  • Is Another 9/11 in the Works?
    17 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    If you were President George W. Bush with all available US troops tied down by the Iraqi resistance, and you were unable to control Iraq or political developments in the country, would you also start a war with Iran?
    Yes, you would.
    Bush’s determination to spread Middle East conflict by striking at Iran does not make sense.
    First of all, Bush lacks the troops to do the job. If the US military cannot successfully occupy Iraq, there is no way that the US can occupy Iran, a country (…)

    Helen Thomas: "Does the President know that he’s in violation of international law when he advocates preemptive war? The U.N. Charter, Geneva, Nuremberg. We violate international law when we advocate attacking a country that did not attack us.
    MR. McCLELLAN: Helen, I would just disagree with your assessment. First of all, preemption is a longstanding principle of American foreign —
    Q It’s not a long-standing principle with us. It’s your principle.

    Although the strategy is older than the mean sheriff and his less sadistic deputy in the Old West, we need to only go back a few years here. If one recalls prior to the US/UK invasion on Iraq in 2003, there were several initiatives to "promote democracy" in that country. Usually it was the State Department that played the good cop to the Defense Department’s bad cop. Give money to dissident groups and others opposed to the regime of Saddam Hussein—that was the good guy approach. (If there (…)

    Tuesday 14 March 2006
    Why does the Bush Administration refuse to discuss withdrawing occupation forces from Iraq? Why is Halliburton, who landed the no-bid contracts to construct and maintain US military bases in Iraq, posting higher profits than ever before in its 86-year history?
    Why do these bases in Iraq resemble self-contained cities as much as military outposts?
    Why are we hearing such ludicrous and outrageous statements from the highest ranking military general in (…)

    Un texte plus que jamais d’actualité
    WASHINGTON HAS FOUND THE SOLUTION
    Michel Collon
    They have found the solution! Divide Iraq into three mini-states and then pit them against one another. Does that remind you of something else? Oh, yes! It’s not the first time something like this happened....
    The New York Times published an editorial on November 25, 2003 carrying Leslie Gelb’s by-line. He’s an influential man who, until recently, presided over the very important Council of Foreign (…)

    Media blackout shadows why black op soldiers were arrested
    Paul Joseph Watson | September 20 2005
    In another example of how the Iraqi quagmire is deliberately designed to degenerate into a chaotic abyss, British SAS were caught attempting to stage a terror attack and the media have dutifully shut up about the real questions surrounding the incident.
    What is admitted is that two British soldiers in Arab garb and head dress drove a car towards a group of Iraq police and began firing. (…)

    Ray Mcgovern says US in most danger ever, from its own government
    Prison Planet | February 26 2006

  • Catch 22 at the U.N.
    16 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The US is in a doozy of a situation,created by Bush’s own hand.
    The United Nations desperately needs an honest Human Rights Committee...but can’t get one.
    Why?
    Because not only are there dozens of UN members who don’t begin to qualify judging "respectable" countries,....but many of OUR top allies (including Jordan,Egypt,Pakistan,Saudi Arabia and now,IRAQ!) are guilty of numerous human rights abuses.
    But the real joker is the United States itself! Of course we have a long,dark history (…)
