Monterey Institute is an Enabler of Iran/Syria Nuke Claims
It was with disappointment, but not surprise, that I recently found out that the Monterey Institute’s Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) is on board with the Neocons in hyping up the Syria/Iran nuclear claims of the Bush Administration.

Scott Ritter Weighs in on the ‘Nuclear Syria’ Story
From Ritter’s interview with Amy Goodman yesterday: “But let’s just assume for a second that the data is in fact accurate. I have to take exception with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when he says that the alleged activities are against international conventions. Actually, they’re not.

Columnist Asks for Answers from Ron Paul Supporters
Link. “Ron Paul scares me because he is actually going to do what he says…What happens if Iraq is overtaken by extremists? What happens if the flow of oil is disrupted in Saudi Arabia? What do we do if Israel is bombed by Hamas and Hezbollah, or Iran? What if Iran, with their mind set [...]
The American Left Takes Potshots at the Peace Candidate
In the last couple of days, a couple of prominent voices from the American ‘Left’ , Chomsky and Krugman, have expressed concerns about Ron Paul’s presidential candidacy, based mostly on his pro-free market economic policies. I have a beef with Ron Paul too. I strongly oppose his position on the privatization of municipal garbage services. [...]
Ron Paul: The Pragmatic Choice
I wrote an article here at OpedNews.com. Quick Summary: A vote for Hillary or Obama is a vote for more warfare and runaway defense spending. A vote for Paul is a vote to end America’s imperial ambitions and most of the lavish military spending that goes with it.
