In the same vein, I couldn't help but be reminded of a report from a year ago April about Russian electronics and the Donald C. Cook. http://northerntruthseeker.blogspot.ca/2014/04/th...

Hadn't seen too much comment about it anywhere since. Could it be an Onion tale or just too scary to report?

There have been several AW articles on this attack in recent days but we have yet to see any mention of the highly public and vocal opposition of Doctors Without Borders(MSF) to aspects of the trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). That mostly secret trade agreement has also been a big news item recently. They claim that the poor they serve in impoverished countries will suffer and/or die because of extreme medicine costs as a result of extending the US pharmaceutical drug test/approval/intellectual property system to large areas of the world. https://www.corbettreport.com/the-trans-pacific-p...

Prof. Rozeff had an article on the LRC blog yesterday which noted some aspects of the AC-130 gunship capabilities. This was not a young J. McCain roaming about over jungle shooting wildly in a fighter. MSF provided, to whomever was directing this fiasco, the GPS coordinates for their hospital, not that this would be new information for them. And the gunship operated for more than an hour over the hospital in a city in which it could locate every stray cat and fill it full of holes. https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/sorting-out-...

At the risk of sounding paranoid, can we guess at what level of what organization this action might have originated?

Though it difficult to attribute, in my 70 years I have often seen the following associated with major events: 'It is an axiom of practical politics never to believe anything until it has been officially denied.'

These judges are like John Dillinger, or was it Babyface Nelson, who made the 'procedural decision' to rob banks because 'that's where the money is.' They are part of the same gang.

Did he mention if it would be an expensive war? Without the approval of CONgress he must be paying for this out of his own pocket, perhaps with a few friends kicking in some bucks. And we don't want to see our President in a threadbare suit, do we?

The negativity of comments towards our protectors in Washington, even on antiwar.com, will change when the President finally convinces Dubya to sharpen his saber, round up a horse or two and a few thousand invincible former drinking buddies, and join Mr. O with his similar friends(including a thousand Amazons from State), in a new crusade. We can be sure both these warriors are still in the excellent fighting trim they have always displayed on various battlefields. Perhaps even the aging Cheney Khan could grab his shotgun and join in. The Middle East (as well as this time America) will be saved then as surely as it was by Richard the lion-heart centuries ago.
These champions will not make settlements as Richard did with that raghead wuss Saladin. A deee..mocracy demands unconditional surrender cuz that is what the people want - then we can all get back to perfessional sexy reality rasslin on the TV and Youtube.

Such success! Let's wish NATO more "enhanced opportunity" towards its self-destuction.

Obama I (The Lionheart), fearless leader of the Christian West, should no doubt soon be facing off with Saladin al-Baghdadi of ISIS in personal combat. Might be an interesting match. I hope it's on pay-per-view so that we can afford some of the stage costs.

Is it more than a week now since this city siege by an army against threatened locals began? Must be an indication that the same military planners that pacified Iraq are directing. Reminds me of Josephus' 'Wars of the Jews' description of the siege of various Galilean towns against their "terr'ists". Could get really ugly.
