According to World Bank President's Robert Zoellick.

Ahead of the G8 summit,  taking place in Japan from July 7 to July 9, he is making an urgent appeal for G8 leaders and major oil producers " To act now to address the man made catastrophe" caused by soaring food and oil prices.

In a letter, to Japan's Prime Minister Fukuda and all the others G8 leaders, sent on July 1st,  Zoellick warned that : " We are entering a danger zone". Further he added that " the crisis has worsened since April."

 Today, British newspaper's The Guardian revealed that the World Bank had ( since April) an internal secret report pointing at biofuel as the major cause for the global food crisis.

According to the World Bank secret report, biofuels ( specially corn) have made  global food prices rise by 75 %. The figure contradicts ( what a surprise!) the Bush Administration's claims that biofuel contribute for less than 3 % of food price increases.

As we all know, Senator Obama owns his victory over Senator Clinton during the primaries to the left of the Democratic party;  AKA  the Progressive  Democrats.

They have they outlets in the form of the Daily Kos, Moveon.org, Code Pink etc, and a very specific agenda.

The core element of this political agenda is to end the war in Iraq. It is also to keep pushing for an impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, even so the timing of it would be ludicrous considering that the  Bush Administration is.....out of time.

 It is likely, at least according to Seymour Hersh from the New-Yorker magazine.

In his article, to be published the 7th of July, Hersh explains how the Bush Administration is in the process of stepping up its operations against Iran.

The covert operations have being going on for sometime, but last year the US  Congress agreed to a request from the Bush Administration to fund covert operations in Iran for an amount of 400 million dollars.

Today the US Army released a 720 pages official report based on interviews with more than 200 senior Army officers involved in the invasion of Iraq. The main conclusion,  in the Army's report, says its senior leaders failed to properly plan for the aftermath of the 2003 invasion.

It is an honest attempt to expose the mistakes that were made. Retired General Scales says the report is very candid and calls it a " chronicle of  failure".
