The FIlm No End in Sight September 21, 2007	from joaquin2 Albany
The film No End in Sight pointed out the incompetence of the atrocity of the invasion and occupation of Iraq that manifested itself in three key ways: 1. There was only two months worth of pre-invasion planning carried out by the architects of the slaughter as opposed to the years of advanced planning undertaken by the Allies to rebuild Germany after the Second World War

2. Upon the Fall of Baghdad only the Ministry of Oil was guarded, allowing the infrastructure and cultural capital to be pillaged (Most notably Museums were looted, destroying thousands of years of cultural heritage, which amounts to a form of cultural cleansing).

Pakistan is the problem September 21, 2007	from joaquin2 Albany
Pakistan is the problem There is at present a drumbeat to bomb Iran back to a stone age. The pretext is that this country is part of an AXIS of EVIL that intends to build nuclear weapons.

It is true that it is likely that eventually after cultivating and using enriched Uranium for civilian purposes that Iran will in ten or fifteen years build missiles with which to bully and threaten the region and beyond but as of yet they do not have the ballistics technology to deliver such weapons in any way that would not devastate their own country, and will not for the foreseeable future unless the Chinese provide them with such logistical support. Pakistan however has nuclear weapons

George W. Bush is a war criminal part 2 September 14, 2007

from joaquin2 Albany

His ascendancy has been aided and abetted by a wave of anti-intellectualism (Christian Fundamentalism, for instance), mass apathy and consumer ignorance, and no less, the Corrupt Right Wing Mass Media. The media was so excited about this invasion and occupation that it spent all its time drumming up support for it when in fact the media should have been out investigating the fraudulent 2000 and 2004 elections and the various and sundry crimes committed by high-ranking members of this P

George W. Bush is a war criminal September 14, 2007

from joaquin2 Albany

George W. Bush is a despotic sociopath intent on starting the Third World War in accordance with Biblical prophecy. He is a maniacal zealot that believes that these are the end times and that his actions are the harbinger of TRIBULATIONS. He believes in a modern version of the Divine Right of Kings, behaving autocratically, heedless of the suffering of the world's people. He believes that no matter what atrocity he perpetrates, that he is going to a paradise. His ascendancy has been aided a

General Petraeus is a Liar... September 13, 2007	from joaquin2 Albany
The only true thing he said in the hearings recently was that there was no link between Saddam Hussein's brutish regime and the 9/11 attacks. Saddam Hussein wanted to stay in power and whereas he may have been courted by Bin Laden's sociopathic emmisaries there is no way he would have done something as stupid as participate in the 9/11 attacks.

International - Crimes against Humanity September 10, 2007

from SingleGuyInMozambique1   Maputo

Racism is widespread in International Politics. Why is it that Ian Smith (Zimbabwe), Magnus Malan (South Africa) and their cohorts are not brought to answer for their crimes and the atrocities they committed while defending their racist regimes? Has the International Community ever seriously taken stock of how many innocent people were killed, maimed and orphaned, not only in the Countries mentioned above but also in those neighbouring them? Is it because they are white?

mmmeat in denial June 26, 2007	from fzman   Philadelphia
Sorry, Meat. Every name "dropped" (????)is a proven Con Artist, complete with slight of hand, transparent lies, shameless manipulations. If you just read the papers once in a while, you may have SOME idea of what is going on in the world. Ask anyone around you for documentation of this. I take it you are a young teenager who just parrots what his right wing parents say.

Vote Vets is a fraud. June 21, 2007

from joaquin2 Albany

A monomaniacal American ex general believes that if we keep slaughtering Iraqis "The right way" then the war can be won. This general concedes several points: The intelligence was manipulated as a pretext fro war, Saddam had nothing to do with 911, and that there will never be a democracy in Iraq. The object is to install a dictator, perhaps more palatable for Saddam and then the oil can be pumped. Vote vets is more KILLING AND GENOCIDE. Its a fraud.
