25 August 2005HARTFORD, Conn. - The state of Connecticut filed a federal lawsuit Monday challenging President Bush’s No Child Left Behind school reform law, arguing it is illegal because it requires expensive testing and programs it doesn’t pay for.

IT IS NO MORE THAN A REDEPLOYMENT
25 August 2005By Ibrahim Ebeid
In order to keep the Zionist settlements around Gaza "Israel" needed over 50,000 soldiers equipped with the most sophisticated weapons to do the job. The Gazans who were equipped with faith and strong will, were able to lead a war of attrition that forced the Zionist enemy to withdraw these settlers to another part of Palestine.
The withdrawal was not a voluntary one, nor had a good intention to achieve peace, as the Western media and the US Administration portrayed to (…) -

This is the same story about a person who watched a very close Super Bowl game in which a football missed the goal posts by inches then saw it in reruns because this time the ball might go in. And the story parallels one of a little boy dressed in Superman outfit who jumps out of the (…) -
