2007-10-22 18:29 Vägen mot ett Irankrig
Värd att läsa i sin helhet för de som läser engelska. Visar om inte annat hur 'true belivers' i vita huset gång på gång sagt nej till förhandlingar med Iran och till otaliga fredsförslag från olika arabstater när det gäller Israel-Palestina. Intressant är även Israels roll i den amerikanska mellanöstern politiken. När Sharon sade nej var detta också ett nej från Bush administrationen. Vice-president Cheney och Rumsfeld framgår också som de verkliga arkitekterna bakom Bush administrationens utrik …

2007-10-16 18:04 Om de komplicerade förhållandet mellan Iran och USA
Från Steven Clemons alltid intressant blog. Många i Sverige tycker ju tro på myten att USA och Iran enbart är bittra fiender. När det gällde projektet att avlägsna saddam fanns det ju även ett inofficiellt samarbete med Chalabi som mellanhand. Det kryllade ju även av Iranska underättelseagenter hos kurderna när Chalabi hade sitt högkvartet där 95-96. Att det sedan var Iran som ville ha ett formaliserade av relationer gör det hela ännu mer intressant. The Washington Note Under Clinton, relations …

2007-10-14 16:56 Jim Golby, Army Captain: Getting Iraq To Work
I was going to add this to my previous piece showing the good news coming out of Iraq, but after reading the whole 2 pages article, I thought it deserved its own piece .Let me start with the money quote here: And, for once, it really seems to be about Iraqi freedom. Jim Golby is an Army captain on his second tour of duty in Iraq and he has a story to tell, one that isn't seen in the death tolls, isn't seen in the media coverage of Iraq and isn't addressed in the news these days. It is the story …

RJ Hillhouse takes another step into the big time by posting on Danger Room. Go you! "It is not a cost overrun. It is an additional contract requirement ." No word yet on when the U.S. Vatican/Embassy in Baghdad might be open for occupancy. So Ryan Crocker can't inhabit his 16,000 sq. ft. mansion just y …

As the deadline approaches for official assessments of American policy in Iraq, the Bush administration is maintaining a steady barrage of diversions, obfuscations and manipulations. These great clouds of smoke, emanating from Washington's think tanks and the mainstream media as well as the press offices of the White House and the Pentagon, have a single purpose: to blind us to objective realities so that the war can continue indefinitely. The arguments change but the underlying style remains th …

At an Asia-Pacific summit, Bush gave no indication that he planned to reverse the buildup of 30,000 extra U.S. troops anytime soon. That increase is set to end in the spring, and while some troop adjustments could be on the horizon, B …
