EU and Russia to discuss partnership Russia Today reports.
Russia Today:New kids on the block better listen – EU
“My message to Poland and Lithuania is that it’s better for you to be with all of the member-states in expressing a single view rather than having different views towards Russia,” Barroso said.
The situation seems to have changed drastically over the past two weeks, as the UK had abandoned the earlier demand to freeze EU-Russia relations and voiced the readiness for a new page in that relationship. The Czech Republic, Sweden, Estonia and Latvia sided with the UK.
Only Lithuania and Poland adhered to the position voiced upon the beginning of August hostilities in Georgia. However, the UK refused to sign that document. In fact, the EU does not need authorisation from other EU agencies for resuming negotiations on a new strategic partnership agreement with Russia, as French representative Christine Roget told a Friday press briefing before the EU informal summit.

Mark Almond:Plucky little Georgia? No, the cold war reading won’t wash
Although Mikheil Saakashvili has done little for the refugees since he came to power early in 2004 - apart from move them out of their hostels in central Tbilisi to make way for property development - he has spent 70% of the Georgian budget on his military. At the start of the week he decided to flex his muscles. (more…)

“Sure, this proclamation [of independence] blows up the founded international right on the sovereignty of the States. “ - Former KFOR commander gen. Fabio Mini.
One of the worlds largest US overseas military bases is built in Kosovo on the border to Macedonia.
William F. Engdahl:Kosovo and Washington’s Strategic Agenda for Europe and Eurasia
The US strategic agenda for Kosovo is primarily military, and its prime focus is against Russia and for control of oil flows from the Caspian Sea to the Middle East into Western Europe. By declaring its independence, Washington gains a weak state which it can fully control. So long as it remained a part of Serbia, that NATO military control would be politically insecure. Today Kosovo is controlled as a military satrapy of NATO, whose KFOR has 16,000 troops there for a tiny population of 2 millions. (more…)

First Putin exposed the duplicity about the missile-defense for everybody to watch by offering a, for detection of “Iranian missiles” superior location of the Czech radar station, in Azerbaijan. USA declined and removed all possible doubts about the shield’s purpose.

Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was murdered 12/27-2007 by two gunshots after a political rally in Rawalpindi, a brave woman with political courage and ambitions to find the financial sources of terrorism.
In a TV-interview with David Frost 11/2- 2007 about Pakistans perilous situation, Ms Bhutto talks about the people who she assumed were responsible for a previous attempt on her life, one of them with ties to Omar Saeed Sheik, the man who according to Bhutto, murdered Usama Bin Laden.
BBC News edited the interview and deleted the following statement by Ms Bhutto: “and he also had dealings with Omar Sheik, the man who murdered Usama Bin Laden“. Apparently FOX News joins BBC’s censorship, here is a copy from Al Jazeera where the statement still can be heard @6:10.
Was it the sensational claim about Bin Ladens death that prompted BBCs censors or the more sensitive information about Omar Saeed Sheiks relation to ISI and the Pakistani government? Information about Omar Saeed Sheiks has a long history of distortion and disappearance in media related to, as Ms Bhutto said -finding the financial sources of terrorism.
