    In this instance I’m not speaking about the "Die Hards" who are currently being killed and/or maimed for corporatocracy in Afghanistan and Iraq. No, I’m speaking about those ever diminishing numbers of loyal Bush supporers.
    Bush’s latest CBS approval rating number is down to 29!..the lowest of his pathetic Washington career. But hold on!..there are the true "Die Hards" who will never abandon this miserable excuse for a president.
    Despite this administration’s crass and endless (…)

  • Barbarians at the Gates: The sad fate of two armies.

    Once upon a time the Romans had a great and powerful Army. Just as with our own (US) history, they were formed from volunteers from a wide slice of society; men with real skills and dedication. Unlike our own military, the Romans had plenty of fighters from the elite class (naturally they had better armor!), but there were many similarities too. For instance, the average Roman foot soldier had to carry 66 pounds worth of equipment on his back...almost the exact weight average of the U.S. (…)

  • Somalia
    5 March 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    THE United States, heavily engaged in Afghanistan and Iraq in its global war on terror, is now fighting on a third front in Somalia (1). Washington assembled an anti-terrorist coalition in the Gulf of Aden in 2001 and it is clear from recent air raids and the deployment of US battleships that it regards the Horn of Africa as part of the theatre of operations in its battle against al-Qaida.
    It is up against the Union of Islamic Courts, funded by Mogadishu traders who had had enough of (…)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    Two-pronged U.S. tactics of confrontation and engagement unfolded last week and described by some media as “turnabouts” in the strategy of containment of what Washington perceives as adverse regional roles in the Middle East, but in the Iraqi context and in historical perspective these tactics are revealed only as old diplomatic manoeuvres in the drawers of the State Department.
    In remarks before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday Secretary of State (…)
