The drumbeat for war against Iran has begun again, led by Sen. Joe Lieberman, the independent Democrat from Connecticut, and the usual pro-Israel crowd. Lieberman seems to be under the impression that the U.S. can bomb Iran and not get into a full-fledged war. Well, we know all about cakewalks and how they turn into long, bloody and dreary marches. We learned nothing from Vietnam, and apparently some of the people have learned nothing from Iraq, now a cakewalk war that has lasted longer than World War II, though not with the same intensity and mass. If the senator, who seems to be one of those who loves war as long as he doesn't have to fight it, really believes that we can attack ...

Coalition Forces in Iraq Find ID Cards of Two Missing Soldiers By Christopher Stern June 16 (Bloomberg) -- Coalition forces in Iraq have found identification cards belonging to two U.S. soldiers, who have been missing for more than a month, in a suspected al-Qaeda safe house near Samarra. Identity cards belonging to Specialist Alex Jimenez and Private Byron Fouty were uncovered in the house on June 9 along with other items including computers and video production equipment, the U.S. military said in a statement e-mailed today from Tikrit. The two soldiers have been missing since May 12 after an attack on their patrol.

Adam had a bumpy night Thursday night; one of his wound packs broke and they had to move him around a bunch to get it taken care of. He was suppose to have surgery on his right leg today but we had somewhat of setback Friday afternoon. Adam had a seizure and its not clear the cause. They did a CT scan of his head and did not see any problems. The best "guess" at the moment is that it is due to a certain medicine or a combination of medicine. They have started him on an anti-seizure medicine to try to prevent another occurrence. Adam is still not really talking (before or after the seizure) and the doctors or a bit concerned about it but not overly so. It could be several ...

Will Sudan be Re-Colonized? By Stephen Gowans Global Research, June 15, 2007 http://gowans.wordpress.com/ The United States is maneuvering to introduce a UN peacekeeping force into Darfur, as a first step to securing control of the region’s vast supply of oil. US control of Darfur’s petroleum resources would deliver highly profitable investment opportunities to US firms, and scuttle China’s investment in the region, thereby slowing the rise of a strategic competitor whose continued industrial growth depends on secure access to foreign oil. Washington is using highly exaggerated charges of genocide as a justification for a UN intervention it would dominate, while at the ...

Venezuela: US fears spread of Chavez example By Federico Fuentes Global Research, June 15, 2007 Green Left Weekly, issue No 713 - 2007-06-13 Under the banner of “For freedom of speech and against imperialism”, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas on June 2 in defence of their revolution, and as a direct response to the domestic and international campaign being whipped up by Washington in the wake of the non-renewal of Radio Caracas TV’s (RCTV) broadcasting concession, dwarfing all of the opposition marches that had occurred in preceding days. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced: “If the Venezuelan oligarchy believe that they will ...
The Conservative Case Against Ron Paul

Even though he's not one of the top tier contenders, I thought it might be worthwhile to go ahead and write a short, but sweet primer that will explain why so many Republicans have a big problem with Ron Paul. Enjoy! #1) Ron Paul is a libertarian, not a conservative: I have nothing against libertarians. To the contrary, I like them and welcome them into the Republican Party. But, conservatives have even less interest in seeing a libertarian as the GOP's standard bearer than seeing a moderate as our party's nominee. In Paul's case, his voting record shows that he is the least conservative member of Congress running for President on the GOP side. So, although he is a small ...
GOP Would be Wise to Back Ron Paul

GOP Would be Wise to Back Ron Paul by David Ferraro Page 1 of 1 page(s) http://www.opednews.com After three Republican debates there is one thing that is abundantly clear. None of these men, with one exception, have much of a chance in the general election. That exception is surprisingly the little known Texas Congressman Ron Paul. The fact is that the war in Iraq is the biggest issue of the 2008 election and that 70% of the American people want to see it come to an end. If the GOP decides to go the Rudy McRomney route, a trio that refuses to hold President Bush accountable for the mistakes of the past year, the result will undoubtedly be a Democratic win whether it is Hillary Clinton ...

Of Crazies, Neocons and the Enemy Within by Manuel Valenzuela Beginnings An all too familiar and ominous echo is reverberating through the American landscape, once more blasted into the airwaves, and our minds, through the Ministry of Propaganda and its merry bunch of sycophants and stenographers. For yet another consecutive year since three monolithic towers were demolished, imploded and systemically brought down onto their own footprints in a catalyzing event unleashing a new American century, Americans are hearing the fiery rhetoric of imminent danger, a cocktail of fear, terror and warmongering fed our enemy-addicted culture, aimed both at stirring conflict with Iran and conditioning ...
The threat to al-Jazeera

It would be a disaster for the Middle East if the US neutered the region's most independent TV station Since its launch just over a decade ago, the al-Jazeera satellite TV station has transformed the politics of the Middle East. For the first time, people in the region had access to a genuinely free and independent source of news and comment that was neither under the control of dictatorial regimes nor western states or corporations. Under its slogan of "The opinion ... and the other opinion", al-Jazeera gave an Arab world hungry for information and debate the means to talk to itself and shape its future. It spawned imitators across the region and has launched an English ...

Colbert 'confused' by Republican candidate Ron Paul David Edwards and Muriel Kane Published: Thursday June 14, 2007 Print This Email This On Wednesday, Stephen Colbert welcomed Ron Paul to The Colbert Report, saying, "With my help, he could become the Republican Mike Gravel." "I'm not sure how to feel about you," Colbert told Paul, "but I'm passionately ambivalent. You voted against the Patriot Act, you voted again the Iraq War. But you also hate taxes and you hate gun control. You are an enigma wrapped in a riddle nestled in a sesame seed bun of mystery. Are you a Republican or are you not a Republican?" "You're confused, because ...
The Selfish Egg

The Selfish Egg In writing his popular book The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins made several important mistakes which, in view of the attention which his book has drawn, deserve to be corrected. To begin, Dawkins' book is based on one Big Idea which, in only slightly different form, has been around for years, and yet Dawkins did not credit its author -- a sin which may possibly be mitigated by the fact -- if it is a fact -- that he did not recognize he was using someone else's work. The Big Idea in question is the one usually expressed as 'The chicken is just the egg's way of making another egg,' an idea which in Dawkins' variant is, 'An animal is just the ...

Ron Paul's isolationism is a foreign concept By: Michael Brendan Dougherty Jun 13, 2007 06:21 PM EST Ron Paul is causing a minor ruckus on the right. The Texas congressman's opposition to the Iraq war (and most other wars, too) puts him in stark contrast with the other nine Republican presidential candidates onstage at recent debates. While the "Rudy McRomneys" spend their debate time rallying support for Operation Iraqi Freedom and rattling sabers at Iran, Paul says that the most important moral issue facing our nation is its embrace of the Bush doctrine advocating preventative war. His seemingly unorthodox positions have made him a sensation in online polls. He has ...

Where Isnt Ron Paul Author: Michael Kraft Published: June 14, 2007 http://Freemarketnews.com gives us this great story on the censorship of Ron Paul. Almost every independent media outlet and cultural outlet has 5 times the Ron Paul related traffic and conversation than it does for Rudy Giuliani. I can verify this personally with the thousands of visitors to this site daily Ron Paul is nearly double that of all other traffic topics. The people and the web are fascinated by Ron Paul and my stats prove that to me. I dont mean this to be an endorsement, though I do support the man, but this is a fact that is strangely evident on the web as opposed to hidden on other media sources. Another ...

6/12/2007 - Tuesday Adam had surgery today as planned to check the wounds/vacuum packs; no dead tissue was found and packs were resealed. Following the surgery Adam was successfully taken off the ventilator and as of 10PM tonight he was still breathing on his own. His voice is very hoarse and though things are still hazy for him, he was able to answer some questions with single word responses when asked. No surgeries are planned for tomorrow so hopefully he will remain off the ventilator the entire day Wednesday. Thursday they plan on re-checking the wounds/vacuum packs; they also are tentatively planning to do some ortho-work on the right leg. The left leg (operated on yesterday) was ...

What Makes a Nation: The Case of Japan Steven Howell, American Renaissance, Sept. 1991 Let us be honest: The Japanese have left us behind. Americans are bad losers and prefer not to admit it, but in nearly every way, Japan puts us to shame. Whether it is crime rates, literacy, GNP growth, investment rates, life expectancy, or even the yearly number of patents per capita, Japan is well ahead of us and of nearly everyone else. Unlike the United States, which is worried about the future, always slipping behind and cutting back, Japan is optimistic. Only 45 years after B-29s nearly destroyed it, Japan is bursting with energy—investing, building, expanding, ready for the future. Before ...

I hope he's not American ... he is a Jew. Sat Feb 19, 2005 07:18 69.6.136.136 The Bush Sanhedrin of neo-zionazis just keeps expanding the murdering jewish influence in D.C. while imposing a fascist police State on the American people based upon the fear instilled on 9-11. The buildings were owned by another Jew named Larry Silverstein who has been recorded during a TV interview admitting the demolition of building 7, that fell just like WTC 1 and WTC 2. The traitorous Bush Administration is responsible for 9-11, have continually lied to Americans, distorted the facts, and waged war on defenseless countries, thus far Afghanistan and Iraq. The poppy fields are yielding their poison at ...

Remember when Bush told us he doesn't drink alcohol anymore? Well, he lied. Here's our traitor and chief expounding on some meaningless bit of wisdom, i.e. repeating what a Jew told him the day before. Watch the Jews media scramble to diffuse the implications related to these photos, they'll say it was non-alcoholic beer etc... The fact is, if our President is ridiculous enough to drink non-alcoholic beer and get photographed doing so, he's an idiot. Bush is probably snorting cocaine too, what else can explain his delusional thought processes resulting in treasonous actions? Only someone drunk, stoned or compromised by homosexual photographs in the hands of the ...
How Is Guantanamo Different From Nazi Detention Camps?

The current radical administration in the US is being humiliated day after day. It is stubbornly insisting on creating dark pages in history that would need thousands of years to be fixed and overcome. It seems as if America eliminated the old threat from countries like China, under Mao, and the Soviet Union, only to find itself mired in a worse situation than these countries. It has now surpassed them with its detention camps and torture that allow the US to accomplish what it wants by extracting confessions forcefully and brutally. The US military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba is one of these dark pages that have been created by this administration. Americans want to ...

Ambassador to Death Squads Who is John Negroponte? By GHALI HASSAN The White House has appointed Mr. John Dimitris Negroponte to be United States ambassador to Iraq. He will preside over the largest embassy in the world, and housed in the Republic Palace (misleadingly named Saddam's Palace by the U.S. occupation). He will be protected by high concrete walls, barbed wires and more than 150,000 occupation force, including several thousands of foreign mercenaries armed to the teeth with the most violent tools. Mr. Negroponte is Greek-American diplomat. He is currently leading the diplomatic war against the people of Iraq as the U.S. envoy at the United Nations (UN) in New York. ...
The GOP's Fading Populism

These are tough times to be a Republican. An unpopular president, an unpopular war and a trio of ideologically impure 2008 front-runners have left the party in a funk. And running through it all is one debilitating weakness: The GOP no longer has a unifying populist cause. Since World War II, perhaps the Republican Party's greatest political achievement has been to marry conservatism -- once considered a patrician creed -- with anti-elitism. The synthesis began with Joseph McCarthy, who used conspiratorial anti-communism to attack America's East Coast, Ivy League-dominated foreign policy class. It grew under Richard Nixon, who exploited white working-class resentment against ...
Top Ten Reasons why I will not vote for Ron Paul [Full Thread]

1) He's a "truther" by association - He panders and plays to that group of people who believe the events of Sep 11, were an "inside job" without going so far as to say "Fire won't melt steel!" 2) He's called for a Mcarthiesque reopening of the 9/11 Commission, basing it this time on popular opinion, conspiracy theory, and politics rather than fact. - This one goes hand in hand with item 1. 3) He's selling the "We aren't hated because of our freedoms, we are hated because of our Middle Eastern Policies" without ever acknowledging that our polices there are in direct response to the past and current policies of nation states in the ...

If you like bi-partisan compromise and “progress” in the form of more legislation, you’re going to love this… Since pretty much every member of congress seems convinced that simple enforcement of the existing immigration laws (that they passed) won’t work, and that rights for illegal aliens is a higher priority than the rights of legal law abiding Americans, some form of amnesty is bound to pass sooner or later. Despite Washington’s marathon effort to screw the American citizen, the Wall Street Journal reports, “By a vote of 33-63, the Senate fell far short of the 60 votes that would have been needed to limit debate on the immigration measure and put it ...
