    Israeli citizens that made their homes in the illegal (under international law) settlements in Gaza, are to receive between $200,000 - $300,000 each to relocate- paid for by US taxpayer dollars.
    "Settlers, who were encouraged by the Israeli government to move to settlements, are entitled to compensation," says Sarit Michaeli, spokesman for B’Tselem, the independent Israeli information centre for human rights in the occupied territories.
    Israel has negotiated a $2.2 billion dollar gift (…)

  • Impeach Bush Now, Before More Die

    The raison d’etre of the Bush administration is war in the Middle East in order to protect America from terrorism and to insure America’s oil supply. On both counts the Bush administration has failed catastrophically.
    Bush’s single-minded focus on the "war against terrorism" has compounded a natural disaster and turned it into the greatest calamity in American history. The US has lost its largest and most strategic port, thousands of lives, and 80% of one of America’s most historic cities (…)

    Mainstream media ignores negative news to aid Bush administration
    by Brian Richards
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — (OfficialWire) — 09/04/05 — In the words of Gomer Pyle-Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. Just Google the name [Safia Taleb al-Suhail] for news and you will discover that very few members, if any, of the so-called mainstream media consider this lady’s most recent quote newsworthy and frankly, that’s newsworthy to me.
    You may recall her-she was the Iraqi woman George W. Bush exploited (…)

    By William Fisher
    Iraq “is failing, or perhaps already failed”, says an American contactor who continues to carry out economic development work there as the country descends into “expanded gang warfare” and “the saddest story since Vietnam”.
    The contractor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described some of the missteps of U.S. and Iraqi authorities and of the daily power struggles among and between factions.
    “The problem is the government and the country, which is failing, or (…)

    SPINNING IN CIRCLES
    By Peter Fredson
    A minor rant in the aftermath of Katrina
    September 4, 2005
    Coincidence? Just before the Twin Towers attack George W. Bush was on vacation, getting on with his life, cutting brush on his ranch. After the attack Bush was reading a kid’s book, got on a plane, headed for a bunker, then later stood on rubble with his arm around a fireman. For the next 2 years he made speeches about his heroic action in failing to recognize that terrorists would strike (…)

    Does anyone have information on all the flood enabled Humvees which used to be in Louisianna and Mississippi. Apparently they were all shipped to Iraq and were criticised over there as being defficient in protecting against roadside bombs.
    Floods in the desert? Well I’ve got an open mind there.
    The question of the Humvees will be very important as its has a ring to it which is easy for Mr Average to grasp.
    Real facts and figures required or links.

  • No planning no plans no readiness just rhetoric

    The purpose of the war on terror is to eliminate extremism. Invading and occupying another country Ie. iraq breeds this extremism. There we’nt as many terrorists in iraq until we occupied there country and caused this instabhility.
    Bush manipulated us into this war through 9-11 and othe scary facts which turned out to be untrue. Even though bush planned to go to war through his whole election and presidency it seems the simplist things keep getting screwed up. Not enough troops, no (…)
