WASHINGTON - An island in the Indian Ocean, vital to the U.S. military, disappears as the sea level rises. Rivers critical to India and Pakistan shrink, increasing military tensions in South Asia. Drought, famine and disease forces population shifts and political turmoil in the Middle East.
U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, viewing these and other potential impacts of global warming, have concluded if they materialize it would become ever more likely global alliances will shift, the need to respond to massive relief efforts will increase and American forces will become entangled in more regional military conflicts.
It is a bleak picture of national security that backers of a climate bill in Congress hope will draw in reluctant Republicans who have denounced the bill as an energy tax and jobs killer because it would shift the country away from fossil fuels by limiting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities.

How sad that they now want to claim global warming is a threat to our national security. They've all forgotten about the terrorists that attacked us on 9/11 and still to this day attack our troops in Afghanistan. Meanwhile Obama worries more about attending a fundraiser than he does providing our troops with the means to get the job done over there.

Incrementalism...70+ plus years of #### shoved down our "collective" throats..."the will of the people"..."the greater good"..."for our children"...commerce and trade...the general welfare...control FREAKS...self centered jack #####....narcissists...egotistical maniacs...

A "dream" for an INDEPENDENT (Why we are) Sovreign Nation turned into a CO-dependent society of slaves...a principle "all men are created equal" trampled on by thieves, crooks and liars ELECTED TO SERVE.

There are only two thing he worries about. Making sure that he gets his political agenda done any way he has to and insuring that this Nation is "fundamentality changed" before he gets out of office.
