U.S. Was 'Clueless' on Counterinsurgency in Iraq
2008-04-29 19:27:00
The New York Sun Paul Wolfowitz, in his first public remarks on the Iraq war in years, said the American government was "pretty much clueless on counterinsurgency" in the first year of the war. The former deputy secretary of defense said yesterday that the force sent to Iraq was adequate for fighting Saddam Hussein's military, citing the speed with which American troops toppled the regime. But Mr. Wolfowitz said no one in the Bush administration anticipated that Saddam would order his security services to wage an insurgency after their formal defeat on the battlefield. If you were an Army chief and were about to meet a superior force on the ground that had a history in a previous conflict of decimating your Army in a frontal assault, what would you do? a. Surrender b. Die with honor in a frontal assault. c. Avoid a frontal assault, go asymmetrical and mount an insurgency. DUH! It just shows you how out of touch with reality the Neocons were and still are.

Zbigniew Brzezinski: The Weakness of America
2008-04-29 05:43:00
American Interest Magazine I think you?re putting your finger on a major weakness of contemporary America. The weakness is that we?re more democratic than we?ve ever been before, in the sense that popular pressures translate into policy pressures very quickly. And we?re probably as ignorant as ever about the rest of the world, because everybody now lives in a kind of simplistic, trivialized virtual reality in which fact and fiction, impressions and impulses, are mixed up in an incoherent fashion. The public really has no grasp of complexities, no sense of intellectual refinement in judging them, and our political leaders have become increasingly demagogic. The way George W. Bush campaigned for the war in Iraq, with reference to fictitious WMDs, and with sweeping, simplistic, black-and-white generalizations about freedom and tyranny, is a case in point. But he was responding to our increasingly imbecilized societal condition. This is very troublesome. I think the degeneration of the...

Bush: Robin Hood for the Rich
2008-04-28 20:21:00
The Bush economic policy was a scam, a rip off, probably the biggest bait and switch in history. I began with a tactic proposed by Grover Norquist called "Starving the Beast". I've been writing about it for four years. The idea is that if the US government spends itself into debt so far that it can't grow the economy enough to get out, the only outcome can be major cuts in government spending. Combine this with Globalization, the pressure on the wages of the average American will continue to decrease relative to the cost of living. The end result is we have a major counter-revolution, a return to pre-New Deal times where the rich were richer and the worker was too busy to pay attention to anything but paying for food and shelter. If you don't believe me, read on: AlterNet The recession of 2001 never ended. At least not for ordinary Americans. Ordinary Americans found that their income was declining. From 2001 to 2007, median family income declined - depending on where you ...

Obama says US will need to abandon maize-based ethanol production
2008-04-28 03:28:00
Obama proves himself to be more statesman than politician here. In this statement he is likely to do his candidacy more harm than good, but he speaks an absolute truth that most others wouldn't dare. BigNewsNetwork.com In the US, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has said the US will not be able to ignore global suffering from a food crisis. Obama said the US should be "mindful" of the effect its own search for alternative fuel sources is having and should slowly move away from maize-based fuel production that has shared the blame for surging food prices. He said that maize-based ethanol, which is heavily subsidised in Obama's home state of Illinois, was a technology that should soon make way for other alternatives. "We're going to have to shift to cellulosic ethanol, using biomass that is not part of the food chain," he said. "And that's going to require some time." The production of bio-fuels in industrial nations has been widely blamed for the sharp rises in th...

Zimbabwe: Headed for Civil War?
2008-04-27 00:03:00
Bloomberg.com Supporters of Zimbabwe 's opposition Movement for Democratic Change have retaliated against attacks by President Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe Africa n National Union- Patriotic Front, New York-based Human Rights Watch said. ``The emergence of tit-for-tat retaliatory attacks between Zanu-PF and MDC supporters could further escalate the violence, putting the general population at greater risk,'' Human Rights Watch said in an e-mailed report. The violence follows the establishment by Zanu-PF supporters of torture camps in Zimbabwe's rural areas, HRW said. Zanu-PF is using the camps to punish hundreds of MDC supporters for voting for the opposition in the southern African nation's March 29 presidential and parliamentary elections, it said. The opposition MDC was poised to win control of the country's House of Assembly after 18 of the 23 contested seats were confirmed today, the chairman of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said.

Joint Chiefs Preparing to Attack Iran
2008-04-26 00:03:00
washingtonpost.com The nation's top military officer said today that the Pentagon is planning for "potential military courses of action" against Iran , criticizing what he called the Tehran government's "increasingly lethal and malign influence" in Iraq. Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said a conflict with Iran would be "extremely stressing" but not impossible for U.S. forces, pointing specifically to reserve capabilities in the Navy and Air Force. "It would be a mistake to think that we are out of combat capability," he said at a Pentagon news conference. Still, Mullen made clear that he prefers a diplomatic solution to the tensions with Iran and does not foresee any imminent military action. "I have no expectations that we're going to get into a conflict with Iran in the immediate future," he said.

A Solution to the Food Crisis
2008-04-25 20:46:00
AlterNet Here's what we must do to prevent an epidemic of starvation from breaking out. First, it is essential to have safety nets and public distribution systems put in place. Donor countries should provide more aid immediately to support government efforts in poor countries and respond to appeals from U.N. agencies, which are desperately seeking $500 million by May 1. Second, we should help affected countries develop their agricultural sectors to feed more of their own people and decrease their dependence on food imports. We should promote production and consumption of local crops raised by small, sustainable farms instead of growing cash crops for western markets. And we should support a country's effort to manage stocks and pricing so as to limit the volatility of food prices. To embrace these crucial policies, however, we need to stop worshipping the golden calf of the so-called free market and embrace, instead, the principle of food sovereignty. Every country and every pe...

Syria Nuclear Story a Diversion
2008-04-25 19:08:00
Informed Comment The US and Israel accused Syria on Thursday of building a secret nuclear reactor with North Korean help. There was a lot of innuendo in the press that the reactor was intended for nuclear weapons production. But AFP notes: 'They said US intelligence had "high confidence" that the structure bombed by the Israelis was a nuclear reactor, "medium confidence" that the North Koreans were involved in building it, and "low confidence" that plutonium from it was for nuclear weapons. [..]The real question is the timing of the announcement, since the bombing happened a long time ago. It is suspicious to me that the announcement was made just after a spy for Israel was arrested in the US who had stolen US nuclear secrets. Is it diversionary? Syria expert Josh Landis discusses a different theory of diversion, having to do with revelations that Syria and Israel are closer to an agreement on the future of the Golan Heights. I'd add that former president Jimmy Carter's rece...

Food Crisis: Hunger Plagues Haiti and the World
2008-04-23 20:17:00
Globalresearch.ca Consumers in rich countries feel it in supermarkets but in the world's poorest ones people are starving. The reason - soaring food prices, and it's triggered riots around the world in places like Mexico, Indonesia, Yemen, the Philippines, Cambodia, Morocco, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Guinea, Mauritania, Egypt, Cameroon, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Peru, Bolivia and Haiti that was once nearly food self-sufficient but now relies on imports for most of its supply and (like other food-importing countries) is at the mercy of agribusiness. Wheat shortages in Peru are acute enough to have the military make bread with potato flour (a native crop). In Pakistan, thousands of troops guard trucks carrying wheat and flour. In Thailand, rice farmers take shifts staying awake nights guarding their fields from thieves. The crop's price has about doubled in recent months, it's the staple for half or more of the world's population, but rising prices and fearing scarcity ...

US arrests man for passing secrets to Israel
2008-04-23 16:20:00
The Daily Star US authorities have arrested an American man on charges that he disclosed classified defense information, including on nuclear weapons, to Israel , the Justice Department said Tuesday. Ben-Ami Kadish worked as a mechanical engineer at a US Army weapons center in New Jersey when he provided the documents to Israel's consul for science affairs in New York over several years, the department said. US authorities also accused Kadish of illegally acting as an agent for Israel from 1979 to 2008 without notifying the US attorney general's office. The complaint alleges the consular official, identified in the indictment as "CC-1," gave Kadish lists of classified defense documents to obtain from the US Army's Armament Research, Development, and Engi-neering Center at the Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, New Jersey. On numerous occasions between 1979 and 1985, the suspect took classified documents to his residence in New Jersey, where CC-1 would photograph them, prosecutors cha...

Selling the Iraqi War on TV
2008-04-22 19:42:00
Remember, propaganda is illegal when directed towards the voting public. AlterNet In Sunday's New York Times, investigative reporter David Barstow exposed television's "military analysts" on the Iraq War as sock puppets of the Pentagon who consciously peddle the Bush administration's talking points on Iraq while hiding their own vested economic interest in selling the public on the Bush administration's happy talk about the war. This very long and very well-documented story lays bare the most blatantly obnoxious feature of the "Military-Industrial-Media Complex" which ensures that the airwaves convey the administration's major messages on the war day in a day out. The story should mobilize the blogosphere and news media figures who still have some integrity to demand immediate reform of a massively corrupt network system of covering military affairs. For starters, the networks should be forced to fire every "military analyst" who has been recruited and accepted all-expenses...

Clinton on Iran: If They Attack Israel, We Could 'Obliterate Them'
2008-04-22 03:54:00
ABC News Clinton further displayed tough talk in an interview airing on "Good Morning America" Tuesday. ABC News' Chris Cuomo asked Clinton what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons. "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," Clinton said. "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them."

Iraq the Debacle
2008-04-18 23:52:00
A National Defense University study by a former Pentagon official: The report said that the United States has suffered serious political costs, with its standing in the world seriously diminished. Moreover, operations in Iraq have diverted "manpower, materiel and the attention of decision-makers" from "all other efforts in the war on terror" and severely strained the U.S. armed forces. "Compounding all of these problems, our efforts there (in Iraq) were designed to enhance U.S. national security, but they have become, at least temporarily, an incubator for terrorism and have emboldened Iran to expand its influence throughout the Middle East," the report continued.

Carter - Israeli sanctions on Gaza a 'criminal atrocity'
2008-04-18 18:33:00
The consummate statesman from the US, former President Carter , minces no words about Israel these days. By making impassioned statements about Israel's excesses, he hopes to carve space for Hamas to stop rocketing unilaterally. This man is truly courageous, devoting his final years to using his influence to cut through politics as usual and make a constructive impact, whatever the cost to his personal reputation. He is a man to be admired. BigNewsNetwork.com Former US president Jimmy Carter and high-level leaders of the radical Palestinian organisation Hamas, have held talks in the Egyptian capital Cairo. The United States and Israel oppose Mr Carter's private peace mission, especially since he is making a special effort to meet with leaders of the Islamic Hamas movement, which he says cannot be ignored. On Friday, the former US president will meet with the most senior official in the Hamas movement, Khaled Meshaal, in the Syrian capital Damascus. Meanwhile, Mr Carter has def...

Mugabe Accuses Winning Opponent of Treason
2008-04-17 15:57:00
Bloomberg.com Zimbabwe's main opposition denied allegations in state media that it conspired with the U.K. government to end President Robert Mugabe 's rule. The state-controlled Herald newspaper today cited Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa as saying that Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, colluded with U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown to effect ``illegal regime change in Zimbabwe.'' The actions are ``treasonous,'' the newspaper, often used by the government to make official pronouncements, said. ``The reports in today's Herald are absolute rubbish,'' George Sibotshiwe, Tsvangirai's spokesman, said in an interview today from Johannesburg. ``No one familiar with Zimbabwe should be surprised by these tactics of defamation and lies. They are typical of Mugabe's regime and its mouthpiece newspapers.'' Tsvangirai competed in presidential elections on March 29 in which he sought to end Mugabe's 28-year rule of the southern Africa n nation. Re...

The Beingness Doctrine
2008-04-16 02:59:00
STEPHAN A. SCHWARTZ, Editor - Schwartzreport.net Naomi Klein has written a book, Shock Doctrine, whose premise is that a formal strategy for forcing social change began evolving on the Right as long ago as the 1950s based on an extremist view of conservative free market capitalism. As Eric Klinenberg wrote in his Book Forum review 'Why do so many nations have economic policies more laissezfaire and social programs less generous than their citizens prefer? Naomi Klein argues that the answer lies in a simple two-step strategy, honed over three decades by an international cabal of freemarket fundamentalists: First, exploit crises-whether due to economics, politics, or natural disasters - to advance an agenda that would never survive the democratic process during ordinary times. Next, create a â??corporatocracy,' in which multinationals and political leaders align to promote their interests at the public's expense.'1 In her extraordinarily well-documented work she describes how...

Will the Constitution Be Altered to Eliminate Key Liberties?
2008-04-14 16:41:00
AlterNet Though little discussed on the campaign trail, a crucial issue to be decided in November is whether the United States will return to its traditions as a constitutional Republic respecting "unalienable" human rights or whether it will finish a transformation into a frightened nation governed by an all-powerful President who can do whatever he wants during the open-ended "war on terror." That reality was underscored on April 1 with the release of a five-year-old legal opinion from former Justice Department official John Yoo asserting that President George W. Bush possessed nearly unlimited authority as Commander in Chief, including the power to have military interrogators abuse terror suspects. While most news coverage of Yoo's March 14, 2003, memo has focused on the legal gymnastics justifying harsh treatment of detainees -- including possible use of mind-altering drugs -- the centerpiece of Yoo's argument is that at a time of war the President's powers are essentially...

Double Think Dubya's "Surge" Debacle
2008-04-14 16:32:00
Informed Comment George W. Bush and Dick Cheney initially rejected the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group report, which advised that Iraq could not be solved militarily and that regional diplomacy and engagement would be necessary. Bush chose instead to pursue an escalation of the war, which he euphemistically called a 'surge.' This tactic backfired when Bush inadvertently allowed the ethnic cleansing of the Sunnis of Baghdad, turning the capital into a playground for the Shiite Mahdi Army. As a result of the Shiitization of Baghdad, violence in the city thereafter declined, since there were fewer Sunnis around to kill (many were cowering in Damascus). The US achieved a ceasefire with the Mahdi Army (and why not, since the US military was disarming its enemies and allowing it to then chase them off to Syria?) Moreover, Baghdad was only one hot spot in a very complicated country, and security continued to deteriorate in the Kurdish north along the Turkish border and in the southern...

Russian Army chief threatens action if Ukraine or Georgia join NATO
2008-04-11 16:57:00
M&C Russia's top army general vowed to take military action if NATO expands eastward to include its former Soviet neighbours Georgia and Ukraine , news agency Interfax reported Friday. 'Russia will take unambiguous action toward ensuring its interests along its borders,' General Yuri Baluyevsky was quoted as saying. 'These will not only be military steps, but also steps of a different character,' he said. Moscow lobbied hard to head off Georgia and Ukraine's ambition for membership at last month's NATO summit in Bucharest, but alliance leaders intend to review their bid in December. Russia views NATO's willingness to enlarge eastward as the continuation of the Western Cold War containment policy and the spread of a foreign military bloc along its border.

Rush to Pass This Bill
2008-04-10 02:09:00
The Nation Currently, six states and a number of counties in 14 other states will be conducting completely unauditable elections in 2008. Shockingly, only about a dozen states will conduct audits. Holt's bill would reimburse jurisdictions that choose to implement voter-verified paper trails; help states move to an entirely paper-based system; and/or provide funding for audits of election returns. The alternative? How many lessons do we need? The 2000 debacle alone should be enough to show the need for these changes. Want more? How about 2006, when 18,000 votes were lost by electronic voting machines in Florida's 13th Congressional District ? in a contest decided by less than 400 votes. As a New York Times editorial put it, "The flaws of electronic voting machines have been thoroughly documented by academic studies and by voters' experiences. The machines are far too vulnerable to hacking that could change the outcomes of elections. They are also so prone to mechanical error and...

Zimbabwe gangs go after opposition voters
2008-04-09 06:41:00
Los Angeles Times The mob materialized quietly in the fading dusk light. There were 50 youths hurrying along, armed with sticks, rawhide whips and knives. It was Sunday night, just over a week after Zimbabwe 's disputed national elections, and even before the shouting began, John Saramu knew what was going to happen. He felt it in the knot of fear in his stomach. "They just appeared on the corner. In my heart I felt afraid. I saw them very close to me," said Saramu, an activist for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change in a farming district outside the town of Mutare. "They came into my house. They were shouting, 'We want to kill you!' They were saying, 'We want to go around and find all the MDC supporters one by one, and we want them to get out.'

In the Boardroom, Every Back Gets Scratched

New York Times According to the Congressional Research Service, average pay for chief executives stood at 179 times average worker pay in 2005, up from a multiple of 90 in 1994. Adjusted for inflation, average worker pay rose by a total of only 8 percent from 1995 to 2005; median pay for chief executives at the 350 largest companies rose 150 percent. Top executives? pay as a ratio of their employers? earnings has also skyrocketed in the last 15 years. And these executives are paid far more than their counterparts at companies of comparable size in Britain or Japan. How did this happen? How did pay grow so fast at the top? It starts with several corporate governance factors and then goes into psychosocial factors. For one thing, although a company?s stockholders by every legal precept own the company, they have almost no say in how their employees, the executives, are paid. Instead, the pay of the top executives is set by the board, usually the compensation committee. The director...

Punishing Hamas Has Backfired
2008-04-06 17:31:00
International Crisis Group - Gareth Evans in The Christian Science Monitor The policy of isolating Hamas and applying sanctions to Gaza has been a predictable failure. Violence to both Gazans and Israelis is rising. Economic conditions are ruinous, generating anger and despair. The credibility of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and other pragmatic forces has been grievously damaged. The peace process is in tatters. Meanwhile, Hamas's hold on the Gaza Strip, purportedly the principal target of the policy, has been strengthened. Since Hamas assumed full control in June 2007 the already-tight sanctions, imposed following the Islamists' January 2006 electoral victory, have been tightened further. Israel ? upon which Gazans depend almost entirely for relations with the outside world ? even curtailed cross-border passenger and goods traffic. Israel has hardly been alone. The West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, seeking to undermine Hamas's standing, has done its part...

M&C An estimated 1.1 million people have joined the US jobless rolls over the past year, resulting in a rise in the unemployment rate to 5.1 per cent in March, the US government said Friday. The figure adds another piece to the overall contracting economic picture in the country. Earlier this week, US central bank head Ben Bernanke said a US recession was 'possible' in the first quarter of 2008. The unemployment rate in February was 4.8 per cent. Economic growth in the last quarter of 2007 was 0.06 per cent. The US Department of Labour said payroll employment had declined by 232,000, particularly in the construction, manufacturing and employment services branches.

China again cues up its propaganda machine
2008-04-03 18:17:00
International Herald Tribune Mao Zedong announced the tune himself, in 1927, when he wrote: "A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay or painting a picture or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." For the next half-century, China was one of the most violent places on earth, and not just because of the vicious foreign invasion and civil war that swept the country, or the ceaseless purges of supposed traitors and class enemies. There was also the matter of language, which in China has been both an underrated means of violence and a vehicle for it. Mao's state created a propaganda system built on a crude triage: a world of heroes who were unalterably and impossibly good, and an even larger one of villains who were irredeemably, cartoonishly bad. Over-the-top became the routine in official ...

Iraq: Badr Corps Inducted into Army - Thousands fired for Mutiny
2008-04-02 23:31:00
Even al-Maliki sees Sadr as winning this battle. He's drafted the other large militia into the Army to replace what was likely a lot of Sadr sympathizers and Mahdi Army members. Informed Comment Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Tuesday honored the militias of the parties in the United Iraq i Alliance, i.e. the Da'wa (Islamic Call) Party and the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq. They were singled out for having fought alongside government security forces, and some 10,000 of them were inducted into the latter. Al-Zaman points to a double standard, insofar as the government has not similarly honored, or accepted into the state apparatus, most members of the Sunni Awakening Council militias that have been fighting the Qutbist Jihadis. The induction of Badr Corps fighters (the paramilitary of ISCI) and those of the Da'wa Party into security positions came in the wake of the firing of thousands of officers and troops who had refused to obey orders to fire on the Mahdi Army militiame...

Al Sadr Wins Again

Both bin Ladin and al Sadr seem adept at manipulating the Bush Administration into facilitating the building of their movement. Become the enemy of the US and grow in power and numbers, be permanently remembered as a fearless leader. Oh, I think Bush saw himself as a hero maker, it just didn't turn out as he planned. csmonitor.com On Monday, one day after the Shiite cleric's call for a truce following the battle that killed hundreds of people and wounded scores of others, several conclusions are clear. Mr. Sadr has demonstrated his power, despite the blows dealt to his movement over the past few years. The government spokesman, Ali al-Dabbagh, thanked him profusely on Monday for his decision, but vowed that the fight would continue in Basra, where militiamen have now largely melted away from the streets, but remain very much in control of their strongholds. "It's the same old ending," says Juliana Dawood, a Basra resident, referring to previous battles with Sadr's Mahdi Army i...

Texas Prosecutes Little Old Ladies for Voter Fraud, Let's Republican Ballot

AlterNet Willie Ray was a 69-year-old African-American City Council member from Texarkana who wanted her granddaughter, Jamillah Johnson, to learn about civil rights and voting during the 2004 presidential election.
