The top-secret RQ-170 Sentinel drone, which was used by Washington as part of the covert operations the US officials have already vowed to conduct inside Iran, was hunted down by an electronic ambush and landed with a minimal degree of damage over the city of Kashmar about 140 miles inside Iran.

James Morris Discusses Planned U.S. - Israeli War Games

Playing war games with war criminals... a step in the wrong direction for U.S. troops.

(SALEM) - In the video below, Political Analyst and Correspondent James Morris in Los Angeles, talks to Press TV about scheduled U.S.-Israeli war games that will take place in 2012.

The 'war games' are obviously a move designed to raise tension with Iran and prove to the world that the U.S. not only participates in terrible war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan; but that it specifically and openly condones Israel's rampant war crimes, where accountability for crimes is less than zero.

`Israel seeks to entangle US in Iran war`

"Israel is calling the shots and they know that Obama doesn't really want to go to war with Iran but if Israel strikes Iran first..." - James Morris

Israel is in possession of a large arsenal of nuclear warheads that are undeclared and illegal under international law; they were provided many years ago by primarily the United States government.

News from US Citizens Against Fascism.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - In 1933 Prescott Bush, who made the Bush fortune in Nazi Germany, attempted a Fascist coup in the United States on behalf of himself and various corporations.

Report Calls Security at Israel`s Nuclear Reactor `Severely Deficient`

Israel refuses to acknowledge possessing an arsenal of nuclear weapons as part of an official policy of "nuclear ambiguity."

(JERUSALEM Xinhua) - Security arrangements at the Dimona nuclear reactor have been "severely deficient" for years, making Israel's super-secret desert facility vulnerable to a breach, the Israel Hayom daily reported Tuesday.

Several inspections of the site, conducted by the Israeli army' s Home Front Command, determined that its ground security units lack the means to provide adequate protection from potential attacks, the report said.

Reflections of the Iraq War

It's a war where nationalism drove an aggressive U.S. to mirror the behavior it supposedly believed Iraq was 'capable' of committing.

(SALEM) - For many the war in Iraq will never end, and for their sake everyone should understand as much as possible about this military operation that claimed far more lives than western media sources accurately reveal.

There is right and there is wrong and there is popular opinion. U.S. politicians with few exceptions, follow that third option.
