US AGGRESSIONS AGAINST IRAN & VENEZUELA

NOVANEWS The US is Simultaneously Preparing to Launch Aggressions Against Iran and Venezuela, says writer August 6, 2010 by Michael Leon Obama, Iran and Venezuela By Nil Nikandrov – in http://en.fondsk.ru/ The Colombian government voiced a new round of allegations that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is secretly supporting the FARC and ELN guerrilla movements in Colombia and giving shelter to their leaders. Venezuela reacted harshly – Chavez severed the diplomatic ties with Colombia, and the Organization of American States had to hold an urgent meeting on July 22 on Colombia’s request. This was the third time this year that the administration of Alvaro Uribe leveled such charges at Caracas and claimed to possess solid evidence that leftist groups are operating from the territory of...

DON'T FORGET THAT TODAY IS HIROSHIMA DAY

NOVANEWS From the mound, Mr Tanimoto saw an astonishing panorama. Not just a patch of Koi, as he expected, but as much of Hiroshima as he could see through the clouded air was giving off a thick, dreadful miasma. Clumps of smoke, near and far, had begun to push up through the general dust. He wondered how such extensive damage could have been dealt out of a silent sky; even a few planes, far up, would have been audible. Houses nearby were burning, and when huge drops of water the size of marbles began to fall, he half thought that they must be coming from the hoses of firemen fighting the blazes. (They were actually drops of condensed moisture falling from the turbulent tower of dust, heat, and fission fragments that had already risen miles into the sky above Hiroshima.)The lot of Drs Fu...

PAKISTAN: IDIOTS DON'T WEAR HORNS

NOVANEWS Sohail Parwaz: A Three No-Trump to the Three Idiots August 6, 2010 by Raja Mujtaba Three No Trump Hand in Bridge By: Sohail Parwaz It has become a fashion to talk about the fate and fortune of Pakistan every now and then and every here and there. Ever since the genesis of this land of crisis the ‘well wishers’ have a lost sleep for it. The ‘earnest’ aficionado is Pakistan’s neighbour India who started dreaming about its dismemberment from the day one, followed by a flock of Odysseuses from the West, the pseudo think tanks and the intellectuals. Balkanizing Pakistan isn’t a new idea at all. Those who really know that how dominating, dictating and tenable the existence of Pakistan is, have a reason to have a lost sleep. Many of them are still in their trainee diapers yet they cl...

AFGHANISTAN: TIGHTENS RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

NOVANEWS Afghanistan War: Petraeus Tightens Rules of Engagement August 6, 2010 by Michael Leon By Jason Motlagh In his first tactical directive since assuming command of international forces in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus doubled down on the orders imposed by his predecessor that put a premium on protecting civilians first to win their support. For months those rules of engagement, formulated by General Stanley McChrystal, have led to rank-and-file grumblings by U.S. soldiers. The servicemen say that the strict rules put them in greater danger, even as they aim to avoid civilian casualties. The grumbling is unlikely to diminish with the new directives that Petraeus issued on Wednesday. The renewed call for a disciplined use of force – plus added restrictions – were not what mo...

LEBANESE ARMY NO LONGER WORKING FOR ZIONIST

NOVANEWS August 05, 2010 Gideon Levy has an informative piece in Ha'aretz today about the sheer hypocrisy of Israel's dealings with the natives and neighbours of Palestine: And now that we've recited ad nauseum the explanations of Israel Defense Forces propaganda for what happened Tuesday at the northern border, the facts should also be looked at. On Tuesday morning, Israel requested "coordination" with UNIFIL to carry out another "exposing" operation on the border fence. UNIFIL asked the IDF to postpone the operation, because its commander is abroad. The IDF didn't care. UNIFIL won't stop us. At noon the tree-cutters set out. The Lebanese and UNIFIL soldiers shouted at them to stop. In Lebanon they say their soldiers also fired warning shots in the air. If they did, it didn't stop the IDF...
