  • Top Ten Things Not to Do in Iraq
    27 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Ivan Eland
    Ever since the Iraq Study Group (ISG) issued its recommendations, the debate in Washington has swirled around what to do about the mess in Iraq. Unfortunately, both the recommendations of the study group and the contradictory inclinations of the Bush administration are “bridges to nowhere.” Both groups are in denial about the chaos in Iraq and are not yet ready to offer the tough solutions that could stabilize the country. Perhaps they should accept the top ten things not to (…)

    I was going to write a Christmas message to all of my readers, but an error occurred which prevented me from posting any message on my blog. As I see now, it has cleared itself.
    With that said, I do hope that all of my readers enjoyed this special day with family and friends. I also hope that our soldiers still deployed over in Iraq and Afghanistan entered our minds as we celebrated a day so full of life. They should have been home amongst their (…)

    Russian General Leonid Ivashov says that international terrorism effectively does not exist and that only national secret services were capable of mounting the 9/11 attacks.
    According to General Ivashov: "Only secret services and their current chiefs – or those retired but still having influence inside the state organizations – have the ability to plan, organize and conduct an operation of such magnitude. Generally, secret services create, finance and control extremist organizations. (…)

  • The BUSHISTA are NOT buffoons!!

    As Iraqi society descends further and further into mayhem, comedians, satirists and commentators of all kinds have made great hay from the supposed incompetence and stupidity of our leaders.This would be the Mass Media Spin.
    But as the Canadian Spectator suggested recently, if it should happen that the United States is not run by buffoons, “one must conclude that chaos, impoverishment and civil war in the Muslim world…far from being the unintended consequences, are precisely the objectives (…)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    The U.S administration and Israel are accelerating their coordinated meddling in the internal Palestinian divide between the Fatah-led presidency and the Hamas-led government to pre-empt a series of Arab mediation efforts, the latest of which is a UAE-Syrian try according to a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
    The PLO official, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that President Mahmoud Abbas authorized the United Arab (…)

  • And So This Is Christmas

    "We have to be the ones to give our leaders the courage to do the right thing."
    And so this is Christmas, And what have you done? Another year over, A new one just begun. (John Lennon)
    Today is the 21st birthday of my youngest child, Janey. It is the 3rd birthday that she has "celebrated" since her oldest sibling, Casey was killed in Iraq. My other son, Andy, turned 21 the year Casey was killed. Carly, my oldest daughter, turned 24 the year after Casey was killed...the same age he was (…)

  • Arroyo/U.S. "low Intensity" State Terrorism
    24 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Philippine President Gloria Macapagati Arroyo’s Melo Commission to investigate the killings of leftists and journalists has apparantly concluded that investigation and will submit their report in early January.
    Most in the Phillippines believe the Melo Commission and its upcoming report to be part of an ongoing ruse by the Arroyo government to cover up that the government itself, in colusion with the military and state police are the actual perpetrators of the mass killings. (…)

  • Aaron Burr and Dick Cheney: Two Treacherous VPs
    21 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Hands stained with the best blood of our nation.” - The Gazette of the United States, a Philadelphia newspaper, in an editorial, denouncing Aaron Burr for killing Alexander Hamilton. (1)
    After Aaron Burr, the then V. P. of the United States, shot Alexander Hamilton to death in a duel, he became the most loathed man in America. In light of the fact that the Bush-Cheney Gang is insisting on sending 30,000 more U.S. troops into a raging Civil War in Iraq, I predict that V.P. Dick Cheney’s (…)

    Greetings from the Occupied Holy Lands Dear Santa, or Someone ...
    By DEB REICH December 16 / 17, 2006
    Dear Santa, I live in Israel/Palestine and I think I am probably addicted to the big bad conflict we have here. We all seem to be addicted to the conflict we have here. We are so used to it, sometimes I wonder if, given half a chance, we could really learn to live without it. Meanwhile, the academics study it. The politicians cook it and bake it and spin it. The pollsters monitor it. (…)
