 Bluster, Bravado and Hard Reality posted by brill, 2011-04-10 12:05:11
For all its bluster and bravado about high tech digital weaponry and invincible superpower status, the US is laughingly unable to prevail against a bunch of rag-tag tribesmen in Afghanistan and the North West frontier region of Pakistan – notwithstanding that Iraq, the Balkans and other occupied territories hang by a thread.

NATO moves against Libya -- Déjà vu Yugoslavia posted by rad, 2011-03-27 22:14:55
NATO is to take command of all international military operations over Libya, including air strikes on Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's ground forces. [But remember NATO's track record in the Balkans and how they installed a KNOWN murdering criminal as the PM of illegally partitioned Kosovo. Libya is so far an exact repeat performance; an intervention based on fraudulent humanitarian grounds, supporting questionable 'rebels' and (soon) a strategic partition (if regime change fails) in order to appropriate valuable Oil resources and allow for a conduit to existing Mediterranean Oil ports. Brazen organised crime today is undertaken at State levels. The USA and NATO stand condemned while Russia and China stand mute and impotent!] (full story)

 The Gamesmanship of Bob Gates, US Secretary of Defense posted by mitch, 2011-03-03 21:49:25
Addressing West Point cadets recently, US Secretary of Defense, Bob Gates, made what would appear to the uninitiated or uninformed, to be an astonishing statement, “Any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should ‘have his head examined,’ as General MacArthur so [in]delicately put it.” Quite a statement from anyone who holds that office; however, Gates is no fool and is acutely aware for whom these unwinnable, illegal, civilian killing, criminal wars are being waged, the CORPORATIONS or more specifically, Petro-Chemical and associated, Transnational Oil Companies. [Old soldiers roll in their graves!] (full story and 2 comments)

High Ranking former CIA agent Labels US Gov as FASCIST posted by John Pilger via stan, 2011-02-25 20:09:39
Shortly after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, I interviewed Ray McGovern, one of an elite group of CIA officers who prepared the President’s daily intelligence brief. McGovern was at the apex of the "national security" monolith that is American power and had retired with presidential plaudits. On the eve of the invasion, he and 45 other senior officers of the CIA and other intelligence agencies wrote to President George W. Bush that the "drumbeat for war" was based not on intelligence, but LIES. (full story and 1 comments)

America’s Inverted View of Terrorism posted by Asif Haroon Raja via quill, 2011-02-22 21:29:34
As Paul Craig Robert states, 'hypocrisy in America is now so commonplace it is no longer noticed.' In the USA if a person tortures a dog he is sent to jail, but a government functionary indulging in torture against fellow beings is ignored. (full story and 1 comments)

WikiLeaks: US Threatened China over Space Weapons Tests posted by baz, 2011-02-03 21:07:41
WikiLeaks revealed that the USA threatened China over space missile tests following its ground to space missile launch in 2007. The interesting aspect of the cable is how the US immediately rushed to inform its puppet allies, most of which are incapable of waging sophisticated nuclear warfare. (full story and 1 comments)

 Cyber War -- a 21st Century Reality posted by Kismo, 2011-01-17 22:38:54
Western powers have been slow to develop skills in the crucial theatre of cyber warfare; nevertheless it seems, they have finally engaged.

 The Pentagon’s Response posted by baz, 2011-01-15 19:54:46
Never ever assume you’ve seen or heard the worst from the USA, as the sociopaths that rule that nation never cease assailing honour, truth, justice, morality and integrity. Just when you think that nation couldn’t possibly sink any lower, the bar of common decency and morality is lowered AGAIN. (full story)
