From Truthdig

An Excerpt From Robert Scheer’s “The Pornography of Power”
"Empire or Republic?" -- War doesn’t pay, nor does imperial ambition. This proposition should be evident to anyone who has paid attention to the fivefold increase in the price of oil since George W. Bush took office. The principle of nonintervention is neither liberal nor conservative in orientation, and at the inception of the Republic it was accepted as a commonsense.

Truthdig on McCain and Militarism

Elliot Cohen on McCain and Militarism
"John McCain’s Chilling Project for America" -- John McCain has long been a major player in a radical militaristic group driven by an ideology of global expansionism and dominance attained through perpetual, pre-emptive, unilateral, multiple wars. Over its two terms, the George W. Bush administration has planted the seeds for this geopolitical master plan, and now appears to be counting on the McCain administration, if one comes to power, to nurture it.

Iraqi Lawmakers Say the United States is Demanding 58 Military Bases - If a five year military occupation isn't enough to create resentment among Iraqis and other Muslim nations, then having 58 permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq ought to do the trick.

According to legend, Iran's President has threatened to destroy Israel, or, to quote the misquote, "Israel must be wiped off the map". Contrary to popular belief, this statement was never made, as the following article will prove.

Senator Graham: McCain's Policies Would "Absolutely" Be An Extension Of Bush's (VIDEO)

Senator John McCain has aggressively tried to distance himself from Bush in an effort to avoid being tagged by Democrats as running for Bush's third term. However, as Think Progress notes, McCain's chief surrogate, Senator Lindsey Graham, did not adhere to that message during his appearance on ABC's This Week, with George Stephanopoulos.

Rumors of War: Is Bush Gearing Up to Attack Iran? By Conn Hallinan, Portside Something is afoot. Just what is not clear, but recent moves by the White House strongly suggest that Bush will attack Iran in the near future. Read more »

You might think this sounds impossible -- especially after "December's National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) concluding that Iran had abandoned its program to build a nuclear weapon. The NIE is the consensus view of all 16 U.S. intelligence services. At the time, the report seemed to shelve any possibility of war with Iran." But we shouldn't underestimate the insanity of neo-con minds and their desire to "reshape" the Middle East.

As the AlterNet article suggests, a Bush order to bomb Iran (sometime before the presidential election in November) might be one way to arrange for a McCain victory, because a lot of gullible Americans would buy the idea that this war was necessary, and that McCain undestands that, while Obama does not.
