Here is a follow up on the new French base. Also on the crises developing in Pakistan


France Opens Its First Military Base In Gulf Region

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has inaugurated France's first military base in the Gulf region at a time of heightened political sensitivities in the volatile Middle East - and as France seeks to expand its presence in the region.

Based in the Emirates state of Abu Dhabi, the French base amounts to France's first new military base overseas in 50 years. It has been dubbed the Camp of Peace, and it is expected to host up to 500 troops on three separate sites.

Nearly Two Million Pakistanis Displaced by Offensive Against Taliban

Pakistan's military says its troops have recaptured a large swath of territory in and around the northwestern Swat Valley, destroying terrorist bases and killing hundreds of Taliban militants. A regional commander dismissed reports that many civilians are dying or that homes have been destroyed in the fighting.

It's been a busy day in the "Great Game" is putting it mildly.

Pakistan's high court reverses ban on Sharif holding office

Reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan -- Pakistan's Supreme Court on Tuesday reversed a ruling that barred opposition leader Nawaz Sharif from holding elected office, clearing the way for one of the nation's most popular politicians to reassert himself in its turbulent political scene.

Though Sharif gave no hints of his plans during a news conference at his home in Raiwind, he could lead a push for early parliamentary elections. And if he amasses enough political momentum, he could lobby for changes to the constitution that would allow him to seek a third term as prime minister.

Iran's spiritual leader discourages electing a pro-Western president

Reporting from Beirut -- Iran's most powerful political and spiritual leader warned voters Monday against supporting pro-Western candidates in next month's presidential election, comments widely seen as supporting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's approach to foreign policy over those of his challengers.

"Those who submit to the enemies and bring shame on the nation should not come to power by the people's vote," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said during a speech in the western town of Bijar.

Interesting part of talks between Iran and Afghanistan agreements... Water!

Tehran continues to complain about Kabul over its anti-drug trafficking efforts and reticence over the long-running dispute over access to the Hirmand River, which originates in mountains northwest of Kabul and flows some 1,000 kilometers before reaching Iran.

Iran wants to see the implementation of an agreement on the river that would divert some 25 cubic meters of water per second toward Iran. But Kabul has erected the Kamal Khan dam, which diverts Hirmand's water, adding to the problems of western provinces in Iran already facing severe water shortages.

NORTH KOREAN TESTS PART OF THE GREAT GAME?

I am really starting to think, more and more, that latest developement in North Korea is really Illuminati - NWO "false flag"... Psy-Op for war mongering fear propaganda against Iran, and way to presure China and Russia (SCO) to under some international operation, coalition or under some agreement, and that will tide up their hands in front of coming Iran Op.

I hear ya like this story here

South Korea joins US anti-nuke club

www.news.com.au

SOUTH Korea will become a full member of a US-led initiative to curb trade in weapons of mass destruction, the foreign ministry said, one day after North Korea's second nuclear test.

The North has previously said that Seoul's participation in the Proliferation Security Initiative would be seen as a declaration of war.

It's like they are almost asking for a fight now. Washington and Seoul have pretty much drawn a line in the sand to see if lil Kimmy will cross it.

People are wondering why he is shooting off rockets.

Just stuck this in breaking news. Ugly little item:

U.S. appeals to China to help stabilize Pakistan

U.S. appeals to China to help stabilize Pakistan

The Obama administration has appealed to China to provide training and even military equipment to help Pakistan counter a growing militant threat, U.S. officials said.

The proposal is part of a broad push by Washington to enlist key allies of Pakistan in the effort to stabilize the country. The U.S. is seeking to persuade Islamabad to step up its efforts against militants, while supporting the fragile civilian government and the nation's tottering economy.

And here we have again yet more bad news as the failed state of Pakistan undergoes the worst refugee crisis the world has seen since Rwanda; a peek a situation the MSM is trying very hard to ignore.

Massive Police Desertions Reported in Swat Valley
75 Percent of Buner District Police Have Left


Since the Pakistani military began its offensive in the Swat Valley, police across the valley and surrounding area have been deserting from their respective departments at an alarming rate. Over 30 percent of the overall force of the Malakand division have quit or simply stopped showing up for work in the past several months.

In the Buner district, which was among the first targets of the offensive, the number was a shocking 77.5%, as the source claimed that “310 cops out of the total 400 policemen have reportedly deserted the force.” Across the Swat Valley itself, 820 out of 2,000 deserted. In Upper and Lower Dir, roughly 250 out of 2,100 have left. The Buner police encouraged their members to flee with their families at the start of the offensive, but to report in after they arrived in camps. They eagerly left, but few appear to be reporting in.

Many national police are declining to be assigned to the area, preferring to quit instead of being deployed in Swat. Assignments to the picturesque valley have become incredibly dangerous, with the Taliban factions occupying or burning many of the stations, and capturing police in some towns.

I think its just nerve game what is going on... International Psy-Op. North Korea is shown now to whole world like worst of the worst evil state - Something what everyone should be afraid, and cause for join with USA to resist WMDs. (read against Iran) --- Welcome to "Operation Joint Lead!"

I believe that all main offensives are taking place in Iran-Syria-Israel-Georgia-Pakistan regions. I dont believe Korean peninsula will be at war anytime soon... There just not enough oil&gas.

But of course I can be wrong too - and if I am, and there will broke up a fight - that will strech US Army to its limits, maybe even to the breaking point, and Israel will loose again its momentum to attack Iran with USA.

Then I would say that this was all brilliant strategical move by SCO - or kind suicide from mr Dictator... But, I do think that North Korea is under banksters orders - and Jr Dictator is not his dad - US is feeding both sides of this problem.

I really would like to know the truth. Only thing we can say - is that this will rise better momentum for war against Irans possible nuke programs.

Washington, Beijing and maybe even Moscow are on a 3way hot line right this very moment. It's time. China wont allow the region to go under they need the economic boost and this would derail their economy faster than greased lightning.

LIL Kimmy's days might be numbered.

Hard to imagine that USA would ask Chinese help - Pakistan is sovereign country with long cooperation with China - I am sure they can do that easily without US help too... If, and propably US just cant resist that appeal to be done - this way its just look better in US news.

To them it must seem like ancient history, along with the battle of the bulge and the siege of Vicksburg. Time sure does fly...

This is from Reinhardt Journal:

"You can almost see revised history being written here

darnit, the global economies were all set for a recovery..

i’fn it weren’t for that nuclear war thingy"


Yep, it's very much like someone is about to shout: Wolf! Wolf!

But, we've heard it before, haven't we?

So, show aside, because we can see through it. It is the Illuminati/Reptile agenda, looking for some cheap excuses to start a big war. I think it is obvious now that the decision has been made a while ago and we've seen thorough preparations during last year or longer, and it's still going on.

And I'm very suspicious about those unconfirmed news that rats are leaving UAE quite speedily.

And also I saw here on ATS about Eastern part of Saudi Arabia declaring independence... That was not in the MSM.

Right, not lately. Only to me, since I made it visible only of lately.

I am superimposing analytical view over historical events, and analytical approach actually deals with human nature itself, not so much in a psychological way focusing on individual players (who are often hidden from plain sight) of this sick projection.

Gotcha. Not a bad way to fly.

Well, one thing to look at the constant drumbeat for "globalization." Who benefits the most from that? People who never had a firm allegence to or belief in a nation-state to begin with, who slide around the planet like carrion vultures, sucking the value out of one nation after another and discarding the husks like old tin cans.
