'Just World News' with Helena Cobban: West Point military historian denies the net value of a decade of war
the head of the military history program at West Point has openly stated that the United States gained "not much" from 10.5 years of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The program head, Col. Gian Gentile, concluded-- presumably in light of the cost of these wars in both blood and treasure-- that they had been "Certainly not worth the effort. In my view."
A sobering assessment. Especially since the NYT has published it on Memorial Day, the day on which U.S. citizens remember their (our) war dead, a remembrance that can have different emotional overtones depending on whether or not you supported the decisions political leaders made to send those military personnel into action against (and in many cases, in) the targeted foreign countries.

Crowned Bloodsucker Bahraini Prince meets with lap dogs from both sides of the US political divide(gangster class)
Crown Prince of Bahrain with John McCain (the well-known supporter of Israel war crimes and "democracy in the Middle East") and with Joe Literally Biden. And what is pathetic about US media now is that they cite "experts" at the Likudnik Washington Institute for Near East Policy even about religious matters in Islam. Can you imagine Mr. Arango citing an expert at a Muslim council in an article regarding Jewish religious developments? He would be reprimanded and his reference would be removed by his editor.

Iraqi court acquits Hizbullah fighter | Rehmat's World
The Zionist-controlled mainstream media never exposed the Israeli covert operations in Iraq under US occupation. A Jordanian daily reported that Israeli Mossad with active collaboration from US forces had killed 530 Iraqi nuclear scientists and academics.
In October 2006, CNN anchorman Anderson Cooper, reported Israeli snippers killing US soldiers. On March 28, 2005, Americans arrested 19 Mossad agents who fired twice on a US Marine checkpoint. The Marines beat up the Mossad agents and tore off their Star-of-David necklaces. (The US media incorrectly said the agents were Americans.) The Mossad agents said they were employees of Zapata Engineering, which helps the CIA conduct interrogations, and also manages US ammo dumps and US motor pools in Iraq.
Mossad and CIA killed US soldiers and blamed Muslims for the murders in order to demonize Muslims and enrage American troops so that the slaughter of innocent Iraqi Muslims and Christians continued.
