The current US wars against Afghanistan and Iraq are not even close to being lawful and are legal treason against the US. It's time for our men and women in the military and government to refuse all orders associated with our unlawful wars and preparation for an unlawful war with Iran over one gram of medical isotope worth $75,000 in 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel. www.examiner.com/x18425-L...-treasonous-lies-Now-what Click for Full Text!

Srebrenica fall linked to gay soldiers

A RETIRED US general today said Dutch UN troops defending Srebrenica in the Bosnian war failed to prevent the 1995 genocide partly because their ranks included openly gay soldiers. John Sheehan, a former NATO commander and senior Marine officer, made the remarks at a senate hearing where he argued against plans by US President Barack Obama to end a ban on allowing gays to serve openly in the US military. Gen Sheehan said that after the end of the Cold War, European militaries changed and concluded "there was no longer a need for an active combat capability". He said this "socialiSation" process "included open homosexuality" and led to "a focus on ...

Iran is assisting al Qaeda by facilitating links between senior terrorist leaders and affiliate groups, the commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East told Congress on Tuesday. Click for Full Text!
Poster Comment:Just one more hot, steaming pile of perpetual war horse-hockey. The possibility of Gen. Betrayus becoming our third straight "worst President in history"? Now that's real terror.

Supporting the War Instead of the Troops
Post Date: 2010-03-16 06:23:41 by Ada

Last week, Congress debated a resolution directing the President to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan no later than the end of this year. The Constitution gives the power to declare war to the Congress, so it is clearly appropriate for Congress to assert its voice on matters of armed conflict. In recent decades, however, Congress has defaulted on this most critical duty, essentially granting successive presidents the unilateral (and clearly unconstitutional) power to begin and end wars at will. This resolution was not expected to pass; however, the ensuing debate and floor vote served some very important purposes. First, it was important to finally have an actual floor debate on the ...
America's Secret Prisons

America's Secret Prisons - by Stephen Lendman On January 28 in TomDispatch.com, Anand Gopal headlined, "Night Raids, Hidden Detention Centers, the 'Black Jail,' and the Dogs of War in Afghanistan," recounting unreported US media stories about killings, abductions, detentions, interrogations, and torture in "a series of prisons on US military bases around the country." Bagram prison, for example, is "a facility with a notorious reputation for abusive behavior," including brutalizing torture and cold-blooded murder. Even worse is the "Black Jail," a facility consisting of individual windowless concrete cells with bright 24-hour lighting, ...
Rove Falsely Claims Bush Administration Never Said Iraqi Oil Revenue Would Help Pay For War

In his new book and in recent media appearances promoting it, former top Bush aide Karl Rove has been revising the history of the Iraq war, particularly regarding the issue of Saddam Hussien’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. Today on NBC’s Meet the Press, Rove continued with his Iraq war history revision campaign. Noting that the Bush administration had mishandled the management of the war, host Tom Brokaw mentioned that “the cost of the war skyrocketed almost from the beginning. There was not a sharing of the oil revenue that a lot of people had promised.” But Rove flatly denied that the Bush administration said Iraqi oil revenues would help pay for the war: ...

In this seventh year of the Iraq war, two movies about Iraq competed for top honors at the 2010 Oscars. One, compelling and popular beyond belief, was a morality tale condemning the warmongering greed of the corporate state, and allowing, as movies can, the good guys to win, in victory demonstrating kindness to the misguided thieves and killers. The other, equally compelling but less popular, was also a morality tale. One can become a war addict, fulfilled and functional at the edge of man-made oblivion, but dysfunctional, confused, and empty when faced with peaceful normality. Both movies were uniquely U.S.-centric – Avatar’s militaristic state corporatism drew an angry response ...

Survivors Reject US "Blood Money" The survivors of a NATO night raid against a house party in Afghanistan’s Paktia Province remain up in arms about the slaying of several of their family members, and say that they have rejected US “compensation” payments of $2,000 per person killed. “I don’t want money, I want justice,” noted Haji Sharabuddin, the head of the family. US forces killed five people, including three women, in the raid. One of the men killed was also a key member of local security forces. The killings have sparked more questions than most of the night raid civilian deaths in Afghanistan, primarily because NATO issued an initial ...

Evidence Mounts NATO Report Lied on Afghan Civilian Killings Rear Admiral Smith Admits No Evidence of Claimed 'Firefight' The February 12 night raid against a house party in Afghanistan’s Paktia Province remains shrouded in mystery, but NATO’s official story appears to be crumbling as even NATO officials concede that the claims made were not strictly true. NATO’s official statement claimed at the time that the raid on the home led to a “fire fight” against “several insurgents” who were killed, before NATO made a “gruesome discovery” of bound and gagged bodies in a nearby room. NATO is conceding now that all of the slain people were ...

General Calls Civilian Casualty Reports ‘Groundless’ American Forces Press Service ^ KABUL, March 12, 2010 – Reports of civilian casualties resulting from military operations this week in Afghanistan are “completely groundless,” a senior official of the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command said here today. On March 10, an international security force unit patrolling in southern Afghanistan came under small-arms fire from an insurgent position. The patrol returned fire and requested support from ISAF aircraft. Reports from the patrol, after they inspected the area, confirmed that one insurgent had been killed. The patrol also verified that no ...

Her finger still bears the ink of those who voted.(updated below - Update II) The New York Times' Tom Friedman, who did as much as any single individual to persuade large numbers of Democrats and "moderates" to support the invasion of Iraq, today writes: Former President George W. Bush’s gut instinct that this region craved and needed democracy was always right. It should have and could have been pursued with much better planning and execution. This war has been extraordinarily painful and costly. ...

The Kucinich resolution to bring the Afghan war to an end within a month and no later than year end, failed overwhelmingly in the House of Representatives after three hours of debate Wed. Top quote: Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Republican from the "Jewish" state of Florida: Let us show appreciation (to the troops) by voting no on this damaging resolution. Tatarewicz: Rep. Kennedy lamented that there were only two members of the Press Gallery present for this all important debate. Looks like the MSM "niggers" who went into a frenzy after 9/11 to push America into a war with Afghanistan, an enemy of Israel, are now all hiding in the woodpile. Click for Full Text!
Civics teacher urges treason charges against liars promoting war with Iran

With 5,000 American soldiers dead in wars based in known lies, 30,000 wounded, 100,000 on disability and a war cost of up to $50,000 per family, it's time to arrest for treason the liars promoting a war against Iran. These lies of a nuclear weapons program with zero evidence to support the claim and given the Iraq war lies is prima facie evidence of treason; demanding those with legal authority to arrest the liars to immediately halt the same descent we witnessed to war with Iraq. It's time for our men and women in the military and government to refuse all orders associated with our unlawful wars and preparations for unlawful war with Iran and stand with the American public who ...
One Month Of The Obama Killing Machine In Afghanistan

Let the numbers tell the story. The following presents a detailed summary and analysis of Afghan civilians killed directly – so-called impact deaths – by U.S/NATO forces in Afghanistan during a single month, February 2010. The Obama killing machine left 80-86 dead Afghan and Pashtun civilians. By contrast, the number in February 2009 was 50. The intent here is to set the record straight as regards Afghans killed by the U.S/NATO, and in so doing challenge the UNAMA to move beyond its “faith-based” counting. Regrettably, data put out by the UNAMA gets widely cited less for its validity (which cannot be fact-checked given the organization’s refusal to publish ...

Individuals in the upper level of the Pentagon and media polloi are beginning to commit a cardinal sin. They’re blurting the truth – sort of. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the military’s senior spin surgeon (his father was a Hollywood publicity agent), says that "Afghans are in the lead" of the Marjah offensive. But not everybody involved in writing the narrative is willing to tell a lie that big. New York Times journalist C.J. Chivers, a former Marine, was among the first mainstream media voices to shoot down claims the Afghan army was leading the operation. In a Feb. 20 article posted from Marjah, Chivers reported that Marines were ...
Mullen Wary of Israeli Attack on Iran

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, came home with sweaty palms from his mid-February visit to Israel. He has been worrying aloud that Israel will mousetrap the U.S. into war with Iran. This is of particular concern because Mullen has had considerable experience in putting the brakes on such Israeli plans in the past. This time, he appears convinced that the Israeli leaders did not take his warnings seriously – notwithstanding the unusually strong language he put into play. Upon arrival in Jerusalem on Feb. 14, Mullen wasted no time in making clear why he had come. He insisted publicly that an attack on Iran would be “a big, big, big problem for all of us, ...
House liberals force vote on pullout from Afghanistan

Liberals in the House, who have spent much of the past year complaining that other congressional Democrats and the White House are insufficiently progressive, will get a chance this week to vent about one of their biggest concerns: the war in Afghanistan. House leaders will allow three hours of formal debate, probably Wednesday, on an antiwar resolution written by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), one of the leading antiwar voices in Congress. The resolution, which has 16 co-sponsors, calls for the United States to remove all of its troops from Afghanistan in 30 days -- or by the end of the year, if it is determined that trying to do so in a month would be too dangerous. The resolution will ...

America’s Anti-Militarist Heritage by George C. Leef Posted May 25, 2009 Ain’t My America: The Long, Noble History of Antiwar Conservatism and Middle-American Anti-Imperialism by Bill Kauffman (Metropolitan Books, 2008); 284 pages, $25. Americans don’t have much historical memory anymore. That isn’t just because of the dumbing down of the educational system and the fact that most young people read very little on their own. It’s because most of what little they do hear about our history is colored by statist theology. But if you talk to some older Americans — people in their 70s and 80s — you will encounter a few who know some important things. First, ...
Officers: Pakistan arrests American-born al-Qaida (Ali Baba Goldstein)

KARACHI, Pakistan – The American-born spokesman for al-Qaida has been arrested by Pakistani intelligence officers in the southern city of Karachi, two officers and a government official said Sunday, the same day Adam Gadahn appeared in a video urging U.S. Muslims to attack their own country. The arrest of Gadahn is a major victory in the U.S.-led battle against al-Qaida and will be taken as a sign that Pakistan, criticized in the past for being an untrustworthy ally, is cooperating more fully with Washington. It follows the recent detentions of several Afghan Taliban commanders in Karachi, including the movement's No. 2 commander. Gadahn has appeared in more than half a dozen ...

California-born Adam Gadahn praised the shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, in a video. (CNN) -- Adam Gadahn, an American spokesman for al Qaeda, has been arrested in Pakistan, a senior Pakistani government official source told CNN. The official said Gadahn was arrested Sunday in Karachi. Several U.S. officials told CNN that they have no indication that Gadahn has been captured. News of the arrest came hours after Islamist Web sites posted video of Gadahn praising a November shooting rampage at the U.S. Army base in Fort Hood, Texas. On the video, Gadahn said the Army major charged with gunning down 13 people "lit a path" for other Muslim service members to follow. Gadahn has ...
