JULY 18-- Syrian rebels led by CIA and US special forces were able to assassinate three senior officials of President Bashar Assad's regime, targeted by NATO and the UN for Obama's TM Change, which we now can believe means "Regime Change". But news headlines today also tell of 24 NATO fuel tankers set alight in Afghanistan, by a Taliban insurgency of undetermined US backing, of course US contractors now get to sell NATO replacement tankers, AND elsewhere in occupation news, US auditors report $8 billion squandered in Iraq, although total spent, minus reconstruction achieved, probably yields far more billions than that. Meaning more growth opportunity for the US war industry, at Cost Plus. Unless cost squandered means plus should be refunded.

Kofi Annan troops to Moscow on behalf of the Pentagon
Poor Kofi, it is not easy being the head of the 'United Nations' brigade of the US military. Here he is, trooping off to Moscow pleading with Putin to allow the Pentagon to continue to try to smash up the Assad government in Syria. Annan Finds Mild Response in Russia on Syria. 'Russia, Help us out here!' must have been Kofi's plea. 'Mild Response in Russia'? The Pentagon propagandists really know how to be mealy with their words, don't they? Here below was the actual response to Annan, which was basically to tell Kofi to go to Hell! 'Russia supports a simple three-month extension of the observers' mandate. Western powers want language that could open the door to military action by outsiders. In Russia, that topic is taboo. Fyodor Lyukanov, editor of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, says the Putin government will not budge. “There is a red line which Russia will never cross. I will say never. This is legitimization of any kind of outside intervention, military intervention in Syria,” Lyukanov said.' Will Russia stand firm against the new Pentagon aggressions in the Middle East? That still waits to be seen....
Colonel Gaddafi meets his killer-to-be. Would you have shaken that hand? I’m talking about Obama’s.
Can you match this for a haunting image? There's Colonel Gaddafi and President Obama, two years ago. I suppose the Tea Party would pretend they were pals. Why wouldn't they be, both are misunderstood weirdos, both were espoused rescuers of their respective peoples. Where similarities end, the rivalry is epic. One the protector of Africa and the unaligned world, the other its despoiler. One perhaps rendered timid with age, bombed into submission, his own daughter killed by an extrajudicial US assassination attempt, the other his future killer. I look at this image and reflect on the author of the Little Green Book, ideology for the Libyan renaissance, whose recent pitiless murder was videotaped and televised from all angles. Others might look more soberly at President Barack Obama, skilled comfort giver, who we've come to see shows no reticence for killing thousands sight unseen, but here he's looking his mark straight in the face. What's Obama saying with that handshake? I'm not sure Obama's eye contact is going to have the effect it used to.
Obama must leave power so that a new political process can begin that reflects the aspirations of the American people
How would Americans feel to hear a foreign state department proclaim that the USA needs a regime change, that Obama must step down, or it will be up to the American people to rise against their rogue warmongering empire and reclaim their democracy? Can we do it before nations begin bombing us for our own protection?
Land mines, IEDs & children as soldiers
OOOH... Just by a Bizarre co-inky-dink, Helmand province is the one closest to Iran. Not ONE major city in the whole place. Not a Rich Area. The Army also put out a report of a U.S. soldier being killed by an Improvised Explosive Device. His job? MURDERING PEOPLE WITH EXPLOSIVE DEVICES. He was a mortar gunner. The IED that killed him was more than likely made from either an American or Soviet Mortar. The unexploded ordnance is a high-value salvage item. It also kills farmers in their fields, especially the kids because they don't know better, yet. There's also the mines set by the Soviets and even some ancient hardware set by the British available. Also which target KIDS more than anybody else. The land mines that the U.S. refuses to sign on to a comprehensive and enforceable Ban thereof. Because killing KIDS is less expensive. The U.S., under the direction of Reagan, Bush the Elder and Bush the Incredibly Obtuse, also kept refusing to ratify in Security council, actually using their Arbitrary Veto Power to keep it from being ratified, not only the Land Mines treaty but also the ban on Child Soldiers. One of the U.S. ambassadors to the U.N., Shirley "Curly Shirley" Temple Black, former Child Star, explained that having a ban on Children as soldiers would mean the Army wouldn't be able to recruit in High Schools (They've also been putting their recruiters on Middle School and Elementary School campus, and at every Child oriented public event that catches their nasty attention) that JROTC, Young Marines, and even Scouting would be banned because, in the words of the Former Child Star, they're Paramilitary Groups. All this "one-off" TARGETING of American kids is just a sick reflection of the targeting of children in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now, if the War Pigs have their way, Iran. Sure, they'll get some grown ups too, and some of them will be armed. Armed with weapons provided by United States weapons corporations, who are by another Bizarre Co-inky-dink the major beneficiaries of the Generosity of the Pentagoons. Don't make me break out the pictures of kids with their legs arms and faces blown off by American firepower.
