Why Should We Vaccinate Infants? Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, used data from the Sentinel Counties Study of Viral Hepatitis to examine changes in disease incidence and risk factors for acute hepatitis B during 1982 to 1998. During this period, the median age of patients with acute hepatitis B increased from 27 years to 32 years, the authors report, while the incidence declined by 76.1% from its peak in 1987. The report indicates the main risk factors for infection, accounting for more than 88% of cases, were: * Heterosexual exposure to an infected partner 27.4%, * Intravenous drug use 18.2%, * Men having sex with men 13.5%. During this interval, cases associated with IDU declined by 90.6%, the researchers note, while cases associated with MSM activity fell by 63.5% and with high-risk heterosexual activity by 50.7%. J Infect Disease March 15, 2002;185:713-719 DR. MERCOLA'S COMMENT: The new vaccine recommendations to expose infants to this dangerous vaccine just don't make any sense when you consider that nearly 90% of the cases of hepatitis B are from sexual contact. These recommendations are inexcusable. There is no possible logical recommendation for this action. All of these arguments are fatally flawed. If you are new to the site these may sound like lunatic ramblings of some quack, but before you come to that, or a similar conclusion, I challenge you to examine the facts. The central fact, and the one that helps to explain these insane recommendations, is that the maker of hepatitis B vaccine, Merck, makes one billion dollars a year from this vaccine. A billion dollars a year goes a long way toward influencing public policy. Who is Behind This? The group that is pushing this through is called The Hepatitis B coalition. Part of the Immunization Action Coalition, this group was started by a $750,000 grant from the CDC. It is supported by the World Health Organization, World Bank, Rockefeller Foundation and ongoing funding from Smith-Kline, Merck, Aventis and Johnson Johnson. Let us not forget that it has been less than three years since the federal government asked the drug companies to take mercury out of this vaccine, and they still haven't complied. I have seen many dozens of children who were given this vaccine on the first day of life and subsequently developed autism. Others, like Michael Belkin's daughter, weren't as lucky and died immediately after the vaccine. Michael is a successful Wall Street Financial analyst with his own company, and has testified to Congress on this issue and regularly forwards news health stories to me. Well in the single dose hepatitis B vials, the drug companies have replaced the mercury with aluminum, which is another potent neurotoxin that has been associated with Alzheimer's. But who knows what damage it will do to the immature central nervous system of a one-day old infant. The multi dose hepatitis B vials still contain mercury. Folks, hepatitis B is about as difficult to catch as AIDS. Namely, you nearly always need to have blood or sexual contact of some sort. That is why the main risk factors are IV drug abusers and those who engage in sex with multiple partners. Is Hepatitis Vaccine Safe? The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was developed by the government to report vaccine reactions. Many experts believe that only 10% of the adverse reactions are reported though as reporting is not mandated by law. Even with only 10% of the problems being

Bush and the Nazis: New Documents
Herbert Parmet, November 26, 2003
The link for Anton Chaitkin in the article above turns up this interesting recent letter to the History News Network site:
http://hnn.us/comments/23439.html
EDITOR'S NOTE: We received the following email from Mr. Chaitkin on Nov. 13, 2003.
I co-authored {George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography}, published 1992, the definitive story of the Bush family's relations with the financing of Hitler and the Nazi war machine. I wrote that account based in part upon the work of my father, Jacob Chaitkin, the legal cousel and strategist for the Boycott against Nazi Germany carried on by the American Jewish Congress.
I am history editor of Executive Intelligence Review, the weekly 72-page magazine associated with the political movement of Lyndon LaRouche.
In the Bush / Nazis field at present, you are operating in the following geometry. We, and those working with us, are acting to bust up the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Ashcroft-Wolfowitz cabal, aiming for the immediate ouster of Cheney. This fight is now at the stage of an absolute showdown, with a potential nuclear war the possible outcome if we do not break these lunatics right away. IN THIS SITUATION, some people are reviving the Bush / Nazis story in order to deflect attention from the political struggle now underway. For example, as you know, former President Bush (41) has been acting in what strikes many as strange ways recently, evidently trying to restrain Junior from going over the abyss with Cheney. Thus, the story - which I put into the political mainstream in 1992 is only now being trotted out, for NOT necessarily good purposes.
For example, John Loftus, who did almost no original research, is now being hyped as the big source for the Bush-Nazis story; Loftus was recently at a war-crazies' summit in Israel with Richard Pearl et. al., promoting a new set of wars. [*]
A test of the sincerity of any new promotion of this story, would be whether the promoters actually get in touch with me, now. Here is my phone number - . Please give me a call -- I'd be pleased to talk with you, and assist you in any way that I can.
By the way, you can access the entire Unauthorized Biography, on many different websites. Just put my name and Bush into a search engine.
Yours truly,

[CTRL] Reservist Faces Punishment After Questioning a Waiver
-Caveat Lector- This is an outrage. - JR http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/29/national/29ARMY.html?pagewanted=printposition= November 29, 2003 Reservist Faces Punishment After Questioning a WaiverBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OCHESTER, Nov. 28 (AP) Capt. Steve McAlpin, a longtime Army reservist who spent most of last year deployed in Afghanistan, learned this week that he is facing insubordination charges that could end his 25-year military career. His breach of discipline is questioning the legality of a waiver his battalion was asked to sign that would put his unit back in a combat zone after only 11 months at home. Under federal law, Captain McAlpin noted, troops are allowed a 12-month "stabilization period." Captain McAlpin, 44, was notified in a memorandum on Wednesday that he was being removed from the 401st Civil Affairs Battalion's battle roster. He said he could face other punishment, including a court-martial and loss of rank. Members of the 401st will be deployed for duty overseas next Wednesday. The commander, Lt. Col. Phillip Carey, says in his memorandum that Captain McAlpin had a "negative attitude" and was being "insubordinate towards the leadership" of the 401st. Captain McAlpin said he questioned the waiver last Saturday in a teleconference with Col. Guy Sands, commander of the captain's parent unit, the 360th Civil Affairs Brigade in Fort Jackson, S.C. About a dozen other officers refused to sign the waiver, as well as four enlisted soldiers called to redeploy, Captain McAlpin said. "Soldiers are proud to serve any time, anywhere. I'd go tomorrow," he said on Friday from his home in Victor, 20 miles southeast of Rochester. "But I have four soldiers that don't want to go." The memorandum orders Captain McAlpin to clear up his affairs at the unit by Monday, when it bans him from battalion grounds. It also transfers him to the Individual Ready Reserves, whose soldiers can be called up in the event of a national emergency. Instead of signing the reprimand document, Captain McAlpin wrote a note of protest, stating that his performance evaluations had been excellent and that his record showed "no pattern of incompetence." Captain McAlpin served in Bosnia in 1996. Last year, while stationed in Afghanistan, he was a liaison to local warlords, coordinated relief supplies and organized an English-language teaching program. He said the military should "honor soldiers that have gone already" by giving them "a break from the hazards of combat." A spokesman for the 401st, Capt. Brian Earley, said Captain McAlpin's questioning of the waiver was only one reason he was being disciplined, with others including difficulties on the mission to Afghanistan.

[CTRL] The Global Progressive forum
-Caveat Lector- Subject: [JBirch] Global Progressive Forum [Note: whenever the word progressive appears in this article, think of it in the same way as when someone describes cancer as progressive.] Copyright 2003 The Financial Times Limited Financial Times (London,England) November 28, 2003, Friday USA Edition 1 New forum sets out to tackle inequality P website: A HREF=http://www.pes.org/GlobalProgressiveForum/Content.asp;The Global Progressive Forum is joint inititative of Party of European Socialists, the Parlimentary group of the PES and the Socilaist International/A From Mr Poul Nyrup Rasmussen. Sir, A new reform process to harness the energy of globalisation came into being this week with the inaugural meeting yesterday of the Global Progressive Forum. The forum will give progressive thinkers all over the world the opportunity to contribute to an emerging consensus on the need to shake up global governance. The new consensus is inclusive, drawing together international organisations, governments, economists, civil groups, business people and trade unionists, lawyers, academics and experts from other walks of life and from all regions of the world. They share the analysis that the appalling inequality in the world is a threat to people everywhere. Among problems it spawns are international terrorism, security threats, organised crime, the trafficking of human beings and the never-ending growth of the drugs trade. The world simply cannot continue to live on many layers - at the bottom a billion people struggling to survive without even access to clean water and at the top a wealthy few destroying the environment with their resource-hungry lifestyles. The forum and its website www.pes.org/ globalprogressiveforum are developing policy ideas to bridge divisions between peoples and countries. It recognises that globalisation inspires fear for culture, jobs, the environment and even identity and seeks to move concern from the level of street protest into policymaking forums. Some 1,500 participants and 150 speakers will take part in discussions over the next three days at the European parliament in Brussels. We know that we shall have to work patiently over many years to bring about the reforms that are needed. We must rethink the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and we must bring about change in the United Nations to strengthen the profile of our policy concerns. For example, we need to create a UN human development council, with status comparable with that of the existing Security Council, to tackle the world's worst social crises. If change is to happen, we need to build new alliances of progressive-minded people and organisations committed to the universal values of justice, solidarity, freedom and peace. Clearly, politicians will give a lead. But success will depend on transcending traditional party political lines and creating a new force for progress. We have five goals: * Securing the quality of human life for all * Preserving the environment and sustainable ways of living * Guaranteeing peace throughout the world in the face of old and new threats * Managing global migration and integrating immigrant populations in Europe * Deepening democracy at all levels, re-establishing a strong link between citizens and politics and reinforcing the capacity of public authorities to implement democratic choices, particularly at global governance level. Humanity has the means to achieve this vision. It is up to us to make it a reality.

[CTRL] Occupation Is a Lose-Lose Proposition (Charley Reese)
Title: Occupation Is a Lose-Lose Proposition, by Charley Reese -Caveat Lector- http://www.antiwar.com/reese/reese6.html Occupation Is a Lose-Lose Propositionby Charley ReeseNovember 29, 2003 Mosul, recently held up as an example of our successful occupation of Iraq, was where two American soldiers were shot, dragged out of their car and had their bodies pummeled with concrete blocks by a mob that had quickly gathered. All of this happened recently in broad daylight in the heart of the city. Would you not concede that such behavior indicates at least a mild distaste on the part of Iraqis for the American occupation? The fact is, the Bush administration lied about the reasons for going to war, and now it is lying about the occupation. It is trying what we tried to do in Vietnam fight a guerrilla war and win the "hearts and minds" of the people at the same time. Well, the policy failed in Vietnam, and it will fail in Iraq. The reasons are simple. A guerrilla war brutalizes the army that is fighting it. How do you think the GIs in Mosul feel about Iraqis after what happened to their comrades? They hate them. And that hatred will manifest itself, and this will in turn generate more resistance. No country in the world likes the idea of foreign occupation. The Arabs like it least of all. Every time an American soldier throws an Iraqi man to the ground and puts his boot on his neck or back, he creates an implacable, unforgiving enemy. Every time we kill some innocent Iraqis, we create enemies. Every time an American soldier body-searches a schoolgirl, we create enemies. Of course, some Iraqis will smile to our faces. Of course, some Iraqis want us to stay to avoid a civil war until they can worm their way into power. Of course, there are always traitors for sale in any country. But the simple fact that an Iraqi hates Saddam Hussein does not mean that he or she likes us. Some Americans seem to have trouble grasping that people can hate both Saddam Hussein and the Americans. You should also note that we have been trying to catch Saddam for eight months now. If he were as hated as American propaganda makes him out to be, surely one Iraqi would have dropped a dime on him by now and collected that $25 million. Yet this 66-year-old geezer continues to elude his 140,000 pursuers. More recently, an American military officer said something really stupid and callous. He said that the attacks were insignificant. I don't think that the people who are killed and maimed and their loved ones consider them to be insignificant. That was the calloused part. The stupid part was when he said the guerrillas could not defeat the American military. Of course they can't, and they aren't even trying. The purpose of the guerrilla attacks is not to defeat us, but merely to demonstrate that we cannot control the country. As long as the guerrillas can kill one or two Americans and Iraqi collaborators now and then, they will be "winning." The Viet Cong could not defeat the American military either, but you see who left and who stayed. It doesn't cost the Iraqi guerrilla anything to stay in Iraq. It's his home. He has nowhere else to go. On the other hand, it's costing us $2 billion a week to stay in Iraq, not counting the cost in lives and the spent political capital. Sooner or later, we will leave, and the Iraqi guerrillas know that. The president can prattle all he wants about "staying the course," but the only question is, can we establish a halfway decent government before we are forced to bail out? Some people in the Pentagon are saying we will be in Iraq for five or six years. I don't think we will last that long. Just in dollars and cents, six years would cost us a third of a trillion dollars. The sooner we leave, the better, because the longer we stay, the more resistance we will generate. We have dropped young American men and women, well-trained to fight a conventional war, into an alien culture, and they simply don't know how to deal with it. They will grow to resent and to hate Iraqis, and this resentment and hatred will be returned with interest.

[CTRL] Raid On Arab TV Network Hardly A Democratic Move (Helen Thomas)
-Caveat Lector- The neocons, who are all wannabe world dictators,have proven repeatedly by their words and deeds that they profoundly despise democracy: http://www.thebostonchannel.com/helenthomas/2667834/detail.html Raid On Arab TV Network Hardly A Democratic Move Dictators Should Be Only Ones Shutting Down Media Broadcasts POSTED: 5:22 p.m. EST November 26, 2003 UPDATED: 5:23 p.m. EST November 26, 2003 WASHINGTON -- The raid by the U.S.-appointed Iraqi officials on an Arab television network bureau in Baghdad and the ban on its broadcasts hardly fits my idea of how to spread democracy in the Middle East. Isn't that the first thing dictators do -- shut down broadcast outlets and newspapers? For those in power, tolerating a free press is difficult, even in a democracy. As a foreign occupier in Iraq, we are proving that it is intolerable. The terrible irony here is that we pride ourselves on offering a model to the rest of the world on how to design -- and live by -- our constitutional freedoms. Journalists around the globe have been taught to emulate our approach to newsgathering, hopefully in an atmosphere free of government restraints. At the same time, we're snuffing out news outlets we don't like. On Monday, the U.S.-appointed Iraqi government raided the Baghdad bureau of the Al-Arabiya TV network. The network's crime was to broadcast an audiotape from Saddam Hussein complaining about Iraqis who were cooperating with the U.S. occupation force and calling for resistance. The tape had been sent to Al-Arabiya's headquarters in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. The network, which has interviewed Secretary of State Colin Powell in the past, is one of the largest TV outlets in the Arab world. Any tape portraying Saddam's views on life fits the definition of news, if for no other reason than it is evidence that he is still alive and able to secretly communicate from wherever he was hiding. Al-Arabiya and its competitor, the Al-Jazeera Satellite Channel, have a wide following throughout the Middle East. Al-Jazeera caused Washington much discomfort in the lead-up to the war by broadcasting statements from Saddam. The White House strongly offered "advice" to U.S. TV outlets to shun those tapes but the American networks generally ignored the unhelpful hints. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has accused both Arab stations of being hostile by covering news of the guerrilla attacks on American forces. Al-Jazeera's Baghdad bureau was hit by a U.S. missile on April 8, killing a reporter-cameraman. The network also has complained of an attack on its marked vehicle April 7. On Nov. 13, 2001, during the U.S. war on Afghanistan an American missile went "awry," according to the Pentagon, and destroyed the Al-Jazeera bureau in Kabul. The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists has condemned the move against Al-Arabiya, noting that "statements from Saddam Hussein and the former Iraqi regime are inherently newsworthy and news organizations have a right to cover them." Rumsfeld grouses that the two stations were violently against the American coalition. He hopes to counter their influence when a U.S.-controlled TV satellite channel begins broadcasts next month. Then will the Iraqis and the Arab world be guaranteed the truth? In a brilliant speech earlier this month before the National Conference on Media Reform, broadcaster and former newspaper editor Bill Moyers warned that American media conglomerates may find common cause "with an imperial state." But Moyers said "the greatest moments in the history of the press came not when journalists made common cause with the state but when they stood fearlessly independent of it." Against that statement of values, the recent performance by American journalists does not measure well. White House and Pentagon reporters initially pulled their punches in reporting on the Iraqi war. Some media outlets admittedly did not want to rock the boat by showing grisly photos or videotape that could be disturbing to Americans. As a result, many Americans tuned in on foreign news channels to get the full picture of the war. Even now, with the administration's pro-war arguments reduced to a pile of confetti, many news outlets have failed to demand accountability from the Bush administration for what appears to be systematic dishonesty in trying to justify the U.S. attack. This failure and the U.S.-led suppression of newsgathering in Iraq show that the historic American model for a free and independent press needs courageous bolstering.

[CTRL] SMALLPOX PROVISIONS HIDDEN IN HOMELAND SECURITY BILL
http://www.friendsofliberty.com/modules.php?name=Newsfile=articlesid=1417 SMALLPOX PROVISIONS HIDDEN IN HOMELAND SECURITY BILL by Mike Davis 11/14/2002, 11:22:00 The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is urging Members of Congress to eliminate the section of the new Homeland Security Bill that would give the HHS Secretary virtually unlimited powers to declare an emergency and order smallpox treatment that could include forced immunizations and quarantines. The 480-page bill, HR 5710 hits the floor of the House tonight, even though most Members haven't had a chance to read it yet. Section 304, Subsection C is titled "Administration of counter measures against smallpox." It gives the Secretary of HHS these unchecked powers (pg. 76): Declare an actual or POTENTIAL bio-terrorist or other kind of incident He can administer "countermeasures" to a category of individuals or everyone He can continually extend the declare the declaration without Congress's consent Also, if you are harmed, you cannot sue or take any other civil remedy. "This section will give the Secretary unlimited power to define a real or potential threat, to take any measures he decides, and to do it for as long as he wants," said Kathryn Serkes, AAPS spokeswoman. "Its Alice in Wonderland time again an emergency is just what he says it is." Serkes also points out that the section echoes the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act that most state legislatures defeated this past year. "Just remove 'governor' from the old bill and insert 'Secretary' and magically you have a federal bill that was firmly rejected by voters across the country," said Serkes. AAPS sent out thousands of email alerts urging voters to ask that the section be removed. "Just what are the 'counter measures' allowed?" Forced immunizations? Quarantines? Its not clear, but the powers seem virtually unchecked by any other agency," said Serkes. "We need an honest accounting of how this will work. It's too frightening to allow it to be rammed through." AAPS has repeatedly applauded the President's movement toward an advance, voluntary immunization to head off forced vaccines following an attack.
[CTRL] Warning
-Caveat Lector- The distressing incident in which Dru Sjodin, the North Dakota coed, was abducted holds elements that all women should be warned about. When a woman leaves a shopping mall, she is already in a difficult situation. Often it is dark, and she is passing innumerable cars and vans. There are people on all sides if there is a heavy shopping situation. Now add to this the fact that a woman leaving a mall has a purse and/or a package in one hand and lately is holding a phone to her ear with the other. She is not even concentrating on getting to her car. She is talking to someone and her mind is basically on the conversation she is having. She could not be more vulnerable if she were wearing handcuffs. This is a rather new situation, and I'm no rocket scientist. If I can figure out what an easy target women are in this situation, so can a dozen or so freaky creeps who seem to always be looking for victims. I'm sure the scum who prey on women will all be trying the new method. Women all over the United States should be warned that when they are through shopping anywhere and returning to their cars, they should put the phone away before they exit the building and keep their attention on their surroundings. Malls are not the only places where this should be observed. There is no call so urgent that it cannot wait until they arein the car with the doors locked.

Re: [CTRL] Warning
-Caveat Lector- Prudy, Also (in shopping malls especially) get in the habit of looking under your car and in the back seat before you get in. I know it sounds strange but it's not all that hard to get a car door open and for a predator to crawl in the back seat and hide. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ### - Original Message - From: Prudy L To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2003 10:48 AM Subject: [CTRL] Warning -Caveat Lector- The distressing incident in which Dru Sjodin, the North Dakota coed, was abducted holds elements that all women should be warned about. When a woman leaves a shopping mall, she is already in a difficult situation. Often it is dark, and she is passing innumerable cars and vans. There are people on all sides if there is a heavy shopping situation. Now add to this the fact that a woman leaving a mall has a purse and/or a package in one hand and lately is holding a phone to her ear with the other. She is not even concentrating on getting to her car. She is talking to someone and her mind is basically on the conversation she is having. She could not be more vulnerable if she were wearing handcuffs. This is a rather new situation, and I'm no rocket scientist. If I can figure out what an easy target women are in this situation, so can a dozen or so freaky creeps who seem to always be looking for victims. I'm sure the scum who prey on women will all be trying the new method. Women all over the United States should be warned that when they are through shopping anywhere and returning to their cars, they should put the phone away before they exit the building and keep their attention on their surroundings. Malls are not the only places where this should be observed. There is no call so urgent that it cannot wait until they arein the car with the doors locked.

[CTRL] Sharon's Right of Returnto Violence
http://solidarity.igc.org/atc/106jrf.html Sharon's Right of Returnto Violence by Joel R. Finkel Whereas seventy-three percent of the Palestinians supported this ceasefire, because they were offered exactly nothing, because they continued to see their land and homes confiscated, and because they continued to see their villages imprisoned by the wall, far fewer are likely to support the next one. This is what the military leaders of Israel wanted all alongwith every turn of the wheel, the secular leaders get weaker and the Islamists get strongerand now they can have the pleasure of dancing on the graves of many more innocent Israelis and Palestinians. ARIEL SHARON'S RIGHT of Return, or shall we say his Return to the Right, has led Israelis and Palestinians full circle in their cycle of violence. Sadly, they are now one level closer to hell, and it will be even more difficult for them to survive. While almost entirely predictable, it is instructive to review the steps and strategies that have led to the current horrific disaster, which will claim the lives of many more Palestinians and Israelis. The motor force that propelled events along this path was, as always, the Israeli leadership's unwillingness to sacrifice a single square millimeter of land and its undying commitment to the Zionist project of colonizing the entire Palestinian homeland. Talk Peace, Give Nothing As always, it faced the resolute commitment of the indigenous population, which has now been relegated to but eleven percent of its original homeland, to resist this plan. Superimposed on this familiar backdrop was the reemergence of an enormous corruption scandal, which would have brought down any other government. Sharon's trustworthiness among Israelis has dropped precipitously. It is not surprising, therefore, that distractions would be created. These first came in the form of increased activity on the Lebanese border. Ordering Air Force planes to fly over Lebanese air space, Sharon was able to provoke Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon to fire some scattered anti-aircraft fire, which landed near Israeli border settlements. Claiming these to be intentional attacks, Sharon started to attack Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, which he hoped would provoke them into serious reprisals. As this failed, he sent aircraft to break the sound barrier over Beirut. Worse still, the United States was not only becoming annoyed with the Israeli government, it was, for the first time in years, talking about freezing loan guarantees. The result needs to be examined closely. In doing so, we need to keep in mind this theory: The strategy of the Israeli government is to make it appear that it wants peace, raise the Palestinians' expectations, and then give them absolutely nothing. In this way, the moderate Palestinian leaders lose credibility. This, in effect, destroys Israel's negotiating partner, allowing it to claim that the only solution is a military one. Indeed, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, a top polling agency on Palestinian public opinion, seventy-three percent of the Palestinians supported the ninety-day ceasefire declared in June. However, this ceasefire was unilateral, as Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom stated in a radio interview: This ceasefire is not an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. The ceasefire is an agreement among the Palestinians themselves. We have a security agreement with the Palestinians. (Israel Radio, "Reshet Beit," August 10, 2003) That the ceasefire was effective was admitted by Shaul Mofaz, Israel's Defense Minister, who reported that terrorism alerts had dropped by about seventy-five percent. (The Washington Post, 7/23/2003) Yet Israel kept claiming that the Palestinians were not fulfilling the requirements of the road map as they were not actually dismantling Hamas. Israel knew this demand was unrealistic. It was akin to demanding that the Republicans dismantle the Democrats. It was a demand that the Palestinian Authority (PA) start a civil war. The United States came to understand this. On August 4, 2003, the U.S. State Department began talking about speeding up the delivery of $300 million in aid to the PA, and was already backing off its demands that they simply crush the Hamas leadership: "We've emphatically stated in public and private what needs to be done," a senior American official said. "It is clear that it cannot be done instantly. It requires planning, a strengthening of security forces and a unification of those forces under Abbas and Dahlan." (New York Times, August 2, 2003) Obviously, what was possible was to negotiate a ceasefire under which Hamas and Islamic Jihad stopped their attacks within Israel. In return, it was expected that Israel live up to at least some aspects of the road map and reduce its level of violence against the Palestinians. Instead, Israel violated every principle of the road map
[CTRL] Most Blacks Oppose Gay Marriage
-Caveat Lector- Poll: Most Blacks Oppose Gay Marriage Activists Say Don't Compare Civil Rights, Gay Struggles POSTED: 7:33 a.m. EST November 26, 2003 UPDATED: 7:35 a.m. EST November 26, 2003 BOSTON -- Every time the Rev. Talbert Swan II hears the fight for gay marriage compared to blacks' struggle for equality, it sticks in my craw, he said. By that measure, the Springfield, Mass., minister, who is black, had an aggravating week. Supreme Court Justice Margaret Marshall cited landmark laws that struck bans on interracial marriage in her majority opinion last week, which declared it unconstitutional to deny same sex couples the right to marry. Since, numerous editorials and columns have linked the struggles. In Wednesday's Democratic debate, both black candidates, Carol Moseley Braun and the Rev. Al Sharpton, declared support for gay marriage, and both compared it to past discrimination against blacks. But Swan said the struggles of the groups don't compare, and a recent national poll indicates little support for gay marriage among blacks. Blacks were lynched, denied property rights and declared inhuman, Swan said. Homosexuality is a chosen lifestyle, he said, I could not chose the color of my skin. ... For me to ride down the street and get profiled just because of my skin color is something a homosexual will never go through. The Rev. William Sinkford, a black man who is president of the Unitarian Universalist Association, said both sides have had different experiences, but have seen similar discrimination. The struggle for gay civil rights is this generation's great challenge, he said, just as equality for blacks was the last generation's. I think there's very little to be gained by trying to create a hierarchy of oppression, Sinkford said. A poll released by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press on Nov. 18, the day of the Supreme Judicial Court ruling, indicated 60 percent of blacks opposed gay marriage. They were also less likely than both whites and Hispanics to support gay marriage, with just 28 percent in favor. When asked if they favored legal agreements with many of the same rights as marriage, 51 percent of blacks opposed, with 37 percent in favor, again fewer than Hispanics and whites. Michael Adams, an attorney with the gay advocacy legal group, Lambda Legal, said the split with the black community seems to revolve around the marriage issue, noting polls show black support gays in other areas, such as workplace equality. Strong conservative religious values that predominate in the black community may explain that, he said. He added that there's no question of key differences in the two movements, including slavery and forced segregation, which gays never experienced. But the groups have seen similar discrimination based on deeply held prejudices, he said. Emory College professor David Garrow said the legal histories of the two movements have abundant parallels, including the arguments that marriage between the races and sexes is unnatural and against God's law. Homosexuals have also seen similar bias in the workplace when they've made their sexual orientation known, he said. But Mychal Massie, is a conservative columnist and member of Project 21, a Washington D.C.-based political alliance of conservative blacks, said the comparisons simply aren't valid. It is an outrage to align something so offensive as this with the struggle of a fallen man, a great man such as Martin Luther King, said Massie, who writes for WorldNetDaily.com. The whole thing bespeaks of something much deeper and more insidious than we just want to get married, he said. They want to change the entire social order. Alvin Williams, President and CEO of the Washington D.C.-based Black America's Political Action Committee, a conservative group, said the gay marriage issue looks like an equal rights issue at first, but becomes a special rights issue after closer examination because it's about behavior, not ethnicity. He added he understands why gays want to associated with the civil rights movement. It seems like it would be a good fit, he said. A lot of people have a lot of good will associated with the civil and voting rights movement. If they could make a comparison, it could create sympathy. Adams said gay marriage advocates refer to the civil rights movement only because it was so successful, not to make any gains by association. It is the model how to fight, Adams said.

[CTRL] Forced Immunizations And Quarantines
-Caveat Lector- More American Freedom down the drain. Americans have more to fear than terrorists... like that bloated government in Washington, DC. SMALLPOX PROVISIONS HIDDEN IN HOMELAND SECURITY BILL by Mike Davis ® 11/14/2002, 11:22:00 The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is urging Members of Congress to eliminate the section of the new Homeland Security Bill that would give the HHS Secretary virtually unlimited powers to declare an emergency and order smallpox treatment that could include Forced Immunizations And Quarantines. The 480-page bill, HR 5710 hits the floor of the House tonight, even though most Members haven't had a chance to read it yet. Section 304, Subsection C is titled Administration of counter measures against smallpox. It gives the Secretary of HHS these unchecked powers (pg. 76): Declare an actual or POTENTIAL bio-terrorist or other kind of incident He can administer countermeasures to a category of individuals or everyone He can continually extend the declare the declaration without Congress's consent Also, if you are harmed, you cannot sue or take any other civil remedy. This section will give the Secretary unlimited power to define a real or potential threat, to take any measures he decides, and to do it for as long as he wants, said Kathryn Serkes, AAPS spokeswoman. Itâs Alice in Wonderland time again an emergency is just what he says it is. Serkes also points out that the section echoes the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act that most state legislatures defeated this past year. Just remove 'governor' from the old bill and insert 'Secretary' and magically you have a federal bill that was firmly rejected by voters across the country, said Serkes. AAPS sent out thousands of email alerts urging voters to ask that the section be removed. Just what are the 'counter measures' allowed? Forced immunizations? Quarantines? Itâs not clear, but the powers seem virtually unchecked by any other agency, said Serkes. We need an honest accounting of how this will work. It's too frightening to allow it to be rammed through. AAPS has repeatedly applauded the President's movement toward an advance, voluntary immunization to head off forced vaccines following an attack. - -iNFoWaRZ Vaccinations and Quarantines at Gunpoint.

[CTRL] Hinckley-Bush Family-Friend-Nears Release
-Caveat Lector- Hinckley - Bush Family Friend - Nears Release By von A. Weist 11-28-3John Hinckley Jr., who shot Ronald Reagan in 1981, is about to be partially released from confinement after testimony from government psychiatrists. Hinckley's family and the family of President George W. Bush have long, complicated ties that have been little reported. Hinckley's brother was scheduled to have dinner at the home of the current President Bush's brother the day after the assassination attempt. Nov. 26, 2003 - John Hinckley Jr., who has been hospitalized since shooting President Ronald Reagan in 1981, might receive permission any day from a federal judge to make unsupervised visits to his parents' home. Hinckley's family and the family of President George W. Bush have long social, political, and economic ties that have been little reported. Hinckley's brother was scheduled to have dinner at the home of the current President Bush's brother the day after the assassination attempt. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman recently said he would let John W. Hinckley, Jr., make the visits with certain restrictions, but he first wanted to hear testimony officials at St. Elizabeths Hospital, where Hinckley is being treated. Today that condition was met when Paul Montalbano of St. Elizabeths testified that Hinckley is ready for visits under conditions recommended by government experts. Today also, John Hinckley, Jr.'s, bid for unsupervised visits with his parents received a further boost as two psychiatrists testifying for the government said the request from the man who shot President Reagan should be approved but only under more restrictions than previously proposed. The families of Ronald Reagan and James Brady, his press secretary, who received a head wound (and whose wife successfully promoted the gun-control Brady Bill), have opposed the release. Just after the shooting, Hinckley's family made an assurance similar to those being made now, saying through an attorney, recent evaluations alerted no one to the seriousness of his condition. Hinckley has been confined to the St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, since he shot Reagan three others. The visists would be to his parents' home in Williamsburg, Virginia. He was tried for the incident but acquitted by reason of insanity after his lawyer, the legendary Edward Bennett Williams, argued that Hinckley shot the president to impress actress Jody Foster. Vice president George H.W. Bush, father of the current president, George Bush, Jr., assumed the duties of the presidency briefly after the shooting and nearly became president as Reagan almost died from the shooting. A bullet missed his aorta by less than an inch. The Bush and Hinckley families go back to the oil-wildcatting days of the 1960s in Texas. (Ironically, they go back even farther in a genealogical sense, since the have a common ancestor in Samuel Hinckley, who lived in the late 1600s.) The relationship was much closer between George Bush, Sr., and John Hinckley, Sr., whose families were neighbors for years in Houston. John Hinckley, Sr., contributed to the political campaigns of Bush, Sr., all the way back to Bush's running for Congress, and he supported Bush against Reagan for the 1980 Republican presidential nomination. Bush, Sr., and Hinckley, Sr., were both in the oil business. When the Hinckley oil company, Vanderbilt Oil, started to fail in the 1960s, Bush, Sr.'s, Zapata Oil financially bailed out Hinckley's sompany. Hinckley had been running an operation with six dead wells, but he began making several milliion dollars a year after the Bush bailout. Scott Hinckley, John's brother, was scheduled to have dinner at the Denver home of Neil Bush, Bush, Sr.'s, son (and of course the current president's brother) the day after the shooting. At the time, Neil Bush was a Denver-based purchaser of mineral rights for Amoco, and Scott Hinckley was the vice president of his father's Denver-based oil business. On the day of the shooting, NBC news anchor John Chancellor, eyebrows raised, informed the viewers of the nightly news that the man who tried to kill the president was acquainted with the son of the man who would have become president had the attack succeeded. As a matter of fact, Chancellor reported in a bewildered tone, Scott Hinckley and Neil Bush had been scheduled to have dinner together at the home of the (then) vice-president's son (Neil) the very next night. The story of the Bush-Hinckley connection was reported on the AP and UPI newswires and in some newspapers, including the Houston Post, which apparently originated the story. It was also reported in Newsweek magazine. Then the story about one of the strangest coincidences in presidential assassination history simply disappeared.

The brief visit, arranged in top secrecy, occurred too late for most papers to give it full coverage, and almost all ran the same wire agency photo of Mr Bush, clad in a gray army bomber jacket, carrying a large tray of roast turkey, potatoes and grapes through a crowd of smiling soldiers. Those which did comment were mostly skeptical of Mr Bush's motives, with the US presidential election now less than 12 months away. "The turkey has landed," ran the front-page headline in the London daily Independent. "The daily Vanguardia, published in Spain's second city Barcelona, noted darkly that "George W Bush does not attend the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq, but has dinner in Baghdad with those who dream of coming home alive." "George Bush becomes the first US president to visit Iraq in order to provide the television pictures required by his re-election campaign," it said, noting that Hillary Rodham Clinton, "his undeclared Democratic opponent," was on her way to Baghdad from Afghanistan. Liberation noted that more than 430 US soldiers had been killed in Iraq, 184 of them since Bush declared an official end to the war on May 1, and quoted a Gallup opinion poll this month showing that 54 percent of Americans disapproved of the way the post-war situation was being handled. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Anti-Semitism
-Caveat Lector- http://english.daralhayat.com/letters/10-2003/Article-20031009-217e3cb1-c0a8-01ed-003c-37f4ff9bd91e/story.html Anti-Semitism J. Bruce Campbell Dar Al-Hayat 2003/10/9 Dear Al-Hayat, Congratulations to the writer of 'A New Definition of Anti-Semitism' (Jihad Al Khazen - Ayoon wa Azan, 6 Oct. 2003). The sadistic nature of Zionism must be emphasized so that the dimmest person associates the word with scorn and revulsion. There is one thing that puzzles me: You are apparently a Semite. And you know very well that the Russian Jews - the Ashkenazim - who control Israel and the United States are not Semitic. But you and all Arabs, who should know better, allow the weaponization of the Jewish term, "anti-Semitism." You Semites never use this term to characterize those who hate and murder you. The genuine anti-Semites are the Zionists, to whom you have granted the exclusive use of this weapon. You even allow them to accuse you of "anti-Semitism" as they practice the vilest form of it against you, and you never object! Even this otherwise excellent article on "anti-Semitism" doesn't mention this obvious fact. The Israelis, no matter whence they came to Palestine (Russia, Poland, Lithuania, West Europe, America, etc), are ninety-five percent Russian Jews, whose ancestors never set foot in the Middle East and who were in fact converts to Judaism around 900 AD. The few Sephardic Jews in Israel have virtually no rights compared with the Ashkenazim. "Zionism" simply means that the descendants of those converts must emigrate to Palestine, seize control of it, rename it and "make the Law go forth from Zion." The Law is Deuteronomy and the guide for the application of the Law is the Talmud. Why don't you Semites blow the whistle on these criminal psychopaths and their deceptive weapon of mind control - "anti-Semitism?" An Anglo-Saxon such as I cannot really complain about the abuse of the term because I have no standing as a Semite. But you have. The Jews use the term for two good reasons: First, it suggests that they are in fact Semitic, which serves to justify their invasion and occupation of Palestine, something that would be otherwise inexplicable for a non-Semite. The obvious question would be: Why do you insist on living there, where you have no roots? The other reason is that "anti-Semitism" has a clinical, sinister sound. It sounds like a congenital mental disease, which I believe it is in its true form, as practiced by Jews and their janissaries such as Bush and DeLay. But they simply do not want the term "anti-Jew" used, because they don't want non-Jews to say the word, "Jew." It offends them because the very use of the word by a non-Jew is an accusation of guilt - and they know it. So, I urge you to spread this very helpful suggestion to create awareness of the criminal psychopathic abuse of the very legitimate term, "anti-Semitism," by racist fanatics whose main reason for living is to exterminate all Semites. Such a truth campaign would undermine and eventually destroy the Jewish lie of "the right of return." What right? How can you return to a place you and your ancestors never were? www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Britain in secret EU army deal
-Caveat Lector- http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/11/29/weu29.xmlsSheet=/news/2003/11/29/ixnewstop.html Britain in secret EU army deal By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Naples (Filed: 29/11/2003) Britain has taken a dramatic step towards a fully-fledged European army, signing up to Franco-German proposals for a planning headquarters outside Nato, it emerged yesterday. The deal reached by British, German and French officials in secret talks in Berlin this week establishes an "operational" command in Brussels, allowing the EU to run day-to-day battlefield missions for the first time. Risking a major clash with Washington, it points to a definitive break with British defence doctrine of the last half century. But British officials hinted last night that Tony Blair would re-write the agreement if America was adamantly opposed. Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, was caught flat-footed yesterday at a summit of EU foreign ministers in Naples when the deal leaked in the French press before Britain had a chance to seek approval from Washington. The British had expected to notify President George W Bush on Thursday but the plans were thrown out by his surprise trip to Baghdad. In September, the Americans were stunned when they learned that Britain had agreed in general terms to an EU operational command, fearing that it would lead to a rival military structure and ultimately destroy Nato. The Government appeared to row back on the commitment after intense pressure from Washington, but the latest deal suggests that No 10 is still inclined to cast its lot with the Europeans in defence. The French newspaper Le Monde quoted chunks of the deal yesterday, reporting that it would start as a skeleton body and would also handle humanitarian missions. It said the unit would be "a European military headquarters in all but name". The EU already has a 150-strong military staff but it is limited to "strategic planning" and is unable to manage field operations. The EU's military mission in Macedonia currently reports through the Nato chain of command. Le Monde also cited Franco-British-German proposals for the new European constitution which were to be discussed by all 25 foreign ministers of the enlarged EU last night over dinner. These include "structured co-operation" in defence to allow a vanguard of states to press ahead, provided they have the muscle to mobilise troops within 30 days for missions of up to four months. It would take a vote by qualified majority of all EU states to trigger the vanguard force which would then become a permanent EU military arm acting in the name of the EU. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

With Republican party governors firmly in charge of Florida, California, Texas and New York, and supported by a whopping Bush campaign war chest approaching $200 million, dubious electronic voting schemes courtesy of Diebold, Lockheed Martin and other defense contractors (http://www.blackboxvoting.com), it seems certain that Bush will make it back to the Oval Office through the back door that is the Electoral College. And if not the Electoral College then by benefit of a rebel attack on US soil which kills thousands of Americans and leads to the suspension of the US Constitution. That according to General Tommy Franks, USA (Ret.), who opined in the magazine Cigar Aficionado that the US will have to shed its constitution in favor of a military style of government. Even the notorious aristocrat Alexander Hamilton would have been appalled as such a statement, as would Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. But these are mediocre times in history; particularly, and dangerously, in America where its people have eliminated those who might have continued to wage a struggle for an equitable form of government in the US, as well as engage the world through international treaty building. Mediocre times produce the very worst that the world has to offer: Reagan, Bin Laden, Bush, Hussein, Sharon, and Blair. None but the feeble minded could draw inspiration from such a ghastly lineup of "leaders". This is the world as it has become absent the shortened lives of John and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X and Yitzhak Rabin, all of whom were murdered for their beliefs, or, rather, for the threat they posed to the established interests. Even Nikita Khrushchev was removed from power in the then USSR in 1964 for trying to push his country towards a more peaceful coexistence with the rest of the world. The threats these titans of history posed to the established order of their day was not so much monetary as it was ideology. Each of them planted in the minds of those who would listen the thought that the established order of war, racism, poverty, and income and wealth disparity could and should be questioned. However, those who pull the strings could not stand an ignorant populace that questioned the order of things. And so their fate was, it seems, preordained by disgruntled individuals agitated by those portions of business and government who were wedded to the status quo. And so, JFK and Khrushchev, King and RFK, and Malcolm X and Rubin were terminated and Americans, and the world, found themselves at the mercy of Bush and Bin Laden, Hussein and Blair, and Reagan and Sharon. Crippled Opposition With the election of Bush II in 2004, the ideological and economic fracturing of America will be complete and, for the foreseeable future, permanent. The three branches of the US government, corporations, and the majority of state's governors and state houses will be controlled by those Republicans and Democrats who have become indistinguishable in their belief that the government's only role in America is to make it safe and ludicrously easy for small and large corporations to make a profit without the drag of government regulations, programs and taxes that, in their view, steal from the bottom line. With those folks at the helm, 2002 and 2003 saw the US federal and state governments give the business community trillions of dollars of hand-outs in the form of tax cuts, regulatory relief and legislation that allowed businesses to rape and pillage the American landscape and its middle and lower classes. The latter groups struggle is getting worse. Even as its industrial, service and information technology jobs are exported to other countries, these Americans are being forced to work longer hours, endure more expensive privatized health and welfare benefits, and higher prices for feeding, clothing and educating their children. Slowly but surely, Americans from the middle and lower classes find themselves at an increasing distance from their rulers, yet must bear the burden of profit and war for these same dastardly people. But those that rule have in their malleable plebian audience a strange group of middle and lower class acolytes. Among them, the notorious Christian right and an estimated 5 to 9 million American-Muslims who handed Bush II over 90 percent of their vote in the last presidential election. That group, along with neo-con Latinos and Asians, seem to have forgotten the struggles they waged to reach, what once was, a republic with a semblance of representative democracy. Are they trying to recreate the
[CTRL] USC (Trojans) Named Center For Homeland Security

ACTION: Notice. --- SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security has designated the University of Southern California as a Center for Homeland Security (HS-Center). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laura Petonito, Deputy Director, University Programs, Science and Technology Division, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528; telephone 202-401-1113, facsimile 202-772-9916; e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Section 308 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. 107-296, (Homeland Security Act), as amended by the Omnibus Appropriation Act of 2003, Pub. L. 108-7, directs the Department of Homeland Security (Department) to sponsor extramural research, development, demonstration, testing and evaluation programs relating to homeland security. As part of this program, the Department is to establish a university-based center or centers for homeland security. The purpose of these centers is to provide a locus to attract and retain academic scholars in pursuit of homeland security-related disciplines. The Centers are envisioned to be an integral and critical component of the Department's capability to anticipate, prevent, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks. The Centers will leverage multidisciplinary capabilities of universities and fill gaps in current knowledge. Section 308(b)(2)(B) of the Homeland Security Act lists fourteen areas of substantive expertise that, if demonstrated, might qualify universities for designation as university-based centers. The listed areas of expertise include, among others, food safety, first responders, multi-modal transportation, and responding to incidents involving weapons of mass destruction. However, the list is not exclusive. Section 308(b)(2)(C) gives the Secretary discretion to consider additional criteria beyond those specified in section 308(b)(2)(B) in selecting universities for this program, as long as the Department issues a Federal Register notice explaining the criteria used for the designation. Criteria In 2002, the National Research Council (NRC) issued a report entitled ``Making the Nation Safer: The Role of Science and Technology in Countering Terrorism.'' In this report, the NRC recommended a number of substantive areas for research that could contribute to national security. Among other issues, the NRC report identified the need to perform risk analysis and modeling of vulnerabilities and economic analysis of security enhancements as areas for which research is needed. The Department agrees that research in these areas will contribute [[Page 66843]] significantly to the Department's ability to identify, and select among, options for enhancing national security. Risk-based modeling, and economic analysis, will help the Department understand the impact and consequences of potential acts of terrorism, thus providing decision makers with validated tools to evaluate vulnerabilities and identify countermeasures and response actions. Solicitation of Interest and Designation In August 2003, the Department sought white papers from universities that wished to be designated as HS-Centers. The HS-Centers are envisioned to be an integral and critical component of the new ``homeland security complex'' that will provide the nation with a robust, dedicated and enduring capability that will enhance our ability to anticipate, prevent, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks. The notice, made available on the DHS Internet site (http://www.dhs.gov) and (http://www.orau.gov/dhsuce), identified risk-based economic modeling as one of the areas of expertise (criteria) that might merit designation. The Department received a number of proposals and evaluated them through a process that included the participation of federal government and outside experts. After the panels of experts selected final potential designees, the Department conducted site visits to interview the individuals who would be performing the research. Based on this evaluation, the Department has selected the University of Southern California (USC) as the first HS-Center for this program. USC will conduct research on risk-based modeling, with a particular emphasis on the economic aspects.
[CTRL] Iraq situation provides analysts with a complex puzzle (Georgie Anne Geyer)
-Caveat Lector- http://www.uexpress.com/printable/print.html?uc_full_date=20031106uc_comic=gg back to Georgie Anne Geyer IRAQ SITUATION PROVIDES ANALYSTS WITH A COMPLEX PUZZLEWASHINGTON -- There is one question on everyone's lips here these days: "All right, what should we do next?" The issue, of course, is Iraq, and the questions about the next stage of American policy there are coming from all corners. Little else is discussed at meetings and receptions, although a second question is also emerging: "And how long do we have to do anything?" So first, let me try to splice together the answer coming from both sympathizers of the Iraq war and its most passionate critics -- although not yet from the White House or the Pentagon. This solution to the (new word of the administration) "insurgency" would be first to internationalize the conflict, and second to do some public "housecleaning" of the neoconservative advocates of the war as a symbol of willingness to change. But bringing in French, German, Indian, Pakistani or other contingents of troops would mean seriously giving up some of the power held by the administration's little "in-group." It would require showing courtesy to other nations, which this administration finds so onerous. It would mean putting the American occupation under some United Nations official or mandate. Internationalization could be done only symbolically, but still it would diffuse the focused hatred of the United States in Iraq. These are the points made by our most cogent and experienced analysts (men such as military analyst Lawrence Korb, prominent diplomat Robert Oakley and military historian William Lind). At the same time, many stress that there has to be an at least symbolic housecleaning. Somebody has to be seen by the American public to pay for the disgraceful mistakes of the war and especially the occupation. The favorite name that comes up is that of the Pentagon's fanatic neo-con, Douglas Feith. Such a gesture would also have to be paralleled by some appropriate, if not humbling, acknowledgment by President Bush that he, too, made mistakes -- and that he is a big enough man to admit it and move to undo them. Then, many say, a "committee of wise men" should be formed who would directly advise the president, share with him the differing and experienced knowledge that he has not been receiving, and offer him some desperately needed new perspectives. These could be people like Marine Corps Gen. Anthony Zinni, scholars Zbigniew Brzezinski or Ivo Daalder, former Secretary of State James Baker III, and Sens. Chuck Hagel and Richard Lugar. In short, men and women who are not anti-Bush but who have shown the capacity to think openly -- and who have records of being right on policy questions. Would such advice be accepted by President Bush, much less by the Pentagon civilians and the neo-cons who hover all around him? One would suppose not. But on the other hand ... Consider George W. Bush's position. His support goes down by the day, and the macho refrain that "We will stay the course in Iraq, no matter what" is becoming a bad joke to many Americans watching the war play out. Instead of being in control, which he loves, he is every day more beholden to circumstances and events that he clearly cannot control. (There is also real evidence that some of his most confident war "planners" are jumping ship. One well-informed policy wonk from outside went to the Pentagon last week and found all the third-tier war lovers under the secretary walking around like zombies, unable to understand what they have wrought. Many of them are leaving their jobs, even as American troops and reservists in Iraq are seeing their service time repeatedly extended.) Enter Karl Rove. This cool-cat election planner never cared about Iraq, but he desperately cares about re-election. Sometime this winter, he's going to have to tell the president: "It's Iraq or the election." At this point, "We can't leave" becomes not a solution, a policy or an answer, but a mantra already out of step with reality -- and a threat to the Bush presidency. Finally, move to the question of time. Senior administration officials have been saying, in small but revealing outbursts both in Iraq and here, that the U.S. has a "window" of only three to six months to put down the resistance. Students of revolution and rebellion point out that 1) mistakes made in
