  SYRIA: US-NATO Backed Al Qaeda Terrorists Armed with WMDs. Chemical Weapons against the Syrian People By Tony Cartalucci 

  19 March, 2013 — Global Research

  After a 10 year war/occupation in Iraq, the death of over a million people including thousands of US soldiers, all based on patently false claims of the nation possessing “weapons of mass destruction,” (WMDs), it is outrageous hypocrisy to see the West arming, funding, and politically backing terrorists in Syria who in fact both possess, and are now using such weapons against the Syrian people.

  No Sign of Peace or Reconciliation in France-Controlled Mali By Roger Annis 

  6 March 2013 — The Bullet • Socialist Project • E-Bulletin No. 776

  France perpetrated two large deceptions in conducting its military intervention into Mali more than seven weeks ago. These have been universally accepted in mainstream media reporting. The first is that the unilateral decision to invade Mali on January 11, 2013 was hastily made, prompted by imminent military threats by Islamic fundamentalist forces against the south of the country where the large majority of Malians live.

  Kerry Brings Image of Dapper Diplomacy to Ugly Face of Washington’s Imperialism
  02.03.2013 | 00:00 | Finian CUNNINGHAM

  Any illusions about a possible change in direction for American foreign policy were blown away this week with Kerry’s visit to Europe. And it was Kerry himself who blew away such illusions with his own words. The US secretary of state may have sounded multi-lingual and looked urbane in his pinstripe suit, with all its hints of diplomacy, but what he had to say on the issues of Iran and Syria, and by extension Russia, revealed Kerry to be a consistent operator of the same openly militarist agenda that has become such a hallmark of post-9/11 Washington…

  Imperial Jockeying in Africa: U.S. Intervention Sets to Deepen By Ben Schreiner 

  20 February, 2013 — Global Research

  

  As “the peril of guerrilla war looms” for the French in Mali, the United States prepares to step-up its intervention across Africa.

  Speaking in Bamako on Tuesday, U.S. Senator Christopher Coons, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated that direct U.S. military support of the Malian government is likely to resume after the country’s July elections.

  U.S. drone bases are multiplying on the African continent. Niger has just “given the green light to accepting American surveillance drones on its soil”; neighboring Burkina Faso already has one; two new drone facilities are opening in Ethiopia and the Seychelles; and UN peacekeepers in Congo want U.S. drones. Drones have terrorized Somalia from AFRICOM’s base in Djibouti for the past seven years. Continue reading this...

  Malian War Spreading into Niger: French Military Moves Further Into Northern Region By Abayomi Azikiwe 

  29 January, 2013 — Global Research

  Reports emanating from the West African state of Mali indicate that French grounds forces accompanied by the national army from the capital of Bamako–along with a small contingent of regional troops from Niger, Burkina Faso, Togo, Senegal, Benin, Chad and Nigeria–are moving towards the northern historic city of Timbuktu. Although there has been a media blockade by the French and Malian governments about the impact of the war, details of the conditions taking place inside the country are emerging.

  At the very moment when the Democratic Party President Barack Obama reiterated in his inaugural address that the United States “must be a source of hope for the poor” and will “support democracy from Asia to Africa,” giant U.S. C-17 aircraft were carrying French troops into Mali, where Washington a year before had put in power Captain Sanogo, trained in the U.S. by the Pentagon and CIA, exacerbating Mali’s internal conflicts.

  Malians hoping French troops have arrived to save them from Islamists may see other objectives revealed.

  New Scramble for Africa: Imperialism Plans “Decades of War” By Bill Van Auken

  World Socialist Web Site

  The French intervention in Mali, followed by the bloody siege in Algeria, represents a turning point in what has emerged as a new imperialist scramble for Africa. With these events, following on the heels of the US-NATO war for regime-change in Libya and the Washington-backed sectarian civil war in Syria, mankind is witnessing a convulsive drive by the major powers to re-divide the world, its territories, markets and resources.

  France Launches War in Mali in Bid to Secure Resources, Stamp Out National Rights Struggles By Roger Annis 

  19 January 2013 — The Bullet • Socialist Project • E-Bulletin No. 762

  France, the former slave power of west Africa, has poured into Mali with a vengeance in a military attack launched on January 11. French warplanes are bombing towns and cities across the vast swath of northern Mali, a territory measuring some one thousand kilometers from south to north and east to west. French soldiers in armoured columns have launched a ground offensive, beginning with towns in the south of the northern territory, some 300 km north and east of the Malian capital of Bamako.

  A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

  The United States and France, once thought of as imperial competitors, act as military tag team partners in Africa. France puffed up like a hyper-aggressive peacock in the assault on Libya, and now strikes unilaterally against Islamists in Mali. But the junior imperialist’s brashness comes with the confidence that the superpower has its back.

  Obama Plans African Wars By Stephen Lendman 

  10 December 2012 — Boiling Frogs

  War is America’s Option of Choice 

  Obama’s war-making appetite exceeds all his predecessors and then some. He’s already waging multiple direct and proxy wars.

  His rhetoric about winding them down rings hollow. He wants to make the most of the next four years.

  No targeted country left behind reflects his agenda. He’s ravaging the world multiple countries at a time. He’s out-of-control. He governs like a serial killer.
