Watch these Navy SEAL Team VI families and other family members as they reveal the Obama Administrations MOSCOW – Vladimir Putin ordered military leaders on Wednesday to make urgent improvements to the armed forces during his new presidential term, saying Russia must thwart attempts by the West to tip the strategic balance of power. “Attempts are being made to tip the strategic balance,” said Putin, who as president is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, told his audience at the General Staff academy on Moscow’s outskirts. The head of [...] At least 30 per cent of military commanders fired over the past eight years lost their jobs because of sexually related offenses, including harassment, adultery, and improper relationships. The figures follow growing concerns by Defense Department and military leaders over declining ethical values among U.S. forces. They also highlight the pervasiveness of a problem that came into sharp relief because of the resignation of one of the Army’s most esteemed generals, David [...] Amy Gardner Jill Kelley, the Tampa socialite embroiled in the scandal surrounding former CIA director and retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus’s abrupt resignation last week, visited the White House with her twin sister three times this fall, a White House official confirmed Friday. Kelley, 37, and her sister, Natalie Khawam, lunched at the White House mess, or cafeteria, twice with a mid-level staffer in the Obama administration whom Kelley had [...] From G.A. “Stu” Stewart: I suspect that the attack on Iran and Syria will happen simultaneously on November 9th, 2012. For starters, this day provides symmetry to the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony. There are symbolic and arcane associations with the lighting of the Olympic Torch on July 28th, 2012. According to the Jewish calendar that was the 9th of Av. The ninth day of the eleventh month in the Jewish calendar has [...] Mac Slavo
It’s a month after the incident in Bengzahi, Libya and the Obama administration is still trying to shift blame and responsibility. First, the President claimed the attacks were nothing more than a riot that got out of control as a result of a video that insulted the religion of Islam. This narrative was shot full of holes almost immediately, because as we know, a CIA safehouse, which no [...] Aircraft can be armed with ‘bombs and missiles’, says Revolutionary Guard commander Iranian military leaders have unveiled a new long-range drone capable of reaching Israel and most of the Middle East months after capturing a U.S. one. General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, a senior Revolutionary Guard commander, described the weapon as a key strategic [...] Iranian military leaders unveiled a new missile defense system Friday that is built to destroy “aggressive” U.S. aircraft, according to reports. The system, dubbed Ra’d, “has been built in a bid to confront U.S. aircraft and can hit targets 50km in distance and 75,000 feet in altitude,” Iranian General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the nation’s Aerospace Force Brigadier, told Iran’s Fars News Agency Friday. The new system is evidence that Iran’s military capabilities [...] Cyberwarfare is developing eerie parallels with the race to build the first nuclear weapons warned the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists today. Claiming that western governments in the United States and Israel are not thinking of the potential ramifications of developing cyberweapons such as Stuxnet and Flame, scientists with the Bulletin urged caution. Making the comparison of the United States first use of nuclear weapons on Japan in 1945 without full knowledge [...] AFP - Former Argentine dictator Jorge Videla admitted for the first time in a new book that “7,000 or 8,000 people” disappeared under his regime between 1976 and 1981. Caferino Reato, author of the book called “Final Disposition,” says Videla admitted the disappearances during 20 hours of interviews in the federal military prison where he is held. “Let’s say there were 7,000 or 8,000 people who had to die to win the war [...] It’s turning out to be a costly commute home for Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. The Pentagon chief has traveled on military aircraft to his home in northern California more than two dozen times since he took the defense post in July – trips that have cost the government about $32,000 each. Panetta, in turn, has reimbursed the government about $630 per roundtrip for the personal flights, based on longstanding formulas dictated by [...] Power is simply the wonderful ability to tell other people what to do. It is extraordinarily addictive to most human beings, and should be seen as the root cause of humanity’s problems. Seriously, it is extraordinary to examine the shifting dichotomy of the “Left Wing” versus “Right Wing” paralellogram as commonly set forth, where the “left” is socialist, and the “right” is fascist. The whole “Left” versus “Right” precis has been totally corrupted. [...] (CNS News) Fox News Correspondent Jennifer Griffin reports that only a handful of Iraqis were on hand Thursday as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and U.S. military leaders formally ended the Iraq war with a subdued ceremony in Baghdad. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki did not attend the ceremony at which the flag of U.S. Forces-Iraq was officially retired. “You will leave with great pride — lasting pride — secure in knowing [...] Former military leaders call for 30% cut in oil consumption – CNN … 11-1-2011 By Charley Keyes Osama bin Laden may have left a clue about one of the West’s greatest vulnerabilities: reliance on oil imports. “When we killed bin Laden, we saw oil tanker designs on his work desk,” Gen. James Conway, the former Marine Corps commandant, said in a report released late Tuesday. Conway was part of a group of 11 recently retired three- and [...] From Washington Times: President Obama has decided to sell a new arms package to Taiwan that will likely include weapons and equipment to upgrade the island’s F-16 jets, according to administration and congressional officials. Congress will be briefed Friday on the arms package worth an estimated $4.2 billion, said officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. A formal announcement is expected soon. “All we’ve been told is the president [...] RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A concert event organized by atheist, agnostic and other non-theist soldiers has been cleared by the Army to take place next spring at Fort Bragg, concert organizers and a spokesman for the post said Monday. Organizers planned to hold the Rock Beyond Belief event this year, but they canceled after saying Bragg leadership was not providing the [...] WASHINGTON (AFP) – US military leaders on Wednesday said government officials had to stop leaking out details of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden or otherwise risk future operations by special forces. “My concern is that there were too many people in too many places talking too much about this operation,” Defense Secretary Robert Gates told reporters. “I’m very concerned about this, because we want to retain [...] (Credit: CBS News) Updated 1:52 p.m. Eastern Time In an interview with Steve Kroft for this Sunday’s “60 Minutes,” President Obama says he won’t release post-mortem images of Osama bin Laden taken to prove his death. Video of the comments will appear on the CBS “Evening News” on Wednesday. Republican House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said Wednesday that the Obama administration should not release the gruesome post-mortem [...] |
