German Calls For Lisbon Treaty European Army
Written by Web Master Tuesday, 09 February 2010 08:37
Feeling the US threat over Europe, some European nations are willing to counter Nato's rise as a global force since they have little say in the way Nato and Pentagon are being run today.
Berlin: German Foreign minister Guido Westerwelle has called for the EU to proceed with plans for a European army under the Lisbon Treaty, which he dubbed "the beginning and not the end" of a common security and defence policy.
His remarks at the annual Munich Security Conference followed a call by Berlin´s defence minister Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg to end what he called Nato´s "absurd" practice of unanimous decision-making.
"The (Lisbon) treaty lays out a common security and defence policy. The federal government wants to make progress on this front," said Mr Westerwelle. "The long-term goal is to build up a European army under parliamentary control. The EU has to live up to political expectations of its role as a global player."
The foreign minister sketched out a role for such an army as crisis management in a time of resource scarcity, to be developed by willing member states over time as a "motor for closer co-operation" in the EU. In a nod to Nato, Mr Westerwelle said such EU structures would not replace other military structures.
Germany´s top diplomat received backing for his plan from his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, who called for a "single European military-political space" in which no one country´s security was sacrificed for another.
"We want to overcome the bloc-thinking of the Cold War in Europe and create a new kind of mutual trust," said Mr Lavrov.
The weekend meeting in Munich, a think-in for defence players, was dominated by the ongoing standoff with Iran over nuclear uranium enrichment which Tehran says is energy and not military-related, as western countries fear.

Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki made a surprise appearance in Munich, raising hopes of an important announcement, only to dash them again with a general statement about "conducive ground . . . to agreement in the near future".
Mr zu Guttenberg dismissed Mr Mottaki´s Munich trip as a "farce".
Turning his attention to Nato, he called on an end to the "cultivated absurdity" of the alliance´s principle of unanimity in decision making. "We talk too much and act too little," he said.

Olmert War Criminal: US Protesters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgN02ZTe5AU&feature=player_embedded
On 15 October 2009, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert came to give the annual King Abdullah II Leadership Lecture at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy.
Outraged that a man responsible for war crimes in Palestine and Lebanon that killed more than three thousand people during his term of office, community members confronted Olmert inside the lecture hall effectively preventing him from delivering his speech.
The Goldstone report, examining Israel's attack on Gaza last winter, while Olmert was prime minister, called for Israeli leaders to be held accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Recording and photography were officially banned at Olmert's request, but The Electronic Intifada had a camera anyway as protestor after protestor rose to make a statement before police forced them to leave.

Eyes in Sky - This video will really scare you
Though we do not really know who took the videos and where it originates, we have the information that it was taken after the Indonesian earthquake in Padang, Riau. If you look patiently at the video, you will see a pair of eyes that is formed in the clouds overlooking a village in Indonesia. It will really shock and scare you!
However, apparently this video was taken a few years ago in Russia. Hence the source is unknown and the location too but it is a very real video, not a graphic picture.
