'Diplomatic' Terrorism

I think we have reason to be grateful, at least on this one occasion, for our president's crudity. His bluntness is a blessing. Now we know that, stripped of its moral pretensions, its "strategic doctrines," and its highfalutin' rhetoric, American foreign policy is nuclear blackmail, pure and simple.

In the interest of parsimony, both budgetary and literary, let us dispense with the high-flown policy pronouncements, communiqués, and other effluvia of diplomatic parlance, and boil it down to a simple statement of unmistakable clarity:Defy us and we'll destroy you.

The Left establishment's attack on 9/11 skeptics

Soon after revelations concerning Bush administration prior knowledge of the 9/11 attacks ("Memogate"), a number of well-known media "liberals" and "progressives" launched a heavy-handed series of broadsides against independent 9/11 researchers who had been developing alternative theories in response to the deeply flawed and fraudulent official story. Why would they do this, at precisely the point that the Bush administration was clearly sweating bullets and in deep trouble?

9/11: 30 Percent Of Gitmo Cleared To Go But US Hasn't Arranged Travel Home

Nearly 30 percent of the Guantanamo detainees have been cleared to leave the prison but remain jailed because the U.S. government has been unable to arrange for their return to their home countries, thePentagon said on Friday.

Bush's lame-duck presidency is stuck in its bubble

The further along U.S. presidents are in their second term, the more lame duck they become, the more chickens come home to roost, and the more they govern in a bubble.

U.S. President George W. Bush finds himself ensnared by the "ducks, chickens and bubbles" dilemmas, without any easy way out. He's not the first president to find his power and popularity ebbing in the second term ­ in recent years, think of Ronald Reagan and the Iran-Contra scandal, or Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

Attack Iran, Ignore the Constitution

George W. Bush famously proclaimed that he didn't have to ask anyone's permission to defend America. Does that mean he can attack Iran without having to ask Congress? A new Congressional resolution being drafted by Representative Peter DeFazio, a Democrat from Oregon, can be a vehicle to remind Bush that he can't.

Rice hints at “coalition of the willing” to tackle Iran

“The world wants Iran to adhere to its obligations and that's why the United States, in coordination with its allies, is seeking and probably will have to seek Security Council resolution to that effect”, she added.

What are Iran's "Obligations"? Under the Nuclear Non_proliferation Treaty Iran has the right, recognized by the other signers including the US, to develop nuclear technology for power generation, and to refine and process their own nuclear fuel for those power stations. In 20 years of inspections, nobody has uncovered any evidence that Iran is doing anything other than building power stations.

The One Certainty About Iraq: Spiraling Costs for Americans

Remember when Bush said that Iraq's oil would pay for the war and rebuilding? Well, that was another of his whoppers.

So, are you going to let your future and your children's futures be mortgaged to the hilt for an illegal war started with lies? Are you going to continue to be sheep under a government of wolves?

CIA Official: White House Ignored No-WMD Intel Before Iraq Invasion... The Policy Was Set

A CIA official who had a top role during the run-up to the Iraqi war charges the White House with ignoring intelligence that said there were no weapons of mass destruction or an active nuclear program in Iraq.

The former highest ranking CIA officer in Europe, Tyler Drumheller, also says that while the intelligence community did give the White House some bad intelligence, it also gave the White House good intelligence — which the administration chose to ignore.

Translation: Bush lied this country into war.

Ex - CIA Agent Says WMD Intelligence Ignored

The CIA had evidence Iraq possessed no weapons of mass destruction six months before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion but was ignored by a White House intent on ousting Saddam Hussein, a former senior CIA official said according to CBS.

Only a teaser unless you register, but still an important story in that this confirms that Bush KNEW Iraq did not have the weapons of mass destruction that he told you they did.

In other words, the defense that Bush meant well and that the claim that there were 'nookular' bombs in Iraq was never a simple "honest" mistake, but an outright boldfaced lie with malice aforethought.

Bush lied.

Israeli Military Blocks Palestinian Emergency Medical Aid

Since the incursion in Balata refugee camp started on 1:00 am February 19, medical emergency work has been made impossible by the IsraeliOccupation Forces (IOF). At this moment all entrances to Balata refugee camp are blocked. There is only one ambulance left inside the camp. It will bring wounded only to the edge of the camp, out of fear of not being allowed back in. Wounded individuals are carried on stretchers to the entrance of the camp and transported to Nablus hospitals. Normal ambulance traffic has come to a complete halt.

MMN: A friend in Nablus is of the opinion that these latest actions by Israel are a prelude to expulsions.
