A Sobering Reminder on Christmas Day
by Matthew Bastian (conservative)
Published: December 30, 2009
His case is also a vivid reminder that the War on Terror did not end simply because the current occupants of the White House prefer the term “overseas contingency operations” and have a more nuanced pronunciation of “Pakistan”: radical Islamists did not take a sabbatical or suddenly find inner peace when George W Bush retired to Texas.

9/11 and "War on Terror": Politicians Are Clever - People Are the Problem
by Edu Montesanti Goldoni (liberal)
Published: September 15, 2009
Taking into account the unsuccessful 9/11 Commission and the disastrous "War on Terror" aftermath, it is clear that there is a side totally wrong and isolated from the real debate on world terrorism. Far from us having the only answer and being able to close the debate, we analyze the reality inside Afghanistan and find two alternatives to understand what the world is witnessing on "fight on terror". Feel free to choose one option

International Media Distorted Statements of Afghan Women's Leader
by Edu Montesanti Goldoni (liberal)
Published: June 22, 2009
Malalai Joya granted an outspoken interview to a Brazilian website, giving explosive revelations on US occupation in Afghanistan, totally cut and shamefully modified by the reporter. Bad luck on world mafia: Ms. Joya sent us, exclusively, the original version. We publish "both interviews" here, and analyse how works the tendentious media, down on its knees before this mockery of war on terror. The more time goes by, the more clearly we see the puppets in the Empire. Prepare yourself to cry. Prepare yourself to vomit with us

A Flower Sprouts Among Stones in Afghanistan
by Edu Montesanti Goldoni (liberal)
Published: May 18, 2009
Is there any hope to Afghanistan? Yes, there is! In the country of the Taliban and so feared warlords, the Afghan hope lies on its combatant men, and on its several brave women. To them our admiration, solidarity and prayer; to Malalai Joya our following words of love - just because she has been giving her life away, after being expelled from the Afghan Parliament for denouncing the warlords - drug traffickers. Joya will never be killed, and her voice will be forever the voice of her people

BEHIND THE SUPERPOWER CURTAINS - Genocide in Gaza, and What the World Does Not Know About the US, Al-Qaeda and "War on Terror"
by Edu Montesanti Goldoni (liberal)
Published: January 14, 2009
Palestine and Afghanistan bleed. Children has been killed, beheaded, raped - including by the Coalition forces. Until when will they pretend they fight terror, in the name of God, or oil, and we pretend we believe it? Explosive (and documented) revelations involving the US policy in the Middle East, from Mr. Carter to George Bush the son, contesting the "War on Terror" and the Israeli bombardment in Gaza. The UN and the world media trumpet about terrorist acts of individuals and groups. Nothing about terrorism of State. Hiding behind democratic speeches and liberation for others, Bush carries Branham's theology too far, based on the "power of the American sword", exterminating nations. We unmask the superpower and its "fight against terror", describing as well the childish suffering in Palestine and Afghanistan. A generation lost. A future lost

"The greatest threat to [our national] security lies in the tribal regions of Pakistan, where terrorists train and insurgents strike into Afghanistan. We cannot tolerate a terrorist sanctuary, and as President, I won't... We need more troops, more helicopters, more satellites, more Predator drones in the Afghan border region. And we must make it clear that if Pakistan cannot or will not act, we will take out high-level terrorist targets like bin Laden if we have them in our sights." - Barack Obama

by Jake Towne, the Champion of the Constitution (libertarian)
Published: November 8, 2008
"The catch-all phrase - The War on Terror. In all honesty, has no more meaning than if you want to wage a War on criminal Gangsterism. Terrorism is a Tactic. You can't have a War against a Tactic. It's deliberately vague and nondefinable in order to justify and permit perpetual War anywhere and under any circumstances." - Dr. Ron Paul. Pakistan's Chaos Continues.
Semi-Spoof News Flash - American Forces Attack Syria, Eight Die

This article is a semi-spoof alteration of an AP article I found titled "US special forces launch rare attack inside Syria." NONE of the facts have been changed though, just a few changes to make the article a bit more entertaining. My goal is to confuse you at least once into separating the "AP Mass Media News" from my fiction, which you can easily do by clicking on the source links. Just trying out a new satire style! Hope you find it interesting and the news informative; feel free to tell me what you think in the comments field below.
