In the wake of the “Arab Spring” and NATO interventions, both official and secret, Qatar seeks to impose Islamist leaders wherever possible. This strategy has led it not only to fund the Muslim Brotherhood and to hand Al-Jazeera over to them, but also to support Al Qaeda mercenaries, who will henceforth oversee the Free Syrian Army. However, this new scenario raises serious concerns in Israel and among the supporters of the “clash of civilizations.”

In the midst of continued violence by Saudi backed forces in Bahrain, the latest of which has resulted in the death of an infant by teargas, Press TV talks with Saeed Shahabi of the Bahrain Freedom Movement in London about a recent meeting conducted between Al Khalifa and Cameron on reform and how this can be achieved when the Al Khalifa wants to remain in power with immunity and Britain wants also to keep the Sunni minority in power over the 70 percent Shiite majority population who are demanding the collapse of the regime in favor of a democracy. What follows is an approximate transcript of the interview.

WASHINGTON, Dec 16, 2011 (IPS) – Defence Secretary Leon Panetta’s suggestion that the end of the U.S. troop presence in Iraq is part of a U.S. military success story ignores the fact that the George W. Bush administration and the U.S. military had planned to maintain a semi-permanent military presence in Iraq.

The plot was believed to be as follows: Washington wanted to keep long-term US military presence in Iraq but the popular opinion in Iraq militated against it, which ultimately left the Barack Obama administration no choice but to comply with the Status of Forces Agreement [SOFA] and to withdraw all the troops by the stipulated deadline of December 2011.

On a day when one of Britain’s last surviving europhiles, Iain MacWhirter, referred to the eurozone as an “economic suicide pact”, I feel the need to return again to the question of Britain and Europe and , specifically, the state of opinion in this country on the issue.

USA 2012/2016: An insolvent and ungovernable country
16th December, 2011
As announced in previous GEABs, in this issue our team presents its anticipations on the changes in the United States for the period 2012-2016. This country, the epicentre of the global systemic crisis and pillar of the international system since 1945, will go through a particularly tragic in its history during these five years. Already insolvent it will become ungovernable bringing about, for Americans and those who depend on the United States violent and destructive economic, financial, monetary, geopolitical and social shocks. If the United States today is already very different from the “super-power” of 2006, the year the first GEAB was published, announcing the global systemic crisis and the end of the all-powerful US, the changes we anticipate for the 2012-2016 period are even more important, and will radically transform the country’s institutional system, its social fabric and its economic and financial weight.
