    2 comments

    After our "holier than thou" General Pace made his comment about the immorality of homosexuality, presidential hopeful extreme Right wing Congressman Duncan Hunter (part of the military industrial complex) and a war hawk extraordinaire...made a statement which is false right down to the ground: "Morality is what our Marines are all about; they fight to protect our right to have morals"
    How’s that again? What’s the last time you saw a TV commercial for any military service saying: "Join (…)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    Fulfilling a 60-year old Israeli dream and an American unwavering strategy, the 22-member League of Arab states are now in consensus on a potentially groundbreaking Arab Peace Initiative (API), which pledges their collective and full recognition of the Jewish state and full-fledged permanent peace in return for withdrawing the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) to 1967 lines, the establishment of an independent Palestine with eastern Jerusalem as its capital, and “an agreed, (…)

    Washington, DC - Leave it to the controversial pro-Israel Lobby, “AIPAC,” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, to attract a crowd of very vocal protesters. On March 12, 2007, it was in its second of a three-day annual gabfest, held in this city’s Convention Center. On its web site, AIPAC bragged that 5,000 activists would show up for the event, which generally draw (…)

    "We know we don’t know what we know what we don’t know and don’t know what we know we don’t know we know"....Donald Rumsfeld.
    After years of watching war coverage on the MSM and of course, CNN, one has to wonder "Is that all there is?". The answer, of course is that what you’ve seen and heard isn’t even WHAT there is.
    CNN has never discussed Depleted Uranium poisoning, for example, in Kosovo, Gulf War 1, in Afghanistan and Iraq (1000s still born, malformed and/or suffering slow and (…)

  • Ashgari’s Kidnapping to provide a Pretext for War Against Iran

    The story making the rounds (planted by Israelis) that retired Revolutionary Guard General and former Deputy Secretary of Defense Ali Reza Asghari has "defected" to the West, is pure cockandbull story.
    First of all Ashgari lived in Lebanon and was with the Hizbullah. Lebanon as everyone knows has open borders and no restrictions on anyone leaving the country.
    Even Iranians, including high officials, travel freely and are not restricted. Iran is more democratic than America, whose (…)

    Why I fled George Bush’s war
    Joshua Key, 28, was a poor, uneducated Oklahoma country boy who saw the U.S. army and its promised benefits — from free health care to career training — as the ticket to a better life. In 2002, not yet 24 but already married and the father of two , Key enlisted. He says his recruiting officer promised he’d never be deployed abroad, but a year later he was in Iraq. Only 24 hours after arriving, as Key recounts in The Deserter’s Tale (Anansi), he experienced his (…)
