I have finally had the time to sit down and listen to Scott's comments on the article Robert Baer wrote about the upcoming war against Iran. As Scott says, the article is full of nonsensical accusations about the Quds for in Iran making GI-killing EFP and the like which are based on just the same rumors, scratch this, the same Gordon produced propaganda as the rest of the War Party's lies. Scott is quite correct when is says that since the "Iranian nuclear weapons program" nonsense did not...

Even though the UN has changed its mind about Zionism and declared that, after all, it is not racist, Jimmy Carter's book "Peace not Apartheid" has spelled out what most Middle-East observers already knew: that Israel has imposed an Apartheid-like regime in the Occupied Territories. What is less well-known, but at least as important, is that Israel is also a racist state *inside* its official borders (although no such borders have ever been officially defined by Israeli officials).

by Gareth Porter Huffington Post George Bush's invocation of the "killing fields" in Cambodia to try to bolster his failing argument for an indefinite continuation of the Iraq occupation was a reference to the extreme right's decades-old rant that U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam caused the bloodbath in Pol Pot's Cambodia.

Yesterday and today.

source: Al Manar TV news (that's Hezbollah's TV station, in case you did not know) Senator Sanders of Vermont is backing a campaign to warn Americans that Fox News is using jingoistic programming to push the nation into a military attack on Iran. Mr. Sanders, a self-described socialist who caucuses with the Democrats, joined with a liberal filmmaker yesterday to denounce the popular cable channel for leading a drumbeat in favor of a military strike against Tehran. "The leader of that effort is...

by Rostam Pourzal (source: CASMII) Thursday, August 23, 2007 The Washington Post's editorials on foreign policy issues have almost always been confrontational towards whatever country the United States government considers too disobedient. Even the Post's Op-Ed page is less predictable and servile than its editorials.
