    US threatens Iran sanctions next week
    New York (dpa) - While the United Nations and European Union promised to study Iran’s reply, the United States said Tuesday it would begin discussion of economic sanctions if Iran continued to defy a UN Security Council demand to suspend all its uranium conversion activities by August 31.
    The European Union in Brussels confirmed Tuesday that it had received Iran’s formal reply to the package of economic incentives offered by Western nations in (…)

    Voice of the White House August 19, 2006 Posted 22/08/2006 TBR News.org - August 19, 2006
    “Ever since the extremist attacks on various American targets on September 11, 2001, an enormous body of literature, mostly theory and supposition, has erupted throughout the world. The real story about this tragedy is far more interesting, and provable, than the great forests of fiction that have grown up around it. There are two parts to this story. There is no point going over the known facts (…)

    I came away from President Bush’s Press conference feeling invigorated; more alive and more jubilant than ever!
    The President told us that we must stay the course in Iraq (and obviously in Afghanistan) for as long as it takes; that our troops won’t be pulled out as long as he’s the Commander in Chief.
    I like that tough and courageous approach to peace and democracy in this precarious world. God and man, working in unison, with dedication and generosity to win hearts, minds, and a new (…)

    The Master Strategery of Imagination
    By Peter Fredson
    August 22, 2006
    At the press conference yesterday, a reporter quizzed Bush: ‘Mr. President, I’d like to go back to Iraq. You’ve continually cited the elections, the new government, its progress in Iraq, and yet the violence has gotten worse in certain areas. You’ve had to go to Baghdad again. Is it not time for a new strategy? And if not, why not?”
    President: “You’ve covered the Pentagon, you know that the Pentagon is constantly (…)

    Their life is so practical, so confused, so excited, so active, that little time remains for them for thought.
    Alexis deTocqueville - "Democracy in America" 1835
    Much has changed since deTocqueville, a French aristocrat visiting America for the purpose of finding solutions to the penitentiary problems in France, toured America. At least on the surface. New ethnic groups. The suburbs. The Digital Revolution. Paperless money. Super highways. Super markets. Super sized food. And (…)

    Bush says Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — (OfficialWire) — 08/22/06 — Despite White House efforts to expunge his clear and unambiguous statement from transcripts, I think enough people actually heard George W. Bush say, during yesterday’s Press Conference, that Iraq had "Nothing" to do with 9/11-to qualify the assertion that the text had been removed from the ’official transcript’, because of ’hecklers’, as ridiculous, if not criminal.
    At long last, the president has (…)

    Bush Loses Lebanon at the Roulette Table by Ahmed Amr
    Sunday August 20, 2006
    On the Arab Street, the United States is getting a well-deserved share of vilification for promoting the orgy of violence that has already claimed the lives of over a thousand Lebanese civilians. That figure might be no more than a statistic in America. But, due to extensive live coverage on satellite TV, millions of Arabs now have the ability to attend the funerals of many of the victims. Every casualty is (…)

  • In the face of Bush’s lies, it’s left to Assad to tell the truth
    22 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    de Robert Fisk
    In the sparse Baathist drawing rooms of Damascus, reality often seems a long way away. But it was a sign of the times that President Bashar al-Assad was able to bring the great and the good of Damascus to their feet by the simple token of telling the truth - which no other Arab leader has chosen to do these past five weeks: that the Lebanese Hizbollah guerrilla army has, in effect, won this round of their war with Israel.
    There was plenty of hyperbole in the Assad speech. (…)

    During the course of writing this article, I reached for my handy thesaurus to find appropriate synonyms to describe the profession of “cable television news journalist.”
    There were three: 1). Pseudo-journalist, a.k.a. professional liar; 2). Bottom feeding scum sucker who regurgitates garbage; 3). A coward often known to hawk unjust and illegal wars from the safety of television studios while avoiding military service.
    Okay, I confess. There were no such descriptions in my thesaurus. (…)
