Turks are rejecting the "west".

Antiwar groups beware : Don't let America bring in their "white-house democracy" to Turkey - via tomahawks launched from the Mediterranean or hellfires from those drones.

VOAvideo | October 06, 2010 - On the fifth anniversary of Turkey's original negotiations to become a member of the European Union, there are newfound concerns that the country may be drifting away from the West. In addition, as Derek Henkle reports, some just-released numbers also show a marked decline in popularity for both the United States and President Barack Obama.

The third in a week : Militants attack Nato tanker convoy in Pakistan

Militants in Pakistan have destroyed 27 tankers which were carrying fuel for Nato troops in Afghanistan.

The Taliban in Pakistan said it was behind the assault on a depot near Islamabad which left three people dead.

Pakistan has stopped Nato convoys crossing the Khyber Pass in response to a Nato air strike last week in which three Pakistani soldiers were killed.

Nato said on Monday it regretted the deaths but called for the crossing to be reopened.

Later on Monday, a US drone strike killed at least five militants in the town of Mir Ali in the troubled north-western Pakistani region of North Waziristan region, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

an Interview Shows Futility of Afghanistan War

American Mums - pressure your Administration & take your kid home before it's too late: an Interview that Shows .... the Futility of Afghanistan War

rethinkafghanistan | September 28, 2010 - excerpt from an interview this week with Captain John Hintz which highlights the futility of the Afghanistan War. Capt. Hintz explained that, 9 years into the war, "I have probably 300 square kilometers. And the vast majority is controlled by the Taliban," Hintz explained. "We push hard, we patrol heavy, we go out there but I would say probably 18 to 20 square kilometers is what I think I own."

GORDON DUFF: WHAT AHMADINEJAD ISN’T TELLING US.

TERROR CONFERENCE IN TEHRAN WILL FALL SHORT OF THE MARK



AHMADINEJAD CALLS FOR UN INVESTIGATION OF 9/11

By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor


When President Ahmadinejad announced, before the United Nations that most people in the world believe that the U.S. government was involved in the planning and execution of the 9/11 attacks, he told the truth.  In America, groups have been popping up for years, not “fringe” types, but military and professional organizations, architects, engineers, pilots, intelligence officers.
There is a vast underground that is never reported, never spoken of in the news and continually threatened.  The FBI and Homeland Security have infiltrated these groups,  illegal surveillance has been on a massive scale and, as the groups have grown and their reach has touched millions of Americans, the government, in the usual whispers, is talking about mass arrests, “unplugging” the internet, all those things the militia movements of the 90′s said would happen.

Sophisticated Computer worm attacked Iran's infrastructures!

Iran´s main nuclear powerplant...

CNN reports 24 Sept. 2010.

A piece of highly sophisticated malicious software that has infected an unknown number of power plants, pipelines and factories over the past year is the first program designed to cause serious damage in the physical world, security experts are warning.

At a closed-door conference this week in Maryland, Ralph Langner, a German industrial controls safety expert, said Stuxnet might be targeting not a sector but perhaps only one plant, and he speculated that it could be a controversial nuclear facility in Iran.

According to Symantec, which has been investigating the virus and plans to publish details of the rogue commands on Wednesday, Iran has had far more infections than any other country.

Arabs face discrimination in Israel

AlJazeeraEnglish | September 25, 2010 - Discrimination faced by Palestinians living within Israel's borders remains one of the key sticking points in Middle East peace talks.

Umm al-Fahm is a town made up almost entirely of Palestinian Israelis - those who found themselves within the new border when Israel was created in 1948.

Israel's declaration of independence, the equivalent of a constitution, states that all citizens are equal but the one-fifth of the population who are Palestinian, believe they are less equal than others.

Al Jazeera's Dan Nolan reports from Umm al-Fahm, Israel.

Iran ready for 'fair' talks on its nuclear programme

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr MottakiThere has been a flurry of diplomatic activity on the fringes of the UN General Assembly

Iran is ready to resume talks on its nuclear programme if they are "fair", Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki is quoted as saying.
His comments came after the five UN Security Council permanent members and Germany said they hoped for an early negotiated solution to the dispute.
The UN has passed tough sanctions against Iran over its programme, which some fear is aimed at producing nuclear weapons.

Russia not to sell S-300 missiles to Iran

Russia will not sell its long-range surface-to-air missile systems, S-300, to Iran as they fall under UN Security Council sanctions against Tehran, the chief of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff has said.

“A decision has been made not to supply S-300s to Iran. [The air-defense systems] certainly fall under the sanctions,” Nikolay Makarov said on Wednesday, cited Interfax agency. He added that“there was an instruction from the leadership to stop the shipment and we are following it.”

General Makarov was also asked to comment on whether the respective contract with the Islamic Republic will be torn up. “Time will show. It will depend on Iran’s behavior,” he responded.

The deal, estimated to be worth around US$1 billion, was signed back in 2007. However, as yet no missiles have been delivered to Iran but the contract still has not been cancelled and the authorities are saying they are waiting for Iran’s reaction to the announcement, and how the decision is going to be taken by president.

Islamophobia in the US.

Riz Khan - AlJazeeraEnglish | September 14, 2010 - Tension and acrimony marked the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks in the US. Relations between Muslims and people of other faiths appear to have slipped to a new low with the controversies over Quran-burning and the proposed Islamic centre near 'ground zero' in New York City. Is the US becoming increasingly intolerant towards Islam?

VoA : Referendum Vote Boosts Turkish Government - Interesting topic hidden motives!

VOAvideo | September 13, 2010 - Despite the decisive victory, there is still opposition over judicial reforms included in the referendum and concerns remain over the ruling Justice and Development (AK) party's Islamic roots. Dorian Jones has more from Istanbul.







Editor's Note: Listen to the line of report, isn't VoA praying for schism within the Turkish Civil society and in a self-denial mode that (it was not popular) Erdogan's had won with a touch of Islamophobia, rather different from UE's position!  VoA's concerns remain not only, over the ruling Justice and Development (AK) party's Islamic roots, but Turkey as an entity.
