WASHINGTON -- Rep. Paul Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2012 and an abortion opponent, said Thursday that anti-abortion activists should try to build a broad coalition and find common ground with supporters of abortion rights as a way to advance their agenda.

Ryan, R-Wis., said in a speech to the Susan B. Anthony List that those who oppose abortion "need to work with people who consider themselves pro-choice ? because our task isn't to purge our ranks. It's to grow them."

"We don't want a country where abortion is simply outlawed. We want a country where it isn't even considered," he said.:SIB

Ryan told the organization that seeks to elect women who oppose abortion rights that "labels can be misleading." He pointed to former GOP Sen. Scott Brown, whose 2010 election in Massachusetts nearly derailed President Barack Obama's health care law. Brown supports abortion rights. In contrast, Ryan told the group that former Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak, who opposed abortion, "delivered the votes that passed it into law."

Many opponents of abortion disagreed with the health care overhaul because it requires most employers to cover birth control free of charge to female workers as a preventative service. The law exempted churches and other houses of worship.

Ryan said critics often urge abortion opponents to abandon their beliefs but "that would only demoralize our voters." But he said anti-abortion activists should work with people of all beliefs to plant "flags" in the law ? "small changes that raise questions about abortion."

He said some people who support abortion rights oppose taxpayer funding of abortions or parental notification of minors' abortions. Others, he said, support the reinstatement of the so-called Mexico City policy, which bans American aid from funding abortions. Obama waived the order soon after taking office in 2009.

The idea of a nuclear Iran ? and of preventing a nuclear Iran ? terrifies security analysts.

Those who argue for a pre-emptive strike against Iran cannot explain exactly how American planes and missiles would take out all the subterranean nuclear facilities without missing a stashed nuke or two ? or whether they might as well expand their target lists to Iranian military assets in general. None can predict the fallout on world oil prices, global terrorism and the politically fragile Persian Gulf, other than that it would be uniformly bad.

In contrast, those who favor containment of a nuclear Iran do not quite know how the theocracy could be deterred ? or how either Israel or the regional Sunni Arab regimes will react to such a powerful and unpredictable neighbor.



The present crisis with North Korea offers us a glimpse of what, and what not, to expect should Iran get the bomb. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would gain the attention currently being paid to Kim Jong Un similarly not otherwise earned by his nation's economy or cultural influence.

We should assume that the Iranian theocracy, like the seven-decade Kim dynasty in North Korea, would periodically sound lunatic: threatening its neighbors and promising a firestorm in the region ? if not eventually in the United States and Europe as well.

An oil-rich, conventionally armed Iran has already used that playbook. When it becomes nuclear, those previously stale warnings of ending Israel or attacking U.S. facilities in the Persian Gulf will not be entirely laughed off, just as Kim Jong Un's insane diatribes are not so easily dismissed.

North Korea has taught the world that feigned madness in nuclear poker earns either foreign aid or worldwide attention ? given that even a 99 percent surety of a bluff can still scare Western publics. North Korea is the proverbial nutty failed neighbor who constantly picks on the successful suburbanites next door, on the premise that the neighbors will heed his wild nonsensical threats because he has nothing and they have everything to lose.

Iran could copy Kim's model endlessly ? one week threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the map, the next backing down and complaining that problems in translation distorted the actual, less bellicose communique. The point would not necessarily be to actually nuke Israel (which would translate into the end of Persian culture for a century), but to create such an atmosphere of worry and gloom over the Jewish state as to weaken the economy, encourage emigration and erode its geostrategic reputation.

North Korea is a past master of such nuclear shakedown tactics. At times Pyongyang has reduced two Asian powerhouses ? Japan and South Korea ? to near paralysis. Can the nations that gave the world Toyota and Samsung really count on the American defense umbrella? Should they go nuclear themselves? Can North Korean leadership be continually bought off with foreign aid, or is it really as crazy serious as it sounds?

Iran would also be different from other nuclear rogue states. The West often fears a nuclear Pakistan, given that a large part of its tribal lands is ungovernable and overrun with Islamic radicals. Its government is friendly to the West only to the degree that American aid continues.

Yet far larger and more powerful India deters nuclear Pakistan. For all the wild talk from both the Pakistani government and tribal terrorists, there is general fear in Pakistan that India has superior conventional and nuclear forces. India is also unpredictable and not the sort of nation that can be periodically threatened and shaken down for concessions.

Iran has no comparable existential enemy of a billion people ? only a tiny Israel of some 7 million. The result is that there is no commensurate regional deterrent.

Nor does Iran have a tough master like nuclear China. Even Beijing finally pulls on the leash when its unpredictable North Korean client has threatened to bully neighbors and create too unprofitable a fuss.

Of course, China enjoys the angst that its subordinate causes its rivals. It also sees North Korea as a valuable impediment to a huge, unified new Westernized Korea on its borders. But that said, China does not want a nuclear war in its backyard. That fact ultimately means North Korea is muzzled once its barking becomes too obnoxious.

A nuclear Iran would neither worry about a billion-person, nuclear existential enemy nearby like India, nor a billion-person patron like China that would establish redlines to its periodic madness. Instead, Tehran would be free to do and say what it pleased. And its nuclear status would become a force multiplier to its enormous oil wealth and self-acclaimed world leadership of Shiite Muslims.

If North Korea has been a danger, then a bigger, richer and undeterred nuclear Iran would be a nightmare.

TEL AVIV, Israel -- Boosted by newly discovered natural resources, Israel is surging ahead economically ? a success that is pushing the issue of the country's $3 billion in annual aid from the United States onto the agenda.

The country made its first intervention in the foreign currency market in almost two years Tuesday, buying $100 million to peg back the growing strength of its shekel.

A Bloomberg survey this week said the shekel was the strongest of 31 major currencies tracked over the last six months.

Last week, Israel passed another milestone, a potential gamechanger for its economy. Gas began to flow from gas fields off the coast. By 2015 Israel is expected to be fully energy independent, and may be a net exporter.

And there?s more good news: In this water-challenged region, Israel is well on the way to water independence. Its water desalination industry supplies up to 40 percent of the country?s demand for water, and another 40 percent comes from recycled water from domestic and commercial consumption. Israel reuses its water two to three times.

The boom may give a louder voice to calls for a reduction to the $3 billion worth of financial assistance Israel receives from the U.S. each year ? especially in the Washington, where budget battles continue.

U.S. campaign groups such as Stop The Blank Check and the Council for the National Interest have long campaigned for the aid program to end, but Republican Sen. Rand Paul recently joined the debate by saying the U.S. could no longer afford to keep borrowing money and then handing it out to others.

"It will be harder to be a friend of Israel if we are out of money. It will be harder to defend Israel if we destroy our country in the process," Paul told the Jerusalem Institute for Market Studies, an Israeli think tank, in January.

'A political football'
That view is echoed by some in Israel, such as Naftali Bennett, a software tycoon and leader of the right-wing Jewish Home political party, who during the recent election campaign said the country needed to free itself from U.S. assistance.

?Our situation today is very different from what it was 20 and 30 years ago. Israel is much stronger, much wealthier, and we need to be independent,? he said.

Michael Koplow, program director of the Israel Institute, a Washington think tank, said: ?Foreign aid is always a political football ? even more so when it comes to Israel. There is no doubt American attention is focused on its own finances.?

However, he noted that 74 percent of the U.S. aid, which is meant for military and defense equipment, has to be spent with U.S. companies.

?Given that Israel is a reliable military spender, you would have to think the defense lobby is going to make sure this aid continues,? Koplow said.

Even those hostile to the aid think it unlikely that Israel?s prosperity will prompt a change.

?The money doesn?t help alleviate poverty in Israel now, so there is no reason why lack of poverty there would cause it to end,? said Robert Naiman, director of Just Foreign Policy.

Yossi Mekelberg, associate fellow of the Middle East and North Africa Program at the U.K.?s Chatham House think tank, said: ?It would be a matter of national pride to be economically successful and independent, but providing financial support also gives some leverage with Israel.?

And Israel still has economic problems. Unemployment is relatively low at 6.3 per cent, but the gap between rich and poor is one of the highest of all developed countries, according to the OECD.

?I don?t think a natural gas boom is going to do much to change that,? observed Koplow.

That disparity swept Yair Lapid, an inexperienced but popular new politician, into the finance ministry earlier this year as part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling coalition. Most of his support came from the disillusioned middle class whose summer of protests in 2011 changed the country?s priorities from political to social issues.

Now Lapid, 49, has to make good on his election challenge, ?Where?s the Money??

Newspapers on Wednesday reported that Lapid had clashed with officials in his department who proposed increases to tuition fees for university students. Lapid responded on his Facebook page that ?if students have to pay more I?ll go home and demonstrate against myself.?

And as the government searches for budgets to cut and taxes to raise, newspapers are full of reports that Israel?s richest man, Idan Ofer, has decided to relocate to London in order to avoid paying more taxes ? a motive his associates deny.

He has become a juicy target for critics who have long claimed that the country?s handful of tycoons have been milking the country dry, leaving the poor to foot the bill.

The gap between rich and poor, and how strange this is for Israelis brought up on the kibbutz ethos of ?we?re all equal,? was well illustrated by the proverbial taxi driver who told a reporter, ?Israel has changed. We all used to wear sandals. If you were rich, you wore better sandals.?

For women headed to newly opened combat roles, there?s this very practical consideration: body armor.

California Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a Democratic member of the Armed Services Committee and founder of the Women in the Military Caucus, said last week during a subcommittee hearing that she is concerned that women ? now that they can serve in combat ? will be encumbered by ill-fitting body armor designed for men.

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta lifted the ban on women in combat in January, overturning the 1994 Pentagon rule restricting women from artillery, armor, infantry and other combat roles. Women had lobbied the Pentagon to end the restrictions since many have found themselves in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But Army and Marine Corps officials say the new generation of body armor is responding to that need in order to alleviate the problems women already serving say they?re facing.

For example, the Army?s improved outer armor vests designed specifically for female soldiers weigh six pounds less than those for men, according to Army Brig. Gen. Paul Ostrowski.

?Going forward, we will always field female body armor with our deploying forces,? Ostrowski said, adding the Army will soon distribute 600 sets of female body armor as part of the Rapid Fielding Initiative, the Army?s program to develop and outfit soldiers with the most modern equipment available.

?From now on,? he declared, ?every female soldier deploying in theater will deploy with female body armor.?

(PHOTOS: Presidents in uniform)

Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-Mass.) praised the improvements in the Army body armor, tailored to better fit women, citing firsthand experience.

?I?ve been briefed on the new, improved outer tactical vests several times. I?ve actually had an opportunity to try it on. I think the improvements are tremendous,? she said, adding it is ?critically important? to protect the new influx of women now able to serve in front-line roles.

?Prior to the adjustments, it was very difficult for a woman who was wearing the standard-issue vest to raise her arm properly in order to properly fire a rifle,? Tsongas added. ?So beyond the comfort issues and just being able to better distribute the weight and all that, it?s critically important ? that women are adequately protected to do the task at hand.?

Starting in July, the U.S. gross domestic product will officially jump by 3%. The change isn't due to some miraculous economic event but rather from a shift in the way the government looks at statistics in the digital age.


Brent Moulton, an associate director at the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis, says the revised benchmark economic number will take into account billions of dollars in intangible assets that have previously been left out.

"We?re capitalizing research and development," Moulton told the Financial Times, "and also this category referred to as entertainment, literary and artistic originals, which would be things like motion picture originals, long-lasting television programs, books and sound recordings."

For example, according to the FT, the output of iPads produced by Apple (AAPL +2.08%) is currently included in GDP, but the R&D needed to create those iPads isn't. With the changeover this summer, R&D will now be considered an investment and will add to the overall measured size of the economy.

Shortfalls in defined-benefit pension plans will also be reevaluated. "We will now show a liability for underfunded plans, which particularly has large ramifications for the government sector," said Moulton, "where both at the state level and the federal level we have large underfunded plan."

The revisions will make the U.S. one of the first countries to adopt a new international standard for tallying up GDP figures.

Other BEA officials say the changes aren't expected to alter views of economic trends and cycles over the past several years -- but they're not sure how the revised data and methodology will affect the future.

"We are carrying these major changes all the way back in time -- which for us means to 1929," Moulton told the FT, "so we are essentially rewriting economic history."

The new accounting will apparently add the equivalent of a country the size of Belgium to the international economy. And it might also, according to Management Today, prompt other countries to follow Washington's lead because "the U.S. provides the de facto standard for GDP measurement around the globe."

WASHINGTON -- The latest attempt by the Republican Party to blame the consequences of sequestration on the president quickly followed reports Monday of lengthy delays at airports.

The delays, which were attributed to the furloughing of Federal Aviation Administration employees, forced waits of more than two hours at New York City and Washington D.C. airports. Mark Duell, vice president for operations at FlightAware, a flight-tracking service, said that staffing shortages and weather were contributing to afternoon delays on inbound flights into airports in Florida (with an average delay of 53 minutes) as well as Charlotte, N.C. (with an average delay of 17 minutes).

Before some morning flights could even land, Republicans were quick to place the blame on President Obama. On Twitter, GOP aides pushed the hashtag #ObamaFlightDelays. Calls came from several top offices for the president to use his authority to redirect the cuts, and some members and campaign committees accused the administration of trying to make a political point at the inconvenience of everyday travelers.

A month-and-a-half after the mandatory budget cuts were initiated, Monday's response was the sharpest round of sequester-related attacks by Republicans since they collectively bemoaned the ending of White House tours.

Yet since those White House tours ended, the economic ramifications of sequestration have been felt in many, and more substantive, ways. Private cancer clinics have denied Medicare patients, Head Start has closed its doors to students, and military students have lost their tuition assistance. That no hashtag campaigns were birthed from those cuts left ample space for pushback.

"What do tours and flight delays have in common?" mused White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer. "They affect [Congress] members directly."

Law enforcement officials are carefully reexamining any possible role that Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva, the wife of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, played in the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, according to three federal officials with knowledge of the investigation. The intense scrutiny comes as a result of information provided by Dzokhar Tsarnaev in his on-again, off-again interrogation by FBI officials before he was read his rights by a federal magistrate.


Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva


According to those officials, Dzokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators that the information that set in motion the series of events leading to Tamerlan?s death and Dzokhar?s apprehension came in a phone call from Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva to her husband. ?She notified him and there certainly didn?t seem to be any notion of surprise ? just a report that ?you?re being watched,?? said one official with knowledge of the investigation. Tsarnaev had seen the photographs and videos distributed by the FBI on television and called her husband to give him a heads up.

After receiving that phone call, authorities believe, Tamerlan decided he could not continue to hide from law enforcement and triggered the brothers? bizarre flight from authorities ? a wild chase that included the murder of an MIT police officer, a convenience-store robbery, a carjacking, shootouts with police officers, the death of Tamerlan and the capture of Dzokhar.

An attorney for Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva said earlier this week that her client knew nothing about her husband?s plans and wanted to help authorities conducting the investigation. ?She is doing everything she can to assist with the investigation,? said Amato DeLuca, her attorney, in a statement. ?The report of involvement by her husband and brother-in-law came as an absolute shock to them all.?

Tsarnaeva, 24, grew up in Rhode Island and converted to Islam after meeting Tamerlan Tsarnaev. She has been staying with her parents in Rhode Island.

FBI officials were angered when a federal magistrate visited Dzokhar Tsarnaev?s hospital room to read him his Miranda rights. Two government officials tell THE WEEKLY STANDARD that the FBI officials had been notified that the magistrate had been dispatched to the hospital, but the interrogators were frustrated that the interrogation was interrupted. ?They didn?t even have enough time to reprioritize their questions,? says one source familiar with the questioning. ?At the very least they should have been given the opportunity to make sure they?d asked all of their highest-priority questions.?

Sources tell THE WEEKLY STANDARD that the questioning of Dzokhar was particularly slow-going because of his injuries. And though the interrogation lasted some 16 hours, it was stopped frequently to accommodate the suspect and his ability to communicate. The younger Tsarnaev stopped cooperating immediately after he was given the Miranda warning.

State Rep. Stella Tremblay (R-Auburn) told a conservative talk show host Tuesday that she knows the federal government was behind the attacks because Jeff Bauman, a bombing victim who helped identify the suspects, was not "screaming in agony" after both his legs were blown off. Tremblay made the comments on The Pete Santilli Show, first reported by miscellanyblue.com, a liberal-leaning website, on Wednesday.

"Then, my first gut reaction seeing the horror of that person that has their legs blown off," Tremblay said. "You know, the bone sticking out? He was not in shock. I looked and I thought, there?s something. ? I don?t know what?s wrong, but it seems surreal to me. I talked to my sister, who?s not into politics at all, and she said, 'Yes, I saw the same thing.' He was not in shock. He was not in pain. If I had had those type of injuries, I?d be screaming in agony."

Tremblay, a tea party member with ties to the birther movement, made the remarks about Bauman after causing a stir with her marathon bombing government conspiracy theory. She said photos of the bombing showed intact backpacks, which she said should have been destroyed if they contained bombs. Last week, she posted a comment on Glenn Beck's Facebook page saying the federal government caused the bombing. She has resisted calls to resign over the post.

During the interview with Santilli, Tremblay said she should not get all the credit for linking the government to the bombing. She said a constituent had pointed her to the information. She said she previously trusted the federal government

Nugent is at it again.

Appearing on conservative pundit Alex Jones' radio program on Tuesday, the controversial rocker suggested that American soldiers who commit suicide are driven to the act by "heartbreak" that President Barack Obama is violating the constitution.

The comment came as Jones and Nugent discussed what they identified as a mainstream media conspiracy against the Tea Party -- conducted because, as Nugent said, Tea Partiers represent "an intelligence to the scam? led by the groomed America-hater commander in chief."

Nugent continued:

I'm gonna hit you with something even more ugly, and just heartbreaking, and anti-American than anything else. I bet you've covered this Alex. We have an epidemic, an unprecedented increase, in the heroes of the U.S. military committing suicides, and I'm gonna tell you why. I?m sure the leftist blogs are gonna attack me, misquote me.
But I?ll tell you why more and more warrior heroes of the military are killing themselves: because they are in absolute frustration and heartbreak that their boss, their commander in chief violates the Constitution that he has made an oath to, while their hero warrior blood brothers are being blown to smithereens and blown up while executing their oath to the same Constitution that the president, the vice president and the attorney general violate.


Nugent went on to say that -- in speaking personally to soldiers gathered around "an Uncle Ted campfire" -- he got the distinct impression that they were repulsed by Obama. "These guys take that oath of the Constitution to heart," Nugent said, and "when they see the abuse of power, and corruption, and the sheer criminality" of the Obama administration, "the frustration level is evil, it's palpable, it's a disease."

Suicides among both active-duty soldiers and military veterans have indeed surged to record levels in recent years. However, as Raw Story explains:

At the National Center for Veterans Studies, recent interviews with soldiers whose suicide attempts failed found that each individual has a complex set of reasons for wanting to end their life, with many listing more than 10 different stress factors in their personal lives. The suicide rate was highest among soldiers who were divorced or separated.

Other recent research points to a potential link between suicide and traumatic brain injuries caused by explosions on the battlefield

Paul Ryan Uses 'Anchor Baby' Slur In Town Hall Meeting (VIDEO)


Rep. Paul Ryan may have emerged as a leader on immigration reform, but he?s still got a thing or two to learn about the issue.

The Wisconsin Republican and last year?s GOP vice presidential candidate used the slur ?anchor babies? during a town hall meeting this week, according to Think Progress.

When responding to a question, Ryan says:

To the anchor baby issue -- they call it anchor babies -- which is when a person comes, has a child here. If you?re born here, you?re a naturalized citizen. You have to change the Constitution? But it?s really treating a symptom, right? People are coming across the border illegally or overstaying their visas. And therefore illegal immigration is fairly easy, and then people are having what?s called anchor babies.

Not everyone, in fact, "call it anchor babies.? It?s a term commonly used among nativist groups and it?s viewed as a slur.

The American Heritage Dictionary classifies the term as ?offensive,? defining it as a ?disparaging term for a child born to a noncitizen mother in a country that grants automatic citizenship to children born on its soil especially when the child?s birthplace is thought to have been chosen in order to improve the mother?s or other relatives? chances of securing eventual citizenship.?

And if you?re born here, you?re not a naturalized citizen. Those born in the United States are entitled to citizenship by the 14th amendment to the Constitution. Naturalization is the process of adopting the citizenship of a new country.

The slur particularly grates on Latino ears. Some 81 percent of undocumented immigrants in the United States are Latin American.

But though Ryan doesn?t have a firm grasp on how to talk about immigration without using offensive slurs, he'll probably figure it out soon since he's emerging as a leader in the House of Representatives on the issue.

One of Ryan?s favorite bands is Rage Against the Machine, which may or may not possibly have something to do with his support for immigration reform.
