Future Oil Wars

Increasingly, these world power rivals of the U.S., all united by oil will draw in other anti-U.S. states and create a dangerous axis of anti-American oil powers and states that hate the U.S. And as oil prices still hover near record levels, the amount of vast income generated will only help to fuel the purchase or building of new and more dangerous military hardware by these anti-American oil states.

Peace And Tranquility Still Elusive In Iraq

The American news media has certainly focused far less on Iraq news coverage since "the surge" has resulted in far less deaths of American service persons. Unfortunately viewing this war in a prism of how it impacts only the U.S.,...

The Illogical Bush-McCain Policy Towards Iran

Report Confirms Republican White House Lied About Iraq

GOP Election Plan to go to War with Iran?

Last October I pointed to the Pentagon's funding of a super "bunker-buster" as possible evidence of run-up to a US attack on Iran. The timetable suggested at that time was for a Summer 2008 attack. That's looking even more likely now, in the light of Admiral Fallon's resignation.

Wizbang Blue's Paul Hooson takes a look in his crystal ball at the megatrends that may be triggered by the recent spike in oil prices, the economic downturn in the U.S., China's accelerating inflation rate, the war in Iraq and the prospect of war in Iran, Kosovo's independence and Fidel Castro's resignation.

Iran Continues Crackdown On Democratic Student Opposition

When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ran for president of Iran, he promised improvements for the Iranian economy which have grone mostly unmet, and instead he has been involved in near nonstop political frictions with the U.S. and Western states over the nuclear program in Iran and other issues.
