In memory of James Foley “ [James Foley] was kidnapped near the town of Taftanaz, in northern Syria, on 22 November 2012. He covered the conflict in Libya in 2011 before going to Syria to cover the uprising against the Assad regime for the US news site GlobalPost, the French news agency AFP and other media.

In a Facebook message to supporters late yesterday, she wrote: 'He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people.'” “ Three foreign journalists are still being held hostage in Syria, while four others are missing there. Armed groups are currently holding around 20 Syrian (professional and non-professional) journalists, wh

Ο Ομπάμα ευχαρίστησε τους πάντες, χωρίς ωστόσο να μπει στον κόπο να αναφερθεί ονομαστικά στην Ελλάδα: " Ευχαριστούμε επίσης τους στενούς μας συμμάχους και εταίρους - Δανία, Νορβηγία, Ιταλία, Φινλανδία, Γερμανία και Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο - για την κομβική συνεισφορά τους σε αυτή την αποστολή και εκτιμούμε την υποστήριξη της Ρωσίας και της Κίνας ."

Washington probably thinks that current Greek government is ready to fall by system failure It is so hard someone to believe this. It's another good indication of what Greece has become, one more time, to the powers that always determined its destiny. Barack Obama announced the successful destruction of Syrian chemicals but didn't bother to mention Greece, even among "allies": US President Obama said that his administration was grateful to the joint mission of the United States and its Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) that helped to “rid the Syrian regime of its chemical weapons” in a White House statement, published on Monday. “ We also thank our close allies and partners – Denmark, Norway, Italy, Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom – for their key contributions to this mission, and we appreciate the assistance of Russia and China,” Barack Obama said in the statement. http:/
