The episode has echoes of the cold war era, when the United States and the Soviet Union regularly parked submarines off each otherrsquo;s coasts to steal military secrets, track the movements of their underwater fleets mdash; and be poised for war.

Thursday, July 23, the newly upgraded Arrow II missile defense system, poised for its first long-range test at the US Pacific range off the central California coast, could not be launched because of "interceptor problems." This left Israel's key defense system, designed to intercept long-range Iranian or Syrian missiles 1,000 kilometers from their launch point, unproven. The Israeli defense establishment said the problems preventing the launch came from "malfunctions in the communications system." British Forces Don't Have Enough Helicopters in Afghanistan.

Bungling officials placed an order for eight helicopters 14 years ago. But the contract was so 'appallingly' written that the Chinooks were never airworthy and have languished in a hangar since 2001. Now we are borrowing Russian helicopters to fight the Taliban British frontline troops in Afghanistan are so short of helicopters and transport planes that they are being bailed out by the Russians. The Mail on Sunday has established that the Ministry of Defence is using civilian Russian-built Mi-8 and Mi-26 transport helicopters to ferry supplies and soldiers in Afghanistan. The pilots are freelance Russians and Ukrainians. Marines Testing Unmanned Helicopter K-Max Unmanned Helicopter Lockheed Martin and Kaman Aerospace demonstrated the feasibility of using their K-Max unmanned helicopter as a supply transport for the United States Army and Marine Corps.

From DEBKAfile: President Obama favored losing candidate in Iran's election DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis June 13, 2009 Friday night, June 12, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was already on his way to victory in Iran's turbulent presidential election although only the first votes had been counted. By Saturday morning, it was clear he had won a landslide for a second term, widening the gap with his closest rival opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. Yet strangely enough, even then, Washington and the US media were still doggedly insisting that that the reformist Mousavi could still make it in a run-off, although that door had been finally slammed shut by the president's broad majority. So how come the Obama administration, with so much at stake, continued to back the loser well after his defeat could no longer be denied? DEBKAfile's Washington sources have two explanations: 1. The White House was given erroneous intelligence evaluations about the way Iran's presidential election was managed. The administration's Iranian experts missed the point that in Middle East politics (except for Israel) it is not the people who determine an election, the shape of government and its policies but the unelected head of the tribe - in this case supreme ruler Khamenei.

From al Jazeera: Swat: Pakistan's lost paradise Their actions have made a mockery of the government's commitment a day earlier that the schools would reopen with its patronage and protection. Only last week did the national parliament pass a resolution, rejecting the ban on female education and condemning the blowing up of schools. Washington Post Taliban-Style Justice Stirs Growing Anger The refugees are the "victims of ignorant cavemen masquerading as fighters of Islam," columnist Shafqat Mahmood charged in the News International newspaper Friday. He said that the "barbarian horde" that invaded Swat never intended to implement a sharia-based judicial system and that they just used it as cover. "This is a fight for power, not Islam," he wrote. Debka.com Pakistan hangs back from major Swat offensive, talks secretly to Taliban While by no means a phony war, DEBKAfile's military sources report that accounts of a major Pakistan military offensive launched to flush Taliban out of their strongholds in the northern Swat Valley are generally inflated. This is not to say that hundreds of thousands of civilians are not fleeing the valley. Some half a million are on the move and will join the same number displaced since August, generating a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe. According to our sources, the Pakistani army has so far not fought a single pitched battle with the Taliban. Neither have the insurgents been rooted out of any of the cities and villages under their control.
