Russia's Latest War Could Impact The U.S.

Motorists this week could wake up to some sharply increased oil prices once again as war between Russia and the much smaller pro-Western Republic of Georgia worsens and impacts nearby oil supplies to Europe and the U.S. And the pro-Western...

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.

The Illogical Bush-McCain Policy Towards Iran

It's certainly disturbing news that Congress approved a $400 million dollar budget for the U.S. to pay for more covert action within Iran. And it's certainly disturbing news that the absurd shared foreign policy of Bush and McCain is built...

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.

The Iraq War & The Collapse Of Empire America

In 1991, the old Soviet Union collapsed after overextending it's military in the Afghanistan quagmire, rampant military spending coming at the expense of social spending, and serious inflation that had destroyed the average Russian consumer's buying power. Today, under the leadership of the Bush Administration all signs are that the United States may well be on the way to joining the same scrap heap of history, and is well on the road to the eventual collapse as a major world empire.

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.

Oil November 2000: $28 A Barrel. Oil March 2008: $106 A Barrel. Replacing The Bush-Oil Industry Plutocracy: Priceless!

In the highly disputed November 2000 election, the oil industry interests, which were the major supporters of buying the Bush Administration into power and creating an oil industry-run plutocratic form of government in the U.S., were able to get their way on a wide range of tax and environmental issues dealing with the oil industry as well as allowed to develop the foreign policy that created the drive to war in Iraq. Yet oil prices did not fall as result of all of this. Oil actually increased from $28 a barrel in November 2000 to topping $106 a barrel at one point in Friday's commodity trading

Study Suggests Global Warming Could Spark Conflicts

This should make the right wing Iraq War apologists happy... they'd have new reasons to keep on wearing their camouflage pajamas... Changes in climate, such as temperature and rainfall, can significantly alter the availability of crops, livestock and drinking water....

A Conservative Case Against War

AntiWar.com commentary: The fetishization of all things martial by the bulk of 21st-century conservatives is inescapable and worrisome. Whether it's rapturous warmongering in the pages of The Weekly Standard or embarrassing displays of machismo on the part of our president-cum-fighter...
