All of our focus was on Iran the last couple of days, but for some reason Libya decided to go full Mad Max without warning anybody, and now we’re playing catch-up here. What in the world is going down in Libya that Putin and Erdogan suddenly feel the need to intervene? RT: General Khalifa Haftar, leader of the Libyan National Army, has rejected the ceasefire proposed by the Russian and Turkish presidents as a way to de-escalate the hostilities with the government in Tripoli. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for a truce in Libya during their meeting on Wednesday in Istanbul, after Turkey sent troops and equipment to Tripoli in support ...
Tulsi Gabbard Goes on Fox News, Shows That She’s the Single Candidate for 2020 That is Against War

Fox News is the only one interviewing Tulsi Gabbard on the Iranian situation. They gave her pushback, but they let her say that this push for war makes absolutely no sense, and that all of this drama with Iran is a result of the initial pullout – by Donald Trump – of the 2015 nuclear deal. After letting her say that, Fox News then showed footage of a man with a messed up face from an IED talking about how Iran was responsible for killing American troops (that the Jews sent to invade Iraq). They then played a video of “bad Islam man” Hassan Nasrallah, the chief of Hezbollah, saying that he will take vengeance on America for the assassination of Qasem Soleimani. The ...

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is sending thousands of additional troops to the Middle East to bolster security and its ability to respond quickly to expected violence throughout the region after a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad killed Iran’s most powerful general, defense officials said Friday. The new deployment will include roughly 3,000 82nd Airborne Division soldiers who were placed on prepare-to-deploy orders earlier this week amid growing tensions in Iraq between the United States and Iran, two officials said. At least several dozen special operations troops were also deployed to the region, one of the officials said. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the ...

A number of intelligent analysts predict Iranian retaliation for Washington’s murder of a high Iranian official who was in Iraq on a diplomatic mission. I understand their logic. However, I wonder. Putin doesn’t want war. Why should he when Washington’s arrogance is destroying the US and the empire. Even Germany has had enough of Washington because of Washington’s interference in German energy policy and sanctions on companies involved with the construction of the Nord 2 gas pipeline. https://www.euractiv.com/section/energy/news/germany-and-eu-condemn-us-sanctions-on-gas-pipeline/ In France Washington’s puppet, Macron, is showing independence by saying that ...

When I wrote that the coup against President Trump had morphed into a Civil War, I wasn’t kidding. The sham impeachment created the perfect environment for the Democrats and Republicans to get something definitive from him by playing the House and the Senate off each other. With the Senate Neocon Occupied Territory the escalation of belligerence since Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed through the impeachment vote has been serious. First, there was the rider to the NDAA which upped the sanctions on everyone willing to work on Nordstream 2. Then Lindsey Graham pushed the frankly insane DASKA bill through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Pelosi forced her impeachment vote ...

Karl Rove and Ari Fleischer, senior adviser and White House press secretary under the George W.

(Photo: Fox News/screenshot)Trump critics and peace advocates watched in horror Thursday night and Friday morning as some of the top architects of the Iraq War took to the corporate media to spin a narrative aimed at retroactively convincing Americans that the killing of Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani was essential to the safety of the U.S.—a replica of the run-up to the Iraq War nearly two decades ago.

The US drone strike at Baghdad airport that killed Iran’s top commander, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, and a senior leader of Iraq’s Shia militia, has set the Mideast on fire. The Trump administration, which authorized the assassination, called it a ’pre-emptive’ strike. Iran branded it ‘outright murder.’ Soleimani was Iran’s second most powerful figure and a national icon. He headed up the Quds Force, the elite branch of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, a key player in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and the Gulf region. Soleimani was also the most capable, intelligent and effective military leader in a region of third rate generals. The 62-year-old general ...

By the twisted logic of Imperial Washington you could say the Iranians were asking for it. After all, they had the nerve to locate their country right in the middle of 35 U.S. military bases! Then again, your saner angels may ask: What in the hell is Washington doing with a massive military footprint in a region and in a string of backwater countries that have virtually no bearing on homeland security, safety and liberty? Djibouti? Oman? Kyrgyzstan? Uzbekistan? Afghanistan? Bahrain? Kuwait? And, yes, Iraq and Iran? In fact, Washington destroyed the former for no good reason and based on egregious Big Lies about Saddam’s nonexistent WMDs and sheltering of al-Qaeda. That turned Iraq ...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson reacted to news of the death of a top Iranian military leader by warning viewers against “reckless and incompetent” proponents of war with Iran. As news of the death of Iran’s Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani during an airstrike near Baghdad’s airport broke during Thursday night’s broadcasting of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the Fox News host observed that the United States “appears to be lumbering toward a new Middle East war,” one that “official Washington has wanted for decades.” googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('dailycaller_inline1'); }); Carlson opined that “disgraced ...

US killing of Iranian commander on Iraqi soil violates terms of US stationing troops in the country – Iraqi PM The interim prime minister of Iraq has condemned the US assassination of a senior Iranian commander, calling it an act of aggression against his country. Qassem Soleimani was killed at Baghdad airport. Soleimani, the commander of the elite Quds Force, was killed after his convoy was hit by US missiles. A deputy commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), the Iraqi militia collective backed by Iran, was killed in the same airstrike. In a statement on Friday, the caretaker leader of Iraq's protest-challenged government, Adil Abdul Mahdi, said the US assassination ...

Newly released testimony from Eddie Gallagher's fellow SEALs paints a dark picture of Trump's 'hero.' President Trump may think that bringing convicted war criminals on the 2020 campaign trail will bolster his cred with the base, and maybe it will, but it’ll be a bumpy ride. White knights aren’t always so stainless, and Trump has chosen a collection of tarnished men who even their fellow comrades think are a disgrace to the uniform. Who is Trump to say which SEAL Team 7 member is the hero and who is the heel? Days after the president hosted Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher and his wife at the summer White House in Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the New York Tines has ...

But last week, three of our service members died, and our nation needs time to mourn. My fellow Knoxvillian Alex Haley used to say, “Find the good and praise it.” And rather than write about the impeachment clown show or other aspects of Washington dysfunction, I’m going to follow his advice. And this weekend, the good was not hard to find. It came in the form of Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson of ...

There have been many US military interventions that were based on lies. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is not some kooky blogger’s opinion. It is an extensively documented and indisputable fact. Nothing has ever been done to address this extensively documented and indisputable fact. No laws were ever changed. No war crimes tribunals were ever held. No policies or procedures were ever revised. No one was ever even fired. No changes were implemented to prevent the Iraq deception from happening again, and, when it happened again, no changes were implemented to prevent the Libya deception from happening again. When you make a mistake, you take measures afterward to ensure that you ...

Even after the release of the Afghanistan Papers, our elites are still determined to escape without blame. Almost two weeks after the Washington Post’s Craig Whitlock published his six-part series on the trials, tribulations, and blunders of Washington’s 19-year-long social science experiment in Afghanistan, those involved in the war effort are desperately pointing fingers as to who is to blame. An alternative narrative has emerged among this crop of elite policymakers, military officers, and advisers that while American policy in Afghanistan has been horrible, the people responsible for it really did believe it would all work out in the end. Call it the “we were ...

The Afghanistan Papers could have been the start of redemption, but it's all been subsumed by impeachment and an uninterested public. There is a lesson to be learned from the Washington Post’s publication of the “Afghanistan Papers,” which chronicle the corruption, ineptitude, dishonesty, and strategic disarray that have marked the Afghanistan war since its earliest days. That lesson is this: when it comes to war, the American people and their elected representatives will do just about anything to avoid the truth. Granted, Americans have become used to classifying the Afghanistan war as an afterthought. An undertaking begun in a faraway place for long since forgotten ...

A devastating investigative report was published in the Washington Post on December 9th. Dubbed the “Afghanistan Papers” in a nod to the Vietnam War’s famous “Pentagon Papers,” the report relied on thousands of documents to similarly expose how the US government at the presidential level across three administrations, acting in collaboration with the military brass and civilian bureaucracy, deliberately and systematically lied repeatedly to the public and media about the situation in Afghanistan. Officials from the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations have all surged additional troops into Afghanistan while also regularly overstating the “success” that ...

“We were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan. We didn’t know what we were doing.” So said Gen. Douglas Lute, who oversaw the US war on Afghanistan under Presidents Bush and Obama. Eighteen years into the longest war in US history, we are finally finding out, thanks to thousands of pages of classified interviews on the war published by the Washington Post last week, that General Lute’s cluelessness was shared by virtually everyone involved in the war. What we learned in what is rightly being called the “Pentagon Papers” of our time, is that hundreds of US Administration officials – including three US Presidents – knowingly lied to ...

The 'I knew all along' takes are flooding in now that the Blob has embraced the narrative of failure. Is the Afghanistan War state going through its own #MeetToo moment? Anyone who has been in Washington long enough knows that the first to speak against the accepted orthodoxy of “the body” is most certainly punished—a sacrificial lamb of truth—but once there’s safety in numbers, shifting positions and indulging in alternative thinking becomes not only acceptable, but a fashionable totem of reinforcing one’s place in the establishment. For example, when Rep. Ron Paul said the Iraq War was a failure he was flayed by his own party as a conspiratorial ...

The some 2,000 pages of notes from interviews of senior officials who have shaped US strategy in Afghanistan confirm that “senior US officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan throughout the 18-year campaign, making rosy ...

We absolutely needed to invade and occupy these people. For their precious resources… erm, rather, for their industrial capacity… for their opium? Whatever. It was important. The Afghan war is one of the most absurd conflicts that America has ever engaged in. We’ve been occupying this country for almost 20 years now, with no tangible benefits and no meaningful explanation as to why. The initial excuse was that Osama Bin Laden was hiding there, so we had to invade the entire country – to find that one guy. Yet with Bin Laden long dead, the occupation still goes on, and the cost and death toll is still climbing. What’s going on? To make matters worse, it turns ...

The Pentagon cannot be pleased with the Washington Post today. That’s because the Post has just disclosed a mountain of previously secret documentary evidence within the military showing that the Pentagon has been intentionally lying for years about the “progress” that it was making with its forever war in Afghanistan. While the Pentagon has been publicly assuring the American people that its war has been going swimmingly well, the truth is that it’s been the exact opposite. The documents consist of brutally candid interviews with military insiders, who believed that their statements would forever remain secret. After three years of refusing to comply with the Freedom ...

Meanwhile, her fellow Democrats appear abysmally unconcerned about the human and financial toll. The Democratic establishment is increasingly irritated. Representative Tulsi Gabbard, long-shot candidate for president, is attacking her own party for promoting the “deeply destructive” policy of “regime change wars.” Gabbard has even called Hillary Clinton “the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party.” Senator Chris Murphy complained: “It’s a little hard to figure out what itch she’s trying to scratch in the Democratic Party right now.” Some conservatives seem ...
