Via ThinkProgress, we have Fred Barnes dismissing the resurgence of the Taliban:

On Fox News Sunday, Fred Barnes argued that war in Iraq is “so much more important” than the war in Afghanistan. Iraq is a “country in the heart of the Middle East, one of the most important countries there, an oil-producing country.” He added, “Compare that with there’s a Taliban offensive in southeastern Afghanistan. You talk about the middle of nowhere!”
It's because of this sort of conservative myopia that the attacks of 9/11 were able to come out of "the middle of nowhere." The Clinton Administration pushed the incoming Bush team to focus on Al Qaeda and Afghanistan. The Bush team wanted to focus on China and Iraq, so they blew off those warnings. And 9 months later…

Meanwhile, Osama bin Laden has accomplished another of his missions, this one announced in 1998. In an interview at the time, bin Laden declared his desire to raise the price of oil to $144. Thanks to the pointless invasion and occupation of Iraq, oil hit that benchmark last week. Bin Laden, of course, remains free, perhaps because he's "not that concerned about bin Laden," and doesn't "spend that much time on him." Why not? Because "His network, his host government has been destroyed."

If so, why is Fred Barnes talking about a resurgent Taliban? Why, more importantly, is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying that we have too few troops to successfully repel the Taliban's resurgence.

"I don't have troops I can reach for, brigades I can reach, to send into Afghanistan until I have a reduced requirement in Iraq," Mullen told reporters at the Pentagon. "Afghanistan has been and remains an economy-of-force campaign, which by definition means we need more forces there."

Those who forget their history are ? Casey Luskin
A couple weeks ago, the second creationist bill of the "academic freedom" generation became law. You'd think Casey Luskin, who seems to be the ringleader of the clowns pushing these bills, would be thrilled. But all he can seem to do is find reasons to be upset. First he was angry that Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam let the bill become law, but did so without signing it. Haslam's s [..] Read complete article

Remembering to forget
Slowly but surely, scientists are getting closer to developing a drug that will allow people to eliminate unpleasant memories. The new issue of Neuron features a report from a group of Chinese scientists who were able to use a chemical - the protein alpha-CaM kinase II - to successfully erase memories from the minds of mice. The memory losses, report the authors, are "not caused by disrupting the [..] Read complete article
