Breaking News on Terrorism

The president of the USA Georges Bush has called the Congress to give “real means”, but not just “virtual promises” of financings military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Bush has stressed that it is high time for Congress for providing US armies real financing.
The White House is already for some months conducting debate with Congress concerning the military budget of the USA for fiscal year, which has started on October, 1st, 2007. On the eve the Congress has gone on concessions of Bush’s administration, which provides allocation of 696 billion dollars for military needs - including additional 189 billion dollars on military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.
However, the bill does not give concrete budgetary appropriations on military operations.
The White House and the Pentagon warned, that if additional financing on military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan will not act, Ministry of Defense will be compelled to dismiss 100 thousand military men and 100 thousand civil employees of army of the USA the middle of February, 2008, and in a month dismissal can concern sea infantrymen.
Besides, problems with financing, the question with human victims becomes more urgent. We shall remind that the number of USA military men, diet in Iraq, has reached 3 thousand 892 people.
Last similar incident has occurred on the eve, when the American infantryman was shot in northwest of Iraq in result of skirmish with insurgents.

The USA has accepted the offer of Baghdad to lead new round of negotiations with Iran on safety in Iraq. The official representative of the USA State Department has informed on it today.
Washington considers the present moment “suitable” for the next meeting with representatives of Teheran. The USA has already transferred the information on the consent to the government of Iran. Reciprocal steps from Teheran have not followed yet.
It is worth of mentioning that if this meeting takes place, it will become the third round of negotiations between Washington and Teheran concerning safety in Iraq.
During the previous meetings Iran categorically refused charges of the USA in support of the Iraq insurgents and maintenance with their materials for creation of explosives.
At the same time on the eve the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran has told that strengthening of the Iraq government has allowed improving safety situation in Iraq. Safety in Iraq is also being provided by that fact that “foreign interventions” in business of the country were noticeably reduced. Other factor, which promoted decrease in a level of violence over Iraq, relies in strengthening the Iraq safety forces.
During the last months the number of terrorist attacks in Iraq was noticeably reduced. The American command, in turn, connects it with increase of US contingent in Iraq on 30 thousand soldiers.

US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has addressed to the American congressmen with the requirement to approve additional financing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan within the nearest days.
Otherwise the head of the Pentagon threatens, that he will have to give the order on dismissal to the middle of February 100 thousand military men and 100 thousand civil employees of US army and in a month of dismissal can concern sea infantrymen.
Gates has told that it is erroneous understanding that Ministry of Defenses can continue to finance military operations for the uncertain period by accounting manipulations. As he said, the Ministry can manage only 3,7 billion dollars that pays expenses of militarians for one week.
Earlier the White House has requested 196 billion dollars for continuation of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2007-2008 financial year, which has started on October, 1st, 2007. However, the democratic opposition in the House of Representatives has voted for allocation of only 50 billion dollars with a condition of the beginning of withdrawal of armies till December 2008.
President Georges Bush has declared that he will put a veto for this bill. In reply to this statements, democrats have let know, that in this case the congress will return to discussion of a question on additional financing operations only in the end of the year, and till this moment the Pentagon should spend for war 471 billion dollars.

The US President Georges Bush has declared Iran represents “dangerous threat for the world” and its nuclear weapon can lead to the Third World War. 
Making speech in the White House, George Bush has told that they have the leader in Iran, who has declared that he wishes to destroy Israel; and if World Society  is interested in avoiding the Third World War, obviously you should be interested in prevention of hit in their hands the knowledge, necessary for the nuclear weapon creation.
The American leader has also expressed hope, that the President of Russia will share with him the results of recent negotiations in Teheran and will clear the position on this problem.
Bush has told that he is very much interested whether Putin continues to share the same position concerning Iran. According to the White House’s leader, during a meeting in Australia in September Putin has confirmed that he recognizes - that the World Community is not interested that Iran had an opportunity to create the nuclear weapon.
Bush has also confirmed, that the USA is measured to insist on the diplomatic salvation of the Iranian nuclear problem and supports introduction of new sanctions.
 

USA can begin withdrawal of their troops from Iraq in the winter of current year. Such application has been made by America’s top commander, General David Petreus at press the conference in London.
As he said, by the summer 2008, there will be 15 brigades in Iraq that is on a quarter less, than now. David Petreus has emphasized, that it is a question of the American military contingent. He has also noted that the question on troop’s withdrawal will be finally solved despite of any character of further situation in Iran.
Let’s remind, earlier David Petreus declared that he supposes, that till the middle 2008, almost 30 thousand soldiers will be withdrawn from Iraq. According to the military leader, the additional for soldiers, which have arrived to Iraq this year, “have basically carried out the problems”. He has also mentioned, as after this step a number of American soldiers will be withdrawn from Iraq.
Now the number of the American contingent in Iraq makes almost 160 thousand people. Nevertheless World Society is still continuing to criticize Bush’s military strategy in Iraq.

As American telechannel Fox-News, referring to own sources in the White House, transfers, administration of the US President Georges Bush actively discusses plans of possible bombing attack across Iran. The reason of activization of discussion of the power decision of the Iranian problem was provoked by recent decision of Germany to refuse from any sanctions concerning Teheran, imposed by UN Security Council.
According to “well informed source” of the telechannel, “all in city (Washington) ” are now actively participating in wide discussions about the price and benefit of military operation against Iran, which might have been held within the following eight-ten months - after results of preliminary presidential elections will be already certain, but still there will be enough time before final round 2008.
Discussion is being conducted in two basic directions: intrusion by the minimal forces, which would lead to blockade of the Iranian oil and gas export (a measure called negatively to affect for a life of ordinary Iranian people, but not the government), and also total bombardment of the country.
The opportunity of military actions against Iran is periodically discussed in Washington among ways which could force to refuse Teheran from the nuclear program. The West is afraid, that Iran works above creation of the nuclear weapon. Teheran approves, that nuclear development are conducted exclusively with a view of peace power.
 

The American military department has declared about competition on development of technologies, which would provide the USA with the military superiority in sub polar areas. Washington consider “providing of access” to natural resources and “maintenance of stability” as the purpose of possible operations in Arctic regions.
Sharply become aggravated rivalry of world powers in struggle for natural riches and transport ways in Arctic regions forces transatlantic strategists to plan large-scale fighting operations on the Far North. Recently Management of perspective researches and development of the US Ministry of Defense, supervising allocation of assignments for defensive projects (it is known, that agency’s budget makes $3,2 billion), has declared about competition on creation of technologies, which would provide the military superiority in sub polar areas.
As the American mass-media resources inform, now the US Congress considers a question on allocation of 8,7 billion dollars for needs of the US coast guard. From them 100 million intend for service of three Arctic ice breakers. Besides, the significant sum should go on construction of two more ice breakers. Observers believe that all this specifies that the USA is intended to increase the presence at Arctic regions.

The Ministry of Defense of the USA has informed that 190 thousand units of the small arms, which have been given out to the Iraq power structures in 2004-2005, have disappeared. The lost techniques makes more than a half of arsenal, which ware given to polices and armies.
According to militaries, the USA have allocated to Iraq since June, 2004, till September, 2005, 355 thousand units of a small arms, including 185 thousand automatic devices and 170 thousand pistols. At the same time the Pentagon cannot inform, where at present there is 110 thousand automatic devices and 80 thousand pistols from among given out.
In the report of controlling managements of the US Congress it is informed that the American military department cannot also precisely specify a site 135 thousand of armored outfits and 115 thousand of helmets, which should be given out to Iraqis by the end of September 2005. In the report words of officials that responsible bodies were too small to supervise each unit of the weapon and each element of the equipments, which have been given out to the Iraq armies, are being quoted.
The report has caused fears concerning probable hit of the American weapon in hands of insurgents.
It is necessary to note, that since 2003 the USA have allocated nearby 19,2 billion dollars for development of the safety forces in Iraq. Thus the Congress did not foresee the program for Iraq in number of traditional programs of the military help that gives the Pentagon significant flexibility in use of means. Meanwhile all is far not money allocated by Americans are used to destination. So, in the end of the last year large scandal in connection with plunders of the means allocated for arms of army of Iraq has occurred. Then former Iraq Minister of Finance has made the loud application that the Iraq officials have plundered up to 800 million dollars, allocated for arms of Iraq’s army.

In the result of strong explosion at the airport at aerospace research center Mojave Air and Space Port in the Californian Mohave desert 2 people were killed and four people have received serious wounds. Incident has occurred in one of the remote constructions in territory of airfield.
It is still unknown, what actually became the reason of explosion, however, as it has been informed, that nitrous oxide also known as “amusing gas” could be used on the place of the incident.
Company Scaled Composites, to which the premise belongs, uses nitrous oxide as an oxidizer in the rocket engines. It is worth of mentioning that oxidizers are intended for increase of efficiency of burning and are extremely explosive.
According to the mass-media messages, now there are scale destructions on the ground. On shootings from the helicopter which the American telechannels show, fragments of the equipment and the vehicles, scattered on a take-off platform are also visible. Now best physicians, experts on dangerous chemicals and explosion-dangerous components are carrying out research works at the place of incident. Authorities are afraid, that at explosion harmful substances could get into the air.
Two years ago Scaled Composites has constructed first private spacecraft SpaceShipOne. Now the company is engaged in development of a passenger spacecraft, which can be maintained in commercial objectives.

The president of the USA Georges Bush has signed the decree, forbidding to use strict measures of influence at interrogation of suspected in terrorist activity people. American leader opposes cruelty and the brutal attitude, humiliation and the insult of religious feelings.
The White House has not informed, whether CIA has a special scheme of carrying out of interrogations, however it has emphasized, that in case of presence those, all the restrictions, introduced by George Bush, should be considered. As White House’s press-secretary has mentioned, the President repeatedly marked necessity of precise standards for CIA’ work and its employees precisely knew how they should perform their work.
George Bush’s decree also obliges to provide prisoners with good feed, pure water, clothes, protection against too high or low temperatures and necessary medical aid. The management of CIA should watch constantly the scheme of interrogation of prisoners and let out necessary internal documents and instructions.
Proceeding from the new decree, it is possible to assume, that severe measures of influence are nevertheless applied in the CIA. Earlier, for example, the USA categorically refused to admit the fact of presence of confidential CIA’s prisons in the Europe. However, in September 2006, Bush has been compelled to recognize existence of such establishments in the foreign states’ territory.
Unfortunately, it is not known, what exactly forced to sign today’s decree. Meanwhile the given document can become a good occasion for new international scandal or give a new push to scandal around the confidential prisons.
