  • Locals Protest Vulture Capitalists and the Iraqi War

    “It is the common people, who must, under God, save us.” - Sam Adams, patriot and rebel against British rule in America. (1)
    Baltimore, MD - The goldfish in our pond had a pretty rough time this winter. The great blue heron, a majestic bird, which is usually found on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, was eating them for dessert. I would chase the herons away, whenever I could, but they kept coming back, and back, until they got them all, except a few too small to bother with. If you’re the (…)

    In funding of the Iraq War, supporters have thrown our soldiers under the bus By Mary MacElveen April 3, 2007
    As one reads where Senator Harry Reid may move to cut funds to this war in Iraq, it is time for Americans that voted for a change to come forth in support of this measure. It is time to rise and shine America. You can no longer hide in some fox hole oblivious to this war’s failure. As of today, 3,252 soldiers have lost their lives. Some see Reid’s call as being an uphill battle (…)

    ONE: One day, perhaps YEARS from now, after the US occupation forces, tails between their legs and faces shadowed with humiliation, head down the long and dangerous road to Kuwait and then come home to waiting families, Iraq is going to somehow manage a viable government (just as did the Vietnamese). They WILL create a functional country, alive with commerce and with some plan which recognizes the various sectarian difficulties and gets a handle on them. Perhaps...nay, almost CERTAINLY, at (…)

    * Le Moyne College/Zogby Poll shows just one in five troops want to heed Bush call to stay “as long as they are needed” * While 58% say mission is clear, 42% say U.S. role is hazy * Plurality believes Iraqi insurgents are mostly homegrown * Almost 90% think war is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11, most don’t blame (…)

    2 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The United States will be ready to launch a missile attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities as soon as early this month, perhaps "from 4 a.m. until 4 p.m. on April 6," according to reports in the Russian media on Saturday.
    According to Russian intelligence sources, the reports said, the US has devised a plan to attack several targets in Iran, and an assault could be carried out by launching missiles from fighter jets and warships stationed in the Persian Gulf.

  • Raining On The ABM Parade
    2 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    If you thought the United States had a secure, state-of-the-art ballistic missile defense shield deployed around Fort Greely, Alaska, that could have shot down any North Korean ICBM during the crisis last July, think again.
    Pyongyang’s attempt to test fire an ambitious Taepodong-2 intercontinental ballistic missile failed and the ambitious giant rocket exploded not long after take-off. But at least it got off the ground. The much-vaunted Ground-based Midcourse Interceptors, or GBIs, around (…)

    How I know Blair faked Iran map
    Craig Murray, Former Ambassador to Uzbekistan and Head of the Foreign Office’s Maritime Section – via The Daily Mail March 31, 2007
    Like most senior Royal Navy officers, Commodore Nick Lambert has great reserves of professional expertise and common sense. The Coalition task force commander was aboard HMS Cornwall when 15 Royal Navy personnel serving on the frigate were seized at gunpoint by Iranian forces on March 23.
    The Navy states the 14 men and one (…)

  • ‘Cruel, Callous, Inhumane and Unacceptable.’

    An Open Letter to the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, M.P.
    Dear Mr Brown,
    Standing in Afghanistan, you called the Iranian holding of fifteen British sailors who it is likely strayed in to Iranian waters: ‘Cruel, callous, inhumane and unacceptable.’ Breathtaking.Compared to the behavior of the UK and US troops, their treatment in Iran is seemingly a health spa.
