Al-Bayan writer Amrabi aks if the Arab adjusted their policies to the Russian - American new power struggle and how can they benefit from??
Russian comeback will effects our region and issues:
Arab nationalist writer Nahid Hattar in his article "wonderful world, Russia is back" counts the positives of the Russian comeback:
Syria will be able to return to strategic balance policy with of "Israel". A policy that is now more realistic than ever, with the growing strength of Hezbollah. The Russian comeback will harden Damascus positions on foreign policy........No longer possible to talk about the withdraw of Hezbollah's arms in Lebanon or change the equation in Lebanon.
A boost for Hamas role in the Palestinian arena at the expense of Abbas "authority".....Modern Russian weapons will flow to Iraq and serious difficulties will face the American army in the ability of Iraqi fighters to destroy tanks and vehicles and helicopters, just as happened with the Israeli army in South Lebanon 2006.
According to Egyptian website Al-Mesryoon, last two months there was a campaign in America to recruit Egyptians as interpreters in the American forces and to be sent to Iraq.
The Americans offer Green Card to Egyptians who sign a contract to work for at least six months, and the recruiters can extend the period.
Egyptians in problems with the immigration office receive SMS messages or telephone calls ask them to think about this "job opportunity" and the green card.
Saudi Arabia intelligence hacked the Jordanian website "Left Jordan" owned by Jordanian writer Nahidh Hattar.
A statement on the website says:
The Saudi intelligence hacked our website because we revealed the Saudi -Israeli role of targeting the nationalist movements, and the Saudi role of waging sectarian tension in the Arab countries generally and in Iraq and Lebanon specifically.
We will back soon.
Two speakers in the American Democratic Convention attacked Saudi Arabia. That means we will see a real new Saudi era and a new equation in the Middle East.
The biggest deficit in our nation's history. Money borrowed from the Chinese to buy oil from the Saudis.
At the same time, billions of dollars that we spend on all that foreign oil seems to end up in the bank accounts of those around the world who are openly hostile to American values and our way of life.

Iraqi prisoners in Boca kept from 6 months to 1 year maximum, 86% Sunnis and the rest are Shiites, that makes the total 16500 prisoners. This is what the American commander told Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.
Families of the inmates told the newspaper that their loved ones kept in Boca for 4-3 years without any charges or accusations.
Even with Maliki's government denial of targeting the "Awakening Councils", but the evidence existed since few weeks ago.
Nothing new in LAtimes report "Iraq seeks breakup of U.S.-funded Sunni fighters", all the information are reported on this site about six weeks ago "Maliki to disband Awakening Councils".
At that time an Iraqi website added that it is an agreement between the Sunni Islamic Party and Maliki to prevent the "American Militias" from forming political blocs competes against the IP.
