outraged. Islamic clerics insisted that only Israelis could be so
cold-blooded. And who was in charge of US forces in Fallujah at the time?
None other than Major General Natonski, the Mossad liaison. 2006 a story
made its rounds through the internet and the worlds media that Israel
snipers were killing U.S. Troops in Iraq and pinning the blame on
“insurgents” in order to enrage American troops so that the slaughter
continued. Rafael company, an Israeli arms manufacturer, that also makes
IEDs, “insurgents” (i.e., CIA/Mossad agents) know exactly where US vehicles
will be and who will be inside them.  This allows them to target for
maximum false flag effect. An American soldier even set up a blog on how
“Intel” is betraying and targeting US troops. The blog has long since been
taken down.-CIA tried to recruit Navy Vet, Whistle Blower, and Brown
Supporter, Cirino Gonzalez to do such work, and he told them Hell NO! Now
he sits as a political prisoner in Phoenix AZ-Mossad and the CIA are 2

catastrophe of biblical proportions, the IMF said the outlook for global
commodities is looking "pretty grim." It warns that the price of oil and
other commodities are expected to decline this year and next on the back of

Spain becomes like Greece/Loan write down - question-Your statements are
too sophisticated for the simple-minded Ideologues and dilatant peddlers of
partisan spins and misinformation-Banks were at fault, but the fact is many
of the homeowners are just as guilty. Many of the ones that had homes took
out seconds and thirds for vacations and toys. And the ones that bought
homes bought much more than they could afford, and many of them purposely
lied on the application to qualify. I feel bad for people who have lost
jobs and couldn't afford their mortgages, but we are talking about a crap
load of people who bought more than they could afford because "real estate
always go up and up forever"-If guidelines could be established to
determine who exactly qualifies, then maybe principal reduction would have
a better chance. This would set a precedence for fairness for all the
reasons you mentioned. But how possible would it be to segregate
people who really deserve it from people who got into trouble because of
their reckless and selfish financial behavior?-"The banks accepted his
"lied" figures without any due diligence whatsoever", They both, bank and
borrower, winked winked at each other and both are to blame. Do you
actually blame the guy who accepted the lie more than the guy that lied??
Are you that much of a liberal where it is NEVER your fault even when you
lied? -confident your irrational explanation would contradict all logic, as
well as present opposing rationale for the bank penalties that they

Washington's Iran Policy Could Lead to Global Disaster, a policy fierce
enough to cause great suffering among Iranians - and possibly in the long

led by Washington will not take down the Iranian government or bring it to
the bargaining table on its knees ready to surrender its nuclear program.

their fists for what they believe in. Let's give them the credit they

amongst occupiers, a group famously apprehensive about liberal
organizations, especially ones that have exhibited close ties with the
Democratic Party. Chief among suspicious organizations is MoveOn ... This
anxiety raises a number of obvious questions. In what sense is this a
co-optation? Which component is Occupy Wall Street entitled to but the 99%
Spring coalition not? That percentage? The season? The idea of direct
action training?"-Roughly half of the wealthiest Americans inherited all or
much of their wealth, and the United States ranks near the bottom of rich
countries in terms of intergenerational mobility. What's more, the vast
majority of inherited wealth goes entirely untaxed. Under current law,
heirs can inherit an estate of up to $5 million without paying a cent in
federal taxes. In fact, it's likely that a sizable portion of that income
was never taxed in the first place-Self-Dealing and the War Service
Industry, explore the cronyism and self-dealing with the other major
military service contract in Iraq, the Restore Iraq Oil (RIO) contract, and
the brave woman whistleblower who also refused to go along and allow KBR to
break contract rules to enrich themselves, but was thwarted in her efforts
to do the right thing on behalf of the troops and the country. In examining
this contract, we see the same favoritism toward KBR (Halliburton) that
occurred with LOGCAP contract-it may sound surprising that a former
Democratic Party chairman would encourage corporations to donate to
Republicans, [Howard] Dean's advice makes sense considering his job as a
