President Bush Backs Israeli Plan for Strike on Iran

By Uzi Mahnaimi in Washington

Despite the opposition of his own generals and widespread scepticism that America
is ready to risk the military, political and economic consequences of an airborne
strike on Iran, the president has given an “amber light” to an Israeli plan to attack
Iran’s main nuclear sites with long-range bombing sorties, the official told The
Sunday Times.

Amber Alert!

Get Ready For War

By Justin Raimondo

The Israelis, in concert with their amen corner in the U.S., have been engaged in
a propaganda blitz targeting Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program, the whole point
of which is not to pressure the Iranians into backing down, but to force the U.S.
to take action in lieu of the Israelis going it alone.

Iran: Battlefront In The New World War?

By Firmin DeBrabander

Iran is no third front in the War on Terror. War with Iran is a step beyond, to
a new global conflict- a new Cold War, in a way- where the US plays its cards (in
this case, the largest military in the world) to frustrate its opponents indirectly.

Enabling Tyranny

By Paul Craig Roberts

If the President doesn’t like an existing law, he ignores it. If the President doesn’t

Betancourt Update

Is This the Beginning of Columbia’s Leftward Shift?

By Mike Whitney

Columbia is America’s last right-wing outpost in the hemisphere. There’s a good
chance that it will be swept along by the leftist current that has overtaken most

and let the tide rush in.
