Chavez says capitalism may have ended life on Mars CARACAS \| Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:47pm EDT (Reuters) - Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday. "I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet," Chavez said in speech to mark World Water Day. Chavez, who also holds capitalism responsible for many of the world's problems, warned that water supplies on Earth were drying up. "Careful! Here on planet Earth where hundreds of years ago or less there were great forests, now there are deserts. Where there were rivers, there are deserts," Chavez said, sipping from a glass of water. He added that the West's attacks on Libya were about water and oil reserves. Earlier this month, the U.S. National Research Council recommended that NASA's top priority should be a robot to help determine whether Mars ever supported life and offer insight on its geological and climatic history. It would also be the first step in an effort to get samples from Mars back to Earth. A NASA team recently tested a space suit in a setting with extreme conditions akin to some of those found on Mars -- an Argentine base in Antarctica -- for possible use on a visit to the Red Planet. reuters.com

Defining American Victory in Libya Posted by Trent Telenko on March 22nd, 2011 (All posts by Trent Telenko) Print This Post This is how I see America’s definition of victory in the current Libyan War: Total American Victory 1) Qadaffi dead or fled and, 2) A stable successor state that is not a terrorist haven, and, 3) A democracy. American Victory 1) Qadaffi dead or fled and, 2) A stable successor state that is not a terrorist haven. Marginal American Victory 1) Qadaffi dead or fled and 2) Unstable state run by junta or autocrat, very anti-Israel to maintain power, hostile to Al-Qaeda. Marginal American Defeat 1) Qadaffi dead or fled and 2) Unstable state run by junta or autocrat, very anti-Israel to maintain power, neutral to supportive of Al-Qaeda. American Defeat 1) Qadaffi dead or fled and 2) Iranian aligned, Al-Qaeda terrorist supporting state. Total American Defeat 1) Qadaffi survives in power, or Special Victory Conditions: 1) America suffers total defeat if we get a 9/11/2001 class terrorist attack connected to the Libyan fighting, regardless of any other outcome. 2) Drop our victory level by one level for every successful, less than 9/11/2001 class, domestic terrorist attack linked to foreign terrorists during Libyan fighting. 3) Drop victory level by two levels if the victory requires extended commitment of a division plus (20,000) of American troops for more than a year. chicagoboyz.net
