Obama’s Whirlwind Asian Tour Was An Epic Fail

You know that whole Asian trip Obama took? Well, it was supposed to be a big ol’ “economic mission.” Turns out that he struck out big-time. And hold on – that’s not a right-wing nutjob political blogger saying that. Nor is it Fox News. It’s the lamestream media, everyone. So, according to the left, it must be objective and true. First, ABC News (hats off to Breitbart.com) had some choice words. In fact, they flat-out used a baseball analogy and detailed the three strikes Obama made at bat: Aaaaand, then you have CBS, who called the G-20 summit and Obama’s failure to create 70,000 whole jobs an “embarrassing disappointment.” But the trip ...
Aid Workers Fear Cholera Epidemic May Overwhelm Haitian Hospitals

Haitian hospitals face overcrowding as the cholera epidemic continues to spread through the impoverished country. As of Nov. 12, more than 917 people had died and at least 14,600 had been hospitalized, the Haitian government said Sunday. Health care workers consider those numbers to be understated. The United Nations forecasted up to 200,000 Haitians could contract cholera as the outbreak extends. Aid workers fear the growing numbers may soon overwhelm Haiti’s health care facilities. “In this hospital, because of space constraints, we have to make sure that people can be sent to another place where we can provide better care very fast, so that we can still receive,” ...
U.S. Offers Israel $3 Billion For Illegal Settlement Construction Freeze

(November 15,Tel Aviv, Sri Lanka Guardian) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's seven-member inner cabinet discussed Saturday an offer by the United States to reinstate a freeze on West Bank Settlement construction in return for a package of incentives. Netanyahu presented Saturday the U.S. offer, which was discussed by Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday, to the forum of seven. According to the offer Israel would stop construction in the West Bank for 90 days. The freeze includes construction that began after the end of the first settlement moratorium on September 26. The moratorium would not apply to construction in East Jerusalem. The U.S. will not ask ...

A Justice Department report offers new evidence that the United States created a "safe haven" in America for Nazis and their collaborators following the end of World War II, The New York Times reports. The 600-page report, which the Justice Department has reportedly tried to keep secret, describes the roles of the lawyers, historians and investigators at the agency’s Office of Special Investigations (OSI) in pursuing the most notorious Nazi cases of the past 30 years. According to The Times, the report also details the government’s posthumous pursuit of Dr. Josef Mengele, the German SS officer and physician known as the “Angel of Death”; the former Waffen SS ...

Eric Cantor's Pledge of Allegiance By Glenn Greenwald * (updated below) Soon-to-be GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor met on Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- the same day when the actual U.S. Secretary of State met with Netanyahu -- and vowed that he and his GOP colleagues would protect and defend Israeli interests against his own Government. According to a statement proudly issued by Cantor's own office: Regarding the midterms, Cantor may have given Netanyahu some reason to stand firm against the American administration.

Embarrassment in Seoul

Has there ever been a major economic summit where a U.S. President and his Treasury Secretary were as thoroughly rebuffed as they were at this week's G-20 meeting in Seoul? We can't think of one. President Obama failed to achieve any of his main goals while getting pounded by other world leaders for failing U.S. policies and lagging growth. The root of this embarrassment is political and intellectual: Rather than leading the world from a position of strength, Mr. Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner came to Seoul blaming the rest of the world for U.S. economic weakness. America's problem, in their view, is the export and exchange rate policies of the Germans, Chinese ...
Elections Put Nook-Nosed, Blood-Sucking, Bible Exploiting Pro-Israel Neo-Cons Back On Top

The Republican Party’s takeover of the House of Representatives in the recent election also ushers in a consolidation of pro-Israeli political influence over Congress unlike ever before. Then, too—not coincidentally—it heralds a new era in which secret campaign contributions by big-money interests are now holding sway in an unprecedented way. Exemplifying these new developments is the rapid-fire rise of Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), a deeply religious Orthodox Jew and pro-Israeli “neo-conservative” hard-liner who is expected to be named House majority leader in the forthcoming GOP-controlled Congress. Although the majority leader post is officially the No. 2 slot in ...
Taliban Stealing U.S. Army Uniforms

Pentagon officials are warning commanders not to ship Army uniforms through the usual U.S. supply routes in Pakistan and Afghanistan because Taliban fighters are stealing them to "gain a tactical advantage on the battlefield." In a message obtained by POLITICO, the Pentagon tells Army commanders that certain uniform items should be treated as "sensitive cargo" and flown into Afghanistan, not shipped over land, so they won't be intercepted. “There is evidence that the enemy is using pilfered out-garment uniform items to gain a tactical advantage on the battlefield. We must take every measure to prevent this pilferance,” the message said. “U.S. ...
Council on Foreign Relations Panel Advises Obama To Scale Back Afghan Occupation

Influential US experts on Friday painted a grim picture of the Afghanistan war, calling on President Barack Obama to consider scaling back the military mission without signs of progress. The task force of the Council on Foreign Relations largely backed the Obama administration's plan of intensifying military operations against the Taliban and starting a withdrawal in mid-2011. But the panel -- led by Richard Armitage and Samuel Berger, top aides to presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton -- said the administration needed to take hard decisions after its own highly anticipated war review in December. The task force noted the nine-year-old war's toll at a time of austerity. The ...

Number-two House Republican Eric Cantor and Netanyahu also discussed Iran and the embattled Middle East peace process during an hour-long meeting late Wednesday in New York, the congressman's spokesman Brad Dayspring said in a statement.

Already having been branded a liar by former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, ex-US President George W. Bush's intelligence has now been questioned by Schröder's former spokesman. Uwe-Karsten Heye said on Wednesday that Bush "had no idea about what was going on in the world." Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder is hardly a popular figure in Germany these days. His own party, the Social Democrats, has distanced itself from the reforms he made to the country's welfare system. And his decision to take a post-Chancellery job with a company owned by the Russian state-owned fossil fuels firm Gazprom has been widely criticized. This week, however, he ...
China's Hu Rebuffs Weakened Obama at Summit

SEOUL—President Barack Obama limped toward the close of the Group of 20 summit, weakened by an anemic economic recovery and an election drubbing that has left world leaders questioning U.S. authority. In private meetings with Mr. Obama Thursday, Chinese President Hu Jintao resisted his pressure on currency revaluation. Mr. Obama also failed to secure a free-trade agreement with South Korea by his imposed Thursday deadline, a blow to a U.S. president who has pledged to double U.S. exports over the next five years. The G-20 summit is expected to conclude with a communiqué that papers over differences on fiscal and monetary policy that had burst into the open in the run-up to ...

So much for the British stiff-upper-lip, gentlemanly behavior and London’s ‘wartime spirit’, that pulled this once Great Britain through the darkest of times. One of the stereotypical traits of the Englishman, which some found endearing, others darn frustrating, was their reserve. Indeed, ‘The Equalizer’ could force a New York street gang to give up with just the sound of his well-formed syllables. The scenes of violence and destruction at the heart of London yesterday would have been unthought of not so many years ago.

Now the great Bernanke QE2 debate continues to heat up. In the run-up to the G-20 meetings, China, Russia, Germany and others have all come out against the Federal Reserve's quantitative-easing agenda. They don't want hot-money excess dollars to flow into their higher-yielding currencies. The assault against Bernanke's easy money has reached such fever that President Obama felt it necessary to defend the $600 billion in new-money printing in a news conference in India. Meanwhile, World Bank President Robert Zoellick has actually called for putting gold back into global money, in order to use it as an international reference point to measure market expectations over inflation ...

Hundreds of protesters attending a London rally to oppose the plan later turned riotous and stormed the headquarters of Britain's Conservative Party, smashing windows, clashing with police and bringing chaos to what began as a peaceful demonstration. Nearly 50,000 people gathered for a march organized by Britain's main student and academic unions, the NUS and UCU, to protest the government's plans to allow universities to charge between $9,600 and $14,400 per year in tuition fees. Tuitions are currently capped at $5,264, according to The New York Times. ...

WASHINGTON — President Obama’s criticism of new Israeli housing plans for East Jerusalem, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s even sharper retort, have thrown the Middle East peace talks into jeopardy, with the dispute over Jewish settlements looming as a seemingly insuperable hurdle.

JERUSALEM, Israel - Why would Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu travel to the U.S. while President Obama was out of the country? His latest U.S. visit appears to be part of a broad effort to stem the rising tide of anti-Israel sentiment, which is increasingly embedding itself in America, traditionally Israel's staunchest ally. During several scheduled stops on his U.S. trip, Netanyahu countered the rising anti-Israel propaganda by restating the facts on the ground. His visit began with an hour-long meeting with Vice President Joe Biden Sunday evening in New Orleans, followed on Monday by an address to the Jewish Federations of America's General Assembly.

A mayor-elect from the Mexican state of Veracruz was kidnapped and killed along with two companions on Monday, local media reported. The reports did not link the killings to the violence sweeping Mexico as the government fights powerful drug cartels. Several mayors and other elected officials have been targeted by drug gangs in recent months. Gregorio Barradas Miravete, the mayor-elect from the municipality of Juan Rodriguez Clara, was a member of President Felipe Calderon's National Action Party. The three men were forced into a Hummer truck in the afternoon in the south of Veracruz and were then taken to the neighboring state of Oaxaca, local prosecutors said, according to several ...

Health officials in Haiti are reporting the first confirmed case of cholera in the capital, Port-au-Prince. Authorities have feared the disease, which has already killed at least 544 people in Haiti, could spread into the capital, where hundreds of thousands of people have been living in tent cities since January's earthquake. Residents in the crowded, squalid camps are especially vulnerable to cholera, which is caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water. The outbreak was first reported late last month in the Artibonite region north of the capital, and the disease has spread to half of the Caribbean nation's 10 administrative regions. The health ministry says more than 8,000 ...

Tel Aviv Israel has published plans to build about 1,300 new housing units in East Jerusalem neighborhoods, a move that highlights US-Israeli differences just as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the United States to huddle with Obama administration officials.

Then, as now, Israel played down its significance. But coupled with Mr. Netanyahu's public call on Sunday for the US to create a "credible'' threat of military force against Iran, ...
