In addition, young children in Fallujah are now experiencing hideous cancers and leukaemias. These deformities are now well documented, for example in television documentaries on SKY UK on September 1 2009, and on SKY UK June 2008. Our direct (…)

  • THE AFGHAN TRAP REVISITED: COMPOUNDING OUR MISTAKES
    7 November 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    JAZZMAN CHRONICLES. DISSEMINATE FREELY.
    Let’s assume that the group of people who planned and executed the September 2001 attack on America’s institutions of finance, the military and an unknown third target (I would have thought the CIA in Langley, Virginia) were something more capable than idiots. Let us assume they had at least a notion of a plan that went beyond hitting us where it hurts.
    The American response to such an attack was not difficult to predict: We would identify a (…)

  • The Next Lost War
    18 October 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    Never has Colin Powell’s Pottery Barn analogy been more apt than in the next lost war, Pakistan. In our quest to strike down radical Islam, we have done so like an angry housewife chasing a mouse with a broom, and in the process done more damage with the broom than the mouse ever could.
    I recently listened to Ray McGovern speak about Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the third rail of American foreign policy, Israel. McGovern, a life long security analyst for the (…)
