    Many folks including myself have regarded the Chaos taking place in Iraq as a quagmire. In restrospect I was mistaken. The plan , from day One, was to plunge Iraq and eventually Iran and Syria into a seething bloody mess. This is why there was no plan put in place to rebuild the country after Saddam was toppled. This is why Rumsfeld ignored the entreaties of the Joints Chief of Staff to deploy 400,000 to 500,000 troops to occupy the country after the war ended. Of course , owing to the (…)

  • From Damascus to Megiddo: Bush’s Dream
    4 February 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The whole Iran mess has been discussed to death, but in the end it appears very likely that the dazed and gullible American public, through media distortion and pure political propaganda, are being set up for the Bushwhacko’s ARMAGEDDON scenario.
    They haven’t got it all figured out yet, but generally devoutly hope that when Iran is taken to the woodshed (read UN), they will respond by disobeying the I.A.E.A. and proceeding with uranium enrichment big time. There can be no doubt that the (…)

They are jailed because those who believe themselves to be in positions of authority are frightened by the truth of their stand and the strength of their convictions.
    Who are these people of “authority”? They are people who have been elected to serve the citizens of our (…)

    ONE OF the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s most famous speeches was his April 4, 1967, condemnation of the Vietnam War. He said America could never end poverty at home as long as ’’adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube."
    King confessed in his speech that it took him two years to ’’break the betrayal of my own silences and to speak from the burnings of my own heart." A prior, 1965 declaration that (…)
