Turkey pushes for ground invasion of Syria The potential support for an escalation of the Syrian war has found expression in a concerted propaganda campaign, particularly in Europe, over the deaths of some 50 civilians in attacks on hospitals and schools in northern Syria on Monday. The Western media and several European governments have blamed the deaths on the Syrian government and the Russian forces supporting it, charges that both Damascus and Moscow have denied.

US commander prepared to seek more troops for Afghanistan The Pentagon, the Congress and the White House are once again embroiled in a debate over escalating the US intervention in Afghanistan speaks volumes about the debacle created by over 14 years of war and occupation that has cost more than $1 trillion, and seen more spent on aid than the entire expenditure under the Marshall Plan on the reconstruction of post-World War II Europe.

UN resolution papers over deep divisions on Syria The name "Assad" is not mentioned in the draft resolution, much less any demand that he be removed from office, or, for that matter, that he be defended against foreign powers seeking to overthrow him. Nor does it specify whether the Syrian president would be eligible to run for re-election.

Europe's terror attacks: The blowback from Western intervention Ultimately, attacks like the one carried out on Charlie Hebdo are the product of decades of imperialist intervention in the Middle East. The wars that have devastated one country after another have unleashed a wave of violence that cannot but spill beyond the region. Meanwhile, Washington and its allies promote and work with the very forces involved in these attacks.

The continuing US war in Afghanistan Far from begin concluded, the war is raging. This year has seen a record number of Afghan civilian casualties, topping the 10,000 mark, while Afghan security forces have suffered nearly 5,000 fatalities, more than all the 3,500 foreign soldiers -- including over 2,225 Americans -- who have lost their lives in the 13 years since the US invasion.

After Announcing "normalization" with Cuba, Obama Slaps Sanctions on Venezuela The US has had a difficult time with Venezuela. The left wing administration of Hugo Chavez, who considered Fidel Castro his political mentor, developed a very close relationship with Cuba. US efforts to reconnect to Cuba are not disconnected from Obama signing into law on Thursday legislation imposing a new set of sanctions against Venezuela, the country with the world's largest oil reserves at 297,740 million barrels.

US generals challenge Obama on ground troops in Iraq, Syria The generals are publicly challenging the blanket commitment made by Obama ruling out any US ground war in Iraq or Syria. Over the past several days, both White House and Pentagon spokesmen have issued "clarifying" statements in an attempt to smooth over what increasingly suggests something close to insubordination by the top uniformed brass against the president.

Gaza, Ukraine and the fraud of "human rights" imperialism Israel's Zionist leadership, having failed to suppress the heroic Palestinian resistance, has reacted with demoralized rage, demolishing entire neighborhoods, bombing schools and hospitals, and killing some 1,400 people, 90 percent of them civilians. Yet, the Obama administration insists that no one can be held responsible, save the Palestinians for refusing to capitulate.

Who is responsible for the catastrophes in the Middle East? The US war and occupation destroyed every institution of Iraqi society, while Washington deliberately fomented sectarian divisions as a means of overcoming Iraqi nationalism. All of this was justified with warnings about the imminent threat from "weapons of mass destruction" and ties between Baghdad and Al Qaeda. As the whole world now knows, it was all lies.

Texas executes Mexican national in defiance of international law Tamayo's execution marked the first case since the 2004 World Court ruling in which a Mexican national denied consular rights after his arrest has been put to death with no judicial review whatsoever. After killing Tamayo, Texas is already preparing for its next execution. Susan Basso, who is paralyzed from the chest down and delusional, is scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection on February 5 for a 1998 murder.

Iraq slides toward civil war The pretense that the government is simply engaged in a war on Al Qaeda terrorism has been utilized to secure backing from both Iran and Washington. The latter recently ordered shipments of Hellfire missiles and other advanced weaponry to the Iraqi security forces. Some of these missiles were reportedly used Thursday in the government assault on Fallujah.

US and Iran set to meet at UN The allegations about the Iranian nuclear program have never been anything more than a pretext for aggression against Iran, which is viewed as an obstacle to the imposition of US imperialist hegemony over the oil-rich and strategically critical regions of the Persian Gulf and Central Asia. Whatever negotiations Washington enters into will be aimed at extracting concessions that would further cripple Iran.

The militarization of America What is being upended, behind the scenes and with virtually no media coverage, no public debate, are constitutional principles dating back centuries that bar the use of the military in civilian law enforcement. In the Declaration of Independence itself, the indictment justifying revolution against King George included the charge that he had "affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power."

Karzai reveals US plan for permanent Afghanistan bases Afghan President Hamid Karzai stressed that he was amenable to the US demand to maintain nine military bases after the formal deadline for US withdrawal, indicating that he was willing to trade the bases for promises of a continued flow of economic aid from the West and security for his puppet government. Another likely condition is US support for the election of his handpicked successor in an election set for next year.

Obama signs Pentagon bill maintaining Guantanamo and military detention The shutdown of Guantanamo within one year was Obama's key promise on his first day in the White House. Four years later, 166 detainees remain imprisoned there, the vast majority for a decade without having been accused of any crime, much less brought to trial. The language inserted last year in an attempt to mollify liberal supporters in advance of the 2012 presidential election was seen as no longer necessary.

Moreover, millions of working people in the United States and around the world are confronting far more immediate threats -- mass unemployment, declining living standards, the lack of a future for the youth and the destruction of public education and basic social services.

Washington's real concerns over the Afghanistan atrocity photos The Afghans do not need to see a picture on the front page of the LA Times to hate the foreign occupation of their country, which has lasted for over 10 years and inflicted hundreds of thousands of casualties together with daily humiliation and oppression. The Afghans are living it, not merely reading it in a newspaper.

Obama Justice Department indicts ex-CIA agent for exposing torture The prosecution of Kiriakou is part of a policy of state secrecy and repression that pervades the US government under Obama, who came into office promising "the most transparent administration in history." This marks the sixth government whistleblower to be charged by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act, twice as many such prosecutions as have been brought by all preceding administrations combined.

Afghanistan Massacre: The Product of a Criminal War The only ones who believe the Pentagon's version of the massacre by Staff Sargeant Bales is the Pentagon. But as far as whether there is any chance justice will ever be served in all this the verdict is out.

Drones Come to the U.S. An amendment typically slipped under the radar of most Americans to the 63 B$ Federal Aviation Authority appropriations bill has ominous implications for democratic rights in the United States. The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, clears the way for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or drones. All Americans of every political stripe should be freaking out right about now.

US, Israel Invoke Terror To Ratchet Up War Threats Against Iran Washington and Israel have seized upon a string of abortive bomb plots in India, Georgia and Thailand to escalate war threats against Iran. The reported aim of these attacks has been to sabotage Iran's supposed quest for a nuclear weapon, although Tehran has denied such aims and no evidence has been produced.

Obama, Congress Back Legalization of a Police State Despite the attempts of liberal and pseudo-left groups to promote illusions that Obama would veto the legislation because of concerns over its assault on democratic rights, the Democratic president's only worry was that it might call into question the sweeping powers that he and his predecessor, George W. Bush, have already seized.

Obama's crocodile tears over Egypt's violence Who do they think they are kidding? For 30 years, US administrations, Democratic and Republican alike, including that of Obama, have backed Mubarak precisely because of his ability to impose policies supported by Washington against the overwhelming opposition of the Egyptian people. That this required systematic and relentless violence was well understood.

US indictment of WikiLeaks founder said to be imminent Both the Swedish case―which was dropped because of its patently spurious character and then reinstated―and the denial of bail in Britain are inconsistent with normal legal practices. They suggest that actions taken against Assange are aimed at using the sex charges as a pretext for meting out political punishment and giving Washington time to concoct its own frame-up and present its own extradition request.

Given the unprecedented and shameful public outcry by leading American politicians and media figures for Assange to be declared an "enemy combatant" or "terrorist" and "taken out" or "assassinated," not only would his ability to get a fair trial in the US be excluded, but his very survival would be in doubt.

It further argues that the latest terror scare "underscores how crucial it is that US intelligence be able to eavesdrop on email and phone conversations" without having to obtain a warrant.
