2007-11-04 16:51  How to Rein in Iran Without War
By Jim Hoagland (THE WASHINGTON POST, 04/11/07): Iran is working to produce a 20-to-50-pound stockpile of enriched uranium that it can use to build atomic weapons within eight to 10 weeks, once it decides to do so - and has consistently lied to the United Nations about those efforts. That headline conclusion is one of two basic points that I draw from a series of private meetings on Iran 's nuclear ambitions involving diplomats, leading academic experts, senior military officers and experienced …

Defense & The War Woops, the U.S. military also seems under the crazy impression Blackwater employees opened fire without provocation last month when they killed (not murdered) 14 Iraqis who were not shooting back. In other words, those lying brown people, the ones some apologists have said lied... well, they probably didn't, since soldiers on the scene corroborate the Iraqi side of things, and not the Blackwater side of things. Short term projects, such as disaster relief, however, can be appro …

Since its self-directed "collapse" on Christmas Day 1991, the Soviet Union has hid behind the mask of the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Eurasian Economic Community (EEC). These alliances include all of the Not-So-Former Soviet republics, except the Baltic states, in either full or observer status. Georgia and Azerbaijan do not hold membership in the EEC, which evolved from the CIS Customs Union. In New Lies for Old (1984) and The Perestroika Deception (1995, 1998) KGB defector Anato …

In the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin's August 17 announcement concerning the resumption of permament bomber patrols, much attention has been given to Russia's "lumbering" 1950s-era Bear bombers with their "enormous" radar signatures. Cyber-chatter like this tends to downplay the Russian threat to world security. In any case, Russia's "antiquated" Bears are simply one component in a larger airborne delivery system that includes nuke-tipped cruise missiles. Meanwhile, the unveiling of a …
