fully enforced, the new U.S. sanctions against
Iran — signed into law by President Obama on
July 1st — will potentially destroy the
country’s economy. Killing several birds with
one stone, the punitive measures will also impact
some of Washington’s other rivals and are likely
to pinch some of its allies as well. Whereas the
Obama Administration calmly portrays economic
sanctions as “peaceful” solutions to political
problems, they are tantamount to an act of war ...
an option which the U.S. has also been actively
pursuing. Ultimately, the march to war begun by
Bush is (...)</span>

it occurred to President Barack Obama that Gen.
Stanley McChrystal might actually have wanted to
be fired — and thus rescued from the current
March of Folly in Afghanistan, a mess much of his
own making? Ray McGovern examines the question,
observing that with "surge" architect General
David Petraeus on board, rather than disengaging
from Afghanistan, Obama will likely get stuck in
an even deeper quagmire.</span>

after Russian President Medvedev’s official
visit to Washington, the FBI took down a nest of
ten ’deep cover’ agents who allegedly spied
for Russia. The timing of the events and the
nature of the charges are highly suspect to
Webster G. Tarpley, who postulates that for
certain U.S. power circles the Cold War might in
fact still be on.</span>

crisis, the Spanish economy has moved into
recession. Madrid has been compelled, or has
deemed it necessary, to genuflect before the
International Monetary Fund which has saddled it
with a harsh austerity plan. The Zapatero
government caved in even before the Spaniards had
been given an opportunity to discuss other
options.</span>
