From news reports for November 15, 2006,

Anbar Province
Bring `em on: One U.S. soldier and three Marines were killed during combat in Anbar Province, the insurgent stronghold in western Iraq, the military said in a statement Wednesday. The soldier assigned to 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division and the three Marines assigned to Regimental Combat Team 7 died Tuesday from wounds sustained in “enemy action while operating in Anbar Province,” the statement said.

Baghdad
A suicide bomber drove his car into a tent where a funeral was being held in the mostly Sunni-Arab neighborhood of Dora in southern Baghdad, killing three people and wounding 15. Three bodies, blindfolded with their hands and legs tied, were found by police in eastern Baghdad. A car bomb exploded in a parking lot in central Baghdad on Wednesday, killing eight people and wounding 32. The car exploded near a gasoline station about 9:45 a.m. in the Bab Shargi neighborhood. Gunmen attacked the convoy of Salama al-Khafagi, a former member of the governing Council, wounding a bodyguard and killing a passer-by in the western Jamiaa district of Baghdad. Two Shiites were killed by gunmen who set fire to their home in southern Baghdad.

Today the DailyKos community re-issued its call to support S.1508, the “Senate Campaign Disclosure Parity Act” which was originally introduced during the 108th Congress and was re-introduced on July 27, 2005.

JK is a co-sponsor of this legislation along with Senators Feingold, Cochran, Durbin, McCain, as well as Senators Landrieu, Lugar, Dodd, McConnell, Salazar, Graham, Isakson, Cornyn, Murkowski, Hutchison, Lieberman, Allard, Grassley and Chafee.

It provides for:

• Mandatory electronic filing for designations, statements or reports pertaining to Senate elections by persons or committees having or expecting to have aggregate contributions or expenditures in excess of $50,000 a year; and

• Forwarding to the Federal Election Commission of electronic designations, statements or reports filed with the Secretary of the Senate within 24 hours of receipt, and for accessibility of such reports to the public on the Internet. <!-more-> For those who aren’t sure why S.1508 is necessary, the Campaign Finance Institute has prepared some background info:

- Under current law which has applied to all federal House and Presidential candidates, Political Action Committees (including Senate leadership PACs), and party committees (except the national Senate ones) since 2001, searchable information on all contributions and expenditures is available to the public via the FEC website within 24 hours. Since the law does not apply to Senate candidates and party committees, the same information on their finances is conveniently available only after long delays (up to a month for all contributions) or never (for expenditures). Citizens are forced to go page by page through thousands of pages of filings to uncover information relevant to voting decisions, ensuring democratic accountability and confidence in government.

- As late as October 30, just three days before the November 2004 election, the public was unable to search for FEC-reported contributions information on 85% of the individual contributions to Senate campaigns from July 1 through September 30. Nor could it search for any of the contributions received in September by the Democratic and Republican Senatorial committees.

- Senate paper reports have to be hand entered into FEC electronic databases, largely by a paid contractor. This process is not only time consuming but replete with human error. For example, in the 2004 FEC database, Sen. Ron Wyden is shown as contributing $2.3 million to the Democratic Senatorial Committee whereas inspection of his paper report reveals that he donated only $200,000.

John Kerry has been a leader in campaign finance reform. In his first Senate race in 1984, he persuaded all the primary challengers to run the first PAC-donation-free senate race in the country’s history.

 

This USA Today headline, “Shinseki was Right” caught our eye. It was grouped with the Honolulu Advertiser article, “Kaua’i-born general ‘was right’ “

Both articles focused on the exchange between Sen. Lindsay Graham® and General Abizaid in a Congressional hearing yesterday. The Honolulu Advertiser, which acknowledged the hometown link in the title, opened with:

WASHINGTON — The top U.S. commander in the Middle East and Central Asia told Congress yesterday that Gen. Eric Shinseki was correct when he predicted more troops were required to secure Iraq after Saddam Hussein was ousted from power.

In March 2003, before the invasion, the Kaua’i-born Shinseki estimated several hundreds of thousands of troops would be needed to occupy Iraq after Saddam’s fall.

Shinseki, who was chief of staff of the Army at the time, was criticized by many Pentagon officials, including Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz. Shinseki’s figures were “wildly inaccurate,” Wolfowitz said. Shinseki retired from the Army three months later.

But yesterday, Army Gen. John Abizaid, chief of U.S. Central Command, said Shinseki was correct.

“General Shinseki was right that a greater international force contribution, U.S. force contribution and Iraqi force contribution should have been available immediately after major combat operations,” said Abizaid.

Looks like another case of acknowledgement after the fact that someone who knew what he was talking about was ignored and mocked by incompetents in the Bush administration.

But what really stood out for me was this thoughtful comment on the USA Today News blog. It provides a well-rounded, boots-on-the-ground, pragmatic assessment of what’s happening in Iraq by someone who has served in Iraq. <!-more->

Since the fall of 2003 I have deployed to Baghdad Iraq with the Army for a total of 26 months. Indeed – Shinseki was right, and so was Sec. of the Army White for backing him. The neo-cons were absolutely wrong headed about how to go about liberating Iraq from Saddam and then provide the right kind of environment for Democracy. Both detractors (not “cut and run” mind you, but “envelop and overwhelm” strategists) were relieved of duty. In my mind – this is where everyone learned to hold the administration’s neocon-line and the planning veered off into la-la land.

I am SUPREMELY happy that Rumsfield resigned. To his credit, he has been doing a lot of good, necessary things for the armed forces – but this was a fatal mistake. The Neo-conservatives were blinded by a faith that other cultures value Democracy, the lies and whisperings of Iraqi expatriots (Chalabi), and [by] a mirage of cheap oil in a peaceful middle east. They saw the costs as low and truly believed that other forces (Democracy / Iraqis / Coalitions) would do the work for us. They were absolutely deluded… [including] W.

VP Cheney said, “My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.”—March 16, 2003

We were liberators… for 30 seconds until everyone in Iraq realized that no one was stopping them from looting, killing, stealing, kidnaping, pushing their own agendas, and assuming power at will. All that the general Iraqi citizen has looked for since that day is ANY authority figure – the US, Al Sadr, Sistani that can enforce the rule of law and a civilized society outside their front door.

So – what can we do now? I don’t feel qualified to assert that I know the answer. But I CAN guess. Especially in light of what some of you are writing on this BLOG. =^)

It’s too late to bring in more forces. The “several hundred thousand” that was proposed would only escalate the already high level of hate, anger, and in many cases surprise and disappointment in the futility of American intervention that the poor coverage and poor outcomes of this conflict have brought.

Moreover – the political environment at present won’t allow for a larger commitment. The reason that the commanders on the ground keep saying they don’t need more troops is because they have enough for the mission they have been given! Maintain secure forward operating bases (FOB’s), train the Iraqi Army and Police, do some patrols to take out pockets of insurgents and provide quick reactionary force (QRF) response teams to provide security after an attack.

You want to hear them scream for more troops? Change their MISSION to “Secure Iraq” and wait. I believe that all we can take away from this is YET ANOTHER lesson that you can’t fight a war with a half-assed military commitment and presence and then expect the US Armed forces to be a police force in a foreign land, with a foreign culture without having extinguished the enemy or having enforced stability or peace.

We have to leave. Iraqi’s have to swim – on their own – or sink. It’s a very complex part of the world, the cradle of civilization, and disagreements go back far beyond the Muslim Shiah/Suni rift which occurred in 900 A.D.

From what I have seen, heard, and know… there are three processes that will provide any type of stability in that region: a dictator, a religious civil war (which will never lead to a unified Iraq with “victory” for any one cleric, sect, race, or tribe), or a religiously affiliated, elected government with truly enforceable AUTHORITY that is perceived as REAL and POWERFUL by the citizens without a foreign presence. In any event – we have to devolve ourselves from the responsibilities that we have assumed.

As Larry McMurtry put it in Lonesome Dove – “Jake’s too leaky a vessel to put much faith in.” At this point – so is US foreign policy.

Thanks Kyle for your service and for your clear-eyed analysis.

 

Carol Shea-Porter was a guest blogger here on johnkerry.com on October 13th. One of her campaign team members, dkulju, has written about the experience of working with Carol on her campaign both in the run up to the primary election and the regular election on dailykos. It got the honor of being front-paged by Markos and we have to agree with that assessment.

It’s a wonderful story of just doing it. He talks about what they had to start with and what they had to accomplish. And after an appraisal of who was where in the primary race, he said, “At this point I pretty much felt we needed a miracle.”

And then they went on to create their own miracle. <!-more->

We had a bit of a problem getting our ground game going due to the fact that the State party charges a significant amount of money to access the voter file. We simply didn’t have the money… so we did what any bunch of crazy Carol supporters would do – we built our own voter file one town at a time.

Volunteers went town to town getting paper check lists and scribbling down who pulled a Democratic ballot in the 04 state primary. As we would find out later this data was not in the voter file the state sold. This was a gigantic advantage for us as we could target our limited resources solely at the voters we knew would show up in what we knew was going to be a low turnout election. I had the nasty job of taking this information from some 80-90 towns, all in different files, all formatted differently and creating 18,000 mailing labels for our personalized postcard mailing. I didn’t sleep that week.

Our postcards, all 18,000 of them, were hand signed by our volunteers in nearly every town in this district. They were mailed locally first class. Our volunteers wrote little notes asking people to support Carol. We let them do their own thing with that. This well targeted personal contact was the only way to combat the slick DCCC style mailings of our opponent. We could only afford one touch via direct mail so we had to make it count.

We did literature drops. [...] in the larger towns and we empowered our supporters to do whatever they could in their communities. Ours was a fun campaign to work for. Our volunteers wrote volumes of letters to the editor, all passionate and personal, not from dictated bullet points. Getting my hands in yet one more area I wrote an application to make it easy for them to mail every paper in the district. Not having an office or any physical infrastructure we ran decentralized phone banks by sending out phone lists to individuals so they could make local calls from their homes.

He wound up the primary adventure with

Our opponent had a 10-1 money advantage, multiple union endorsements, the big DCCC endorsement, paid DC staffers and some quiet support from the State party (which officially remained neutral). We had a wonderful candidate, an energized grass roots army, a great strategy, and the technical ability to target our efforts better than the professionals. We didn’t just outwork them, we out smarted them as well.

And that would be a really great story of people powered politics…except we were about to write a better one.

The rest of the story is even more inspirational.

Congratulations to Carol and all of Carol’s team—you did a remarkable job!

 

There are three blogs which all identified the same item which we thought we’d highlight here.

Steve Benen, a writer and political consultant, had some interesting points to make about some of the current discussion of what to do in Iraq at his blog, The Carpetbagger Report.

In a piece titled “If this isn’t ‘chaos,’ what is it?” he mentioned McCain’s rejection of a troop redeployment plan for Iraq on MTP where he (McCain) used “the word “chaos” four times during the interview”.

Steve went on to recount the horrible stats that we’ve all heard and asked, “I’m curious, if this isn’t chaos, what is?”

But what we found most interesting was the following analysis:

As far as the other side of the aisle, a growing number of people are taking a second look at John Kerry’s approach to the war and coming to the conclusion, “Maybe that Kerry guy knew what he was talking about.”

Some U.S. military officers say they sense a growing consensus in Washington for imposing firmer deadlines and reducing U.S. troop presence. Some said they believed that would be the right move.

“The John Kerry position of timetables as a forcing mechanism for the Iraqis to get their act together is not that far off from what other people [involved in the U.S. effort in Iraq] are saying,” said one officer, referring to a proposal by the Democratic Massachusetts senator.

Indeed, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Peter Pace, explained that the Bush administration is basically currently pursuing the same strategy of containing terrorism that Kerry advocated in 2004.

Bush’s Iraq Study Group, meanwhile, also seems to believe a Kerry-esque approach may be the way to go.

A commission backed by President Bush that is exploring U.S. options in Iraq intends to propose significant changes in the administration’s strategy by early next year, members say.

Two options under consideration would represent reversals of U.S. policy: withdrawing American troops in phases, and bringing neighboring Iran and Syria into a joint effort to stop the fighting.

My hunch is the Bush White House has just been looking for an excuse to give up on its foolish and disastrous policy, and the ISG may give the Bush gang the chance to change course. The administration has already failed, but now it has the chance to stop digging deeper into the hole.

And, somewhere, John Kerry will whisper, “I told them so….”

<!-more-> The editor at truthdig picked out the same point .

Does Gen. Pace Agree with John Kerry on Iraq?

Posted on Nov 13, 2006

From MSNBC

Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, told MSNBC that “winning” in Iraq would mean reducing the violence to a level that permitted the relatively stable functioning of government—in other words: the exact “policing of terrorism” model that Bush and Cheney mocked in 2004.

and directed their readers to this item:

the Thinkprogress piece which highlighted the same thing.

Joint Chiefs Chairman: Administration Is Pursuing Same Terrorism Policy Bush Trashed In 2004

During the 2004 election, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) likened the war against terrorist networks to fighting crime, suggesting that both could never be fully defeated but their impact on our lives could be drastically reduced:

“We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they’re a nuisance,” Kerry said. “As a former law-enforcement person, I know we’re never going to end prostitution. We’re never going to end illegal gambling. But we’re going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn’t on the rise. It isn’t threatening people’s lives every day, and fundamentally, it’s something that you continue to fight, but it’s not threatening the fabric of your life.”

Kerry was mercilessly attacked for his suggestion that we attempt to reduce terrorism to level where it is a “nuisance.”

[...]

In an interview with MSNBC, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Peter Pace, explained that the Bush administration is currently pursuing the same strategy that Kerry advocated in 2004.

[...]

PACE: Winning to me is simply having each of the nations that we’re trying to help have a secure environment inside of which their government and their people can function. Example: Here in Washington, D.C., there’s crime, but there’s a police force. And the police force keeps the level of crime below the level at which the government can function. That’s really what winning in the war on terrorism is.

  Precisely.

  Here’s a real plan by someone who understood what we needed in 2004 and has continued to speak out.

Road Report from Ted Chiodo:

This weekend I traveled down to Columbia South Carolina to meet up with John Kerry who was speaking before The South Carolina Education Association (SCEA). The weather in South Carolina was clear, warm and sunny—a nice break from the blustery rain of DC. Marvin and I flew down the afternoon before with a plan to meet up with JK in the morning. While walking with my victorious head held high through the Columbia Airport, I noticed that the powers-that-be had installed rocking chairs in the main terminal. Marvin and I agreed that this was a singular achievement in airport design and clearly an advancement over most airport seating arrangements. I only wish rocking chairs were available in places like ORD and LAX. Clearly this is a topic I could write about at length but other important issues are pressing.

We were picked up from the airport by our friend and counselor at law Bill Nettles and his wife Zoe who took us to a great restaurant called Motor Supply in Columbia. I highly recommend the pork chops.

The next morning we picked up John Kerry at the airport and headed down to The SCEA headquarters on Zimalcrest Drive in Columbia. The headquarters was a large brick building buzzing with teachers and education professionals. JK hopped out of the car and was greeted by gracious President and Vice President of The SCEA, Shelia Gallagher and Judy Fair. I snapped some pictures of the greeting as we all headed into a large auditorium to speak to the 200 gathered educators. <!-more-> John Kerry began by thanking everyone for their efforts in 2006. I captured the entire speech on video that’s posted on our multimedia page. It was a speech straight from the heart about the importance of education and the possibilities facing a Democratic Majority. It is well worth the viewing.

The teachers listened intently as JK talked about the work to be done with a new and powerful majority which will treat the education of future generations of Americans like the priority it is. He emphasized that the American people had changed course in this election and that a focus on making sure children have the tools necessary to thrive in the global economy, will be at the forefront of their effort.

Mahalo and let’s get to work.

Sometimes pictures and music say it better than mere words in print. From blogger globalvillage1 comes this tribute. We add our thanks to those expressed in the video.

To all our heroes, active duty and veterans:

Thank you for your service. We will not forget.

 

Netroots had an impact this year! We combined the three netroots Actblue pages from DailyKos, Eschaton, and Blue America (a collective effort from Firedoglake, DownWithTyranny, and Crooks & Liars).

If you take a look at the top recipients of netroots donations, you’ll see some familiar names like Jim Webb, Jon Tester, Joe Sestak, Jerry McNerney, Patrick Murphy and Ned Lamont. Know what’s significant about that list? 5 out of the 6 won. And the sixth guy deserves kudos for putting the Iraq war on the campaign agenda for Democrats.

And the asterisks? They identify the candidates that the johnkerry.com community supported. Check out the home page for the complete list of candidates supported by the johnkerry.com community in this election cycle.

JK is gearing up the email list to help out Mary Jo Kilroy and the fight to get all the votes counted in OH-15.

One of these tight races is in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District where Mary Jo Kilroy took on Republican Deborah Pryce, a member of the House leadership team and a rubber stamp for George Bush’s misplaced priorities and failed polices in Iraq.

Today on the campus of The Ohio State University, Mary Jo will stand with her fellow Democrats and demand that every vote in Ohio be counted. Stand with her! Please join her to make sure that all absentee and provisional ballots are counted.

The rally will begin at 4:00 p.m. at Stecker Lounge, on the 3rd floor of the Ohio Union at OSU.
