Military Headline News: $60B Blown on Iraq Projects with Little to Show, Caregivers on Own

NOVANEWS Military Headline News Rick Rogers, Military Headline News    You sure don’t get much for $60 billion anymore. That’s what John Q. Public spent construction projects in Iraq during 10 years of occupation. But what did all that bread buy us? Not nearly enough, concludes the final report on Iraq reconstruction. Oh, in case you were wondering, the U.S. has sunk $90 billion — that’s 90 large — into in Afghanistan. Know all those high-energy drinks in those day-glow bottles that promise to get you through the day? Well, a senior military doctor worries about their caffeine levels wants them banned from bases. According to one study, about 45 percent of combat troops drink at least one energy cocktail a day; and 1 in 7 drink three or more.  Here is a sobering report. Possi...

Iraq Failed State Run by Gangsters /Arabic

صحف: بعد عشرة اعوام من الغزو.. العراق دولة فاشلة تحكمه العصابات والقبلية والطائفية المالكي تحول الى ديكتاتور لكنه لا يسيطر الا على نصف البلاد.. وبعض من حاربوا صدام يشعرون بالندم لندن 'القدس العربي' ـ اعداد ابراهيم درويش: عشرة اعوام مضت على الغزو الامريكي للعراق وانهيار نظام الرئيس صدام حسين، لكن العراق يعيش في ازمة: فساد وانقسام وتفكيك وديكتاتورية وطائفيةـ وبغداد لا تزال اكثر مدن العالم خطورة ولم تتغير على الرغم من 100 مليار دولار هي عائدات النفط العراقي. في عراق ما بعد الاحتلال الامريكي لا يتجاوز عمل المسؤول اليومي سوى 17 دقيقة، ويحلم فيه الجيل الشاب بالخروج من البلاد، ويمارس فيه رئيس الوزراء نوري المالكي سلطات مطلقة، وانتشار للتعذيب واساليب القمع للاطراف المعارضة. ويتساءل الكثير من العراقيين عن مشاريع اعمار ما بعد الحرب، 7 مليارات دولار خصصت لاصلاح بنية المجاري الصحية. وعندما هطل...

Don’t mention the Iraq war, William Hague tells cabinet

NOVANEWS Tory foreign secretary’s directive not to discuss legality of war ahead of 10th anniversary sparks anger from Liberal Democrats guardian.co.uk William Hague has provoked a bitter row within the coalition by privately writing to other members of the cabinet urging them not to discuss the case for, or the legality of, the Iraq war in the runup to the 10th anniversary of the invasion later this month, the Guardian can reveal. In a confidential letter, the foreign secretary told senior members of the government they should not be drawn on the controversial issues that drew the UK into a politically divisive conflict that led to the death of almost 200 British troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis. But the instruction from Hague last week has infuriated Liberal Democrat ministers wi...

Debate over Camp Liberty in UK parliament

NOVANEWS Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Non-affiliated) My Lords, is it not time that the Government made a judgment, based on first-hand evidence such as that produced by the ex-UNAMI chief Tahar Boumedra, and ignored the manipulation and dissembling by Martin Kobler on behalf of the Secretary-General of the United Nations? If the United Kingdom is to maintain its integrity and influence in the Middle East, we should be pressing for the dismissal of Herr Kobler and, indeed, be asking ourselves, with our allies, whether the present Secretary-General of the United Nations has not outlived his usefulness. Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) My Lords, considering that many of the complaints that are made by the residents of Camp Liberty and, indeed, Camp Ashraf, against the Iraqi authoriti...

Iraq war promoter)Former Bush State Department Legal Adviser

NOVANEWS (ZIONIST) John Bellinger Endorses a Not-Legal Military Intervention in Syria Former Bush State Department Legal Adviser John Bellinger has a complicated op-ed arguing that the U.S. should be prepared to intervene militarily in Syria, even if its intervention is not strictly legal. His argument is complicated because he rejects the idea that any intervention in Syria now, even with the agreement of the Syrian Opposition, would violate existing international law. The escalating death toll in Syria, which exceeds 60,000, has increased pressure on President Barack Obama to do more to help the Syrian opposition. But traditional legal rules that protect international peace and security constrain the president’s options. Although the administration recognized the Syrian Opposi...

U.S. Playing Iraq and Kurdistan

NOVANEWS U.S. shore up its waning influence in Iraq by bolstering Kurdish superiority By Zayd Alisa Iraq, on the first anniversary of US withdrawal, is struggling to cope with, not merely a raging sectarian crisis between the Shia-led Central Government (CG) and an increasingly resentful Sunni-minority, but more alarmingly an ethnic crisis with a heavily armed and increasingly defiant Kurdish Regional Government (KRG). Although, Obama, USA president for a second term, strived to put a positive spin on the US withdrawal from Iraq by explicitly emphasising that it was nothing more than fulfilling his pledge. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that Obama’s administration tried its utmost to convince the Iraqi government to grant its forces immunity from prosecution. More importantly, the Iraqi p...
