There are literally hundreds of thousands of US soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen who were separated from their families for years, faced deadly adversity, injury, mental anguish and even death, because they were told they needed to confront the threat that was international terrorism. Now the very same men they sacrificed so much to fight against are being apologized for and propped up as the new leaders of an entire nation. This is not just being done by politicians or corporate interests, but also by organizations affiliated with the US military itself.

What's more is that US pilots, special forces, sailors, and Marines are being called upon now to help depose Qaddafi - a man genuinely dedicated to ending LIFG's and thus Al Qaeda's reign of terror in Northern Africa. And as LIFG is still listed as an foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department, it is clear that US Congressmen supporting NATO's intervention in Libya, including John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Joseph Lieberman, along with Obama's presidential cabinet, especially Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, are all guilty of knowingly providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization in violation of USC § 2339A & USC § 2339B.

This is an egregious betrayal against both the United States as a nation, and America's armed forces who have been thoroughly made fools of by a government reveling in their duplicity.

Any form of political concession and autonomy from Member States of the euro zone had many political reactions and was considered impossible. Large areas of Europe had previously been very strong, such as the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Frankish Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, the First French Empire and Nazi Germany.

In the old times, a peaceful means of some consolidation of European territories used to be provided by dynastic unions; less common were country-level unions, such as the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Largely due to the devastating effects of war many people turned to the idea of some form of unified Europe, notably William Penn, Abbot Charles de Saint-Pierre, Victor Hugo, Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and Giuseppe Mazzini. Such ideas became greater in Europe following World War I, with the massive loss of life it entailed, but it was not until after World War II those real steps were taken.

Since the European Union has undergone so many changes it is left to be seen if another change will be formed in the coming years OR EVEN MONTHS.

The alert will be in effect Tuesday between 11 am and 6 pm. During that time, customers are asked to keep thermostats at 78 degrees or higher, to turn off air conditioning when not at home, to turn off unnecessary lights and appliances, and to restrict the use of major appliances to the morning and late evening.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that scenario would be "dwarfed" by the prospect of an Iranian bomb, which he describes as tantamount to a second Holocaust - language that seems to herald a Jewish call to arms. Some commentators ask whether a Jewish state shaped through decades of war has become more fearful of the consequences in the face of Iran, a formidable and distant foe capable, along with Islamist guerrilla allies in Lebanon and Gaza, of raining down thousands of missiles and rockets in retaliation.

For over three months, even state agencies have been providing free fodder to those most vulnerable to a shortfall in India's annual monsoon - farmers who eke a living out of small landholdings and the milk provided by cattle. India is heavily dependent on the capricious annual monsoon, which brings about 75 percent of the rainfall that the country receives, to irrigate crops and fill its reservoirs.

Just over halfway through this season, the rains are 17 percent below normal, and the weather office has forecast that the El Nino weather pattern will bring more disappointment in the few weeks that remain. The drought, India's first since 2009, will not bring a shortage of staples as the nation's grain stores are overflowing with rice and wheat, and sugar output is set to exceed demand for a third straight year.

But it will deal a devastating blow to grain crops used for animal feed. That would badly hit the vast majority of the country's farmers who - with cattle and small landholdings their only assets - struggle to survive at the best of times.

As testing began, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had chalked up "a significant improvement" in its home front defence capabilities, mentioning its highly-vaunted anti-missile systems such as Iron Dome and Arrow 2.

"There has been a significant improvement in our level of defence capacity on the home front: with Iron Dome, with the Arrow, in terms of protection and shelters, in advanced warning systems and in other areas," he said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting. "But all the threats which are directed towards the Israeli home front are dwarfed by another threat - different in both its scope and its essence. And so I repeat: Iran must never be allowed to get nuclear weapons."

Israel is widely suspected to have the region's sole, if undeclared, nuclear arsenal.

"I hope that we have a real European constitution and that there will also be a referendum on it," he told the Sunday edition of Germany's biggest-circulation newspaper, Bild. The idea to hold a referendum on what Chancellor Angela Merkel sees as the only way out of the crisis - the formation of a true "political union" - has gained momentum in Germany.

"We need a political union. That means we have to give up further competencies to Europe, step by step, in an ongoing process," she told ARD public television earlier this month. Politicians both in the ruling coalition and in the opposition in recent weeks have said this is the only way to legitimise new transfers of power to EU institutions, which would go beyond what the current German constitution allows.

German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble, from Merkel's own Christian-Democratic Union was the first to float the idea in June. He was followed by Bavarian Conservatives and now members of the liberal Free Democratic Party, Merkel's junior coalition member.

Tony Blair warned that this would happen if too many powers were transferred to Brussels without democratic legitimacy. Prime Minister David Cameron has supported the possibility of a referendum on EU membership - a thing which the Daily Express has long campaigned for.

He said last month it was a "perfectly honourable position" to call for an immediate referendum on Britain's EU membership but that he would never campaign for an "out" vote because leaving the EU would not serve British interests.

Blair told Die Zeit newspaper that it was clear the eurozone crisis had had a negative effect on people's perceptions of the EU in Britain and that the crisis would lead to a 'powerful political change' which would see Brussels claim more power over the nations belonging to it.

The European Central Bank is preparing to print “whatever it takes” to save Spain and Italy. Markets are pricing in an 80 per cent chance of yet more printing by the US Federal Reserve in September or soon after. There is no doubt that the three superpowers acting in concert can launch a mini-cycle of growth early next year - assuming they deliver on their rhetoric - but the twin headwinds of debt-leveraging and excess manufacturing plant across the globe cannot easily be conjured away.

The world remains in barely contained slump. Industrial output is still below earlier peaks in Germany (-2), US (-3), Canada (-8) France (-9), Sweden (-10), Britain (-11), Belgium (-12), Japan (-15), Hungary (-15) Italy (-17), Spain (-22), Greece (-27), according to St Louis Fed data. By that gauge this is proving more intractable than the Great Depression.

Some date the crisis to August 9 2007, the day it became clear that Europe’s banks were up to their necks in US housing debt. The ECB flooded markets with €95 billion of liquidity. It seemed a lot of money then. The term “trillion” was still banned by the Telegraph style book in those innocent days. We have since learned to swing with the modern dance music from central banks.

Germany is still running a surplus of 5.2 per cent, down from 7.4 per cent in 2007. The North has refused to offset the demand squeeze in Club Med. Indeed, Germany legislated its own internal squeeze through a balanced budget law and imposed this curse on the rest of Euroland. The effect is to trap Euroland in chronic slump, at least until the victims rebel and take matters into their own hands.

Mr Mursi also said a constitutional declaration by the military aimed at curbing his powers had been cancelled. The generals assumed presidential powers after the fall of Hosni Mubarak. "The decisions I took today were not meant ever to target certain persons, nor did I intend to embarrass institutions, nor was my aim to narrow freedoms," Mr Mursi said during a speech to mark the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

"I did not mean to send a negative message about anyone, but my aim was the benefit of this nation and its people," he said. The president also praised the armed forces, saying they would now focus "on the holy mission of protecting the nation".
