Throw these infidels in jail
Thursday 02nd September 2010
General Petraeus believes that the war's "ultimate goal" in Afghanistan is the "reconciliation" of the ultra-corrupt Hamid Karzai government with the Taliban. This in fact means that while "favorable" conditions are not created on the ground, government-sanctioned drug trafficking mafias and US defense contractors will continue to make - literally and metaphorically - a killing. As for the PR-savvy Petraeus, he will pull out all stops to sell his brand of Afghan surge to Americans as some sort of "victory" - as he managed to sell the rebranded Iraq war. And as for the (rebranded) umbrella of fighters conveniently labeled "Taliban", who seem to eat surges for breakfast, they will bide their time, Pashtun-style, and trust Allah to eventually hand them victory - the real thing, and not a PR fantasy.

When will those brave critics of Islam decry this mob hate?
Thursday 02nd September 2010
Many of these Islam-bashers and apologists for ethnic cleansing in Palestine have championed the misbegotten wars that have already killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims and ruined innumerable more lives. But they still present themselves as virtuous and lonely warriors, indefatigably rooting out the internal enemies of western civilisation, who tend to be either Muslims sinisterly reluctant to embrace the true American patriot's worldview, or politically correct liberal-lefties too scared to hear, let alone speak, the real truth about Islam.

A Middle East peace that wreaks havoc
Thursday 02nd September 2010
With the odds stacked so strongly in Israel's favour, Palestinians rightly view the sham US talks with dread. Where once Palestinians fought against dispossession and for their right to reparation and return, today's browbeaten leadership has settled for a set of aspirations that bear little relation to rights or justice. It is this defeated leadership, reportedly under US pressure to attend or have Palestinian Authority funding withdrawn, which will take part in the talks.

How to Kill Goyim and Influence People:
Wednesday 01st September 2010
Israeli Rabbis defend a book's shocking religious defense of killing Arabs and Palestinians. The rabbinical guidebook for killing non-Jews has exposed the power a bunch of genocidal theocrats wield over the government.

Two Yemeni men who flew from Chicago to Amsterdam and were detained Monday in the Netherlands on suspicion of planning a terrorist act do not appear to be involved in any conspiracy and did not know each other before they were arrested, according to two U.S. law enforcement officials. The officials said suspicions that the men were involved in an attempt to test the security of the aviation system with fake bombs appeared misplaced. Rather, they said, the two became the focus of an international terrorism scare as a result of a series of odd events.

Terror probe may be false alarm

Acts of Contrition
Wednesday 01st September 2010
"As we contemplate the enormity of the tragedy we unleashed in Iraq, these acts of contrition by clueless neocons are more than merely irritating: they are intolerable. There has to be some penalty for being so wrong – and yet there is none. Far from it, these people are being rewarded with honors and prestige...Who will rid us of these omnipresent self-regarding conscience-less war-bots? They still dominate the op ed pages of the nation’s newspapers, and they’re all over television, solemnly averring that our moral duty is to police the world, and sagely advising that our godlike powers are equal to the task. Soon enough this coalition of the clueless will be telling us that Iran must be our next target: that we can and must “liberate” the Persians, who are just waiting for the slightest signal from Uncle Sam to rise up and smite their oppressors" writes Justin Raimondo.

Petraeus: Hook, line and sinker
Wednesday 01st September 2010
Claims from General David Petraeus' command that the Taliban are losing Marjah in Afghanistan due to low morale ring hollow in the face of all the available hard facts. The episode and a similar one in Iraq two years ago instead illustrate the military's extraordinary efforts to shape the media narrative surrounding the war - and are straight out of Petraeus' manual on counter-insurgency.

Abbas faces a mission impossible
Wednesday 01st September 2010
The Israelis are clearly humoring Obama in the sham peace talks, uninterested in hammering out a sustainable peace with the Palestinians. Obama's promises of Palestinian statehood at his famous speech in Cairo in the summer of 2009 raised red flags in Israel. Obama desperately needs a success story in the Middle East, and so does Abbas. Netanyahu, however, knows what it takes to produce peace and realizes that his lack of interest and Abbas' likely inability to deliver will soon send the talks into history, like so many failed attempts at peace in the Middle East since the Madrid Peace Conference kicked off 20 years ago

A trillion-dollar catastrophe. Yes, Iraq was a headline war
Wednesday 01st September 2010
In Iraq the casus belli was a lie, perpetrated by George Bush and his meek amanuensis, Tony Blair. Saddam Hussein was accused of association with 9/11, and of plotting further attacks with long-range weapons of "mass destruction". Since this was revealed as untrue, the fallback deployed by apologists for Bush and Blair is that Saddam was a bad man and so toppling him was good. The truth is that the illegal invasion was blinded by a conviction in its neo-imperial omnipotence. However much people delude themselves, the west is still run by leaders, especially generals, drenched in the glory of past triumphs: leaders who refuse to believe that other nations have a right to order their own affairs. The awfulness of Iraq in 2003 was not so grotesque as to be the west's business – even had the west been able to build the pro-western, pro-Israeli, secular, capitalist utopia of neocon fantasy.
