Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill talks about his bombshell story in The Nation about Blackwater’s involvement in targeted killings, drone attacks, and other covert operations in Pakistan.
Lately I find myself addicted to PDF e-books on world military history, and I have been selectively downloading some titles from Osprey related to that. I focus mostly on military history related to the First World War, the Second World War, the Napoleonic Wars and even downloaded stuff related to the Middle East military history such as the Six-Day War as well as the Islamic military history of Yarmuk, the Arab Conquest starting from the first Caliph, and of course not forgetting the Crusades and the campaign of Salah ad-Din al-Ayyubi when he crushed those half-naked man worshippers during the Third Crusades.
Very interesting stuff indeed, I think I am going to spend the rest of the week reading all that material once they have finished downloading.
George Galloway is an amazing British politician and watching him virtually tearing through Richard Perle, a neo-con member of the current US administration, on live Abu Dhabi TV was simply surreal. Just like what he did with Sky TV presenter not too long ago during the Israeli-Lebanese war in 2006, he repeated the feat again by raping Richard Perle and leaves no stones unturned.
Galloway, sir, you rule!
Quote of the day: “..no one serious, outside the lunatic asylum of Richard Perle’s circle, any longer believes that the invasion of an Arab Muslim country by hundreds of thousands of Crusading soldiers has done anything to make the world a peaceful place.”
