King of Jordan, Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein, in welcoming U.S. President Barack Obama, said Israel must accept the State of Palestine. He says the Arab Spring demands it, and he is anticipating an Arab Summer. He indicated that his government must follow the will of the Arab people!
The King of Jordan also expressed concern with the ongoing U.S. led war in Syria and the growing number of refugees coming into Jordan.

Remember when Barack Obama said he was going to close Guantanamo Bay torture facility? Not only did he fail to come through on that promise, but now he’s expanding it!
This comes as remaining prisoners have been on a hunger strike (not reported by main stream U.S. media). At least 24 prisoners have been protesting their bad treatment and claim that prison guards desecrated the Qur’an. By the way, did you ever notice the photos of prisoners being taken back to their cells on stretchers after they’ve gone through an interrogation session?
Now Commander in Chief Barack Obama has sent his Southern Command lackeys begging to Congress for more tax money to expand Gitmo.
It’s estimated that renovations and the building of a new prison (to replace the disputed ‘Camp 7’ site) for “special” inmates will cost up to $150 million to $196 million USD. And this is at a time when Obama ordered the military to cut overall spending. So he’s willing to spend more on making more room at the Gitmo Inn?
Does this have anything to do with NDAA 2013 and the coming stricter anti-Constitutional gun control laws, which is probably in preparation for the declaration of Martial Law?

In Badakhshan Province, a major battle between Mujahideen, Afghan National Army (ANA) and Police (ANP). Mujahideen claim they killed 20 ANA and ANP personnel, and wounded at least 10. The ANA and ANP launched an offensive in Wardaj district. Mujahideen say the fighting lasted all day, but they were able to almost surround the U.S. backed government forces and forced them to retreat. Mujahideen also destroyed three armored vehicles and captured 30 weapons. Only three Mujahideen were killed.
In Kandahar Province, a U.S./NATO led patrol entered Zangawat region’s Gerandi area, in Panjwaee district, in order to retrieve two bodies of personnel that had been killed earlier. Mujahideen ambushed them and a 30 minute long firefight took place. The U.S./NATO led forces eventually left, and two Mujahideen were killed.
Reports that Afghan and U.S./NATO officials are working on a deal to withdraw U.S. SOF personnel out of Maidan Wardak Province. It’s long past the deadline ordered by President Karzai for the SOF troops to get out. Civilians of the province say the U.S. troops are harassing, torturing and killing innocent people.
In Helmand Province, reports that an unarmed Mujahid attacked and then killed two Arbakis (contracted security/mercenaries). He did so by using their own weapons on them. He then took off with their weapons, ammo and a motorcycle. Also, in Marjah district, in the Tarkha Nawar area, reports of sporadic ongoing battles ever since U.S./NATO led forces were brought in by helicopters the day before.
In another controversy involving the U.S., the Bagram Prison (aka Parwan Detention Facility) has yet to be turned over to Afghan officials as promised. The National Ulema Council said if the U.S. does not get out of the prison then all U.S. forces will be considered enemy occupiers by the Council and military action will be taken. President Karzai says he’s agreed with U.S. officials to give yet another week to hand over the prison (boy, the U.S. must have committed a lot of crimes against humanity in there if it’s taking them this long to cover up their evil).
And President Karzai has told British media that the Obama administration has become desperate to work a new security deal. Karzai says under the new deal the U.S. will not leave Afghanistan. For some reason Obama is pushing hard for it, but Karzai says time is on his side now: “The Americans are in a hurry to sign it in three months. We are not in a hurry. We are careful.”

In Kandahar Province, a U.S./NATO helicopter crashed. One crewman was killed. As usual ISAF says there was no enemy activity in the area and they’re investigating the cause.
In Paktika Province, villagers in Tarwa district say Afghan government forces raided their homes. One villager was killed and two were kidnapped.
In Helmand Province, a U.S./NATO drone crashed in Marjah district. After that a U.S./NATO heliborne operation began, battles are reportedly still ongoing.
In Uruzgan Province, a local police commander joined the Mujahideen in Char Chino district.
In Herat Province, Spanish officials announced they are getting their troops out early. Already they’ve closed two bases and are working on closing a third. They hope to have all their troops out by 2014.

In Kunar Province, Mujahideen claim to have attacked a FOB (forward operating base) in Watapur district. They say they killed one U.S. troop and wounded two ANA troops.
In Ghazni Province, Mujahideen report more battles with U.S. and ANA forces in Shulgar district. They claim four U.S. personnel killed and four ANA personnel killed, dozens wounded.
In Logar Province, Mujahideen got four fuelers for the price of one. They say they remote detonated a bomb as one fuel tanker was passing, the resulting fire ball engulfed three other fuelers destroying them as well.
The World Bank announced yet more money for Afghanistan: “The World Bank Group is strongly committed to helping the Afghan people end poverty and build shared prosperity in the years ahead…..We will support programs in areas that the Afghan government has identified as crucial to meeting its development goals, including education, health, irrigation, energy, infrastructure and rural development. We are also focused on improving the government’s capacity to deliver services to its citizens, and on fostering a business climate that unleashes the job-creating potential of the private sector.”-Jim Yong Kim, President of World Bank

In Ghazni or Laghman Province, Mujahideen report they ambushed a U.S./ANA patrol. The report is confusing because it mentions two different provinces. Anyway, Mujahideen say the U.S. forces called in airstrikes afterwards.
In Nangarhar Province, three tribes joined the Mujahideen in Khogiyani district. They promised 250 of their men to help fight the occupation.
And the official number of U.S. personnel expected to remain after the supposed 2014 pullout is slowly creeping up. Now the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, James Cunningham, is asking to keep at least 13600 personnel incountry after 2014. Other U.S. officials stressed that it was just a starting number: “You have to start at 13600. That is the least risk with least amount of people. That allows us to be in the four corners of Afghanistan and continuing to train the Afghan military.”-Duncan Hunter, U.S. Representative from California

On 20 March the Syrian government demanded a United Nations investigation into the supposed gas attacks in Aleppo Province, and possibly in the city of Damascus.
Now the United States, France and United Kingdom (all backers of the insurgency) are working hard to delay the UN investigation. Why? If it turns out that a gas attack was launched by the Syrian government wouldn’t that play into their ‘red line’ threat of all out war?
Also, in a U.S. News & World Report article Maher Nana, co-founder of Syrian Support Group in Florida, said the Syrian government did not report any soldiers killed in the WMD attacks. A bold face lie as the Syrian government reported at least 10 of their soldiers killed in the Aleppo Province attack! Nana was using the bogus claim as a way to prove the gas attacks came from the Syrian government.

Officials with the U.S. government first denied a gas attack took place in Syria, saying there was no evidence, then said if WMD attack took place it was from the Syrian government.
But U.S. News & World Report says they have evidence the WMD attack was from a Syrian government Scud missile that missed its target. They also say there was a second gas attack in Damascus.
If you remember, last year the Obama administration said if the Syrian government used WMDs then the U.S. would go to war: “This is a red line for the United States. I am not going to telegraph in any specifics what we would do in the event of credible evidence that the Assad regime has resorted to using chemical weapons against their own people. But suffice it to say, we are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur.”-Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State at the end of 2012
Notice the choice of words Hillary used: “eventuality”. The Obama administration was pretty sure WMDs were going to be used.
Isn’t it interesting that the gas attack took place on the day Obama went to Israel? And where are the cries for action from the Israelis, who in the recent past have been all whiny about the Syrian ‘civil war’ (they even shot and killed Syrians trying to cross the border, and bombed Syrian military convoys near the Lebanese border)? Now everyone is being extra cautious in their statements, or not commenting at all.

The United Nations has unanimously approved the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for at least one more year. That would mean the UNAMA mission would end in March 2014.

The hundreds of killed and wounded in the U.S., European and Israeli backed gas attack in Syria, includes government soldiers, but mainly civilian men, women and children.
Independent reports say some insurgent groups had been warning they were going to use WMDs. Yesterday a U.S., European and Israeli backed interim insurgent government elected a U.S. citizen to be their Prime Minister.

Russian officials say they have documented that the chemical weapons attack in Aleppo province was launched by U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgents. Russian intelligence believe the insurgents captured the chemical armed rockets from the Syrian military.
The Syrian government says the insurgents got the WMDs from outside the country.
“I saw mostly women and children. Witnesses said that people were suffocating in the streets and the air smelt strongly of chlorine. People were dying in the streets and in their houses.”-Reuters photographer

U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgents in Syria attacked the province of Aleppo with chemical weapons! The attack comes as the Western powers recognized a interim government composed of insurgents, including one who is a U.S. citizen!
U.S. supported insurgents launched rockets into a city in Aleppo province. The rockets contained chemical weapons. So far reports say 25 civilians killed, 85 wounded.
The government of Syria has repeatedly said they would use chemical weapons only in retaliation for a first strike by insurgents. The insurgents have made the first strike!
Western puppet media claims the attack came from the Syrian government. Who you gonna believe? After all the Western media has a proven track record of reporting lie after lie by their respective governments.
