Europe needs to consult with the leaders of Afghanistan to advise them about how to manage a country's assets. 

In the case of the USA, there are maps created by the United States Geological Survey. Those maps are vitally important to infrastructure development AND commodities value.

Then where the USA has commodities that can be removed while the country collects LEASING FEES for the land, there is an AUCTION.

Europe needs to send consultants to Afghanistan to provide guidance to mapping and auctions for the lease of its minerals.

Let's see, who gets the wealth of Kenya? Israel? The USA? Who gets the wealth of Kenya?

I know who should get the wealth of Kenya, Dick Cheney. The complete arrogant entitlement that it takes to invade a disarmed country, kill at will, take its mineral resources to balance the cooked books at Halliburton and then cast the region into complete chaos with some stupid contrived holy man with a charismatic movement that turned the entire world it on its ear. No reverence for life, no reverence for the sovereignty of a country and absolutely no reverence for morality no matter the god one calls upon.

And they HIJACK the USA military to carry out the task. Amazing that the world has stood by and permitted it.

AND.

On top of it all, scoffed at the United Nations and their inspectors. What? The USA military enjoys war that much?

NO BID CONTRACTS, TRUMP. Cheney did it, go ahead, obviously, no one will stop you!

Who's next? What country is up for grabs next time? How many will die next time? Wanna bet real money on it? 

A USA Congressional AUMF will NEVER say, "Sovereign wealth of any country invaded in the interest of USA national security is not coveted by the United States of America. And war reparations will be paid to the same country at the conclusion of such actions by the USA military."

Heck, "W" even resigned from the Geneva Conventions. What are you waiting for Trump!

Typical, ignorant Wall Street billionaire.

The USA went to Afghanistan to end al Qaeda's network. Osama bin Laden is dead. The mission is over and any continuance of the occupation is illegal. There is no reason to be in Afghanistan and if the USA military is in Afghanistan to rob the country of any of its wealth the commanders are soldiers of fortune, should be held for trial and sentenced to prison, including the Commander and Chief.

No USA soldier will die for the wealth of Wall Street. Cheney conducted a war for oil, he is still out and about. The instability of the invasion of greed resulted in an opportunistic terrorist network to develop in Syria called ISIS. Cheney was responsible for ISIS and the deaths it has caused.

Enough!

Illegal wars and grossly immoral of Third World countries.
The outer bands made landfall outs ago along the entire Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida.

The outer bands is where the heavy rains are.

Are you for real? The drainage pumps are working? That enormous project that is supposed to protect the people of Louisiana aren't working? 

The Governor needs to consider sending the National Guard now. There needs to be rescue beginning now.

As Hurricane Harvey (click here) looms in the Gulf of Mexico, threatening dangerously heavy rainfall from Texas to Louisiana, officials in New Orleans are "working around the clock" to repair drainage pumps and turbines that were inoperable during a flooding event earlier this month.

During a press conference Thursday, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu reassured residents that the city was keeping a watchful eye on the intensifying storm and working to prepare for the possibility of heavy rain from Harvey. He asked residents to follow local news and NOLA Ready for continued updates on the situation....
"The Wall" at the Mexican border is not going to work. The wall represents a law enforcement issue. The people at the border don't believe it is going to work either. They believe it will fix the drug issue, it won't.

"The Wall" for the sake of "The Wall" is nothing but hubris. If the people along the Mexican border wants to stop the drug cartels, then they need to insist on having better law enforcement. The wall is not going to stop the drug cartels from carrying guns and killing people and bringing family members into addiction in order for them to work for the drug cartels. The wall will never stop the drug cartels.

It might stop some starving immigrants seeking to cross the border illegally, but, the wall will never solve the problems with the drug cartels. 

The USA military knows exactly where the drug cartels are, the routes they travel, but, nothing is ever done about it. Nothing is ever done about the poppies in Afghanistan either.

These problems can be solved, but, no one bothers and a wall is not going to either.
Harvey is becoming a monster in the Gulf of Mexico very quickly.

With increasing vacancy rates, Captain Obvious and Trump's base can soon make reservation there.

If the USA Congress does not honor the work of the UK; the dossier should be released by the UK government or Wikileaks. Enough.

It is difficult to tell the extent of the corruption of the USA politics and government. It is really up to allies to protect the USA sovereignty and its power to alliances. The USA allies should not be afraid of the strength of the desire for moral government by the American people.

The private investigator (click here) behind the now-infamous Trump “dossier” spent nearly 10 hours behind closed doors answering questions from Senate investigators on Tuesday, but his attorney says he did not reveal who paid his company for the research.

Glenn Simpson, a former Wall Street Journal reporter who cofounded the private research firm Fusion GPS that was hired initially by Republicans and later worked with Democrats to explore then-candidate Donald Trump’s past, was called to Capitol Hill to answer questions about the 35-page document that featured uncorroborated and salacious allegations about the business mogul’s ties to Russia.

"Mr. Simpson told Congress the truth and cleared the record on many matters of interest to congressional investigators,” Simpson’s attorney Josh Levy told reporters after the marathon session concluded.

He said the firm remains “proud” of the work and “stands by it.”...
Harvey is showing classic Climate Crisis characteristics. Superstorm Sandy was over the Atlantic and had more surface area to develop a traditional appearance, but, Harvey's manifestation is similar to Sandy's in that it is enormous.

The larger 'the system (feeder system),' the lower the velocity and the lower the rating of the storm. That has nothing to do with the damage because the water content of these Climate Crisis storms is enormous.

I have stated on more than one occasion there needs to be new language and definitions for a heating planet. 

When Harvey manifested in the Caribbean it never really dissipated. It was distributed over a larger feeder system. At one time there was a vortex over Florida. That was all part of the feeder system to this storm system. There are all kinds of elements that feed these Climate Crisis storms, including, movement of water vapor from the ITCZ.

Harvey never dissipated, it simply was water starved.

Earth has a very dry troposphere. Hurricanes begin in the 21st Century with a build up of water vapor into the troposphere. In other words, air turbulence and waves crashing on the shoreline of continents turn the ocean into water vapor. The feeder systems for these storms are very different. The troposphere has to build water vapor content before the storms manifest.

The dry troposphere is why there are such strong tornado outbreaks. Whoever thought mountains with valleys containing water vapor would see tornadoes develop there. It is all different.

Trump wants to primary incumbents.

In a fiery speech in Arizona Tuesday night in which he implicitly attacked members of his own party, the president took a step into uncharted waters and further imperiled the GOP’s fall legislative agenda.

Donald Trump (click here) has succeeded against all odds as a political force in America. But after his raucous campaign-style speech in Arizona Tuesday night, in which he implicitly attacked the state’s two Republican senators, President Trump is wading ever-deeper into uncharted waters.

Never before has an American president intentionally disavowed members of his party before they abandoned him, historians say.

And thus a critical question emerges just seven months into Mr. Trump’s presidency: Can he govern successfully, despite growing alienation from key members of his own party?...

He isn't interested in governing. Trump is interested in saving himself from a very valid federal investigation. 

The Congress doesn't need him if they make up their minds to be adults. Congress can override any veto he issues. Donald Trump has not placed the country in a difficult place if the Congress decides to govern regardless of Trump's tirades. 

The Republicans aren't putting the country first. They rarely put the country first. Their cronies and their politics always come first. That is their dilemma. Actually, that is the country's dilemma, but, too many citizens are hooked on Facebook politics and gossip. One has to ask how serious Americans are about their country.

Americans need to stop simply waving flags and understand their country and what it takes to govern and protect national security.
