"CIA Chief Sees Unrest Rising With Population

Swelling populations and a global tide of immigration will present new security challenges for the United States by straining resources and stoking extremism and civil unrest in distant corners of the globe, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said in a speech yesterday.

"I could comment that since the US wants to kill Iranians AND Iraqis in ... well, it doesn't matter just where.

But what is really going on here is the old double-shuffle. Bush/Neocons/Israel can't sell you a new war with Iran. The lies abut 'nookular' bombs didn't work this time. So the plan is clearly to try and sell you the idea that we are ALREADY at war with Iran, and of course it is Iran's fault the US is doing so poorly in Iraq and Afghanistan, so that driving over the border and bombing the crap out of Iran is just a formality in an already ongoing conflict.

Those that argue against a new war with Iran will be accused of being cowards; of wanting the US to "surrender" in a war already underway."

"Chinese build secret nuclear submarine base

China has secretly built a major underground nuclear submarine base that could threaten Asian countries and challenge American power in the region, it can be disclosed.

"It amazes me that the US and UK can embark on a program of belligerence across the globe, invading innocent country after innocent country, then when other nations start making what are prudent preparations to counter the obvious militarism of the US/UK/Israel, everyone acts like it's a huge surprise and a provocation.

What is China SUPPOSED to do? Open the gates and roll out the red carpet for our invading hordes?"

"LOOK OUT, BELOW!!!!"

"Archive of Nazi Documents Finally Opens Its Doors to the Public
Meister also sees the files as the most potent answer to Holocaust deniers: "Anyone who wants to minimize the Holocaust should come here. We'll show him documents by the million."

"Like the Red Cross records, these documents report that the victims who died in the Nazi slave-labor camps died for the most part from Typhus epidemics brought on by the bombing of German infrastructure at the end of the war."

"Iraq: U.S. has no claim to oil boom
As Congress gears up to debate the Bush administration's latest request for an additional $108 billion in war funding for Iraq and Afghanistan, Iraqis are fuming at suggestions being floated by lawmakers that Baghdad should start paying a share of the war's costs by providing cheap fuel to the U.S. military.

"America has hardly even begun to repay its debt to Iraq," said Abdul Basit, the head of Iraq's Supreme Board of Audit, an independent body that oversees Iraqi government spending. "This is an immoral request because we didn't ask them to come to Iraq, and before they came in 2003 we didn't have all these needs."

"We broke this country: we should either fix it (an impossible task, as proven by the spreading civil chaos, devastated infrastructure, and human misery 5 years on) or leave it to sort itself out.

The latter option is by far the more preferable, but because of the hubris in Washington, this absolutely will not happen any time soon."

I also find the idea that Iraq should pay us back for destroying and occupying their nation sickening!

That's what AmeriKa's political "debate" is these days, though!

Mr. Basit casts it perfectly:

"We didn't ask them to come to Iraq"

"Are these Syrian nuclear pictures faked?
Bloggers supportive of the CIA acknowledge that the first picture was digitally enhanced but say that the CIA never claimed last week that it was untouched.

"So now, we can expect that everything that the CIA offers as "evidence" to sell the American people another war has been in some way compromised, unless they have specifically stated that it is not?!?

Unflipping believable."

I would have used stronger language. :-)

"'Israel must be decisive'

"There will be no choice but to overthrow Hamas. They are essentially Iranian offshoots sitting within us. It's intolerable that Israel allows its cities to be fired upon; we must move from a war of attrition to a war of decisivness," said Opposition Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday in a meeting with local journalists in Netivot as he addressed Palestinian rocket attacks from Gaza.

"This sounds like the statement of a man with massacre on his mind.

And of course, the timing couldn't be more ironic, because a number of Palestinian groups have said that they are willing to respect an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire, which Egyptian officials will be presenting to Israel."
