    NATO must act now to help millions of black African Christians who are the subject of GENOCIDE in SUDAN. OSAMA BIN LADEN has just acknowledged that this is a major battle ground for his forces in his latest video.
    NATO accept the responsibility requested by the US.
    Sooner or later you will have to face this conflict. Better to start now then wait until it is too late. If lives are not important enough for you, perhaps you will do it for the oil.
    NATO your current assistance in SUDAN is (…)

    Recently there has been some debate between Cindy Sheehan and Scott Ritter on the success (or lack there of) of the peace movement. Cindy Sheehan took offence at Ritter dissing the peace movement, but as everyone can see, we have gotten nowhere. A clear majority are now against this war. A clear majority want Bush impeached immediately. We are beyond critical mass, and yet the war drums are now beating for Iran. What has gone wrong?
    While the ’peace movement’ is distracted by talking (…)

    War costs approach $10 billion a month
    by Jonathan Weisman
    Washington — Annual war expenditures in Iraq will almost certainly come close to doubling since the U.S. invasion, as the military confronts the rapidly escalating cost of repairing, rebuilding and replacing equipment chewed up by three years of combat.
    The cost of the war in U.S. fatalities has declined this year, but the cost in treasure continues to rise — from $48 billion in 2003 to $59 billion in 2004 to $81 billion in (…)

    Analysis by Bill Berkowitz
    OAKLAND, California, Apr 18 (IPS) - The drumbeat in some Washington foreign policy circles for "regime change" in Iran has striking similarities to the run-up to the Iraq invasion, and is being led by some of the usual suspects — like the American Enterprise Institute’s Michael Ledeen.
    Though not well-known outside of Washington, Ledeen’s "views virtually define the stark departure from American foreign policy philosophy that existed before the tragedy of Sep. (…)

    A Generation’s Defining Event
    By BC Publishers Glen Ford and Peter Gamble
    This Saturday’s elections in New Orleans represent yet another element of the vast crime committed against Black America. With as many as 300,000 residents, overwhelmingly African American, strewn about the country in government- engineered exile, the elections are an insult to the very idea of democracy, and to the dignity of all Black people.
    This farcical exercise in faux democracy will no doubt be followed (…)

    By MATTHEW BARAKAT
    ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice leaked national defense information to a pro-Israel lobbyist in the same manner that landed a lower-level Pentagon official a 12-year prison sentence, the lobbyist’s lawyer said Friday.
    Prosecutors disputed the claim.
    The allegations against Rice came as a federal judge granted a defense request to issue subpoenas sought by the defense for Rice and three other government officials in the trial of Steven Rosen and (…)

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Months of political haggling in Iraq that sapped the American public’s support for the war may be nearing an end, offering hope amid rising sectarian carnage.
    It also leaves Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a more visible role as the Bush administration tries to steady a country at the brink of civil war.
    Iraqi Shiite politicians agreed Friday to nominate a new candidate for prime minister, replacing an incumbent who had become an obstacle in the (…)

    KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Taliban militants and other armed anti-U.S. groups will continue their violent opposition to Afghan and American-led forces until a genuine dialogue is held to solve Afghanistan’s problems, the former hard-line regime’s ambassador to Pakistan said.
    But Afghan and U.S. officials on Friday rejected the idea of dealing with extremists who have blood on their hands, stressing the military option was the only way to bring them to justice.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States doesn’t have enough good intelligence to know whether or not Iran will be capable of producing nuclear weapons in the near future, top congressional intelligence committee members said on Sunday.
    Iran said earlier on Sunday it would not abandon its work on nuclear enrichment, which the United Nations has demanded it halt, and was prepared to face sanctions from abroad.
    Asked on Fox News Sunday when Iran might be capable of producing nuclear (…)

  • US state terrorism & Bush victims include 60,000 post-2001 AMERICAN opioid drug deaths
    23 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    US state terrorism is only possible because of lying by omission by unethical Anglo-American media and politicians.
    IGNORING mass mortality simply ensures its continuance and also constitutes utterly repugnant holocaust denial - but that is exactly what Anglo-American Mainstream Media are doing in relation to the Iraqi, Afghan and domestic AMERICAN victims of the Bush Wars.
    US Mainstream Media utterly ignore 2.3 million post-invasion Iraqi and Afghan avoidable (excess) deaths - and (…)
