    LONDON (AP) - Half a dozen explosions rocked the London subway and tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday. The blasts killed at least two people and injured scores in what a shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair said was a series of barbaric’’ terrorist attacks.
    Blair said it was clear the attacks were designed to coincide (…)

    At the end of the Iraq war, vast sums of money were made available to the US-led provisional authorities, headed by Paul Bremer, to spend on rebuilding the country. By the time Bremer left the post eight months later, $8.8bn of that money had disappeared. Ed Harriman on the extraordinary scandal of Iraq’s missing billions

    Tigris dam damns Assur The Iraqi government is building a dam which will obliterate the capital of the ancient Assyrian empire Martin Bailey , The Art Newspaper
    LONDON, July, 2005 - The Iraqi government is building a dam which will destroy the ancient city of Assur, the former capital which gave its name to Assyria. Although it has received no publicity outside Iraq, the dam across the Tigris is likely to result in one of the greatest archaeological losses of modern times. John Curtis, the (…)

    Bush should resign for lying about Iraq
    We need to withdraw from Iraq immediately. Even our own generals tell us that our presence there is only making things worse. President Bush has violated the public trust with his snake-oil sales pitch for support for his invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation whose only fault was to suspend the sale of its oil in protest of the crippling sanctions that it was under.
    It is no secret that Bush was itching for regime change in Baghdad even (…)

    George W. Bush on President Clinton not setting a timetable for exiting Kosovo
    “Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.” George W. Bush, 4/9/99:
    “I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.” George W. Bush, 6/5/99 The failure of the Bush administration to plan for postwar Iraq compromised a swift military victory, and now (…)

    Documents show the fix was in
    Speaking on May 15 in Baghdad, Condoleezza Rice made an outrageous statement: "You see, this war came to us, not the other way around." Could there be anyone left in the U.S., let alone the Middle East, who believes this bald-faced lie?
    The truth has trickled out slowly — the truth so sickening that none of us want to believe it. But it’s finally out: The Bush administration, from its very first weeks in office, planned a military operation to overthrow (…)

  • The MSM Box Set
    6 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Spin cycles are supposed to last little longer than 24 hours, especially when it’s bad news for Bush & Co. That is, perhaps, one reason why the Downing Street Memos (DSM) are causing such consternation in journalistic circles. A recent column by Newsday editorialist James Klurfeld, “Downing St. memos: Been there, knew that” (6-24-05), is of particular interest to me, since I live on Long Island, and because it is a fascinating window into the thought processes of an influential member of (…)

    July 5, 2005 - On March 16, 2003, Bush, Blair and Aznar of Spain met on the Portuguese island of Terceira in the Azores and declared war on Iraq at a time of their "choosing" unless President Saddam Hussein and his two sons leave Iraq. On March 20, 2003, without explicit authorisation of the UN Security Council and in violation of international law, and against the majority of the world public opinion, the US and Britain attacked Iraq "pre-emptively".
    The violent attack was one of the most (…)
