    The Cabal of Criminality and Iraq
    The disaster in Iraq has continued to regress with the same velocity and intensity as when it first started, raging onwards in a classical resistance, guerilla-style form of urban warfare that usually befalls occupying invaders of alien lands, yet as 2005 ends and 2006 gets set to begin, in the minds of millions of Americans finally out of the hypnotic, denial-laced clouds of 9/11, the time has finally (…)

    Venezuela’s Disloyal Opposition Serves the Bush Administration’s Narrow Ideological Interests, but Hardly Those of its Own Nation
    In an arrant display of rank political opportunism, Venezuela’s faltering middle-class opposition parties have announced that they would boycott the December 4 legislative elections. Far from a principled and high minded move, this tawdry tactic represents a cynical decision on the part of the opposition to spare itself the inconvenience of once again having to (…)

    President Bush’s Flirtation With Fascism By Bill Gallagher November 29, 2005 Detroit - The regime has already produced so many ignominious legacies that historians in the near future will be able to feast on the task of measuring the damage from the wretched deeds the Busheviks have wrought.
    Certainly, the unnecessary pre-emptive war in Iraq, sold with lies, will echo for generations as a symbol of America’s failed experiment in empire cloaked as proselytizing democracy. Our actions in (…)

    What Lost Iraq? How Ragtag Insurgents Beat The World’s Sole Superpower Ted Rall November 22, 2005 Most Americans were unaware that we had botched Afghanistan; most still are. I watched the Pentagon send in a miniscule 8,000-troop complement where, according to its top strategists, at least half a million occupation soldiers (stationed for at least 20 years) would have been needed to control the nation’s roads, pacify the provinces and establish the security essential for building an (…)

Some Officers Object To The Practice By Mark Mazzetti and Borzou Daragahi, Times Staff Writers November 30, 2005 Washington - As part of an information offensive in Iraq, the U.S. military is secretly paying Iraqi newspapers to publish stories written by American troops in an effort to burnish the image of the U.S. mission in Iraq.
    The articles, written by U.S. military "information (…)

  • Hypocritical Democrats for the War After All

    The Democrats had devoted 100% of their energy to making us believe they were against the war and against Bush. It seemed that their extremely vigorous and self righteous assurances meant to many that they knew what they were talking about, and even that they had a plan to end the war one way or the other. They tricked a huge part of the electorate into thinking they were right. The Commander in Chief’s approval rating even went way down to around 36% while his troops are bleeding and dying (…)

    While the Iraqi people struggle to define their future amid political chaos and violence, the fate of their most valuable economic asset, oil, is being decided behind closed doors.
    This report reveals how an oil policy with origins in the US State Department is on course to be adopted in Iraq, soon after the December elections, with no public debate and at enormous potential cost. The policy allocates the majority[1] of Iraq’s oilfields — accounting for at least 64% of the country’s oil (…)

    By John Kaminski skylax@comcast.net
    Remember the Red Menace, also known as the Communist threat? Or how about the Third Reich, the creator of which became the chief metaphor for evil in the 20th century?
    Most Americans, certainly those younger than 30, don’t remember either. Hell, they don’t even remember Vietnam or Nixon or The Beatles. The terms and their connotations are totally unfamiliar, unless encountered in history texts. Millions of Americans simply do not remember what America (…)
