Russian Government Efforts To Promote Mideast Peace Ignored By American Media

The American media has been running with the border security conflict news story between Georgia and Russia the last few days and unfortunately inspiring new Cold War tensions as a result. Perhaps even the slight surge of support for John...

John McCain's High Risk Foreign Policy

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.

British Troops Stop Withdrawal To Bolster Embattled Iraqi Government

For the $500 billion dollar cost of this war in Iraq, the U.S. really hasn't achieved very much so far. The weak central government only survives from day to day with strong U.S. support. That's the honest truth.

Civilian Deaths In Iraq Up 33%

Wizbang Blue's Paul Hooson asks: Does the American public really want to buy a used war from John McCain? No doubt candidate John McCain will be running for president on some "surge is working" myth platform. However it was not that long ago that the same John McCain took a photo-opt trip to an Iraqi market and claimed how "safe" it now was in Iraq to shop, not bothering to mention that nearly 100 American Apache helicopters and about 2,000 soldiers had helped to secure the area just enough for McCain to get a few pictures for political propaganda purposes.

Iran Ready To Pick Up Broken Pieces Of U.S. Iraq Policy

Unfortunately, Iran only continues to prove itself to be the big winner of the failed U.S. policy efforts in Iraq. New meetings with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have apparently cemented a firmer relationship that...
