THE LIE OF THE CENTURY
The Downing Street Memo is only the beginning of the proof we were all lied to.
There is nothing new in a government lying to their people to start a war. Indeed because most people prefer living in peace to bloody and horrific death in war, any government that desires to initiate a war usually lies to their people to create the illusion that support for the war is the only possible choice they can make.

How the US fools the world
Unlike the rest of the world, the U.S. has its own way of conducting its (unilateral) foreign policy. A closer examination of this shows that the Bush administration is not the first U.S. administration to tell lies, but what they often says provide insight into how the U.S. deliberately fools the world in order to pursue its imperialist agenda. Aided by powerful and complicit media, the U.S. is acting as the world's super moralist.

One War Lost, Another to Go
The only hope for getting Americans to focus on the war we can't escape is to clear the decks by telling the truth about the war of choice in Iraq: that it is making us less safe, not more, and that we have to learn from its mistakes and calculate the damage it has caused as we reboot and move on.

Fallujah: Shake And Bake:
Soldiers call them bogey weapons nasty pieces of military hardware which kill or maim as efficiently as any other type of armament but in so doing push the victim into a vortex of agony and suffering. White phosphorus, or Whiskey Pete, comes into that category.

Bush crime family behind U.S. VX nerve gas shipments to Iraq in 1988 and 89
November 20, 2005 -- More on U.S. VX nerve gas shipments to Iraq in 1988 and 89. Former members of a military intelligence team deployed to Iraq at the outset of the Iraq invasion referred to their job as a "janitorial operation for the first President Bush and Carlyle." They were referring to the war profiteering firm, on whose international board George H. W. Bush sits and which was headed by Frank Carlucci, the Defense Secretary (and Princeton roommate of Donald Rumsfeld, who was Reagan's special envoy to Saddam Hussein in 1984) who served as the head of the Pentagon when the shipments to Iraq of VX nerve gas, other weapons of mass destruction, and conventional weapons were first authorized by the Reagan administration in 1988.

Iraq fraud arrests expose criminality of US occupation
The arrest this week of a private contractor and a former US government official in connection with a multimillion-dollar contract-rigging and bribery scandal has exposed a piece of the corruption and criminality that is pervasive in Americas continuing military occupation of Iraq. It has likewise offered a glimpse of the layer of con men and profiteers who have flooded into the country in the name of reconstruction and democracy.

Amira Hass: The frog is exhausted:
In the development of the Israeli system of control over the Palestinian people and their land, the Israeli occupation has raised to the level of genius the use of gradualness as a means of making people grow used to something. The gradualness is implemented over a period of time, but it is also spread out over space.
