    NEW YORK—In war collaborators are more dangerous than enemy forces, for they betray with intimate knowledge in painful detail and demoralize by their cynical example. This explains why, at the end of occupations, the newly liberated exact vengeance upon their treasonous countrymen even they allow foreign troops to conduct an orderly withdrawal.
    If, as state-controlled media insists, there is such a creature as a Global War on Terrorism, our enemies are underground Islamist organizations (…)

    Global Eye Heaven’s Gate
    By Chris Floyd
    This week, President George W. Bush gave a big speech "explaining" the Iraq war to the American people. It was the usual load of lying blather and false piety — deeply, even murderously cynical. But there’s no point in wasting a single thought over these clown shows anymore. Bush is a nasty little moral cretin fronting a gang of elitist thugs whose only concerns are loot and power. Nothing he says has the slightest credibility. Only his actions — (…)

  • What’s To Celebrate?

    Another July 4th is upon us. Many of my neighbors are hoarding up on the fireworks, the barbecue specialties, and the booze. “Its Independence Day” they exclaim...“This is America, with much to celebrate!” Yeah, right!
    Too bad most of America is oblivious to the Downing Street Memo. A few years back, almost one half of those polled thought that Clinton should be impeached from office for lying about sex. Never a Clinton supporter, this writer laughed at the presumptiveness of the charge. (…)

  • We’ll bring our troops home, whether Bush likes it or not

    Bush and Rumsfeld reject the idea of a timeline to withdraw from Iraq. Bush says we need to "stay the course." Rumsfeld says we’ll be there another 10 years. I wonder if these men would be willing to go through what our soldiers do: Occupying a country that is increasingly hostile to U.S. presence, where more and more we look like a foreign occupying power than a liberating army.
    I am sickened every time I hear about another soldier killed in their Humvee, or scores of Iraqi kids blown up (…)

  • ’Last throes’ or latest quagmire?

    Which is it? Do we need 12 more years in Iraq to defeat the violent insurgency, or is the insurgency in its "last throes"?
    Is this war essential to stop terrorism from invading our shores, or was shaky intelligence "fixed" to justify a pre-planned invasion?
    Our own independence celebration this weekend is an appropriate time to take stock of just where we stand on Iraq, given the duplicity of information and mixed-messages coming from the White House and from our British allies.
