Can you name the one country on earth where the government can steal elections, strip away basic rights, spy on citizens, and launch wars based on lies, but where the people do not take over the nation’s capital in protest?

Are our troops fighting a dirty Afghan war?

by John Martinkus
IT WAS a Stanley meets Dr Livingstone moment and if it hadn’t been so tragic, it would have been hilarious. I was sitting in the office of Uruzgan’s Governor, Abdul Munib, filming an interview with him in May this year when two Australian officers and an American walked in complete with body armour and weapons.
The Governor introduced me as an Australian journalist and the two Australian officers simply ran out of the room, leaving their American colleague to turn to (…) -

In the days after Hezbollah crossed from Lebanon into Israel, on July 12th, to kidnap two soldiers, triggering an Israeli air attack on Lebanon and a full-scale war, the Bush Administration seemed strangely passive. “It’s a moment of clarification,” President George W. Bush said at the G-8 summit, in St. Petersburg, on July 16th. “It’s now become clear why we don’t have peace in the Middle East.” He described the relationship between Hezbollah and its supporters in Iran (…) -

BUSH AND BLAIR: NEW LIE BEFORE THE WORLD
13 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
With a new lie Bush and Blair they alarmed to the world. One is the “attack” against ten North American airplanes that would be sent from London. Measures were taken from emergency in the airports, were suspended flights, lowered the price of petroleum and until they lowered the indices of the bags.
