In Libya there is talk of the bombing campaign giving way to troops on the ground, but, with or without troops on the ground, NATO only has one military strategy: bombing. They destroy the target nation’s infrastructure and “degrade and destroy’ its people: their deeds will live forever in the annals of crime.

It is impossible to understand the downfall of Dominique Strauss-Khan without linking it to his project for the creation of a new international reserve currency, which was to be launched on 26 May 2011 at the Deauville G-8 summit. The project was paradoxically anticipated as much by the Emerging States as by stateless capital, but rejected by the U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex. Thierry Meyssan exposes the chicanery of the Obama administration to dodge its commitments.

We should know by now that NATO kills
While serving on the House International Relations Committee from 1993 to 2003, it became clear to me that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was an anachronism. Founded in 1945 at the end of World War II, NATO was founded by the United States in response to the Soviet Union’s survival as a Communist state. NATO was the U.S. insurance policy that capitalist ownership and domination of European, Asian, and African economies would continue. This also would ensure the survival of the then-extant global apartheid.

More than 20,000 people assembled in Sadr City, a suburb of the Iraqi capital, to send a warning message to the US government that Washington is likely to suffer the consequences of extending its presence in their war-torn country, a Press TV correspondent reported early Thursday.
The leader of Iraq’s Sadr Movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, was among the officials who attended the demonstration to show unity with the people of Iraq.
In April, al-Sadr warned of an “escalation of military resistance” in Iraq if the US forces do not leave by the appointed deadline.
Earlier on Friday, Dhiya al-Showki, the head of the social committee of the movement, urged the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to follow through on a three-year-old US-Iraqi agreement that calls for all American forces to leave the country by December 31, 2011.
The United States is mandated to withdraw its forces from war-wrecked Iraq by the end of the year in line with the 2008 US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA).
Based on the agreement, Washington had to end its combat operations in Iraq in August 2010.
Despite claims by the United States that it no longer engages in combat actions in Iraq, there have been numerous reports of involvement of the US troops in military operations in the Middle Eastern country.

Iraqi demonstrators have gathered in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad to protest against the US attempts to prolong its military presence in the Middle Eastern country beyond the 2011 deadline.
Washington and its allies invaded Iraq in 2003 under the pretext of finding weapons of mass destruction stockpiled by the executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

“Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland;
who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island;
who rules the World-Island controls the world.”
Just in case any of us thought the empire was giving up, here they are pushing again towards Mackinder’s dream of global domination. Empire’s don’t give up, they collapse- we face a very rocky ride ahead.

The Black Sea is about to lose its historical exclusivity as a Russian-Turkish preserve. A visit by the USA-TRANSCOM commander General Duncan McNabb to Bucharest has sealed the fate of the Black Sea as the latest entry into the chronicles of the “new great game”.

“Ironically, Afghanistan is all set now to become the ”hub” that will bring Central Asia and South Asia together – except that the historic process is taking place not under US stewardship, as Starr conceived, Bush probably wanted and Obama failed to follow up, but under Chinese and Russian partnership.”

Grand visions take time to realize but they seldom die. They may languish but they regenerate and take new unexpected forms. The ”Great Central Asia” strategy envisioned by the George W Bush administration is most certainly one such grand vision.

“The military campaign to date has been a significant success for NATO and our Arab allies, but we need to do more. If we do not up the ante now there is a risk that the conflict could result in Gaddafi clinging to power,” General Sir David Richards said.
