Libya crisis keeps Rolls-Royce busy
Posted by seumasach on July 29, 2011
Of course, it’s not all spin- there is also spin off. Who could have thought there could be a growth area in Britain’s economy?- never write off the war sector.

Another day for Libya’s “sole legitimate representatives”
Posted by seumasach on July 29, 2011
The question is which faction was it that William Hague was supporting: was it the Younis faction or those who are now celebrating his death? It doesn’t appear to have anything to do with Gaddafi’s men so why retaliate by bombing Tripoli?

Posted by seumasach on July 29, 2011
Friends of McCain, standard bearers for democracy in Libya, recognised by 30 nations as sole legitimate representatives of the Libyan people, this rabble in disarray look certain losers: only a failing empire would place their bets with this lot.

Who Was Behind the Anthrax Attacks?

More evidence Bruce Ivins was a scapegoat
Justin Raimondo
20th July, 2011
The admission by the Justice Department that they know the alleged perpetrator of the anthrax attacks did not have the means to create anthrax in his lab is hardly surprising: after all, this is an “investigation” that has been so mishandled that one has to question whether the point of it was ever to find the real culprit.

After having cautiously lingered in the shade for almost eight months figuring out the meaning and dangers of the Arab Spring, Israel suddenly stirred itself on Tuesday. In an unprecedented move, Israeli President Shimon Peres called in the Arab media for a press conference and made the announcement that Israel backed regime change in Damascus.

‘What Will Happen After Gadhafi?’

Interview with former Russian Foreign Minister
26th July, 2011
SPIEGEL: Mr. Primakov, which Arab country currently worries you the most?
Primakov: Libya. The Western coalition’s attempt to bomb the Gadhafi regime away isn’t backed by UN Resolution 1973 — and it’s not well thought-out in strategic terms. It’s high time for us to find a political solution to the Libyan crisis .

The head of the British Foreign Ministry William Hague, following his French counterpart, Alain Juppe, has noticeably softened his stance in relation to Muammar Gaddafi. They no longer demand that he appears before the Hague tribunal. They graciously allowed him to stay in Libya. However, on the condition that the Colonel relinquishes his power.

Economic Dead End
Posted by seumasach on July 27, 2011
27th July, 2011
We have had a “natural rate” of economic growth of around 3% for a couple of hundred years. There have of course been peaks and troughs, but the trend has been consistent. If anyone wants to quibble with the precise 3% figure, that does not affect my argument.

Unfortunately NATO are bad losers: what wild, criminal schemes will they come up with next?
27th July, 2011
Gaddafi now controls 20% more territory than he did before we started this odious bombing campaign. He has been able to hold more and better attended rallies of more genuine supporters in recent days than he ever could before we started bombing. Exactly as I predicted, the effect of NATO bombing has been to rally nationalist support around Gaddafi, whom we have stupidly put in a much stronger position than he was when he only faced genuine internal rebellion.
