Bob Barr: We Rush To War In Iran At Our Own Peril

Central at the headquarters of the Weekly Standard to the halls of the Pentagon — is growing in intensity just as it did five years ago in the months leading to the invasion of Iraq. This time, however, the target over which the war hawks are sharpening their spears is not a relatively small and ill-prepared country in the Middle East, but a country larger in land mass than the state of Alaska and with a population nearly four times as large as Iraq's. Despite the fact that many Americans would probably confuse Iraq with Iran on a map, lumping both together as "Arab" countries, the two countries are more dissimilar than alike. For starters, only about 3 percent of ...
The Iraq Occupation and the Coming War Against Iran: Political Wickedness and Moral Bankruptcy

"Justice is as strictly due between neighbor nations as between neighbor citizens. A highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang as when single; and a nation that makes an unjust war is only a great gang." Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) [Iran will react to a bombing attack by the Bush-Cheney administration] “by intensifying the conflict in Iraq and also in Afghanistan, their neighbors, and that could draw in Pakistan. We will be stuck in a regional war for twenty years.” Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national-security adviser to President Jimmy Carter "Israel made a large contribution to the decision to embark on this war. I know that on the eve of the ...
CNBC Republican Debate: Frontrunners Need to Make Room for Thompson and Paul

Tuesday’s CNBC’S Republican debate in Michigan will be another test for the candidates but also for the major media company holding the debate. To date every televised debate has not afforded equal time to each of the candidates attending and to some extent has almost gone to the point of censoring some candidates. The result has been a disservice to voters that want to hear what each candidate has to say. Hopefully CNBC will break the pattern Tuesday afternoon. The debate will focus mainly on domestic issues of taxes, healthcare, immigration and the economy. Fred Thompson will be appearing in his first debate after what may have been a less than stellar fund raising quarter ...

We are searching for the reason so many of today's women are so crazy. While I have received encouragement (mostly anonymous) in this observation from men, I realize that some of my women readers, like my wife (the Love Priestess) especially my wife may disdainfully reject it because of my gender, so let's look at what a sane woman says. In the last couple of years, I have noticed an electrifying development. The Internet is teeming with brilliant women. These ladies seem to be much smarter and I am embarrassed to add much braver than most men. They write devastating articles exposing the machinations of the conspiracy for world government. El presidente ...
Corporate Christianity

I have written many times about the fact that corporate Christianity worships Communist world government traitor Jorge W. Boosh, our first “Latino” President. If corporate Christianity gets any hint that you do not, it is quite likely to call down the fires of Lenin upon you. You could even wind up out on the street. I do not exaggerate. In some of these celebrity churches, el presidente’s name is spoken almost as reverently as the name of Jesus, and emerods be upon you if you say something else. Which recalls the fact that in Nazi Germany some high church leaders actually wore Nazi uniforms and heiled each other in the name of Hitler at high church meetings. What do I mean ...

Imagine finding out that "someone has a contract
out on you." (In America and probably much of the civilized world,
that's a common expression that an assassin has been hired to cancel
your breathing ability.)
So what would you do? Run away? Where could you hide?
Logically it comes down to either fighting for your life or losing it.
The sad truth is that there IS a contract out on your life. And it's big
brother (Uncle) who signed the contract. Think the word "Peon"
is archaic and describes a ...

There are pockets of people, and the shadow people you meet along life's way, who are baffled and confused as to why people today (family members - neighbors - local politicians, etc) seem so disinterested, apathetic or downright complacent concerning world affairs. Many today cannot name the branches of government, discuss the workings of our monetary system (Federal Reserve), the labor movement, the robber barons, the reasons for the various wars (throughout history), the civil rights era, the Constitution, nor the details of the various trade agreements (not discussed or debated in Congress) and how these agreements, are systematically bringing about the ruination of our country and ...

BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON ANOTHER TAXICAB CONFESSION (REDUX) By: Norman Liebmann The nation endures a continuity of Clintons and Bushes with no relief in sight. After Bill came George and now we are threatened with Hillary - a calamity followed by a lobotomy followed by an atrocity. Inside Hillary Clinton’s breast is an extraterrestrial alien so vicious it makes the one hosted by Ellen Ripley seem like a cocker spaniel. Neither surgery nor cathartic is able to purge the Clintons from the body politic. The Clintons continue to exercise their unique and irresistible charisma - Bill’s smile that turns wine into vinegar, and Hillary’s smile that turns vinegar into vomit. Sir ...

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." -- George Orwell Even the self-chosen media are now admitting that Israel deliberately attacked the U.S.S. Liberty, fully aware that it was an American ship. On 2 October the Chicago Tribune reported on the matter in a 7 page article, and 2 days later the Israeli Ha'aretz picked up on the theme. What appears to be part of an ongoing power struggle between the U.S. Empire Builders and the Israel First faction of the Anglo-Judean Axis of Greed, wouldn't have been possible without the Net. Not unlike the massive criticism of the pro-Israel lobby - expressed in thousands of articles published on ...

An impressive group of foreign policy experts from past Republican Administrations is endorsing John McCain for President. They explain at NRO: Notwithstanding these challenges, however, there is scope for advancing prosperity for all through the careful exploitation of science and human creativity under enlightened leadership. Whether our country is capable of orchestrating our pursuit of such a course depends fundamentally on who leads us in the years ahead. Never before has there been such a premium on experience and proven leadership. For that reason and in sober consideration of what in our judgment it takes to govern the United States: the ability to parse problems correctly, to ...
Helen Thomas: The Democrats who enable Bush

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has no better friends than the spineless Democratic congressional leadership and the party's leading presidential candidates when it comes to his failing Iraq policy. Those Democrats seem to have forgotten that the American people want U.S. troops out of Iraq, especially since Bush still cannot give a credible reason for attacking Iraq after nearly five years of war. Last week at a debate in Hanover, N.H., the leading Democratic presidential candidates sang from the same songbook: Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York, and Barack Obama of Illinois and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards refused to promise to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by 2013, at the ...

Archbishop: Iraq far worse than acknowledged Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent October 5, 2007 The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has launched a renewed attack on the war in Iraq and called for "urgent attention" to stabilise the country. Dr Williams, speaking after a visit to Syria last week, said the "terrible damage" wreaked on the region by the war in Iraq was far worse than had so far been acknowledged. Dr Williams' comments, in an interview with the BBC, came after he met Iraqi refugees in Syria, many of them still in fear for their lives. Only last month, a new survey claimed that up to 1.2m people might have died because of the conflict. ...

Are Presidents Entitled to Kill Foreigners?

What is the common term for ordering soldiers to kill vast numbers of innocent people? A war crime. But not when it is done on the command of the U.S. president. Killing innocent foreigners seems to be a perk of the modern presidency — akin to the band’s playing “Hail to the Chief” when he enters the room. Bush is revving up the war threats against Iran. Seymour Hersh reported in the current issue of the New Yorker that the administration is advancing plans to bomb many targets in Iran. British newspapers have confirmed that the Pentagon has a list of thousands of bombing targets. Hardly anyone claims that Iran poses a threat to the United States. Yet few people in ...

Did Russia Stage the Father of All Bombs Hoax? By David Axe Email By Daria Solovieva Email 10.04.07 | 12:00 AM A Russian video implies that a Tu-160 long-range bomber dropped the FOAB test munition, but the bomb and bomber never appear in the same shot. Image: Channel One "All that is alive merely evaporates." That's how a Russian official described the effects of what is reportedly the world's most powerful non-nuclear bomb, tested on Sept. 11. A video released by state media shows a Tupolev 160 bomber, a bomb falling as a parachute unfurls and a huge fireball. The Russians call the device the "Father of All Bombs," an homage to the American GBU-43 ...

"I hate all Iranians." Britsh MPs visiting the Pentagon to discuss America's stance on Iran and Iraq were shocked to be told by one of President Bush's senior women officials: "I hate all Iranians." And she also accused Britain of "dismantling" the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq by pulling troops out of Basra too soon. The all-party group of MPs say Debra Cagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs to Defence Secretary Robert Gates, made the comments this month.

Who Wants To Bomb Iran? Democrats, Not Republicans, Says Seymour Hersh Posted October 4, 2007 | 06:36 PM (EST) The following piece is part of an ongoing series of OffTheBus reports by citizen policy experts critiquing different aspects of Campaign 08. When George Bush and Dick Cheney talk about their plans to bomb Iran, they are told "You can't do it, because every Republican is going to be defeated"--that's what a Republican former intelligence official told legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. "But," the former official went on, "Cheney doesn't give a rat's ass about the Republican worries, and neither does the President." I ...

Harvard law school expels star student for “holocaust denial”
CAMBRIDGE, Mass (AP) What began as a minor citation in a scholarly work ended up causing Noor Aljiem to be expelled from Harvard Law School. Aljiem, a third-year student majoring in criminal law, submitted a paper that examined Nazi travesties of criminal law, and received an ‘A’ grade. She was set to graduate Summa Cum Laude at the end of this semester, but the university law school was forced to reconsider her status when criminal law professor Alan Dershowitz criticized Njiem’s scholarship.
“She could have used any number of sources for her paper,” Dershowitz’ explained, “but for some reason, one of her ...

Nationalism is perhaps the most interesting delusion of modern times. Its power is illustrated by the fact that lots of otherwise sensible people are unapologetic nationalists, even though nationalism requires its adherents to subscribe to various bizarre beliefs. For example, the nationalist believes that while other nations act invariably on the basis of self-interest, his country is historically unique, in that it makes great sacrifices for the good of others. This thesis has been put forth with complete seriousness by many a well-credentialed supporter of the Iraq war, such as the historian Francis Fukuyama, who argues that the invasion of that country represented a kind of ...

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran is no one to admire, but when was the last time President Bush stood before a critical college audience and fielded tough questions? Bush appears only before handpicked friendly crowds. Even news conferences are barely adversarial because the media has the curious rule that the president -- any president -- deserves to be treated like royalty. For all his weird statements about freedom, women, and homosexuals in Iran, not to mention his views on the Nazi treatment of Jews, at least Ahmadinejad took on all comers. He even accepted his host's insults with equanimity. That people panicked about his appearance at the forum only made him look ...
"Single-Payer" Health Care Is Anything But Free

Michael Moore's latest movie "SiCKO" sings the praises of the Canadian "single-payer" socialized medical system. Some Americans want a similar system implemented in the United States. Defenders of the Canadian system frequently claim that patients don't have to worry about money when they're sick--the health care is free. But is this really true? No. First, it is ludicrous to think the system is free. Each citizen is forced to pay for his neighbors' medical care in the form of high taxes. (As a percentage of GDP, total taxation is 28 percent higher in Canada than in the United States.) The government, rather than individuals, then decides how that money ...

"Amerika Uber Alles" -- Our Nazi Nation By Captain Eric H. May - Military Correspondent October 01, 2007 Peter Guenther's Prologue The most persuasive anti-Nazi I ever knew was my mentor, Dr. Peter W. Guenther, who believed that Nazism was monstrous at every level. As a professor of humanities, he thought it was both inhumane and inhuman. As a professor of art history he thought its aesthetics were artless histrionics. He readily granted that his intellectual opinions were molded by his personal experiences. As a German veteran of World War II, he regretted the loss of his youth, the waste of his friends' lives and the devastation that they had inflicted on others. He ...
Defense, Ted-Style(hate crime leg. attached to defense spending bill)

Knowing that President Bush would veto it as a stand-alone bill, Sen. Kennedy attached to the recently passed bill authorizing $150 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan an amendment he calls the Mathew Shepard Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007. The House version of the hate crimes act, passed May 3, drew the threat of a presidential veto. But Kennedy placed his hope on the fact that a "president of the United States has never vetoed, in the history of the United States, a defense authorization bill." Well, there's always a first time. So what does a hate crimes bill have to do with a bill to fight the war on terror? Kennedy explains: "The defense ...

All good things come to an end, and some bad ones, or at least go into hibernation for a bit. Fred on Everything is going to take a month off and ponder, and perhaps come back refreshed. Or perhaps not. The reason is simple, boring old burnout, familiar to any writer who has had to write the same thing for too long. FOE has been around for seven years now. It’s tired of me, and I’m tired of it. Enough is too much. We need a break. Maybe counseling. More than burnout is involved. People write columns in the (faint) hope of changing things. No, a web site will not alter the majestic course of the planets in their orbits. It was once possible, however, to believe that enough people ...
