- Consecutive appointments of straight shooting generals in charge of US Embassy & Command HQ in Kabul was a stroke of genius

Enough navel gazing. Let’s go after the real enemy.

"Who are you going to trust, me or your own eyes?" -Chico Marx

The media have been utterly complicit in the deception since the first moments after the North Tower was hit. Take BBC - please!

Every military and intelligence operation has a "cover and deception" aspect. Most have several, backup stories to use if one fails, like the inflatable tanks that Patton's "empty army" used in Britain in 1944 to fool the Germans.

If the Iraq war is over and the Afghan war is winding down, what is prompting the remorseless expansion of the Pentagon's vast network of overseas military bases?

The Pentagon is pressuring Congress to take even more money out of the pockets of American tax payers and send it to the Jewish state of Israel.

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta welcomed Secretary of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki today to the Pentagon for the latest in a series of regular meetings the two secretaries have held on issues of common interest to both departments.

Pay back was called for regardless of how the top brass feels

National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell's inaugural address in June 2007 about cancelling the Misty satellite program.

Reportedly, under pressure from the Pentagon, President Obama “hesitated for more than a week” before he phoned Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari “to provide a qualified apology” for the November 26th killings by U.S. aircraft and artillery of two dozen Pakistani soldiers at a border post near Afghanistan.

The $178 billion in cuts the Pentagon has proposed in its own budget “are largely illusory,” according to a report in the September 5th issue of “Bloomberg Business Week”(BBW) magazine.

"All the proffered evidence that America was attacked by Muslims on 9/11, when subjected to critical scrutiny, appears to have been fabricated."

There is little if any hard evidence, available to the public, that American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

The suppressed video has been finally released. 10 years later, it clearly shows the Pentagon attack was a cruise-type missile; either a Tomahawk or Russian/Soviet Granit as described by Dimitri Khalezov.

While hard working American tax payers face economic hardships, 81 members of Congress neglected listening to their constituents during this summers recess to take a lobbyist-funded trip designed to pressure them into sending even more tax-payer-funded weapons to the Israeli military which will be used to commit human rights abuses against Palestinians.

With the ten year anniversary coming up, increasingly Israel's hand is seen in 9/11, not just from conspiracy websites or "Jew haters" but from top analysts.

This August 6th and 9th mark the 66th anniversaries of the most brutal acts of terrorism upon innocent people; America's atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

If the United States attempted to “conquer” by love rather than force of arms, it might be respected, not reviled, globally.

This citizen of conscience for U.S. House of Representatives 2012 asserts that America’s ugly side is rooted in failures of intelligence, heretical Christianity and a lack of true patriotism, for "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official." -Theodore Roosevelt

The United States of America is in the process of slowly and deliberately destroying a human being before the eyes of the world. All of President Obama's posturing about the conduct of dictator Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi of Libya will not expunge his own calculated cruelty in allowing his Pentagon to continue the degrading and dehumanizing punishments being inflicted on PFC Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old Army intelligence specialist accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of files to WikiLeaks. AP reports Manning has now been charged with “aiding the enemy,” a crime that can bring the death penalty or life in prison.

The CIA and Pentagon used “enhanced interrogation techniques”(EIT) on Middle East prisoners knowing they were illegal and considered to be torture by the United Nations, according to an article published in the January issue of the American magazine “Science.”

A water truck backs up to the Euphrates River in Iraq. The driver, a Ugandan or maybe an Ethiopian, gets out, lowers a hose into the sewage ridden flow and fills his truck. 5 miles away, a US Army water purification center sits, too far away. The driver thinks, "water is water." Another of the Pentagon's "Zombie Contractors" take their toll, part of the army of "undead" and unqualified who are the world's most expensive work force.

There never were plans for a mosque at "ground zero." The entire story is made up by a public relations agency working with the Israeli government and the GOP. There are plans for an Islamic center in an old Burlington Coat Factory store blocks away. That far down the island of Manhattan, a couple blocks away is "across town." The idea that Israel is financing the "Ground Zero Mosque" controversy when Mossad agents were arrested, dancing in the streets on 9/11, is an obscenity.

- Given the current trend of things in Afghanistan, if President Obama and SecDef Gates are really serious about reclaiming "efficiencies" in defense spending, maybe they ought to think a little harder about the billions spent every month in that country, not to mention the wisdom of retaining 50,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. Sven Ortmann appropriately quotes Winston Churchill: "The Americans will always do the right thing ... after they've exhausted all the alternatives."
