Bundestag verlängert Afghanistan-Mandat. Grüne stimmen zum Teil dagegen: ISAF-Einsatz trage zur Gewalteskalation bei

''Mit großer Mehrheit hat der Bundestag am Donnerstag das Mandat zum Einsatz der Bundeswehr in Afghanistan verlängert. 435 Abgeordnete votierten in namentlicher Abstimmung für die Fortsetzung der deutschen Kriegsbeteiligung, 111 Parlamentarier wandten sich dagegen, es gab 39 Enthaltungen. Bis zu 4400 Soldaten sollen bis Ende Februar 2014 am Hindukusch eingesetzt werden, derzeit liegt die Obergrenze des Parlamentsmandats bei 4900 Soldaten?''

Krieg in Afghanistan: Was elf Jahre falsch war, wird im zwölften Jahr nicht richtig

''Leere Versprechen, Lügen und Schönfärbereien / Neues Mandat bedeutet Fortsetzung des Krieges / Friedensbewegung fordert: Truppen raus, sofort und bedingungslos. Anlässlich der Debatte im Deutschen Bundestag um die Verlängerung des ISAF-Mandats für Afghanistan erklärten die Sprecher des Bundesausschusses Friedenratschlag, Dr. Peter Strutynski und Lühr Henken, in einer Stellungnahme: Die heutige Bundestagsdebatte hat wieder einmal gezeigt, dass es der Bundesregierung nicht um eine Beendigung des Afghanistankriegs und um den Abzug der deutschen Truppen geht. Sie spricht zwar unermüdlich davon; ihre Taten weisen aber in eine andere Richtung. Das neue Mandat, das heute beschlossen wurde, produziert keinen Abzug sondern leere Versprechen, Lügen und Schönfärbereien?'' Pressemitteilung des Bundesausschusses Friedensratschlag vom 31. Januar 2013 http://www.ag-friedensforschung.de/regionen/Afghanistan/mandat2013-baf.html

Ten years ago, Katharine Gun, then a 28-year-old British intelligence officer, saw an e-mailed memo from the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) that confirmed for her in black and white the already widespread suspicion that the U.S. and U.K. were about to launch war against Iraq on false pretenses.

Energiewende: Altmaier sät Verunsicherung

Altmaier missachtet Grundgesetz

Die Aufregung ist groß, nachdem Bundesumweltminister Peter Altmaier (CDU) angekündigt hat, nicht nur die EEG-Umlage für Neuanlagen einzufrieren, sondern auch Besitzer von Altanlagen mit einem sogenannten Energie-Soli zur Kasse zu bitten. Letzteres würde bedeuten, dass in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erstmalig versucht würde, den vom Grundgesetz garantierten Vertrauensschutz zu verletzen. Kolumne von Henner Weithöner

Altmaier versetzt der Erneuerbaren Branche schweren Schlag

Darin ist als Ziel eine Stabilisierung der EEG-Umlage genannt, um die Energiekosten für die Bürger nicht weiter zu verteuern.

Mali: Here we go again

Future of Freedom Foundation

Hollywood s Imperial propaganda

CounterPunch
by Joe Giambrone

02/20/13

Hollywood likes to pretend that things aren?t political when they are. It s that bi-partisan nationalist myth that if both corporate parties agree to cheer for the empire, then everyone cheers for the empire. It s gotten so bad now that races like the Oscars and the Writer s Guild screenwriting award are tight contests between one CIA propaganda film and another CIA propaganda film. The first one helps to demonize Iranians and set up the next World War scenario, while the second film fraudulently promotes the effectiveness of state-sanctioned torture crimes...

The broken promise of Barack Obama

Heartland Institute

If history holds, President Obama s second term will be marked by fewer legislative achievements, more gridlock, and more contentious ideological division than his first. It is hard to see how this is possible. But I suspect we ll soon find that it is inevitable. It s because of the divide between the leader he promised us he would be, and the politician he actually is...

The president of perpetual war

In These Times
by David Sirota

01/25/13

Four years into his presidency, Barack Obama s political formula should be obvious. He gives fabulous speeches teeming with popular liberal ideas, often refuses to take the actions necessary to realize those ideas and then banks on most voters, activists, reporters and pundits never bothering to notice, or care about, his sleight of hand.

... Never was this formula more apparent than when the president discussed military conflicts during his second inaugural address. Declaring that 'a decade of war is now ending,' he insisted that he 'still believe(s) that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war.' The lines generated uncritical applause, much of it from anti-war liberals who protested against the Bush administration. Living up to Obama s calculation, few seemed to notice that the words came from the same president who is manufacturing a state of 'perpetual war'...
