Editor's note: The Al Qaeda forces defeated in the first major outing for the new Iraqi army are, in actuality, controlled by the individuals that Senator John McCain met with this week. One might ask why an American legislator, a senior member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee,

. . . it looks like the politicians in the US are using the US military and tax payers to carry out the Biblical threat to Gentiles found in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament at Isaiah 60:12.

I did not bend to Jewish pressure but so many in ‘power positions’ are willing handmaiden to Jewish interests.

The proposed moves, as outlined below and confirmed through DEBKA, would require the United States to return to “Bush era unilateralism,” moves unlikely if President Obama, Secretaries Kerry and Hagel and JCOS Chief, General Martin Dempsey were still alive, despite wild conspiratorial claims quoted below."

Geography beats politics; well, almost always. One could even say that money beats politics; but, these two are too linked for this statement to make much sense. Since the opening statement is almost always true, let's begin with an odd geographical feature named the Beit Shean Valley.

This week, the Guardian released the feature film, James Steele, America's Mystery Man in Iraq.

Most of you know I was the chief U.S Asset covering Iraq at the United Nations, who got arrested on the Patriot Act, locked up on Carswell Air Force Base and threatened with forcible drugging when the Bush cabal decided to blame Pre-War Intelligence for their catastrophic decision to go to War.

Was Iraq War a Global Business Deal Gone Bad? Could Saddam Hussein have been a Founding Father Hero of a Modern Democratic Iraq? Was this an historic missed opportunity.

Israeli-first American pundits wield too much power. The leader of these journalist war hawks is William Kristol.

If one is to look at facts on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan one can see the biggest international failures and fraud in US history. Not only did the military failed big time but the “rebuilding” of Iraq and Afghanistan was a total disaster.

The overly powerful war-mongering Israeli lobby organization, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, will soon hold its annual policy conference in which it determines what position the US politicians from both parties who live in fear of AIPAC will take on US Middle East foreign policy.

- Saudi Arabia and Qatar, if they cannot have all of Iraq back, they are hell-bent on taking part of it for now.

Iraq, on the first anniversary of US withdrawal, is struggling to cope with, not merely a raging sectarian crisis between the Shia-led Central Government (CG) and an increasingly resentful Sunni-minority, but more alarmingly an ethnic crisis with a heavily armed and increasingly defiant Kurdish Regional Government (KRG).

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will be joined by The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and other veterans’ organizations at a news conference today to oppose cuts in benefits for disabled veterans and their survivors.

In gasoline/diesel-powered vehicles, most of the fuel's energy , 70 – 72%, is lost within the engine primarily as heat.

Nobody likes to be played for a fool. Especially when being played for a fool you're risking life and limb, not to mention killing and wounding other people.

"I thought Iraq was a United States’ client and would buy American, and if not, NATO weapons. This is the beginning of the end."

Four joint hosts of an MSNBC programme called Cycle decided to open a Pandora's Box and discuss some of America's problems in the Middle East.

Iran’s former ambassador to Baghdad Hassan Kazemi Qomi says Iraq inspected a Syria-bound Iranian cargo plane upon the illegal request of the US. In an interview with ISNA News Agency on Wednesday, the former Iranian envoy said that “This is not an issue between Iran and Iraq. It is rather put forward by the US given its hostile policies toward the regional people and Syrians. They claim that prohibited materials are sent through air routes.”

Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi says defense ties between Iran and Iraq can contribute to the enhancement of regional stability and security.

Hitler took pride in his “Aryan race” that put Jews in disadvantage because changing race is beyond one’s means. So, he found an easy excuse to go for Final Solution to solve his Jewish problem once for all.

The current economic downturn has become life and death issue for the American public and their Government. What led it to its current state, who was/were responsible, and how it can recover are the topics filling up mainstream media and blogsphere for the past five years. Economists view it, as is expected, purely from their economic/financial models with hardly any one, except possibly economists Nouriel Roubini and non-economists like Warren Brussee, ever having cautioned about the potential pitfalls when going was good.

The video below is less than three minutes. It was a short interview on a news program from Press TV, the Iranian network that I have found to be the best overall news available.

Alexander Cockburn ripped through mealy-mouthed platitudes about “the urgency of non-proliferation” the way George Orwell ripped through earlier examples of double-speak.

Iraq under Saddam Hussein was largely a secular Islamic state. He kept radical Islamic groups, particularly al-Qaeda, out of Iraq.

‘Who next?’ and ‘where goes freedom, human rights and justice?’-Mairead Maguire, NOBEL PEACE LAUREATE

Too bad the destruction of Islamic land marks in Timbuktu by the criminal thugs called “Ansar El-Islam/Supporters of Islam” did not generate or illicit the strong condemnations denunciations and material actions it deserves from the religious leaders of Al-Azhar, Mecca, Qom and Najaf. At best the condemnation was muted if not apologetic.

The German government is accused of selling weapons and security systems to dictatorial regimes and supporting them against democracy calls of their nations, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.

I thought the original title “ The Failing Arabs” would be too offensive to a very proud people and nation.

Raised on war propaganda, political claptrap and only mildly suspicious that America had been overthrown in the Coup de Etat on November 22, 1963, I was going to do my part.

The United States never was on the side of the people of the Middle East and is the only party standing between the Palestinians and their freedom and liberation and always stood the side of criminal dictatorship as they imprisoned, tortured, suppressed freedom and democracy and looted the country.

I am NOT suggesting ANY of this. All I’m doing is thinking out aloud, asking myself some questions.

Darkest Ohio - (VT) President Obama was elected to end the Bush wars, disband Homeland Security, find our friendly TSA workers something more useful to do and to sell the billions of dollars of unused airport scanners back to Michael Chertoff and Israel.

In light of the current and well-founded anxiety that the Obama administration will conduct a false flag operation during the May 20-21 Chicago NATO summit, this article, although written in 2008, is crucial reading now.

False Flags are a standard stratagem, particularly in democracies, in which it's necessary to create consensus before waging war.

In an historic 2006 interview, VT columnist Captain Eric H. May and Daniel Ott, host of The Edge, discuss the damning evidence that Mayor Richard Daley and Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich are setting up an attack on Sears Tower.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories. However I do believe in conspiracies.

Just looking at the facts, it appears far more likely that the U.S. will attack Iran again than Iran would attack the U.S. or Israel, America’s Middle East pawn. I say “again” because the U.S. has already an embarrassing record of aggression against Iran, so, if past is prologue, the U.S./Israeli alliance will strike Iran, not the other way around.

Few understand the American election, even those who live here.

My suspicion that Flight 191 was dedicated to destruction isn't at all fanciful. Indeed, it can easily be inferred from international and internet articles that are either unreported or under-reported by the American media.
