2009: The Year Wall Street Bounced Back and Main Street Got Shafted

Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "The five largest remaining banks are today larger, their executives and traders richer, their strategies of placing large bets with other people's money no less bold than before the meltdown. The possibility of new regulations emanating from Congress has barely inhibited the Street's exuberance. But if Wall Street is back on top, the everyday lives of large numbers of Americans continue to be subject to overwhelming trauma, chaos and disruption."

The "Coalition of the Willing" in Iraq Becomes an Army of One

Hannah Allam, McClatchy Newspapers: "The British said cheerio back in July, around the same time the Romanians cleared out 'Camp Dracula,' their compound on a US base in southern Iraq. Tonga and Kazakhstan left ages ago, and no one seems to remember if any Icelandic forces ever made it to Iraq. It doesn't matter now, anyway, because as of Friday, former president George W. Bush's 'coalition of the willing' formally ceased to exist, leaving only the US military's 130,000 or so forces to shepherd their Iraqi counterparts through a volatile election season before a full American troop withdrawal that's expected by the end of 2011."

DIE LINKE unterstützt Protest der Friedensbewegung gegen Truppenaufstockung

Christine Buchholz, Mitglied im Geschäftsführenden Vorstand der Partei DIE LINKE, erklärt:

Obama ist in seinem ersten Amtsjahr von der Friedenstaube zum Kriegstreiber geworden. Er schickt dreimal so viele US-Soldaten an den Hindukusch wie Bush. Merkels und Guttenbergs Politik, erst die deutschen Kampftruppen zu erhöhen und den Abzug für 2011 zu versprechen, ist nichts als Augenwischerei. DIE LINKE begrüßt, dass die SPD die Truppenaufstockung ablehnt, denn mehr Kampftruppen bedeuten tatsächlich keine Verbesserung. Das gilt nach Meinung der LINKEN aber auch für die bereits anwesenden deutschen Kampftruppen und die Ausbildung von afghanischen Soldaten. SPD-Chef Sigmar Gabriel kettet sich zudem beim Abzug der Bundeswehr an die Entscheidung der USA. Damit unterstützt er den Krieg weiter und verschiebt den Abzug auf den Sankt Nimmerleinstag. Nur ein sofortiger, bedingungsloser Abzug kann den Krieg beenden und Frieden schaffen. Um so wichtiger ist es, den Protest gegen den Krieg öffentlich sichtbar zu machen und den Druck auf Regierung und SPD zu erhöhen. 71 Prozent der Bevölkerung sind für den schnellstmöglichen Abzug der Truppen, sogar mehr als 80 Prozent lehnen die Aufstockung der Truppen ab. Gemeinsam mit der Friedensbewegung wird DIE LINKE gegen die Truppenaufstockung und für den sofortigen Abzug der Bundeswehr aus Afghanistan am 20. Februar in Berlin demonstrieren. Wir hoffen, dass sich viele Christen, Sozialdemokraten, Grüne und viele andere an den Protesten beteiligen.

Afghanistan far deadlier than Iraq for U.S. troops in 2009

More than twice as many U.S. troops died in Afghanistan in 2009 than in Iraq, U.S. casualty records show, and Afghanistan is likely to become an even deadlier place for American forces as reinforcements are rushed there to battle insurgents.

Success of Afghanistan Troop Surge Doubted Widely

Sherwood Ross, The Public Record: "'There isn’t the slightest possibility that the course laid out by Barack Obama in his Dec. 1 speech (at West Point) will halt or even slow the downward spiral toward defeat in Afghanistan,' writes Thomas Johnson in a report published Dec. 10 in Foreign Policy magazine. And for emphasis, he adds the word 'None.' 'The US president and his advisors labored for three months and brought forth old wine in bigger bottles,' Johnson wrote, noting, 'The speech contained not one single new idea or approach, nor offered any hint of new thinking about a conflict that everyone now agrees the United States is losing.'"

Fighting the wrong wars

The American Conservative
by Patrick J. Buchanan

Obama just ordered 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan. Yet, even if Gens. David Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal pull it off and pacify Kandahar, how does that protect the American homeland from suicide bombers hell-bent on blowing up airliners? How does turning the tide in Afghanistan stop radical Muslim youth in Africa or Arabia from being trained to board planes with bombs and blow them up over the Atlantic? How do 130,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq make us more safe from an al-Qaida that has moved into Waziristan, Baluchistan, Yemen, Somalia and North Africa? The Sept. 11 massacre may have been decided upon in Afghanistan. But the perpetrators were Saudis and Egyptians who plotted, planned and trained in Germany, Boston, Delray Beach and Northern Virginia...
