Solidarity Online » Moore’s condemnation of capitalism falls flat

  • Moore is no revolutionary.  He wants to propel people onto the streets, but only to “get Obama’s back” so he can implement the “kinder and gentler society” Moore believes he really wants.  But that’s not a criticism of the movie.  If he can motivate millions onto the streets, it won’t be up to him what we demand

كلينتون تُطلق رصاصة الموت على السلام | جريدة الأخبار

  • أطلقت وزيرة الخارجية الأميركية هيلاري كلينتون، خلال محادثاتها مع الجانبين الإسرائيلي والفلسطيني بشأن استئناف المفاوضات بين الطرفين، أمس، رصاصة الموت على مطالبة الفلسطينيين بوقف الاستيطان شرطاً للتفاوض، معلنة تأييدها الموقف الإسرائيلي نحو السير في مفاوضات من دون شروط.

Clinton praises Israel for 'unprecedented' concessions - washingtonpost.com

  • The chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said the plan would have excluded about 3,000 Israeli housing units under construction and would not have applied to East Jerusalem -- thus falling well short of what has become a firm Palestinian demand for resuming direct talks with Israel.

    Those comments and others seemed to mark a final departure from early U.S criticism with Israel over settlements, which ultimately served to bolster Netanyahu with the Israeli public even as it raised -- unrealistically, as it turned out -- Palestinian expectations that a building freeze was in the offing.

The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب: Obama is stuck in the folly of his policies

  • Obama is stuck. If he sends 20,000 more troops, conservative will say: he did not send enough troops. If he did not send additional troops, his critics will say that he is abandoning the mission and reversing course when he argued throughout his campaign that the war in Afghanistan is a war of necessity. Obama will not win, and he will be exposed as the a replica of Bush in foreign policy. In fact, if you look at it: Obama deviated very little from the path of Bush-Cheney in defense and national security.

Obama meets with top generals

  • The president appears committed to adding at least 10,000 to 15,000 troops to Afghanistan in an effort to bolster the training of Afghan Army and police officers in the country. Current plans call for the U.S. to double the size of the Army and police to about 400,000 in the hope that they can take over security responsibilities from the U.S.
  • In contrast to Iraq, where there was significant dissension on whether or not to deploy an additional 30,000 troops in 2007, the top brass have been mostly united in the support of McChrystal's call for more troops in Afghanistan.
