  • Former CIA Official Ray McGovern Defends Assange

      I am happy to see Ray taking this position... Ray has become a strong voice for broad spectrum accountability by government.

      It will be interesting to see how Dr. Cole approaches the Al Akbar cable release in Lebanon...

      They contain the communication of the defense minister Mir of Lebanon conspiring with Israel THROUGH THE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR to invade Lebanon and 'wipe out' Hesbolah.

      If you have any doubts, check out what the perps have to say: They don't even try to deny their conspiracy, but claim it is "only" a difference of opinion.... Get that!! and Now the defense chief Mir says, he won't come to Parliament until those that accuse him of treason are arrested... Their hubris tell us what we need to know..!!!

      "Another series from Beirut in 2008 shows Lebanese Defense Minister Elias al-Murr telling U.S. diplomats, in a message he implied they should pass on to Israeli officials, that the Lebanese military would not resist an Israeli invasion so long as the Israeli forces abided by certain conditions. Murr, apparently hoping that an Israeli invasion would destroy much of the Hezbollah insurgency and the communities in Lebanon's south that support it, promised an Israeli invasion would go unchallenged as long as it did not pass certain physical boundaries and did not bomb Christian communities. A U.S. embassy official wrote, "Murr is trying to ascertain how long an offensive would be required to clean out Hizballah in the Beka'a." Murr added that he had discussed the plan with then-Military Commandant Michel Sleiman, who has since become the President of Lebanon."

  • Scammed in Afghanistan

      When Juan writes, his prose is like oil on the troubled seas.. For James Speaks "Unfortunately, there was no Plan B. Just like it was with Bernie Made-off’s hapless investors (I mean, who in their right mind would invest with some guy named Made-off???), we are screwed. Bernie is in prison. I think. Has anybody checked lately? Can we please put all Neo-cons ( I mean, who in their right mind would take the political advice of someone who calls himself a Neo-CON?) in jail with Bernie Made-off?"

      and WHO in their sober senses would invade Afghani-scam.... with a thousands of years record of bad outcomes for those that invade there...... OOOOOOOO but Rumsfeld had a plan............but he was one of the first victims of HIS own plan.. The horrorscope says the tide turns, with better luck for the invaders in 2469........ only $I,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO.OO more.
      With a little luck things can turn out fine.....

  • An Israeli Attack on Iran would reduce Barack Obama to a One-Term President
    • Thomas Ancrum Moore 08/22/2010 at 1:01 am

      Thank You again Dr. Cole. Your clear eyed analysis is an island in a sea of lies and deceit... I think a land invasion of Iran is a sure way to wreck the rotten hulk of America.... The U.S. cannot add enough zeros to their fictitious fiat money accounts to pay for three wars but for a short period... They will also drive energy prices sky high as the dollar plunges to hates... and cause an enormous backlash. It is asking too much of America....
