Shock and awe at AIPAC
2008-06-08 15:24:00 PressTV's Middle East Today brings together a diverse range of guests to discuss the most pressing issues facing the region in particular, and the world as a whole.In this edition we are taking another look at the relationship between the United States and Israel ? one that comes in the light of the latest visit to Washington by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and an unexpectedly robust expression of support for Israel by presidential candidate, Barak Obama. Throughout his primary election campaign, Senator Barak Obama has constantly reinforced his message of change. A change from the tired, worn out and failed policies of the past. Most notable, perhaps, was his retort to Iraq military commander General David Petraeus that what was needed was a surge in diplomacy, not a surge in troops. At the time he was accused of appeasement. But his speech to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee on Wednesday sounded like something taken from the pages of the Project for...

Shock and Awe Naples Style
2008-01-21 16:04:00 Electricity has been a recurring theme for me these first few weeks of 2008. For one thing, the power on our little street has been going out nearly every day - not the whole Spanish Quarter, not the surrounding area, just our alley. Sometimes it’s just our apartment that blows a fuse, but when it’s ...

Shock and Awe - James Howard Kunstler
2007-09-25 10:52:00 by James Howard Kunstler With gasoline prices still skulking in the neighborhood of $3-a-gallon, despite oil priced above $80-a-barrel, political and economic leaders can pretend a little while longer that things are okay on the real life American scene. But between the dollar tanking in response to the Federal Reserve's Easy-Money-for-Big-Players policy, and the start of the home-heating season, you can be sure we are headed up to the $4-a-gallon range for happy motoring fuel before New Years. There is still broad disagreement among commentators as to whether we are headed into a wild inflation or a grim deflation, but the emerging pattern looks to me like a big ocean wave that gathers itself into a high cresting peak and then collapses under its own weight — that is, a technical wild inflation resolving into the low slop of people unable to buy anything. However you cut it, and from whatever angle you look at it, the bottom line will be a steeply lower standard ...

Winning over the Muslims: from ?shock and awe? to ?hearts and minds?
2007-07-30 18:59:00 “Despite the blustery talk from the White House about “all options being on the table” for dealing with Al Qaeda in Pakistan, the thrust of US plans is more about winning “hearts and minds” and less about unilateral military intervention.” — from the Christian Science Monitor article Can US woo Al Qaeda’s own haven?

Shock And Awe? Or Smoke And Mirrors
2007-02-16 22:11:01 As a veteran myself, I get no pleasure from taking the position that our government is bungling this war. I know it's not what our fighting men and women want to hear; I'm sure it's not what Republicans or many fellow conservatives will ever admit; The truth is, we were promised shock and awe. After untold billions of dollars spent and thousands of American lives lost, all we got was smoke and mirrors.
Shock and Awe? Or Smoke and Mirrors?
2006-10-30 00:31:00 The leadership of our country is politicizing the Iraq war in general and the lives of US soldiers in particular.
