ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A senior U.S. military official has acknowledged that American forces conducted a raid inside Pakistan, in the first known foreign ground assault in the country against a suspected Taliban haven. The Pakistan government condemned an incursion that it said killed at least 15 people. The American official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of cross border operations, told The Associated Press that the raid occurred on Pakistani soil about one mile from the Afghan border. The official didn't provide any other details. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry protested saying U.S.-led troops flew in from Afghanistan for the attack on a ...

General David Petraeus, the top US commander in Iraq, said declining violence in Baghdad raised the possibility that American combat troops could leave the capital by next summer. Asked in an interview with the Financial Times whether it was feasible that US combat forces could leave Baghdad by July, he said: “Conditions permitting, yeah.” His comments come as the US and Iraq hammer out the final details of a long-term security agreement that reportedly outlines a potential timeline for US combat troops to leave Iraqi cities by next summer, and the country by 2011. “The number of attacks in Baghdad lately has been, gosh, I think it’s probably less than five [a day] on ...

Thursday, August 28, 2008The War on Terror Debunked, America Tries to Raise a Dead Enemy from the Grave The war on terror has been thoroughly debunked (see this and this).So the military-industrial complex is trying to find another enemy sufficiently scary to justify trillions of dollars in defense spending and the continuation of the perpetual state of war.Our former enemy - the Soviet Union - has now broken up. Russia's economy pales in comparison to that of the former USSR. Russia is run more by billionaires and the Russian Mob than by the Communists. And Russia harbors very few imperial ambitions.But that isn't stopping people like Dick Cheney from trying to raise the "Red ...

George Washington's Blog (Click Here for Part 1) Tuesday, September 2, 2008Provocation at Protests Is A Type of False Flag Terror When agents provocateur commit violence or destroy property at peaceful protests, they are carrying out false flag terrorism.Wikipedia defines false flag terror as follows:False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own.

The Georgia Crisis Turns Dangerousby Eric Margolis PARIS – Pipsqueak Georgia’s harebrained and disastrous attack on tiny South Ossetia has produced a full-blown crisis pitting the US and NATO against Russia. In an act fraught with danger, US and NATO warships are delivering supplies to Georgia, watched by Russian men of war. The US Congress may soon vote $1 billion for America’s embattled Georgian satellite. The western powers have resorted to fierce Cold War rhetoric. They are playing with fire. Russia has some 6,600 strategic nuclear weapons, mostly aimed at North America and Europe. Besides, the US, which invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, and whose air force just killed 90 ...
What's Past is Prologue -- The War Will Go On

01.09/08 "Counterpunch" -- - In the late summer of 2008, as the American political parties convene to produce a new president, it seems clear that Americans will continue to kill and die -- and suffer and inflict terrible injuries -- in the U.S. war in the Middle East, regardless of who is elected president, well into the next administration and beyond. The war is not limited to Iraq. The Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, in March of 2003, was preceded by their invasion of Afghanistan, in October of 2001. In the spring and summer of 2008, more Americans have been killed each month in Afghanistan than in the on-going war in Iraq. Furthermore, there are undoubtedly ...

01/09/08 -- " Jerusalem Post " --- The Dutch intelligence service, the AIVD, has called off an operation aimed at infiltrating and sabotaging Iran's weapons industry due to an assessment that a US attack on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program is imminent, according to a report in the country's De Telegraaf newspaper on Friday. The report claimed that the Dutch operation had been "extremely successful," and had been stopped because the US military was planning to hit targets that were "connected with the Dutch espionage action." The impending air-strike on Iran was to be carried out by unmanned aircraft "within weeks," the report ...

Iraq War Over? We Won? James Joyner Tuesday, July 15, 2008 Michael Yon says that we’ve won the war in Iraq and all that remains is clean-up. The war continues to abate in Iraq. Violence is still present, but, of course, Iraq was a relatively violent place long before Coalition forces moved in. I would go so far as to say that barring any major and unexpected developments (like an Israeli air strike on Iran and the retaliations that would follow), a fair-minded person could say with reasonable certainty that the war has ended. A new and better nation is growing legs. What’s left is messy politics that likely will be punctuated by low-level violence and the occasional ...

Stoking Tensions, Risking Confrontation: A High Stakes US Gamble with Russia - by Stephen Lendman Prior to entering WW II, US strategists had a clear aim in mind at its conclusion - to hold unchallengeable power in a new post-war global system: military, economic and political in a "Grand Area" encompassing the West and Far East. Essentially most parts outside the communist bloc and exploiting it under disarming rhetoric like being "selfless advocates of freedom for colonial peoples (and an) enemy of imperialism." Championing "world peace (also) through multinational control." Today, the facade is gone, and no pretense remains about much "grander" ...

A Musing Putin Suggests U.S. Role in Conflict By ANDREW E. KRAMER Published: August 28, 2008 MOSCOW — Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian prime minister, mused in a televised interview on Thursday that the United States might have helped provoke the war between Russia and Georgia to benefit one of the candidates in the American presidential election. He did not specify which candidate. But officials here have increasingly bristled at the criticism of the Kremlin by Sen. John McCain, who has repeatedly said he wants to kick Russia out of the Group of Eight industrialized nations and generally advocates a harder line with Russia. In an interview with CNN in the Black Sea beach resort town ...

FORT JACKSON, S.C. (AP) - Austin Swarner left high school to care for his mother while she fought a losing battle with cancer. Tony Brown wanted to begin supporting himself and left two classes shy of a diploma. Haelee Holden got tired of trying to make it through school while flipping burgers until 1 a.m. But the U.S. Army, eager to fill its ranks amid wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, doesn't see them as dropouts. They are recruits who only need a GED before they're ready to begin basic training. And so, the Army formally opens its first prep school Wednesday. "It's academic immersion," explained Col. Jeffrey Sanderson, chief of staff at Fort Jackson, home of the ...

Saakashvili’s [weak] Statement on Russia’ Action

Saakashvili’s Statement on Russia’ Action Published: August 26, 2008 Here is the written statement by the president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, concerning Russia’s recognition of the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent of Georgia, as released in English by his office on Tuesday. The Russian Federation’s actions are an attempt to militarily annex a sovereign state — the nation of Georgia. This is in direct violation of international law and imperils the international security framework that has ensured peace, stability and order for the past 60 years. Russia’s decision today confirms that its invasion of Georgia was part of a ...

Why I had to recognise Georgia’s breakaway regions By Dmitry Medvedev Published: August 26 2008 18:48 | Last updated: August 26 2008 18:48 On Tuesday Russia recognised the independence of the territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It was not a step taken lightly, or without full consideration of the consequences. But all possible outcomes had to be weighed against a sober understanding of the situation – the histories of the Abkhaz and Ossetian peoples, their freely expressed desire for independence, the tragic events of the past weeks and international precedents for such a move. Not all of the world’s nations have their own statehood. Many exist happily within ...

The foreign ministry in Pyongyang said it would consider rebuilding its reactor and cooling tower in Yongbyon because the US had not lived up to a promise to remove it from a list of nations that sponsor terrorism. In a statement carried by the Korea Central News Agency, the ministry said the US was insisting on extra inspections that would infringe ...

Acting a day after Russia’s Parliament unanimously supported the enclaves’ request to secede, President Dmitri A.

Iraq demands deadline for pullout of all US troops

BAGHDAD (AP) - Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Monday no security agreement with the United States could be reached unless it included a "specific deadline" for the withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq. Last week, U.S. and Iraqi officials said the two sides had agreed tentatively to a schedule which included a broad pullout of combat forces by the end of 2011 with a residual U.S. force remaining behind to continue training and advising the Iraqi security forces. But al-Maliki's remarks Monday suggested that the Iraqi government is still not satisfied with that arrangement. An aide to the prime minister said Monday that Iraq remained adamant that the last American ...
On Iraq, Biden Is Worse than McCain

Barack Obama may be doing the one thing that might have seemed impossible: he's picking a running mate whose ideas about Iraq are even worse than, and stupider than, John McCain's. Obama, whose mushy Iraq plan excites no one, is marrying his own's flawed ideas -- which mostly revolve around beefing up US forces in Afghanistan and unilaterally attacking Pakistan -- with Biden's discredited notion of partitioning Iraq into three squabbling mini-states. Indeed, last year it was the passage by the US Senate of a resolution in favor of Biden's dangerously misguided ideas that sparked an outburst of Iraqi nationalism. More than the Blackwater killings, more than US efforts ...

Reinventing the Evil Empire - by Stephen Lendman For the West, everything changed but stayed the same, hard-wired and in place. Things just lay dormant in the shadows during the Yeltsin years, certain to reemerge once a more resolute Russian leader took over. If not Vladimir Putin, someone else little different. Russia is back, proud and reassertive, and not about to roll over for America. Especially in Eurasia. For Washington, it's back to the future, the new Cold War, and reinventing the Evil Empire, but this time for greater stakes and with much larger threats to world peace. Conservatives lost their influence. Neocons are weakened but still dominant. The Israeli Lobby and ...

A Visit to a South Ossetian Village Illuminates Georgians' Views By ANDREW OSBORN August 23, 2008; Page A6 KHETAGUROVO, Georgia -- Grigory Mamiyev says his father, Pyotr, was standing in front of his two-story house in this tiny Ossetian village when shrapnel from a Georgian shell tore part of his head off, killing him instantly. His father's blood still stains the sidewalk outside. Locals say an elderly woman named Tamara Mamiyeva (no relation) was burnt to death when another Georgian shell ignited a fierce fire in her home, opposite the Mamiyevs'. The squat brick house where she lived is now a blackened husk. On the next street in this sleepy village of 150 houses, Eteri ...
