War hero John Bolton calls for war with Iran

John Bolton barks again.
Bolton, one of the signatory of infamous Project for a New American Century and accomplished military expert and  war “hero” who, while supporting Vietnam war, declined to enter combat duty enlisting in the National Guard to attend a  law school, plays his “ neocon blues” for the UK audience.

John Bolton: ‘I think we [...]

Iraq war – the truth exposed

There have been many theories and guesses on why Bush & Co decided to stir the Middle East, invade Iraq, then threaten Syria and Iran. All the speculations feed the discussions, dominate the news and thrive as a subject all over the blogosphere. And yet, only a detailed and painstaking analysis of the events allowed [...]

Blackwater – black deeds for rent

  Blackwater USA’s mercenary mission in Iraq is very much in the news this week, and rightly so. The private military contractor’s war-for-profit program, which has been so brilliantly exposed by Jeremy Scahill, may finally get a measure of the official scrutiny it merits as the corporation scrambles to undo the revocation by the Iraqi [...]

Greenspan – a delayed reaction

Alan Greenspan has published his memoir where he admits the Iraq bloody adventure is a war for the resouces, the oil. Great, I say, more hard proof is needed to expose this sick administration. My question though is why now? Why not in 2002 or 2003? If the truth was revealed then preventing this atrocity perhaps more [...]

Primum non nocere – doctors and torture. Part I

On July 2004 The New England Journal of Medicine, arguably the most prestigious medical journal in this country, presented an article “Doctors and Torture. Under normal circumstances this article should have provoked a heavy stream of media response, yet, our gutless news organizations quietly turned its attention to the victorious progress of our occupation of [...]

Eye on Iran. The blind one…

The fear and disinformation campaign is on. The recent media reports must remind the irresponsible headlines from early 2003, in the months and weeks leading to US assault on sovereign Iraq. The American public, as in 2003, is deprived, by cowardly compliant news organizations, of information available to the rest of the world. It is [...]

Mission Accomplished! Act 2.

The “surge” is working, the US is winning, al-Qa’ida is on the run, terrorists are being wiped out, and democracy is on the march in the Middle East. US military claims about Iraq have increasingly matched White House political aims.
The rhetoric from all top commanders, but especially Gen Petraeus, reads like undiluted White House [...]

The coalition of less willing…

Two days ago the Daily Telegraph published an interview with the head of the British army during invasion of Iraq. Former chief of the general staff, Gen Sir Mike Jackson  has said US post-war policy was “intellectually bankrupt” and the US strategy had been “short-sighted”. He said former US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld was “one [...]

Quo Vadis?…

The last few days brought us at least two critical news in , so called, ” war on terror”.
First, a duel of words with a sublimal aftertaste. Bush likes Maliki then.. maybe not; Maliki needs W but could find friends elsewhere turning his lower back at our prophet.
That’s fine…But I am hearing, mostly on a [...]
