  • Mainstream Media lying by omission & complicity in 2.7 million Bush Wars death toll - Iran next?
    18 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Decent people are appalled by news reports of an impending US attack on Iran and we might surmise that if it is a prolonged war (cf Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Vietnam and Korea) that millions of people will die, if not from direct violence then from the collateral but equally deadly consequences of war. US Asian wars over the last 55 years have been associated with avoidable mortality totalling about 18 million - but this is IGNORED by racist, lying, Mainstream Media. A more pertinent (…)

    I do believe the course of action that the constitution requires is the immediate introduction of articles of impeachment.

    War, Death & Destruction: Enough Already!
    Ok, we’ve had enough! This talk of nukes has forced us to take action. It’s time to ship the neo-cons, supporting military, terrorists, war profiteers, like minded leaders and all the gung-ho proponents for war, death and destruction to Siberia or, better yet, to one of the icy poles to duke it out. (Too bad the space option isn’t ready yet)
    The rest of us want to be left alone! We have lives to live, and frankly the daily (…)

    Artful Dodger, Tony Blair, would like us to believe that he does not support the neocon madmen’s intention to attack, let alone nuke, Iran. An article in The Scotsman claims government sources saying that Blair has informed Bush that Britain "cannot offer military support to any strike on Iran, regardless of whether the move wins the backing of the international community."
    "We will support the diplomatic moves, at best," a Foreign Office source told Scotland on Sunday. "But we cannot (…)

    LAST WEEK, it was the allegation that President Bush himself authorized leaks of intelligence to attack Joseph Wilson, the government’s envoy who found no evidence of nuclear material transfers between Niger and Iraq. Wilson said Bush’s use of intelligence ’’was twisted to exaggerate the Iraqi threat."
    This week brings a new twist to the exaggerations. In his February 2003 presentation to the United Nations the month before America invaded Iraq, then-Secretary of (…)

    The end of Western funding and Israel’s crossing closure sharpen Palestinian divisions, reports Conal Urquhart in Gaza City
    An empty watchtower overlooks a deserted road lined with rusting vehicle parts. The only traffic is a pregnant bitch and a mule and cart. This is Gaza’s economic lifeline, the Karni crossing into Israel, which is supposed to handle 1,300 containers of merchandise and food per day in order to sustain 1.3 million people.
    But nothing is entering or leaving Gaza, and (…)

    To Colonel James A. Adkins US Army Retired,
    I want to commend you as I read your comments concerning Pres. Bush: “I am no longer a Republican. Now I think the president needs to go. His failure to hold subordinates accountable now places the blame for his administration’s incompetence squarely on his shoulders” At this point the handling of this war transcends party lines. I am a Democrat where I was and still am opposed to this war in Iraq. I feel that this is an American issue and (…)

    Here we go again. The administration says ’’regime change’’ is needed. Warnings are issued about the threat posed by the ’’madman’’ who leads the oil-rich country. Alarming intelligence estimates are leaked about nuclear weapons programs. The vice president warns ’’monumental consequences’’ if the alleged efforts to develop nuclear weapons are continued. Neoconservatives call for military action. Administration operatives express scorn for international monitoring. The (…)
