    By Remi Kanazi
    Joe Scarborough, political hack and host of Scarborough Country on MSNBC, went on yet another odious rant on April 3. This time his scurrilous remarks were aimed at six-term Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. The Congresswoman is accused of punching a Capitol Hill security officer in the chest (with cell phone in hand). After McKinney skirted a metal detector (members of Congress are not required to go through metal detectors) an officer, according to a witness, asked McKinney (…)

    Just ask the Republicans:
    Did you vote for the war? "Yes,because Saddam was a tryrant,connected to al Qaeda, and a threat to his neighbors and the US"
    Did Halliburton cheat the US taxpayers? "No. They have been exonerated and not even fined"
    Isn’t torture immoral and against the Geneva Accords? "No. Geneva is quaint and an anachronism. Also, we’re not finding an enemy in uniform,so we can do what we wish with them"
    Did we use cluster bombs and white phosphor against the (…)

    In the name of fighting stateless terrorism, George W. Bush is looming as the American Caesar running roughshod over the civil liberties of the American people who have turned against him in ever larger majorities.

    April 7, 2006
    by Patrick J. Buchanan
    With the Gallup Poll showing 51 percent of Americans want all U.S. troops out of Iraq by year’s end, John Kerry has made his move.
    The 2004 Democratic nominee is calling for complete withdrawal of U.S. forces, if Iraqis do not agree on a unity government by May 15. Even if the Iraqis pull a government together, Kerry wants all U.S. forces removed by Dec. 31.
    The ice is cracking. With half the nation backing "Bring-the-Boys-Home-by-Christmas," (…)

    The Ethnic Cleansing Party Outpaces Likud
    The Rise of Israel’s Avigdor Lieberman
    By SAREE MAKDISI
    Everyone is talking about the successful-albeit lackluster-performance of Ehud Olmert’s Kadima party in Tuesday’s Israeli elections. Kadima won a marginal victory, gaining 28 seats in the Knesset, and giving Olmert the opportunity to form a government.
