Here's a horrific story: A 27-year-old soldier in Tacoma, Washington has allegedly admitted to police that he waterboarded his four-year-old daughter - mere weeks after winning custody of her -- because she could not recite the alphabet. According to the UK Daily Mail, the soldier, Joshua Tabor, "admitted to police he had used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry." As his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline. It's not clear whether Tabor has served in Iraq or Afghanistan -- the soldiers at his military base have served in both -- but there's little doubt that he is a very disturbed individual. Tabor was initially arrested after "being seen walking around his neighborhood wearing a Kevlar military helmet and threatening to break windows."

But hey, I guess the French think they can sell us Exocets now... Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

There is actually a leftist conspiracy theory that our defence has been so badly fucked up on purpose, so there will be no alternative to NATO membership when the bad times return. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
As the old saying goes: every country has an army - its own or somebody elses. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
Me ducks.
