‘US to Iran: In case of Israeli strike, don’t fire on our bases’

And yet another fine example into the "Art of Shit stirring"
The story is squat, I have not been able to FACTUALLY find a shred of evidence to support that this rumor is true.
So it must be seen, as well as exposed, for what it actually is, just another manipulative ploy for the so called nation of Israel to guarantee it gets it's own way. So called for the simple reason that nations actually have defined borders, that don't grow as to when their leader sees fit.
Watch and see how many of the US legislative body jumps onto it's nonfactual position and demands s statement of clear unbridled aid, no matter what the cost is to the people of their own country.

Canada to stage mock Afghan attack in Washington

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/canada-to-stage-mock-afghan-attack-in-washington/article1275341/

Canada, Americans don't care why your in Afghanistan, we're still trying to figure out why we're there.
How special must you think we are to want to impress us in this manner, but what a waste of your own taxpayers money!

The Taliban will attack an Afghan village set up in the heart of Washington courtesy of the Canadian Forces, who will send in a medic in a dramatic effort to save a civilian crippled by the explosion.

At least four times over two days this month, simulated IED blasts will bring the Afghan war – and Canada's combat role in Kandahar – home to Americans if an elaborate scheme based on modern training realism attracts widespread attention, as is hoped.

“If this works the way I want it to, more Americans will know what Canada is doing in Afghanistan,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Douglas Martin, a military attaché at the Canadian embassy.

A clutch of top American generals, powerful Capitol Hill players and Afghan experts from both sides of the border are expected at the two-day conference hosted by the embassy.

But the highlight will be the explosive blasts, simulating the powerful improvised explosive devices wreaking havoc in Afghanistan, to be staged twice a day.

Whether they will send jumpy tourists and Washingtonians on Pennsylvania Avenue fleeing in fear remains unknown, but embassy officials say they have a green light from the Secret Service, the State Department and the D.C. fire marshal

The Big Whorehouse On The Potomac

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, there's always two sides to a coin

As Americans celebrate July 4th, they can contemplate that the union of "free and independent states," like the former British colonial power, has evolved into its final manifestation--a complete whore house. While Members of Parliament in London charge their expense accounts with every personal expenditure, including the rental of adult xxx-rated films, an American newspaper put the reporting of public policy out to bids until politico.com blew the whistle.

In Washington, everything is for sale, including journalistic integrity. The Washington Post, which abandoned investigative reporting eons ago, decided to boost its sagging revenues by spreading her legs. The Post's business division put out a flyer offering lobbyists access at the Post's CEO's gracious home to "those powerful few" in the Obama administration, Congress, and among the Post's editors and reporters who decide the nation's policies, such as health care.

The Washington Post's flyer offered a Wal-Mart low cost of a mere $25,000 for one "salon" to interact with decision makers and $250,000 for eleven interactions.

Alas, people with an old fashioned sense of integrity impugned the Washington Post's new business model, and the Post's boss, Katharine Weymouth, had to rescind the offer that would have rescued the newspaper by turning it into a "facilitator for private lobbyist-official encounters."

I say damn the old fashioned moralists. America would be much better served if the Washington Post was selling access to lobbyists instead of selling the US government's PSYOPS operations in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Georgia, Ukraine, Serbia, Venezuela, Honduras, and everywhere else, for which the paper receives a pittance: the reporter can tell his editor that he has a deep source within the government, hardly an adequate recompense for wars that cost American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars at a time when Americans cannot pay the mortgages on their homes.
