    April 1, 2006
    MILITIAMEN from an Iranian-backed force were deliberately recruited by Britain to join the new Iraqi security services after Saddam Hussein was overthrown, the Government has admitted.
    The sectarian Badr organisation, trained in exile by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, is suspected of violently pursuing its own agenda after being allowed to enlist in national units. John Reid, the Defence Secretary, disclosed in a Commons written answer to the Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price that it (…)

  • US capable of wiping out Russia’s nuclear capacity in a single strike

    According to Foreign Affairs article
    By Oleg Artyukov and Vadim Trukhachev
    March 23, 2006 Pravda (Russia)
    For the first time in the last 50 years the USA is on the verge of attaining ultimate domination with regard to nuclear weapons. This means that Russia is no longer able to keep up with the United States. If a conflict were to break out, the USA would be able to quickly and with impunity attack Russian territory, and Russia would have no means to mount a response.
    This is roughly (…)

  • "My Duty as an Able-Bodied American Citizen to Say No"
    2 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    On December 21, 2002, four sixteen- to seventeen-year-old girls from upstate New York were arrested for walking into a military recruiting office and refusing to leave. One of them, Oona Clare DeFlaun, when asked what if anything had influenced her, answered: -A couple of years ago I found a quote from the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal...It says, -Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience. Therefore [individual citizens] have the duty to (…)

    The way things are today, why on earth would those in charge in Washington ever want another war or maybe two of them. Already they’re embroiled in two out-of-control debacles in the Middle East and Central Asia, and the country is leaching multi-billions we don’t have to pay for them. Despite this hopeless chaos, it looks almost certain we’re now headed for a new one with Iran and may try to "double our displeasure" by adding still another with Venezuela to remove their (…)

    The lunatics in the Bush administration will not be denied..... The bombing of Iran will go on as proceeded.... The Military plans are set in concrete.....As in the Iraq precedent , an undeclared war in Iran has been going on for some time.... The so called ’Good Turists’ , MEK , have been unleashed to blow up Iranian infrastructure and terrorise the civilian population.... The case that Iran has a ’Nookular’ weapons programme is total , complete nonsense.... There is no evidence that Iran (…)

  • Death Squads in Iraq by Robert Dreyfuss (CRG)
    1 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    I’ve been writing for more than two years on Iraq’s Shiite-led death squads (see "Phoenix Rising," in The American Prospect). It’s been an open secret at least that long. Since that time, the number of Iraqis kidnapped, bound and gagged, and executed - or simply gunned down in the streets - by pro-government Shiite gangs is incalculable. But it is likely to be in the range of 25,000 in two years.
    Ellen Knickmeyer, writing in the Washington Post, has been doggedly following the story (…)

    Saddam trial is a theatre. It is a Hollywood show to divert attention from the destruction of Iraq and the massive war crimes committed against the Iraqi people. Like the invasion, the “tribunal” is illegal and has no legitimacy in occupied Iraq
    President Saddam Hussein’s “trial” before a U.S.-orchestrated (…)

    I’ve lived through seven decades and can remember the late 1930s before WW II began. In fact, I began my formal education in kindergarten within days of when Hitler sent his Wehrmacht across the Polish border in an act of illegal aggression and began that near six year horror. I was too young to understand it then, and I can barely remember that fateful "first Pearl Harbor" on December 7, 1941. Franklin Roosevelt wanted in on that (…)

    Nine days after the start of the American president’s 2003 "shock and awe" uranium bombing campaign in Baghdad, an invisible radioactive uranium oxide gas cloud swept through Britain’s towns and countryside and throughout Europe.
    Respected scientists reported on the unrevealed gas cloud after conducting research on specialized high volume air filters in England. Dr. Chris Busby and Saoirse Morgan (…)

    Steve Watson / Infowars | March 27 2006
    Retired Command Sergeant Major Eric Haney, founding member of the military’s elite covert counter-terrorist unit, Delta force, has stated publicly for the record that he sees the war in Iraq as an "Utter debacle" based on intentions by the Bush administration that were "not what they stated" and that "there is no real threat to the U.S. in the world". (…)
