President Bush and Vice President Cheney claimed they had repeatedly visited Dover AFB to honor American war dead. Their claim that this was done quietly, with no cameras and no publicity is now proven to have been a total lie.

Last week, President Obama gained what he called a “great diplomatic victory” when he “convinced” Israel to issue an apology to Turkey over their “misunderstanding” involving the massacre of peace activists and journalists on the high seas.

Is it hate to say and document that the neoconservative movement is Trotskyism? Is it hate to say that Irving Kristol in particular admitted that he was proud to be a Trotskyite in college?

We even gave them one hour of 'siesta' after lunch, as their culture demands, but they ran away as soon as the first missiles fell.

We now know that President Obama believes there is little or no prospect for peace in the Middle East unless enough Israeli Jews, in particular the young to whom he appealed directly, understand that the only way for Israel to survive as a Jewish and democratic state is “through the realization of a viable and independent Palestine” and then insist that their government commits itself in negotiations to ending the occupation of the West Bank (now well into in its 45th year).

From my Press TV debate with Lee Kaplan: "I’m not accusing you of dual loyalties. You only have one loyalty and it’s to Israel. It’s not to the United States...you should be in jail right now, sharing a cell with Jonathon Pollard."

"To any American, the term “welfare Cadillac” refers to an undeserving “freeloader” living off the hard work of others.

This week the world's greatest peace fraud came to the Holy Land and funked it. Frankly, if that's the best he can do after four years in the job he has no business calling himself a world leader.

In the last hours of Israeli Operation "Unbreakable Alliance," its name has proven to be nothing but a sad joke. Israel made its best at public pleasantries while insulting and attacking in the background.

Will bumper cars replace bombs in Israel and Palestine?

The day after Israel laughed at Obama, things got awry. Not on the formal level; American flags are larger than ever, Netanyahu's baritone is deeper than ever, and Palestinian despair is sadder than ever.

On March 20, 2013, the Israeli government started Operation "Unbreakable Alliance," the code name given to the visit of President Barack Obama in Israel.

The headline over a recent op-ed article in the New York Times by Rashid Khalidi was Is Any Hope Left for Mideast Peace? The answer to that question might or might not be clear beyond dispute when the curtain comes down on President Obama’s performance in Israel-Palestine.

Zionism is dead. As it goes thru its death throes, much is revealed of its nature.

his is the fourth essay in a 10-part Women’s History Month series entitled, Honoring Our Nation’s Women Veterans.

Why does Franklin Raines of Freddie/Fannie own the patent for a carbon trading computer originally owned by Carlton Bartels, CEO “Cantor Fitzgerald/CO2e.com/eSpeedprogram ?

Someone is trying to buy a war and look who is helping. Google "Marines, Rifles, Inauguration" and get the list of dupes, idiots and traitors.

The Israeli State Archives has just released the protocol of a cabinet meeting from 1983 in which bloated Israeli war pig Ariel Sharon shows his fear of the exposure of Israel's coordination with a Christian Lebanese militia to commit genocide against the Palestinian people in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.

Short answer - both are grovellers (definition in a moment). The president of the United States of America grovels to the Zionist lobby and its neo-con and Christian fundamentalist allies. The Palestinian “president” grovels to Obama as well as Israel’s leaders more often than not. Obama and Abbas are, one could say, grovelling twins, but if there was the equivalent of a Nobel Prize for grovelling, it would have to be awarded to Obama. (If when he leaves office Israel is still able to impose its will on the occupied and oppressed Palestinians, I think he should hand back the Nobel Peace Prize he was awarded).

It’s often said veterans are owed a debt because they freely took a dangerous pledge – that by joining the service – maybe, just maybe, they would be asked to put their lives on the line.

The internet is filled with it, mystery man "Dr. Jim Garrow," said to be a nominee for a Nobel Prize, said to be a "renowned author," spreads a bizarre slander about President Obama. However, when we try to find "Dr. Garrow," we are led to ultra-right wing "WorldNetDaily," a fanatic site run by the Israel lobby and the article below, the only real investigation into Garrow and who and what he really is.

Money laundering...prostitution...and gunning for Chuck Hagel. Las Vegas kingpin Sheldon Adelson, "the new Meyer Lansky," has been accused of all this and more.

Thinking ahead is one thing. Pre-emptive thinking is paranoia run wild.

No American president has ever insulted an Israeli PM like this.

Aaron Swartz's death raises an obvious question: Can you criticize Obama's barbarian, unconstitutional "kill list" without ending up on it yourself?

Obama's nominee to be the new Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, is causing a lot of politicians and Israel firsters to be upset.

A new bill introduced Sunday in the US House of Representatives that, if passed, would expand telehealth services in Medicare and Medicaid programs has garnered the support of The American Telemedicine Association.

President Obama signed legislation on January 1 that encourages the federal government to hire more small business in its massive procurement program.

Mr. President, I’d like to begin this conversation with a quote from a recent article by Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times. He wrote: “The only thing standing between Israel and national suicide any more is America and its willingness to tell Israel the truth.” If you were free to speak your mind to Israel, I mean Israel’s Jews, what would be your message?

Eleven-year war has not only given tremendous experience of fighting guerrilla war to both Army and militants but also has removed inhibitions and fears of each other.

By all accounts President Obama wants to nominate Chuck Hagel, the former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska to replace Leon Panetta at the Pentagon as Secretary of Defense, but a coalition led by the Zionist lobby is mounting a smear campaign against Hagel.

Well, it looks like Obama is going to attack Syria with at most token opposition by the national antiwar organizations, as was the case when he "phoned in" the order to bomb the crap out of Libya back on March 19, 2011.

More than 30 top U.S. officials, including presidents G.W. Bush and Obama, are guilty of war crimes or crimes against peace and humanity “legally akin to those perpetrated by the former Nazi regime in Germany,” the distinguished American international law authority Francis Boyle charges.

Could it have been "the October Surprise" that didn't work? Crazy as it might sound at this late date in December, could there have really been an October Surprise planned to insure the re-election of Obama to the Presidency?

Two US officials and one former US official said that if the standoff over Iran's nuclear program is not resolved by the end of 2013 Obama will use US military force against Iran.

The Arab Spring is over. Perhaps we should now be talking about the Arab Fall, in more senses than one. I do not believe that Hillary Clinton knew about the coup in advance.

How long Israel-Hamas truce could last is anybody’s guess given the past experiences with such ceasefire agreements. Netanyahu says he gave “peace a chance” while Hamas sees “victory” in the truce.

"History will have to judge his decision to expand the drone war, allow heroin production, begun under Bush, to continue and flourish. Obama was saddled with the mythology of 9/11, the mythology of our “best friend Israel” and a nation that had become dependent on lies and manipulation.”

The 2012 national elections are over. Conservatives are at a loss for words to describe the election results, while liberal progressives are giddy with joy.
