Bush Back at White House
Speech in Georgia Likely to Antagonize Russia
I shall not soon forget the look on the Russian leader's face as he watched George W. Bush cavort and grin his way through the Moscow trip: it spoke of a supremely adult forbearance, of a man whose inherent dignity and focus allowed him to rise above everyday trivialities and concentrate on a single objective. He looked, in short, like a man who was biding his time.
PANIC PANIC PANIC
The U.S. Capitol and White House were evacuated Wednesday and alarms rang through the buildings. War planes were seen flying overhead and security cars rushed away from the building. Reporters in the White House were told to move to a more secure location.
President Bush was not at the White House at the time. A guard in the West Wing of the White House shouted at reporters, "Go down into the basement." "Leave, run," security officers shouted to staff and reporters at the Capitol.

Searchers find blind, suicidal Iraq veteran alive
Screaming "Allahu Akbar" to the end, the foreign fighters lay on their backs in a narrow crawl space under a house and blasted their machine guns up through the concrete floor with bullets designed to penetrate tanks. They fired at U.S. Marines, driving back wave after wave as the Americans tried to retrieve a fallen comrade.
"The whole scene, it was just pure evil inside the house!"
"It was an all-out ambush." The insurgents' armor-piercing bullets were penetrating the house's interior and external walls and the outer walls of the compound.

Operation Matador: An Exercise in Futility
According to the United States, the resistance is comprised strictly of “former Ba’athists,” criminals, opportunists, and foreigners, such as the mythical al-Zarqawi. In fact, the resistance is, increasingly, comprised of average Iraqis, many of them aggrieved and outraged relatives of the dead (100,000 and counting) who are taking matters into their own hands and attempting to get rid of Bush and his soldiers. It only makes sense that the former Iraqi military (i.e., the Ba’athists) would play an important role in this effort. It is, of course, absurd to claim all the trouble for the U.S stems from Ba’athists and dead-enders. It is, as well, an avoidance of reality, one that will cost Bush dearly.

New US laser weapon tested for Iraq
Stranger Than Fiction
When Bob Woodward asked President Bush if he had consulted with his father about the decision to go to war in Iraq, the president famously replied, "There is a higher father that I appeal to." If President Bush had consulted with his father before launching this clownish, disastrous war, he might have gotten some advice that would have pointed him in a different direction and spared his country - and the families of the many thousands dead - a lot of grief.
Iraq Bombshell Goes Mostly Unreported in US Media
"Are Americans so jaded about the deceptions perpetrated by our own government to lead us into war in Iraq that we are no longer interested in fresh and damning evidence of those lies? Or are the editors and producers who oversee the American news industry simply too timid to report that proof on the evening broadcasts and front pages?"
A US soldier has revealed shocking new details of abuse and sexual torture of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay in the first high-profile whistleblowing account to emerge from inside the top-secret base.
Among the most shocking abuses Saar recalls is the use of sex in interrogation sessions. Some female interrogators stripped down to their underwear and rubbed themselves against their prisoners. Pornographic magazines and videos were also used as rewards for confessing.
In one session a female interrogator took off some of her clothes and smeared fake blood on a prisoner after telling him she was menstruating.

Violent Protests Erupt in Afghanistan
At least two people are killed in violent protests in several Afghan cities. The clashes were triggered by a Newsweek story citing allegations that U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, tried to intimidate prisoners by flushing a copy of the Quran down a toilet.
Afghans killed in anti-U.S. riots
An Afghan official in Jalalabad said the crowd also attacked U.S. Army vehicles, and U.S. soldiers fired into the air before leaving the area.

Anti-U.S. Riots Kill 4 In Afghanistan
U.S. troops fired into the air to try to disperse the hundreds of protesters who smashed windows and stoned a passing convoy of American soldiers in the city of Jalalabad, officials said. They said Afghan police also fired their weapons, and that seven officers are among the wounded. Military officials said U.S. troops were in the area but were ordered back to their camps. They had no information on whether any of them were caught up in the unrest.
Karzai describes anti-US protests as 'manifestation of democracy'
"It is not the anti-American sentiment. It is a protest over the news of the desecration of the Holy Quran in Guantanamo," Karzai told a press conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
Protesters shouted 'Death to America' slogans and attacked cars and shops.
Afghan police overwhelmed by protests - Karzai
Demonstrators on Tuesday had carried banners denouncing the United States and Karzai. But the U.S.-backed leader insisted the protest did not show that he had under-estimated hostility towards the United States and its troops in the country.
$82 billion spending bill for wars heads to Bush
...boosting the cost of the global effort since 2001 to more than $300,000,000,000.00
The American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq have ignited hopes among Washington's neoconservatives that the U.S., taking advantage of the post-Cold War unipolar moment and its dominant military power, will gradually transform into a global empire.
These neocons have already celebrated several such tipping points – the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad, the capture of the dictator and the killing of his sons, the "handover of sovereignty" to a provisional Iraqi government, the invasions and destruction of Fallujah, and finally, the parliamentary election on Jan. 30 in that country.

The war on paperclips
So while Chinese paperclips are now made out of vital 9/11 evidence and almost every implicated party goes free, we and our controlling US interests continue fearlessly to terrorise countries unconnected with the attacks, to place permanent military bases near oil reserves and pipeline routes, to harass and murder Muslims anywhere we can, and to foment terrorist resistance at every opportunity. The UK unmasks non-existent ricin plots and threatens us with ID cards, but we can't supply our troops in Iraq with working radios or a legal causus belli.
