‘US military too weak to invade Iran’
US president Barack Obama has insisted on his country’s unbreakable ties with Israel.
Speaking to reporters alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington on Monday, Obama said the US is committed to the security of Israel and that the two sides’ militaries and intelligence agencies have close consultations on matters related to their foreign policies.
Obama said his discussions with Netanyahu will focus on Iran’s nuclear energy program, adding that his administration is keeping all options on the table for dealing with Iran.
Tehran strongly rejects the allegations. The Islamic Republic stresses that its nuclear energy program is purely civilian.
Press TV talks with Gordon Duff, with Veterans Today from Ohio, to shed more light on the issue.

“Confidence Men” written by Ron Suskind-Epilogue-03-05-2012
In this edition of the show we discuss the book; Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington, and the Education of a President, written by Ron Suskind.
The hidden history of Wall Street and the White House comes down to a single, powerful, quintessentially American concept: confidence. Both centers of power, tapping brazen innovations over the past three decades, learned how to manufacture it.
In this gripping and brilliantly reported book, Ron Suskind tells the story of what happened next, as Wall Street struggled to save itself while a man with little experience and soaring rhetoric emerged from obscurity to usher in “a new era of responsibility.”
It is a story that follows the journey of Barack Obama, who rose as the country fell, and offers the first full portrait of his tumultuous presidency.
Wall Street found that straying from long-standing principles of transparency, accountability, and fair dealing opened a path to stunning profits.
Obama’s determination to reverse that trend was essential to his ascendance, especially when Wall Street collapsed during the fall of an election year and the two candidates could audition for the presidency by responding to a national crisis.
But as he stood on the stage in Grant Park, a shudder went through Barack Obama. He would now have to command Washington, tame New York, and rescue the economy in the first real management job of his life.
The new president surrounded himself with a team of seasoned players?like Rahm Emanuel, Larry Summers, and Tim Geithner?who had served a different president in a different time.
As the nation’s crises deepened, Obama’s deputies often ignored the president’s decisions?”to protect him from himself”?while they fought to seize control of a rudderless White House.
Bitter disputes?between men and women, policy and politics?ruled the day. The result was an administration that found itself overtaken by events as, year to year, Obama struggled to grow into the world’s toughest job and, in desperation, take control of his own administration.

Internet censorship in the West-A Simple Question-03-05-2012
Despite its historic and international reputation for heralding free speech, the United Kingdom has the second strictest censorship of the internet in the European Union.
The UK has a number of laws and policies that restrict the way information can be made public, including some that make it illegal to report on information that the government or corporations are trying to keep secret.
During the London riots, David Cameron ordered the censorship of social networking sites, and his censorship plans have been applauded by China.
Western governments are attempting to put forward laws that further restrict the freedoms of internet usage such as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), Protect IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
These are all argued to be internet filtering systems and policies on a national and international level that stifle the ability of internet users to discuss, question and critique and risks the internet becoming a tool of political and economic power for the ruling elite.
In this edition of the show we talk to British public about the Freedom of Information in the West and ask; why do you think Western governments engage in censorship and make it illegal for the public to share certain information?

Israel pushes US to attack Iran-The Real Deal-03-04-2012
Israel is pressing for the US to explicitly threaten military action against Iran if sanctions fail to dissuade the country from developing its nuclear energy industry.
Iran has repeatedly said that the nuclear program is a peaceful one and denies that it intends to develop nuclear weapons and that there is no evidence as it is aiming to do so.
Israel has made it known that it will not notify the US before any attack on Iran.
This is while, the Americans have made it clear that they want time for sanctions to take effect.
Meanwhile, a young athlete from Gaza, Bahaa al-Farra, will be competing in the London Olympics together with three other Palestinians from the West Bank.
Bahaa has no job, no sponsorship and only the most rudimentary of training facilities. He will be carrying Palestinian flag in front of a global audience in the opening ceremony and the message is “despite the blockade, despite the attempts to wipe Palestine from the map, Palestine exists and will not be written out of history,” says George Galloway.
