War Dictatorship
"The US attacked Iraq. The US dictated this war to the whole world. They showed they considered nothing but their national security and their national interests.. This war dictatorship is the dictatorship of arbitrariness and unpredictability.. The ambivalence has a method. Washington wants to be incalculable. This is the new foundation of deterrence..The main lie is that the country is threatened from the outside.."

Gospel According to Bush
There were and are countless conservative talk show hosts acting like huge bellows pumping hot air onto the flaming wreck of the Clinton presidency. No remark, no split hair, no intended action went unchallenged by the piranhas who smelled Clinton's blood amid the foul excrement afloat in the political septic tank. What greater proof is there of the existence of an ultra conservative right wing media blitz than this? Countless millions of tax payer dollars went down the tubes (septic tank) in an effort to bring to light every detail of Clinton's sordid sex life. Yet Bush can make war on the entire world, invade any sovereign country he feels like, kill thousands of innocent people, spit upon the constitution and shred the bill of rights and in the process turn the entire planet against us. Amazingly, there is nary a word of dissent spoke of it in the corporate media. How peculiar but typically American, in the land of OZ. Aside from other fascist states, this odd behavior occurs nowhere else on earth. The American media is so under the control of those in power that it has utterly abandoned its obligation to the people; it is essentially as fraudulently propagandistic as any state owned newspaper in the world's most oppressive self appointed regimes. What is most amazing about this weird behavior is that Bush is getting away with it; and calling himself a Christian in the process!

Liberia's Taylor Says U.S. Backs His Enemies
President Charles Taylor, in an interview, accused the United States today of supporting his rebel enemies and pressed Washington to prove its commitment to Liberia by sending peacekeepers. He also added a surprising coda to his promise to step down, calling his exile a brief "cooling-off period" before a return to Liberian politics.
"My regret is that they never understood me, they never gave me a chance," he said of the Americans. "I'm at a loss. I harbor no anger. I harbor no animosity. I want to work with my people and hope the United States sees me in a different light."

Homemade bomb kills U.S. soldier in Iraq
A U.S. patrol in north Baghdad was hit by a homemade bomb early Monday, taking the life of a soldier in the 1st Armored Division.
In Khadamiya on Monday, plenty of people said more violence would follow if the Americans didn't leave. A civil affairs soldier was shot in the neighborhood June 27 while shopping for DVDs. "We will fight. We will kill them," said Abdul Sada, a Shiite bus driver, who pantomimed chopping off a head. "Our customs don't allow strangers to move around our area." Standing next to Sada, Jafar Ismail said anti-American sentiment was widespread. "It is not Sunni. It is not Shiite. All of Iraq hates the American troops," he said. "If the American soldiers stop near our mosques, they will be shot."

U.S. Falling Into Bin Laden's Trap
Faced by the growing messes in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush administration is trying to emulate its role model, the late, unlamented British Empire, by hiring mercenaries to do the dirty work in Iraq. Washington is offering billions to India and Pakistan to send 15,000 troops each to pacify Iraq's unruly natives. Other nations like Poland, Italy and Bulgaria are being pressured or bribed to send token forces to help pull Bush's chestnuts out of the fire in Iraq. Canada has been browbeaten into sending troops to increasingly dangerous Afghanistan where they have no useful mission other than protecting the widely detested regime of U.S.-installed puppet ruler, Hamid Karzai.

US Occupation troop morale in Iraq hits 'rock bottom'
Some frustrated troops stationed in Iraq are writing letters to representatives in Congress to request their units be repatriated....The open-ended deployments in Iraq are lowering morale among some ground troops, who say constantly shifting time tables are reducing confidence in their leadership. "The way we have been treated and the continuous lies told to our families back home has devastated us all," a soldier in Iraq wrote in a letter to Congress.

Hands off Iran, let people decide. A demonstration in support of Democracy in Iran
A week of demonstrations in Iran by students expressing the people's desire for freedom and democracy ended with another crack down on dissidents. According to official reports more than 4000 people were arrested and are in custody. These protests looked a lot like those that occurred four years ago. Then students for the first time staged demonstrations in the streets of Tehran in support of the reform movement and freedom of the press, which was under attack by the theocratic regime's hard-line judiciary.

How 'liberation' has brought anarchy to Kabul, and history repeated in Baghdad
Afghanistan was "liberated" by Mr Straw's government and that of George Bush. And now it's in a state of anarchy. Then Iraq was "liberated" by Mr Straw's government and that of George Bush. And now it too is in a state of anarchy and increasing guerrilla insurrection. What on earth did Mr Straw learn in Kandahar?
Yet the one demand almost all Afghans make - that international troops should be deployed in other cities, not just in Kabul, and hoover up the millions of rifles and rocket-propelled grenades - is denied them by the United States (and, of course, therefore by Britain). Why? The Americans are keen to confiscate weapons in Iraq. Why not in Afghanistan as well?

Patriotic incendiary devices: Toxic for health, manufactured in sweatshops
 Thinking about going down to the River to watch the fireworks tonight? Think again. Turns out those beautiful showers of colorful sparks can be carrying any of the following chemicals: potassium nitrate, barium chlorate, arsenic, strontium nitrate, potassium perchlorate, copper oxide, sodium bicarbonate, carbon, sulphur, perchlorate, aluminium powder... Thinking about buying a load of aerials, spinners, fountains, roman candles, and lady fingers and setting them off in your driveway? Think again. The number one manufacturer of firecrackers in the world is China; incendiary devices are produced in dangerous sweatshops there, often by children...

No remark, no split hair, no intended action went unchallenged by the piranhas who smelled Clinton's blood amid the foul excrement afloat in the political septic tank. What greater proof is there of the existence of an ultra conservative right wing media blitz than this? Countless millions of tax payer dollars went down the tubes (septic tank) in an effort to bring to light every detail of Clinton's sordid sex life. Yet Bush can make war on the entire world, invade any sovereign country he feels like, kill thousands of innocent people, spit upon the constitution and shred the bill of rights and in the process turn the entire planet against us. Amazingly, there is nary a word of dissent spoke of it in the corporate media. How peculiar but typically American, in the land of OZ. Aside from other fascist states, this odd behavior occurs nowhere else on earth. The American media is so under the control of those in power that it has utterly abandoned its obligation to the people; it is essentially as fraudulently propagandistic as any state owned newspaper in the world's most oppressive self appointed regimes. What is most amazing about this weird behavior is that Bush is getting away with it; and calling himself a Christian in the process!
The broad mass of a nation . . . will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.
President Charles Taylor, in an interview, accused the United States today of supporting his rebel enemies and pressed Washington to prove its commitment to Liberia by sending peacekeepers. He also added a surprising coda to his promise to step down, calling his exile a brief "cooling-off period" before a return to Liberian politics.
GUESS WHAT: You Already Do! Each year, millions of your tax dollars are being used for the training of Latin American soldiers at the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, GA. The training provided at the SOA contributes to attrocities and human rights abuses.
Faced by the growing messes in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush administration is trying to emulate its role model, the late, unlamented British Empire, by hiring mercenaries to do the dirty work in Iraq. Washington is offering billions to India and Pakistan to send 15,000 troops each to pacify Iraq's unruly natives. Other nations like Poland, Italy and Bulgaria are being pressured or bribed to send token forces to help pull Bush's chestnuts out of the fire in Iraq. Canada has been browbeaten into sending troops to increasingly dangerous Afghanistan where they have no useful mission other than protecting the widely detested regime of U.S.-installed puppet ruler, Hamid Karzai.
A week of demonstrations in Iran by students expressing the people's desire for freedom and democracy ended with another crack down on dissidents. According to official reports more than 4000 people were arrested and are in custody. These protests looked a lot like those that occurred four years ago. Then students for the first time staged demonstrations in the streets of Tehran in support of the reform movement and freedom of the press, which was under attack by the theocratic regime's hard-line judiciary.
"The realization has finally taken root in this country that Iraq is a problem, that it will end up with a fair number of U.S. casualties and there is no exit strategy," says Doug Bandow, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute research foundation.
"It is really wild driving around here," Schwarzenegger said. "I mean the poverty, and you see there is no money, it is disastrous financially and there is the leadership vacuum, pretty much like in California right now."
Mr Fleischer gave his support to Mr Campbell, telling BBC News: "[There] are good people who do the right things for the right reasons.
