Your global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions effort is hurting Israel so much that panic-stricken propaganda bosses are casting about in desperation for something to hit back with… for example, the libelous press release which portrays yours truly and other Palestine freedom campaigners as promoters of a new movement boycotting Arab goods.

This crisis involved the largest ever number of veterans that have been affected by their service in the most Hazardous Toxic Soup of Environmental Exposures in any war.

I challenge the US Representatives and Senators to stand firm for Frank Buckles and to also pass a law that will in the future honor the last surving member of any war or conflict by having that member of the service to lay in the US Capitol just as any state funeral! It is the least you could do!

Is the modern Republican Party really “the party of Lincoln,” and responsible for freeing the slaves? I don’t think so. But the GOP regularly, routinely, and with a straight face makes that claim. One Republican recently confronted me and stated the following: "It was Republicans who beat Democrats in the Civil War, thus freeing the slaves. It was Democrats who started the KKK as its military wing to intimidate the (largely black) Republican party who were running the south after the war. Can a leopard change its spots?? Are the Democrats now the party FOR the black people after being against them for so long? So many of you are duped by the Devil's trickery. a few table scraps from massa's table and you run right back to his side. The Democrat is the racist."

Although the US has carried out two troop surges and has increased its force level to over 100,000 and total ISAF strength to 152,000, initiative is still in the hands of Taliban. Possibility of regaining initiative by US military through Kandahar operation has become remote. Taliban have become more aggressive and hardly a day passes without a raid, IED explosion or suicide bombing. In 2010, they inflicted 711 casualties upon ISAF, which is the highest since 2001. Their morale is high since prevalent symptoms have boosted their optimism. They are confident that war has practically been won and total victory is not far off. Other than the Generals, US-NATO soldiers are weary, fatigued, depressed and have no heart to continue facing hazards without any purposeful cause. American economy is not recovering due to expensive war.

Four hundred (400) United States Marines are with a carrier battle group and are immediately available to invade Libya, defeat conventional and irregular Libyan forces, install and interim government, ensure that essential services to the Libyan civilian infrastructure is repaired and reopened, provide assistance to thousands of refugees, reopen diplomatic missions and embassies, restore petroleum production and satisfy the wants, demands, desires, criticism(s) and ranting of local, national and international media. Note a bad days work huh. Jarheads are good – knew all along they were as good as the country expects of them.

It has been nearly impossible to comprehend where these sudden concerns about the deficit came from. Why? Because the people doing the most complaining were in charge when it all happened.

The original report by the National Institute of Standards, describing the destruction of the World Trade Center as resulting from heat from jet fuel fires, a relatively low-temperature source of short duration, weakening hundreds of tons of steel, even turning much of it molten as films show, is simply silly.

What the little media coverage the heckling of a Wounded Iraq Vet who advocated bring ROTC back to the campus of Columbia University got from a few anti-ROTC protesters. Press coverage has been political and ideological in view points. This article strives to give a balanced two sided view.

As I finish this article, a sequel to my earlier one, it is late Monday, February 21st, and I am heading out of Bahrain. By the time I arrive in the West, the impact of the Tuesday deadline – the demands of the protestors and the response from the royal family will be unfolding.

On Tuesday, March 1, Saudi Arabian government officials denied widespread media reports that 30 Saudi tanks had been seen entering Bahrain on Monday night over the 25-km King Fahd Causeway, which links Saudi to Bahrain. The news had reportedly affected global energy prices, sending the price of brent crude up nearly $1 per barrel to $112.80.

Some southern Arizonans are joining forces to push for the creation of a 51st state carved out of Pima County. The new state would be called Baja Arizona.

As we watch the Libyans in their desperate and bloody fight for freedom, the world watches America. Our President and our country are being judged by the opinion of people and nations round the globe. Let us not fail to respond with the honor of freedom loving men and women. Now is the time for President Obama to show bold leadership in the little people's quest for democracy. With one masterful stroke, he has the opportunity to positively change the way the Eastern world views the United States of America.

Previous policy concerning military members who served near the DMZ between North and South Korea was very limiting. The only thing clear about it was the dates under which a veteran could claim they were exposed.

Buckles, the last surviving American veteran of World War I, and in remembrance of the generation of American veterans of World War I, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, that, on the day of his interment, the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset on such day.
