What Have We Accomplished in Iraq?
by Ron Paul | Aug 17, 2014 | Featured Articles

Iraq Policy: Washington’s Puzzle Palace Keeps Getting Curiouser
by David Stockman | Aug 13, 2014 | Featured Articles
Let’s count the ways. It goes without saying that Obama is now busily bombing American military equipment. Some of that equipment is pretty high tech gear and especially lethal — not the kind that jihadists ordinarily train with in their desert lairs or mountain...
Ron Paul: ‘US Out of Iraq Now!’

by Pepe Escobar | Aug 12, 2014 | Featured Articles
This is the way the multi-trillion dollar Global War on Terror (GWOT) ends: not with a bang, but with a bigger bang. The GWOT, since its conceptualization 13 years ago, in the aftermath of 9/11, is the gift that keeps on giving. And no gift is bigger than a...

Why Reform the CIA?
by Jacob G. Hornberger | Aug 11, 2014 | Featured Articles
Just as I predicted in my article “Why Not Simply Abolish the CIA?” critics of the CIA’s illegally hacking into the computers of U.S. senators who were investigating CIA torture are calling for reform, rather than abolition, of the CIA. Stuck in the mindset of the...
America Started This Ukraine Crisis
by William Pfaff | Aug 11, 2014 | Featured Articles
I find it very disquieting that so few among the West European and American commentators on the Ukraine crisis, private or public, seem concerned that the United States has started this affair, and that it is not inconceivable that it may end in a war. Worse yet,...
US Sanctions on Russia May Sink the Dollar
by Ron Paul | Aug 10, 2014 | Featured Articles
The US government's decision to apply more sanctions on Russia is a grave mistake and will only escalate an already tense situation, ultimately harming the US economy itself. While the effect of sanctions on the dollar may not be appreciated in the short term, in the...

US Government Still Trying for Cuba Regime Change
by Sheldon Richman | Aug 7, 2014 | Featured Articles
When I saw the headline about the U.S. government and Cuba in my newspaper the other day, I thought I’d awoken in 1961. It was a Twilight Zone moment for sure: “U.S. program aimed to stir dissent in Cuba.” I expected Rod Serling to welcome me to “another dimension.”...
