  • BushCo wants you to believe...
    25 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Iraq is Saddam’s fault Iraq bad intel is CIA’s fault Notion that Iaq was buying Uranium from Niger was Britain’s fault. Not listening to Richard Clarke regarding Terrorism’s rise was Clarke’s fault for not being more insistent. 911 and the WTC was Osama’s fault Not scrambling military aircraft on 911 to shoot down the “high jacked” planes was Osama’s fault. Not finding any wreckage or bodies, or even a black box at the Pentagon on 911 was - the fault of .... Somebody. The Anthrax scare right (…)

  • Bush is Delusional and he HAS NO EXIT PLAN
    25 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    U.S. President George W. Bush on Friday rejected calls for a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq and Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari called on Americans to stand firm as six more U.S. troops were killed.
    "There are not going to be any timetables," Bush said after Oval Office talks with Jaafari. "I have told this to the prime minister. We are there to complete a mission, and it’s an important mission."
    At a news conference, both Bush and Jaafari insisted progress was (…)

  • Bring our troops home

    Every day I see ribbon-shaped bumper stickers bearing the message "Support Our Troops." While most of us clamor to see the latest movie or ride our bikes on the weekends or plan our summer vacations, these bumper stickers remind us that there are American soldiers still fighting in Iraq, and we shouldn’t forget them.
    Each soldier is someone’s father, mother, brother, sister, son or daughter, and while fewer and fewer Americans are paying attention to the war, our troops are still getting (…)

    ...from April....
    YOU WANT ME TO PAY FOR WHAT?!?
    As you scramble to fill out your 1040 form this week, consider this:
    When Congress voted to authorize the use of military force in Iraq, it included two requirements. The first was that the President prove that Iraq was in defiance of the United Nations by being in possession of banned weapons of mass destruction. The second was that the President have proof that Iraq was involved in 9-11. In his letter to Congress activating the (…)

    AD HOMINEM PORK ROAST
    By Peter Fredson
    June 24, 2005
    I have watched the news and blogs concerning Karl Rovers’ remarks about “liberals” yesterday. I have also seen some recent photographs of him. The one I saw today reminded me of the portrait of a pig, with an apple stuffed in its mouth, stretched out on a platter, waiting to be barbecued. I wondered how much fat could be squeezed out of that carcass, how much useful pork, and how many cracklings he would provide. Is he good for (…)

    24 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Senior Aides Refuse To Testify Against Saddam Saad al-Awsi June 19, 2005 At a tribunal set up to prosecute Saddam and his associates for war crimes, former officials of his regime avoided answering or refused to admit to having committed any crime or to say an unkind word about their former leader. Ex-senior Iraqi aides currently in US custody have refused to testify against their former leader Saddam Hussein when recently questioned by magistrates.
    An Iraqi tribunal set up to try Saddam (…)

  • Amnesty International And Mr. Bush
    24 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Amnesty International And Mr. Bush Hassan Al-Haifi June 20, 2005 It goes without saying that it seems that the issues of human rights and the right to uphold different political views has never been subjected to a harder ordeal than that being witnessed in the present time. Not only is the fight for human rights becoming a formidable challenge in the Third World countries, where, in some countries, even the most basic of human rights are as far away as Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but even the (…)

    At long last, the culminating session of the World Tribunal on Iraq is upon us. As a witness providing testimony, like the other witnesses I’m being interviewed by many outlets. Today, one of them was by reporters for one of the larger newspapers in Turkey, the Yeni Safak Newspaper.
    I’ll leave the reporters nameless, for reasons you’ll soon see.
    The newspaper has been translating various articles of mine into Turkish and running them, particularly those concerning the most recent (…)

  • Saddam Trotted Out To Divert Attention From Failure In Iraq

    Saddam Trotted Out To Divert Attention From Failure In Iraq Nermeen Al-Mufti June 16-22, 2005 The Iraqi government’s release of a video showing Saddam Hussein being questioned by Chief Trial Judge Raid Juhi comes at a very convenient time for both the Americans and Iraqi government. Indeed, the focus on Saddam and his upcoming trial is a diversionary tactic used by both the Iraqi government and the United States administration. The Iraqi government needs to draw attention away from its (…)
