FAA CHIEF VISITS SABOTAGED CHICAGO-AREA FACILITY [Excerpts] 

Authorities say a contract employee armed with knives cut through cables and used gasoline to set fire to a basement telecommunications room on Sept. 26, 

destroying equipment that forced the shutdown of Chicago's two airports and 

led to the cancellation of thousands of flights. 

More than 10 miles of cables need to be replaced. 

The FAA is in the midst of transitioning from a 1950s-era radar-based system to one based on GPS.  Known as NextGen, the FAA's more modern satellite-based program should enable more seamless operations. 

But it is years from being fully rolled out.

Watching the debate in the British parliament last Thursday, over whether Britain should, yet again, launch aerial attacks against the long-suffering people of Iraq, it was striking just how much admission there was of the failure of Britain’s policy in the region hitherto. 

That ISIS have been emboldened, or even created, by the West’s insistence on supporting the armed insurgency [proxy war] in Syria over the past three years – pouring money, weapons and training (including even in public relations) into the hands of fighters of all shades – 

was admitted again and again by MPs from all parties, 

as was the reality that it was precisely the dysfunctional state bequeathed by the occupation that had allowed ISIS to take root in Iraq. 

But those very same MPs then almost all went on to explain that would be voting (‘reluctantly’, ‘with a heavy heart’, etc etc etc) for the government’s motion.  The implicit argument was that, yes, we have being doing the wrong thing for the past three years (or past eleven years); but now we have a chance to put it right; indeed it is precisely *because* we helped create the ‘beast’ that we must now help to kill it. 

Pretty much every British attack on the Middle East has been justified along the same lines.  The bombardment of Libya was supposedly a recognition that Britain’s treatment of Iraq – occupation with ground forces – was counter-productive and bred resentment; ousting Gaddafi using Libyan (and Qatari) forces backed by airpower, therefore, was presented as somehow ‘overcoming’ the ‘mistakes’ of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.  But that invasion itself had been presented at the time as the reversal of the previous, ‘mistaken’, British policy of supporting the region’s ‘dictators’ (this was the line used by Tony Blair every time it was pointed out that Britain had fully supported all of the supposed Iraqi crimes which Blair pointed to as vindication for his war).
