The Vietnam War and Our War on Yemen Have Something in Common.... Nonexistent Attacks

By Joe Clifford

October 21, 2016 "Information Clearing House" - The missile attack on a US ship off the coast of Yemen was a major news event, but the subsequent follow up story, that it may never have happened, was either ignored by mainstream media or intentionally covered up. The whole thing has the same odor as the Gulf of Tonkin incident that never occurred.

Does history repeat itself?  Sure does seem like it. That is if you compare America’s entry into the Vietnam civil war, with America’s latest entry into the war in Yemen.

The Middle East and the Next Administration

By Chas W. Freeman, Jr.
October 21, 2016 "Information Clearing House" - "LobeLog"- Osama bin Laden surely died happy. He devoted the last third of his life to creating animosity between the West and Islam and to driving a wedge between Saudi Arabia and the United States. Today, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey are all estranged from the United States. And, as an unexpected bonus, so is Israel. The U.S. is making enemies all over the Muslim world. And every day here at home, millions pay homage to the memory of Osama as they remove their shoes to pass through metal detectors and are stripped of their dignity by body-imaging devices at airports. Americans are less secure, less prosperous, and less free than we were as this century began. In life, Osama was transformative. In death, he continues to shape the world he left behind.

افغانستان

از اکتبر سال ۲۰۰۱ که ایالات متحده به افغانستان حمله کرد، حد اقل سه سازمان نظامی آمریکائی به اسارت زندانیان در این کشور پرداخته‌اند: "سازمان سیا"، "سازمان دیا"، و "جی ساک". همه این سازمانها با زندانیان بدرفتاری، و در بسیاری موارد آنها را شکنجه کرده‌اند. برای بسیاری از دستگیر شدگان، افغانستان ایستگاهی بود مابین محل دستگیری، و تحویل آنها برای بازجوئی و شکنجه به مراکش، مصر، سوریه، یا کشور دیگری که این تسهیلات را برای سازمانهای فوق فراهم میکرد. برای دیگران، محل توقفی بود که از آنجا به گوانتانامو فرستاده میشدند. ولی‌ حداقل برای دو نفر، این آخر خط بود.
