Poster Comment:"Masters Of War" by Bob Dylan
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks.
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in his hand
And you hide from his eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly.
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That ...

Series of attacks shake Kabul Taliban claim responsibility as Western embassies and key government buildings come under attack in Afghan capital. The Taliban said they and other armed groups were behind the co-ordinated attacks across the country [Reuters] The Afghan capital has come under co-ordinated attack, with explosions and gunfire rocking the diplomatic enclave - home to government buildings, Western embassies and NATO bases - as gunmen tried to enter parliament. Suicide bombers had taken over three buildings across the city, each respectively near the diplomatic quarters, the Afghan parliament, and a coalition base, local media reported, citing police sources.

Nuclear Chess

Nuclear Chess by Stephen Lendman On April 14, two days of nuclear chess began in Istanbul. At issue is Iran's civilian program. So-called P5+1 countries - America, Russia, China, Britain, and France - plus Germany - know it's peaceful. They pretend otherwise. Expect toing and froing without resolution. Washington plans it that way. So do Britain, France and Germany. They're part of the dirty game claiming Iran has nuclear weapons ambitions. They demand Tehran prove a negative. How do you provide evidence revealing what you don't have? Resolution won't come from Istanbul. Nor will Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's fatwa against acquiring nuclear weapons help. He calls ...

Syrian Insurgents Violate Ceasefire by Stephen Lendman It was too good to last. On day one, insurgents violated ceasefire calm. Blame Washington's dirty hands. It manipulates everything going on. It won't tolerate peace and stability. Regime change plans need violence blamed on Assad. That's imperialism's ugly face. Behind it lurks a menace too threatening to ignore. International, constitutional, and US statute laws are spurned. Independent regimes are toppled. War is policy. Throughout its history, America waged them at home and abroad. Countless millions died. Daily their numbers mount. America's no democracy. It's a killing machine, a police state, a rogue ...

Calm Before Greater Storm in Syria by Stephen Lendman Previous articles stressed Washington's longstanding regime change plans in Syria. Independent sovereign states aren't tolerated. Replacing them with pro-Western ones is policy. All means are used. They include punishing sanctions, color revolutions, violent coups, subversion, cyberwar, targeted assassinations, armed insurgencies, and war if other methods failed. So far, Syria and Iran withstood hostile Washington assaults. At issue is what's next? On April 12, Syria was largely calm. Both sides halted hostilities. For how long? Calm and stability defeat Washington's agenda. Advancing it depends on violence blamed on ...
Iran Nuclear Talks

Iran Nuclear Talks by Stephen Lendman On April 14 and 15, Istanbul will host so-called P5+1 countries. They include the five permanent Security Council members - America, Russia, China, Britain, and France - plus Germany. According to Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, Baghdad will host more talks at a mutually agreed on date. With Iran, they'll discuss the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. Holding talks at all should be challenged. Tehran's program is peaceful. It's entitled to develop it like dozens of other nations. They're not pressured to talk or halt legitimate activities. Why Iran? The issue's a red herring. The real one's regime ...

The standoff in the South China Sea between the naval forces of the Philippines and China is in danger of escalating, as the U.S. continues to watch anxiously. China has now sent a third ship to support its claim to the area known as Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines. Philippine warships attempting to arrest the crews of a Chinese fishing fleet that had entered the territory sparked the latest dispute between the two Asian countries. They were stopped from doing so by the arrival of two Chinese surveillance ships, which then ordered the Philippine warships to leave the area. They refused arguing that its Philippine territory and have since sent a second warship to the ...
Media Scoundrels Promote War

Media Scoundrels Promote War by Stephen Lendman Syria is target one, then Iran. The road to Tehran runs through Damascus. Western-backed insurgents can't match Assad's security forces. In 2011, Libyan killer gangs had air force support. Without NATO, they'd have been routed. Expect stepped up intervention in Syria. All signs suggest it. The April 10 deadline came and went. Assad began pulling back. Insurgent violence continues. He's obligated to confront it. Responsible leaders can do no less. Their people depend on it. If governments won't protect them, who will? Nonetheless, Assad's vilified for doing his job. Calls for greater intervention grow. Turkey wants ...
US Quietly Plans to Betray Afghan Pact on Night Raids

Obama, JSOC, and the CIA probably plan to continue to carry out night raids with no oversight Washington has relinquished control and final say over special operations night raids in Afghanistan to the Kabul government, but U.S. officials are quietly planning to ignore the agreement’s binding clauses. In order to agree on a security arrangement governing U.S. military presence after U.S. combat troops withdraw in 2014, Kabul has essentially forced the Obama administration to concede two vital sticking points. First, control of Afghan prisons needed to be ceded to the Kabul government, which happened in March. Second, the U.S. either needed to stop all night raids or, as a ...
Are we serious about talking with Tehran?

Are we serious about talking with Tehran? Posted By Stephen M. Walt Monday, April 9, 2012 - 10:04 AM Share For the life of me, I can't figure out what the Obama administration is thinking about Iran. And I can't tell if the administration is more confused than I am. Let me explain. The first part of the puzzle was a column by the Washington Post's David Ignatius last week, which reported that "President Obama has signaled Iran that the United States would accept an Iranian civilian nuclear program if Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei can back up his recent public claims that his nation 'will never pursue nuclear weapons.'" Ignatius' story was obviously based on ...

George Soros Targets Syria by Stephen Lendman Soros' Open Society Foundations pretend to be liberal. Their claimed mission is to "work to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens." In fact, Soros, like other corporate predators, doesn't tolerate democratic values. He's no populist. He supports everything that smells money. He's involved in grabbing all he can. He promotes marketplace sovereignty; deregulation; privatization of government services; ending popular entitlements, social spending, and affirmative action; prioritizing business friendly policies; class war; controlling electoral politics; supporting ...

Obama Justice Department indicts ex-CIA agent for exposing torture 7 April 2012 Thursday’s indictment of John Kiriakou for exposing CIA torture of detainees confirms yet again that the Obama administration is continuing and deepening the crimes carried out by the Bush White House. Kiriakou, a CIA agent for 14 years, is being prosecuted for speaking to two journalists about the waterboarding of Abu Zubaydah. In December 2007, he appeared in an ABC News interview, becoming the first CIA official to confirm the use of waterboarding of so-called “enemy combatants” and to describe the practice as torture. It is now known that Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times in the space of ...

Obama Wreaks Duplicity by Stephen Lendman Like most in Congress, he serves wealth and power alone. People needs don't matter. Rule of law principles are spurned. Peace is deplored. War is official policy. So are other duplicitous foreign policies for unchallenged global dominance. Imagine what's ahead in a second term, regardless of which party controls Congress. Both are in lockstep on issues mattering most. They include pursuing regime change in Syria and Iran. At the same time, Obama delivers mixed messages on Iran. Conciliatory comments follow baseless accusations and hawkishness, then more threats. In late March, he appealed directly to Iranians, saying there's ...

Galloway Won For Some Very Good Reasons Commentators who portray him as a self-serving demagogue are only showing their own biases By Patrick Cockburn April 08, 2012 "The Independent " - - The ferocity of the attacks on George Galloway by the British commentariat is one of the most revealing outcomes of his victory in the Bradford West by-election. News presenters saw no problem in conducting interviews with the newly elected MP that were largely a shower of insulting and unproven accusations. Columnists wrote thousands of shrill words warning readers that he and his victory were atypical and had no broader significance for the country. And, if his success did have any ...
Friends of Syria Subvert Peaceful Resolution

Friends of Syria Subvert Peaceful Resolution by Stephen Lendman Washington-backed so-called "Friends" won't tolerate resolving Syrian violence peacefully. How can they when America, rogue NATO partners, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other regional despots incited it, fund it, arm it, and continue it. The name of the game is regime change, not peace. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and current UN head Ban Ki-moon are active players. Annan's sham peace plan is cover to mask it. Both support imperial dominance. For a decade as Secretary-General, Annan violated his own charter mandate. Global wars raged throughout his tenure. He did nothing to stop them. He served ...

To protect freedom, US jurists must pardon terror suspects caught by entrapment

Since 9/11, the majority of criminal convictions in high-profile terror cases in the US relied on sting operations. In many, the FBI crossed the line into entrapment, luring penniless men and teenagers into sophisticated plots they never could have dreamed of on their own. Here’s an indecent question: Under what conditions might a husband cheat on his wife?Imagine if a major television network created a reality show designed to answer this question. Bringing together weeks of planning, heavy surveillance, psychological profiles of the target, and a cast of young, alluring undercover agents, the show would put unwitting husbands to the ultimate test of spousal loyalty. After being ...

Our Men in Iran? By Seymour M. Hersh April 06, 2012 "New Yorker" -- From the air, the terrain of the Department of Energy’s Nevada National Security Site, with its arid high plains and remote mountain peaks, has the look of northwest Iran. The site, some sixty-five miles northwest of Las Vegas, was once used for nuclear testing, and now includes a counterintelligence training facility and a private airport capable of handling Boeing 737 aircraft. It’s a restricted area, and inhospitable—in certain sections, the curious are warned that the site’s security personnel are authorized to use deadly force, if necessary, against intruders. It was here that the Joint ...

Afghan villagers told they would pay for bomb days ahead of massacre of 16 March 23, 2012 by POPEYE Filed under Afghanistan, Featured Stories Leave a Comment Tweet (THE AUSTRALIAN) Residents of an Afghan village near where an American soldier is alleged to have killed 16 civilians are convinced that the slayings were in retaliation for a roadside bomb attack on US forces in the same area a few days earlier. In accounts to The Associated Press and to Afghan government officials, the residents allege that US troops lined up men from the village of Mokhoyan against a wall after the bombing on either March 7 or 8, and told them they would pay a price for the attack.

US Belligerency Risks Global War by Stephen Lendman The business of America is war. Since WW II, permanent war for unchallenged global dominance became policy. The Pentagon calls it a "long war." Dick Cheney said it won't end in our lifetime. GHW Bush called it a "New World Order." Nations are ravaged one at a time or in multiples. Obama is America's latest warrior president. Many others preceded him. More than ever, today's threat is grave. A previous article addressed the unthinkable - the possibility of global nuclear war. Leaders risking it are deranged. Some experts believe it's inevitable. Washington maintains a nuclear first-strike policy. ...
