Policy Watch Interview with Jim Lobe, IPS Washington Bureau Chief



Jim Lobe has served as the Washington D.C. correspondent and Bureau Chief of Inter Press Service (IPS) from 1980 to 1985, and again from 1989 to the present. IPS is an international news and feature agency that specializes in the coverage of events and issues of interest to or affecting developing countries. Since 2001, Lobe has served on the Foreign Policy in Focus Board of Advisors.

I recommend Jim Lobe's latest blog, Ignatius Concludes Bombing “Not Likely” August 3rd, 2008, which includes a free download of the study by the Washington Institute for Near Policy, The Last Resort: Consequences of Preventive Military Action against Iran.

The Americans use opinion polls given to the Iraqis against them. Their polls show they want to nationalize their oil and have a more socialist type government with foreign troops gone. That's why US troops will never leave, what the Iraqis want is not good for fatcat business.

My government's spin on things is so obvious, but people still fall for it.

Thanks Caroline.
