  • Bush and Blair Lie to the World again - Enough is Enough
    9 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Yesterday, George Bush and Tony Blair LIED before the world again..Harry Truman once said of Richard Nixon, "He’s one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides", but if ever a description was to be applied to Bush and Blair, this would be it.
    How long is this going to go on? How long are these two war criminals going to be allowed to LIE repeatedly to the world before anything is (…)

  • Bush seeks expansion of fish farms as far as 200 miles offshore

    Calling fish farming a potential boon for consumers and the economy, the Bush administration yesterday proposed to massively expand the practice to waters as far as 200 miles offshore.
    Supporters in Washington, including a state senator who advocates for fish farmers, urged Congress to bless the idea. They said a likely result — if fish-culturing methods can be perfected — would be a cheap source of ocean-grown delights, such as black cod, in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

    Much has been thought, said, written about how George W. Bush became President in 2000. Even more has been thought, said, written about how he became President again in 2004. But little has been written about WHY a Democrat didn’t become President in 2004. Until now.

    In the absence of any right wing lunatic postings on this site, ( incidentally does anyone know whether they’ve been sent to Iraq or just had their medication increased ?). Anyway, I thought I’d play devils advocate so we can practice and shoot down the pro war arguments.
    I think they’ve given up on the WMD fairy tale -but now the general tenet is ’We’re there now and there would be chaos if it was left to the Iraqis’
    Other spurious justifications include ;
    ’It was worse under Saddam’ (…)

    John Conyers And Deep Throat Margaret Kimberley June 09, 2005 Deep Throat was the anonymous source who helped Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein break the Watergate story.

    Parents Are Right To Protect Their Children From The Military Jacob G. Hornberger June 8, 2005 A recent front-page story in the New York Times reported growing opposition among parents to the US military’s efforts to contact and recruit their children to join the US armed forces.

    9 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    There is a slow but perceptible drumbeat calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush on grounds he fixed the facts to justify invading Iraq, and deliberately timed the invasion to influence midterm elections. These revelations come from leaked secret minutes of a July 23, 2002 meeting where the head of British MI6, after visiting the Bush administration in Washington, reported back to Prime Minister Tony Blair that "Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military (…)
