KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban militants dug a lengthy tunnel underground and into the main jail in Kandahar city and whisked out more than 450 prisoners, most of whom were Taliban fighters, officials and insurgents said Monday. The massive overnight jailbreak in Afghanistan's second-largest city underscores the Afghan government's continuing weakness in the south despite an influx of international troops, funding and advisers. Kandahar city, in particular, has been a focus of the international effort to establish a strong Afghan government presence in former Taliban strongholds. The 1,200-inmate Sarposa Prison has been part of that plan. The facility has undergone ...

Christianity and War by Laurence M. Vance I would like to speak to you tonight about Christianity and War. I intend to make some harsh statements about religious people, perhaps even some provocative and incendiary statements. People that don’t know anything about me might even be inclined to think that my remarks are an attack on Christianity. True, I have spoken or written negative things about every religion, sect, and Christian denomination—including my own, but I speak to you as a Bible-believing Christian, and a theological and cultural conservative. I will put my conservative Christian credentials up against anyone. I think I know Christianity and Christians as well as ...
What Makes a Great President Great?

George W. Bush only ranks 34th in the recent surveys of the greatest Presidents of the United States. Since there are but 40-43 of these magnificents in total, Dubya is way down there. Why? What is greatness in a U.S. President, hereafter simply called a President? There is no scientific definition, although the more scholarly polls have criteria of greatness. These need not detain us. The polls themselves tell us what Americans think makes a great President, and it is against the implicit criterion that we observe in the data that we discover that Dubya’s low standing is an anomaly. The data on the greats that I use are from Wikipedia. The right hand column has aggregate rankings over ...
Al Jazeera's War on Gaddafi

Al Jazeera's War on Gaddafi - by Stephen Lendman Based on its recent Libyan and Gulf states reporting (or lack thereof), Qatar-based Al Jazeera's credibility appears extremely compromised. A previous article said the following: Overall, its Libya misreporting has been deceitful, functioning more as a propaganda arm for Washington, NATO and insurgents, indistinguishable from US and other western media, representing imperial conquest, colonization, and pillaging of another non-belligerent country. In late March, moreover, Front Page writer Mohammed al-Kibsi accused Al Jazeera of airing old Iraqi prisoner abuse video, broadcast by Al-Arabiya in 2007, in fabricating news about ...

Treason is loyalty to any government besides the one that you live under. Globalists are traitors inasmuch as they are looting this country and transferring its wealth to the Satanic Psychopaths. The Council on Foreign Relations is the leadership council designated by the Illuminati to bring about the one-world Luciferian Government in the Western Hemisphere. In the words of an ultimate insider, who was referred to as Bill Clinton's favorite professor while at Georgetown University: "Carroll Quigley, Professor of History at Georgetown University, stated, "The Council of Foreign Relations is the American Branch of a society which originated in England and believes national ...

World » Africa 19.04.2011 Libya and the Law. 44093.jpegSince the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, Mankind has been trying to forge something called international law and binding agreements covering the respect for internationally recognised precepts of sovereignty. This is why, after the outrage of Iraq, it is important to respect the UN Resolutions regarding Libya. Either the world has two weights and two measures governing international crisis management, in which case we may conclude that international law does not exist, or else it comes together around a collective legal entity - as indeed it did when the United Nations Charter was set up and signed in 1945. UN Security Council ...

U.S. President Barack Obama has approved the use of armed Predator drones in Libya, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.
Gates told CNN the unmanned Predators would allow for "some precision capability" against the forces of longtime Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, and will offer a "modest contribution" to NATO efforts to support Libyan rebels.
NATO, meanwhile, has signaled it may ramp up air strikes on ...
'I’d Rather Fight Them Over There Than Here'

'I’d Rather Fight Them Over There Than Here'by Michael S. Rozeff Recently by Michael S. Rozeff: The U.S. Government Must Go! "I’d rather fight them over there than here." This is one of those sayings designed to garner the support of Americans for the government’s 21st century wars. Let’s see what’s wrong with this slogan, which, on the surface, sounds plausible.. In the runup to the U.S. attack on Iraq in March of 2003, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice kept repeating "weapons of mass destruction." This was to arouse your fears and short-circuit your rational thought. To demonize Saddam Hussein and link him to 9/11, they spoke of his ...

How Will the Empire End?by Anthony Gregory, Posted April 20, 2011 Dismantling the Empire: America’s Last Best Hope by Chalmers Johnson (New York: Metropolitan Books, 2010); 212 pages. Most Americans would very likely deny that their government is a global empire, horribly destructive to national security, liberty, and wealth. But whatever we call this U.S. system of ubiquitous military bases, satellite regimes throughout the world, ever-growing “defense” budgets, and an ever-expansive international presence in military hardware and personnel, it is probably even more controversial to say that the whole apparatus cannot be sustained forever and that the pressing ...
Mission Creep in Libya

Mission Creep in Libya - by Stephen Lendman Escalated intervention keeps incrementally building toward sending combat troops against Gaddafi, French and UK leaders signaling what may, in fact, have been planned all along, perhaps including US marines. More on that below. On April 16, New York Times writer Rod Nordland admitted what's already known headlining, "Libyan Rebels Say They're Being Sent Weapons," saying: Interviewed by Al Arabiya on Saturday, rebel military leader General Abdel Gattah Younas said "his forces had received weapons supplies from unidentified nations that supported their uprising." National Transitional Council spokesman Mustafa Gheriani ...
The Cost of Combat Stress: a Billion Dollars a Year

In a war, death comes in many forms: jury-rigged bombs, sleek fighter jets, assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades. But a stealthier killer lingers long after the fighting is done, in the psychological toll that combat exacts. More than 6,000 veterans take their own lives every year — about 20 percent of the 30,000 American suicides annually. In an effort to quantify the psychological cost of war, a recent report from the National Bureau of Economic Research has come up with the magic numbers. They estimate that lower-bound costs of mental health problems from the global war on terror are between $750 million and $1.35 billion annually. Despite trying everything from portable ...
Libya: Abdul Ati al-Obeidi warns UK plan may worsen war

Libya's foreign minister says a British plan to send a military team to advise rebels fighting Col Gaddafi would harm chances of peace in the country. A UK military presence in rebel-held Benghazi would "prolong" fighting, Abdul Ati al-Obeidi told the BBC. UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said the move complied with a UN resolution to protect civilians in Libya, which forbids foreign occupation forces. The team is set to provide logistics and intelligence training in Benghazi. The BBC understands about 10 UK officers and a similar number from France will be despatched on the mission. 'A step backwards' Libya is embroiled in a two-month uprising by rebels based ...
US / Israeli governments behind Libyan crisis.

The United States government has been working since February 2011 to create so much strife in Libya that the UN would be forced into sanctioning a US backed military intervention. Both the US and Israel were fermenting a fake revolution with well armed foreign mercenaries. The CIA/Mossad mercenaries and US special forces have been on the ground in Libya since Feb. 24th 2011. The mercenaries that the US claims have been ordered by Gaddafi to attack and murder Libyan protesters and civilians are actually Israeli paid mercenaries taking their orders from the Israeli Mossad security firm CST Global. The people the US claims are Libyan rebels are actually CIA mercenaries. It is for this ...

West coalition of barbaric savages supports savage, brutal terrorist murderers Since the 1990s in particular, and even before, the world has been slipping into a New Dark Ages, a time of lawlessness, barbarism, mass genocide and imperialism. As we find ourselves in the year 2011, there is a fork in the road. Either the world will slip into total barbaric savagery and darkness or it will choose truth and peace. More people are waking up, but is it too little, too late? Never before has the term Evil Empire been more appropriate. From the Greek play, Quem deus vult perdere, dementat prius--the saying, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." There is no better display ...

What Next in Libya? - by Stephen Lendman So far, weeks of conflict produced more stalemate than resolution, policy disagreement among NATO partners, and hawkish US broadsheets like The New York Times and Washington Post calling for escalated conflict to oust Gaddafi. In its April 14 editorial headlined, "Stop the Blame Game," The Times called for stepped up bombing, arming so-called rebels, and saying, "No political settlement in which the dictator remains in place will work. The West and its partners must be ready to maintain political, economic and military pressure until (he's) gone." On April 16, a Washington Post editorial headlined, "The Libya ...
From Waco to Libya: 18 Years of Humanitarian Mass Murder

"The Davidian cult in Waco was dealt with by armored vehicles," remarked Muammar Gaddafi in February, defending his own crackdowns in light of the U.S. government’s. April 19 marks eighteen years since the end of the Waco siege and exactly one month since Obama began bombing Libya. Now that the federal government is again shedding blood in the name of humanitarianism, we might reflect on how it obtains legitimacy for its most brazen acts of violence. Long ago, when governments slaughtered the enemy merely for being different and thus subhuman or for occupying desired territory, such crude rationales satisfied the states’ agents and subjects. The modern democratic state, ...

You might enjoy this from Col D. G. Swinford, USMC, Ret and history buff. You would really have to dig deep to get this kind of ringside seat to history: 1. The first German serviceman killed in WW II was killed by the Japanese (China, 1937), the first American serviceman killed was killed by the Russians (Finland 1940); highest ranking American killed was Lt Gen Lesley McNair, killed by the US Army Air Corps. So much for allies. 2. The youngest US serviceman was 12 year old Calvin Graham, USN. He was wounded and given a Dishonorable Discharge for lying about his age. His benefits were later restored by act of Congress. 3. At the time of Pearl Harbor, the top US Navy command was called ...

Arab Spring Yet to Bloom - by Stephen Lendman Despite months of heroic Middle East/North African uprisings in over a dozen countries from Morocco to Syria to Oman, none so far achieved changed, suggesting months, perhaps years, of sustained struggles lie ahead. Media commentators first used term Arab Spring in March 2005 to suggest a beneficial Iraq war spinoff, what, of course, never happened nor could it, given Washington's intent to prevent any emerging democracies. However, it partly succeeded in Lebanon after Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri's February 14, 2005 assassination. Afterwards, "Cedar Revolution" anger erupted, ending Syria's occupation, reducing, but not ...

Libya's Great Man-Made River - by Stephen Lendman A previous article explained that America's led NATO war on Libya was long-planned. All military interventions require months of preparation, including: -- strategy and conflict objectives; -- enlisting coalition partners; -- selecting targets; -- promoting political and public support; -- deploying troops; -- in Libya, recruiting, funding, and arming so-called rebels; and -- post-conflict imperial plans. Washington wants one despot replaced with another, a useful puppet to salute and obey orders, not independent-minded ones like Gaddafi who went along most often but not always on all issues, some major enough to want him ...

US Navy's Laser Test Could Put Heat on Pirates April 13, 2011 A ship-based laser tested by the Navy's research arm could put the heat on Somali pirates. The Navy for the first time last week successfully tested a solid-state high-energy laser from a ship. The beam, which was aimed at a boat moving through turbulent Pacific Ocean waters, set the target's engine on fire. The Office of Naval Research says the laser traveled over "miles, not yards." For now, the test is a proof of concept, and it's not yet known when it might be deployed as a weapon. The baseball-sized laser beam, though, could be used to stop small crafts from approaching naval ships. It could ...

Police State Terror in Bahrain - by Stephen Lendman Last summer sporadic protests began. By mid-February, major ones erupted. Demonstrators held firm against King Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa's regime. Repression and several deaths were reported from live fire. Anti-government protesters occupied Manama's Pearl Roundabout, Bahrain's equivalent of Cairo's Tahrir Square. They demanded democratic elections, ending sectarian discrimination favoring Sunnis over Shias, equitable distribution of the country's oil wealth, and resignation of the king's uncle, Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa, prime minister since 1971. They also want political prisoners released and ...
