With the blessing of the US and its other North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) partners, as well as its own national legislature if not the entire Turkish population, some of whom have been holding mass rallies in opposition to Ankara’s war policy vis-a-vis Syria, the Turkish government has resorted to a double hypocrisy.

Romney’s speech reflects the impasse of US foreign policy and the failure of its drive to global hegemony. Whilst “Banghazigate” was the cue for the usual foreign policy rotation the re-orientation to the control of the Americas, which could have been imputed to Romney, has already failed and Chavez is stronger than ever. The USA doesn’t know what to do and the only realistic policy, a constructive engagement with Russia, China and the NAM, is out of bounds

For several months now it has been known that the US is cooperating with its allies in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar to provide aid and weapons to the rebel fighters in Syria. While the US has sent “non-lethal” aid to the rebels – like money, communications gear, and intelligence – it was also sent the CIA to the Turkish-Syrian border to funnel weapons coming primarily from Saudi Arabia and Qatar to various rebels. In recent weeks, the Obama administration has redoubled these efforts, sending more spies to help organize the Syrian rebels and tens of millions more in aid.

Viva el Comandante !
Ils ont prié. Ils ont espéré. Ils ont menacé. Ils ont menti. Ils ont diffamé. Ils ont trituré le trait à outrance. Ils ont truandé la vérité au profit de l’immoralité qui leur sied à merveille. Ils ont accusé. Ils l’ont traité de tous les noms d’oiseaux. Mais, Hugo Chavez a été réélu avec brio, force et conviction d’un peuple qui s’est levé comme un seul homme pour dire oui à son Comandante. Le président socialiste du Venezuela Hugo Chavez, avait voté dans une école, Manuel Fajardo Palacio, dans le quartier populaire situé dans l’ouest de Caracas, où il avait été accueilli par une foule en délire. C’était un signe.
