Outlook for Peace Dim if Perry Elected President
(9 comments) If the election comes down to a choice between incumbent Obama and Gov. Perry next year Americans who stand for peace and oppose the military-industrial complex will have no candidate to represent them.

The Pentagon Rules America: Militarism and the Crisis of the Civilian Economy
(7 comments) The Pentagon spends more for war than all 50 states spend for all peaceful purposes; the Pentagon's armed forces are bigger than the next dozen countries combined; the Pentagon leads the world in arms sales; and the Pentagon operates 800 overseas bases for "defense" when, in fact, they are used, like Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, for aggression.

Commentary: Impeach Obama Now
(3 comments) Worse than anything Obama has done or not done domestically, are the illegal wars he's waging across Asia and Africa, several of which he inherited from the preceding criminal in the Oval Office and to which he might have made a speedy end. Americans can never put right the destruction and death we have wrought in recent years. Sadly, we are not even thinking about it.

Petraeus at the Head of the CIA: Business as Usual?
The real issues concerning the CIA are not the management issues about which David Ignatius writes. They are the life-and-death issues about the CIA's toxic poisoning of American values. The Agency has become precisely what President Harry Truman feared when he signed its enabling legislation: "an American Gestapo."

Troops Obama Are Withdrawing Have Been Replaced By Allies
(1 comments) If the tide of war is "receding," as Mr. Obama claims, why are civilian casualties there at an all-time high? Since Obama took office, UK's Guardian reports, total Afghan civilian deaths have soared. In 2008, under President Bush, in his last year in office they were 2,118; in 2009, they rose to 2,412; and last year they rose again to 2,777. Does this sound to you like the war is winding down?

Secret Wars Of CIA Cost U.S. Taxpayers Billions Of Dollars
Should it be a surprise that after years of busting labor unions from El Salvador to Iraq, US politicians are attempting to do the same Stateside? Is it surprising that after denying millions of people the world over their fundamental right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, the US Congress has extended the Patriot Act and Obama has assumed kingly powers, including the right to arrest anyone and throw away the key?

Is it US Strategy to Wage Perpetual War in Afghanistan?
(12 comments) Americans must consider the possibility that when candidate Obama conveyed the impression he favored withdrawing U.S. troops in 2011 that that perhaps was never his real intention at all. This president may not be a captive of the CIA but he is a former CIA employee and enables the CIA's role in the Middle East.

U.S. Doctors Approved Torture And Denied Medicine To Captives

Ridding America Of The Warmongers
(3 comments) People power can overcome power politics. Popular movements have succeeded in toppling tyrannical, dictatorial, and authoritarian regimes in former Communist countries throughout Eastern Europe as well as in Asia, Latin America, and recently in the Middle East. It is time for Americans to exercise people power here in the United States.

No Chance Obama's War in Afghanistan Will Succeed
(5 comments) If Afghans are dying by the thousands and Pakistanis have become refugees by the millions to ensure Obama's political survival, the U.S. has lost any vestige of moral authority. Is it thinkable to ask what if the purpose of the war is not "victory" but to keep the engines of the military-industrial complex humming?

U.S. Presses Pakistan on Securing Nukes
(1 comments) It's not chickens coming home to roost but possibly nuclear weapons whose global spread America once encouraged that is haunting the Obama administration.

Monday, November 2, 2009
Obama Resumes Bush's Extraordinary Renditions
(1 comments) With some modifications, President Obama, the former CIA front organization employee, is continuing the "extraordinary renditions" long favored by the CIA, just as he is authorizing the CIA-favored drone warplane attacks. And Obama's CIA Director Leon Panetta says it's okay for other countries to prosecute suspects under their laws as "an appropriate use of rendition." Whatever happened to legal extradition?

Chomsky Gets Top Pentagon "Honor"

Obama Steps Up Killer Drone Raids Despite Civilian Deaths
(4 comments) President Obama is at the helm of an expanded assassination program---an activity the U.S. deplored only a few short years ago. The targets may be those the Pentagon and CIA define as bad guys but apparently scores, or hundreds, of civilians are being killed as well. Obama has greatly ramped up the killings George W. Bush began. Obama began sanctioning CIA strikes his 3rd day in office. Change we can believe in?

Prosecuting Bush and Cheney Could Spare Future Generations
(3 comments) Every president since Truman has abused the democratic process in the conduct of foreign affairs. As Eisenhower was not punished for the overthrow of Iran, Kennedy was not punished for the Bay of Pigs and LBJ was not punished for Viet Nam, ad nauseum. Putting Bush & Co. on trial now could save future generations from even more ghastly wars.

Obama Says King Paved His Way, But King Would Reject Obama's Wars
