People & Power - America's Dangerous Game Video By Aljazeera This film reveals the full scale of Washington's covert war in Yemen and asks: Is the US creating more enemies than it can capture or kill? March 01, 2012 "Al Jazeera" -- Last year, the Obama administration celebrated the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, a leading figure in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), as the latest military victory in its new counter-terrorism strategy focused on covert kill/capture operations. In the US, the al-Awlaki strike looked like a clear tactical victory against AQAP, which Washington now considers its most dangerous enemy in the 'war on terror'. But from a ...
Another Bogus Argument for War with Iran

Another Bogus Argument for War with Iran By Stephen M. Walt March 01, 2012 "FP" -- You know a case for war is weak when its advocates have to marshal blatant untruths in order to convince people that their advice should be followed. Exhibit A is today's alarmist op-ed in the New York Times, in which former IDF general Amos Yadlin argues for a preventive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. He recites the by-now familiar arguments for an attack, and makes it clear that he thinks Obama should make an "ironclad" pledge to do it if Iran doesn't cease its nuclear activities. But the big historical howler comes in the middle of the piece, where he attempts ...

What Nasty Surprises Await Our Warmongers In The Gulf? 87 No more sights like this, please... the price our young men pay for the vanity and misguided ambition of a foolish government. If Hague, Hammond and Cameron love Israel so much let them and the regime’s other admirers don uniform and flak-jacket and go play battleships in the Gulf’s “bathtub” themselves.

When Military Leaders Go Antiwar

You know, I don’t give military officials enough credit sometimes. NIAC reports on a CSIS panel last week, quoting former military officials on whether or not to attack Iran: “We are reaching this crescendo of talk – just constant – war, war, war,” said former CENTCOM Commander, Admiral William J. Fallon. ”It’s almost like the old movie, the black and white, beating the drum, and the galley slaves. And the chant goes on. Certainly not very helpful at all.” Fallon spoke on a panel hosted by CSIS along with former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General James Cartwright last week. The panelists were in firm agreement that a military ...
Tucker Carlson & the sick mentality of US imperialists

Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson recently expressed his thoughts on television that Iran ‘deserves to be annihilated’ because ‘they are lunatics’ and ‘evil.’ Presumably ‘they’ are the 76 million people of the very diverse and ancient civilisation that Mr Carlson wants to see annihilated. In addition to his vicious attitude towards the people of Iran, Mr Carlson expressed a very strange understanding of the world. He justified attacking Iran by saying, ‘I think we are the only country with the moral authority sufficient to do that – the only country that doesn’t seek hegemony in the world.’ His only expressed concerns about ...

Planned Regime Change in Syria by Stephen Lendman Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and now Syria had peace and calm until Washington intervened belligerently. Strategies and tactics vary. Objectives are consistent. They involve replacing independent regimes with pro-Western ones by any means, including war. Three unwinnable ones rage. Nonetheless, Obama plans more. Syria's target one. For the past year, US- instigated violence ravaged parts of the country. Thousands have been killed, many others injured. Syria's gripped by fear. Heavily armed killer gangs rage out of control, and direct foreign intervention looms. More on that below. Assad's wrongly blamed. The blame game targets ...
Facts Are Powerless in the Hands of War Hawks on Iran

I wrote recently about how even the mainstream media is coming around to reporting the consensus within the U.S. intelligence community, that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons and has demonstrated no intention of doing so. For example, the New York Times ran a front page story on Saturday entitled “U.S. Agencies See No Move by Iran to Build a Bomb.” Another in the Los Angeles Times last Thursday similarly headlined, “U.S. does not believe Iran is trying to build nuclear bomb.” Even though most of the mainstream media continues to hype threat inflation on Iran and give voice to war hawks, these types of articles are notable. The fact that U.S. intelligence agencies ...

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A military helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan, killing 31 U.S. special operation troops, most of them from the elite Navy SEALs unit that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, along with seven Afghan commandos. It was the deadliest single incident for American forces in the decade-long war. The Taliban claimed they downed the helicopter with rocket fire while it was taking part in a raid on a house where insurgents were gathered in the province of Wardak late Friday. It said wreckage of the craft was strewn at the scene. A senior U.S. administration official in Washington said the craft was apparently shot down by insurgents. The official spoke ...

Debunking the Spurious Iranian Nuclear Threat by Stephen Lendman Previous articles debunked claims of Iran's alleged nuclear threat. For months, major media scoundrels regurgitated official lies. Yet at least since 2007, America's annual intelligence assessment found none. Media reports ignored it. Suddenly old news is new news. Quelle surprise! It's now headlined. More on that below, and a review of past intelligence assessments. Previous articles explained them. Why the change? Iran faces frequent false accusations. In recent months alone, they include the fake US Saudi assassination plot, being the world's leading sponsor of terror, targeting Israeli officials in ...

Angelina Jolie Conscripted To Sell Genocidal ‘Humanitarian Intervention’ War Doctrine

Angelina Jolie, Goodwill Ambassador to the UN and member of CFR, is now using her profile to promote NATO’s genocidal ‘humanitarian intervention’ war doctrine. In an interview with the Balkans branch of Al Jazeera (NATO’s ‘Ministry of Truth’), Jolie (whose father has been a staunch defender of George W. Bush and who also visited Israel to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Nakba) promotes her new film ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’, a pro-war propaganda set-piece centred around the ‘humanitarian intervention’. Set in Sarajevo, Jolie’s directorial debut aims to justify NATO’s brutal butchery in Bosnia during the 1990s, and ...

Koran Burning: Dehumanizing Muslims by Stephen Lendman Despite constitutionally guaranteed religious freedom, America consistently violates fundamental rights, including respecting all faiths equally. More than other ethnic/religious groups, Western discourse portrays Muslim/Arabs stereotypically as culturally inferior, dirty, lecherous, untrustworthy, religiously fanatical, and violent. In his book, "Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People," Jack Shaheen explained how they've been defamed and vilified throughout decades of cinematic history. From silent films to recent ones, they encourage prejudicial attitudes, and reinforce notions of Western values, ...

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the Interior Ministry attack, saying it was retaliation for the Quran burnings, after the U.S. officers — a lieutenant colonel and a major — were found dead on the floor of an office that only people who know a ...

Top 10 Reasons to Attack Iran Now: 10) Interest rates are at all time low, best time to finance a new war. 9) The US military needs to keep our youth gainfully employed, since we outsourced our jobs to China. 8) Iran has blocked the sale of Persian rugs as a result Chinese counterfeits have flooded the markets. 7) The USA must find a safe place to dispose of 100,000 old DU shells since Iraq has stored all they could. 6) Japan has proved that nuclear energy is totally unsafe, so we cannot allow another Fukushima! 5) We must not postpone the inevitable since the road to hell is short. 4) The Iranians did 911 it wasn’t Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, or 19 Saudis! 3) Israel ...

Spoiling for War on Syria by Stephen Lendman Nearly a year ago, Western-backed insurgent violence erupted. Heavily armed foreign fighters supplemented internal ones. Al Qaeda's very much involved. Russian and Chinese peace initiatives are spurned. Washington, rogue NATO partners, and pro-Western regional allies want conflict. Reports suggest Jordan's hosting 40,000 heavily armed insurgents along Syria's southern border ready to intervene. Former Libyan Al Qaeda commander Abdelhakim Belhadj commands nearly half of them. Iraqi fighters are massed to Syria's east, ready to join them. So are so-called Free Syrian Army insurgents north in Turkey. Perhaps escalated violence ...

Cut Special Forces Funding Dear Supporter, They are squads, and their product is death. The U.S. military calls them Special Forces. Others may see them as “death squads.” We spend $10.5 billion per year on them, and they operate in dozens of countries. Which countries? That's none of our business. Tell Congress and the President that it IS our business, and that we want military funding cut and “special” forces placed under democratic control. Special Forces operate outside of any declaration of war, authorization to use force, or standard of international or domestic law. They don't ask permission from us or our Congress. Now, the head of U.S. Special ...

Irresponsible Anti-Iranian Fear-Mongering by Stephen Lendman Irresponsible anti-Iranian political and pack journalism rhetoric sound ominously like spurious Iraqi WMD threats in the run-up to the 2003 war. In his January State of the Union address, Obama said: "Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal." At the same time, Netanyahu told Israel's Knesset: "Only a combination of crippling sanctions and putting all the options on the table can make Iran stop" its nuclear program. Republican presidential aspirants also use the issue irresponsibly. Mitt ...
