    30 September 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Seymour M. Hersh
    In a series of public statements in recent months, President Bush and members of his Administration have redefined the war in Iraq, to an increasing degree, as a strategic battle between the United States and Iran. “Shia extremists, backed by Iran, are training Iraqis to carry out attacks on our forces and the Iraqi people,” Bush told the national convention of the American Legion in August.
    “The attacks on our bases and our troops by Iranian-supplied munitions have (…)

    It was recently reported by Mainstream media that George Bush had rejected a pre-Iraq War offer by Saddam Hussein to leave with a mere $1 billion (see: (see the circa 27-28 September 2007 UK Daily Mail: , UK Telegraph: ), and the Washington Post: ).
    Decent folk are OBLIGED to examine the human and financial cost of the Iraq War in comparison with this $1 billion offer that could have prevented it if Bush were not INTENT on invading and occupying Iraq for OIL and HEGEMONIC CONTROL. (…)

    By Muriel Mirak-Weissbach
    The war that Dick Cheney has been planning against Iran, has moved from the back burner to the front, and those who do not see this are either blind or complicit.
    Military deployments are in place, as laid out in detail in a Sept. 16 feature by Michel Chossudovsky in Global Research, while the statements of intent to wage war, issued by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, have been hyped in British and American news outlets.
    The fact that war is high on (…)

    Yesterday, by a vote of 76-22, the Senate passed the Kyl-Lieberman amendment in support of military actions against Iran. This is the second such endorsement of the president by a senate majority in just three months. In July, the Lieberman amendment to “confront Iran” passed with the far stronger majority of 97-0.
    The original draft of Kyl-Lieberman had asked U.S. forces to “combat, contain, and roll back” the Iranian menace within Iraq. But the words “roll back” were (…)

    Making a Killing
    by Jeremy Scahill
    It’s being described as “Baghdad’s bloody Sunday.” On September 16 a heavily armed State Department convoy guarded by Blackwater USA was whizzing down the wrong side of the road near Nisour Square in the congested Mansour neighborhood in the Iraqi capital. Iraqi police scrambled to block off traffic to allow the convoy to pass. In the chaos, an Iraqi vehicle entered the square, reportedly failing (…)

    by Michael Yoder
    ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. - The date Aug. 4, 1964 still haunts Daniel Ellsberg, despite the passage of more than 40 years.
    He was a 33-year-old on his first day at the Pentagon as special assistant to Assistant Secretary of Defense John McNaughton. It also was the day the North Vietnamese navy allegedly fired 21 torpedoes at U.S. naval vessels in the Gulf of Tonkin.
    Ellsberg was one of 100 people who saw top secret transmissions later in the day saying the attack never (…)

  • THE DIVISION OF IRAQ
    29 September 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The division of Iraq into three states will bring much more problems compared to the current ones. One should remember the following facts:-
    1- Sunnis, sheiaats, and kurds did not fight through out the long history. The invasion of Iraq, Mr Bush policies of establishing poppet governments that are based on ethnic and religious bases brought the current fighting. In addition to that the great influence of IRAN, which has always tried to export its revolution to the region, has found free (…)

    On Monday 8 October the Stop the War Coalition will be marching from Trafalgar Square to Parliament calling for all troops in Iraq to be brought home immediately.
    After a series of relatively co-operative meetings, the police now say they have been instructed not to allow the march to take place and that all demonstrations are banned within a mile of Parliament whilst in session.
    This is a new development which threatens our democratic rights. When Gordon Brown became prime minister he (…)

    The War on Terror: A Masterpiece of Propaganda September 28th, 2007 ·
    By Richard W. Behan
    Who will tell the people?
    –William Greider
    From its first days in office in January of 2001 the Administration of George W. Bush meant to launch military attacks against both Afghanistan and Iraq. The reasons had nothing to do with terrorism.
    This is beyond dispute. The mainstream press has either ignored the story or missed it completely, but the Administration’s congenital belligerence is (…)
