    Dear sirs, I am writing to you to draw your attention to the tens of Iraqis that are being killed every day by the air raids performed by USA troops in the Tal-Afar town west of Mosul.

In the last two weeks 157 civilians have been killed and more than 680 were arrested according to military sources. However, actual (…)

    BENEDICT ARNOLD IN IRAQ
    By Peter Fredson
    A Political Rant
    September 23, 2005
    Many years ago, after marching through the Arch of Triumph in Paris on VE-Day, I asked for a short leave to try to contact relatives in Norway. I had not heard from them since 1940 and was worried that the war had not treated them kindly. However my request to visit Norway was denied. The reason was simple: all transportation was disrupted, roads impassable in many regions, the food shortage was acute, and (…)

    I really wish I didn’t have to say this, but it needs to be said...
    The Reason The Hurricanes Will Intensify The Anti-War Effort:
    They say Katrina & Rita are going to detract attention from the effort to end the war. I say Bullshit. They are going to cost so damn much money that they are going to force the Bushwackers to BRING THEM HOME to deal with it financially and physically. There are too many links between the subjects. 1. The war in iraq is about oil. Even Bushwack himself (…)

    By Jason Leopold
    CIA Director George Tenet testified before Congress in February 2001 that Iraq posed no immediate threat to the United States or to other countries in the Middle East.
    But immediately after the terrorist attacks on 9-11, which the Bush administration has said Iraq is partially responsible for, the President and his advisers were already making a case for war against Iraq without so much as providing a shred of evidence to back up their allegations that Iraq and its (…)

    by Michael T. Klare
    It has long been an article of faith among America’s senior policymakers — Democrats and Republicans alike — that military force is an effective tool for ensuring control over foreign sources of oil. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first president to embrace this view, in February 1945, when he promised King Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia that the United States would establish a military protectorate over his country in return for privileged access to Saudi oil — a (…)

    By Peter Fredson
    We wonder by what right American soldiers are walking around in Iraq with weapons in hand, far from Brooklyn or Crawford, Texas, shooting at the inhabitants of Iraq, destroying their homes, knocking down their businesses, destroying their infrastructure, lobbing grenades into rooms, pointing automatic weapons ceaselessly at people? We know they didn’t go to Iraq as tourists to look at one of the earliest civilizations in the world.
    We know they were commanded, as (…)

    Iraq denounced British forces on Tuesday over a dramatic rescue of two undercover soldiers that could stoke hostility to the army in increasingly volatile southern Iraq.
    British troops used an armored fighting vehicle on Monday to burst into an Iraqi jail in search of soldiers held by police in Basra. The British commander said he learned they had been handed to militia and ordered their rescue from a nearby house.
    "It is a very unfortunate development that the British (…)

    Cindy Sheehan Takes on the Democrats, Hillary Clinton The anti-war activist has plenty to say-and it’s not all about Bush
    by Kristen Lombardi Cindy Sheehan, the rising star of the anti-war movement, remembers when people used to think of her as one of those crazy activists, speaking out for a cause, inconveniencing all who stumbled onto her path. She remembers, from her days camped outside President Bush’s ranch in Texas, how some drivers would shout out at her, “Get a job!”

    Al-Qaida’s leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is dead but Washington continues to use him as a bogeyman to justify a prolonged military occupation, an Iraqi Shia cleric says in an interview.
    Sheikh Jawad al-Kalesi, the imam of the al-Kadhimiyah mosque in Baghdad, told France’s Le Monde newspaper on Friday: "I don’t think that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi exists as such. He’s (…)
