Description:
From the Introduction by Rey Claro C. Casambre:
"The articles, statements, speeches and interviews included in this volume were written from November 2006 to August 2009.
Within this period, the US financial bubble burst with the mortgage and credit derivatives meltdown spilling beyond US borders at electronic speed and triggering the worst global financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression. The US-led invasion of Iraq purportedly to "liberate" the Iraqis from Saddam Hussein's rule and destroy his alleged weapons of mass destruction or WMDs was fully exposed as a superpower grab for territory and strategic resources. The occupation of Iraq had floundered with bush and other US authorities admitting they had no clear plan for quelling the Iraqi resistance and withdrawing from Iraq...
The articles, presented chronologically, were mostly written and issued as commentaries on or analyses of major events or significant developments."
