The citizens of this country are in no mood to see U.S. military involvement in Syria. Of course, it has already begun. Consultation, secret assistance, and money given for “communications” (which allows other money for weapons) all contribute to the military effort. For months, Hillary Clinton demanded that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad leave the country. [...] Robert Fisk says claims of chemical weapons use by the Syrian government are without support and that he can “trash” the evidence supporting those claims. Essentially, he’s calling out the Obama administration for creating a ruse to justify intervention based on the “red line” statement. Obama will intervene if Syria uses chemical weapons. The UN [...] The word truth often signifies an expression of profound belief. Opponent of higher taxes insist that low tax rates promote new jobs and an expanding gross domestic product. Proponents of higher taxes insist that historical data shows just the opposite. Who knows the truth of these assertions or if there is any true answer? The [...] By Adil E. Shamoo Consortium News, 3/28 With Syria and Iran, President Barack Obama faces getting mired in two wars that could set the entire Middle East aflame, and perhaps the rest of the Islamic world, too. Such an outcome would be in part due to Mr. Obama’s Middle Eastern policy, and the willingness [...] Not many people like the messes Congress makes but everybody should see how they’re made. This article takes a close look at the legislation just passed by Congress and signed by President Obama allowing the Secretary of Agriculture to issue executive orders that bypass regulations, safety, and science for the purpose of speeding genetically modified [...] General Karl W. Eikenberry was right in November 2009 when he urged less support for an Afghanistan ruled by President Hamid Karzai.

[...] I’ve known Mark Karlin (online) for a while. As editor of BuzzFlash, he was generous enough to run my voting rights and other articles on more than a few occasions. He’s an excellent analyst in addition to his editorial skills and a solid progressive Democrat from Chicago. All the more reason to take his article [...] Andrew Kreig Justice Integrity Project February 17, 2013 My morning newspaper Feb. 17 provided several depressing reports. I learned more about the spread of horsemeat in Europe’s human food supply. Subscribers read also about austerity measures in the United States that hurt the young, old, and those in between. The downward developments are worth noting, [...] Michael Collins (Washington, DC 1/17) The nation’s capital hosted over 40,000 citizens assembled to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The crowd urged President Obama to bring to reality his lofty words on climate change in the inaugural address just days ago. By stopping the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, the [...] Michael Collins (Washington, DC, 12/9) Here we go again. On, December 3, President Barack Obama warned the Syrian government against using chemical weapons against, among others, NATO-Saudi sponsored fighters trying to overthrow President Bashar Assad. A few days later, British Prime Minister David Cameron’s foreign secretary claimed that he had evidence the Syrian government plans [...] Michael Collins Creative Commons (Washington, DC, 11/15) The bitterness of the neocons knows no limit. They’re still having tantrums after being denied the unchallenged ability to pillage and plunder at will (and at our expense). Never mind that the public doesn’t want to hear it. The Congressional Republicans are jumping up and down over [...] |
