U.S. troops are deploying massive air and ground fire power against heavily populated residential areas in Baghdad as a prelude to the start of the campaign to retake the city they invaded nearly four years ago.
“The sky is burning,” one witness refusing to be named said of the aerial bombing of mainly Sunni-dominated districts of Haifa, Sheikh Omar and Alawi.
The latest military drive to retake Baghdad, home to nearly six million people, comes (…)

Bush’s "troop surge" is just a false tactic leading to WAR WITH IRAN.
The goal is, and has always been, control of all of the Middle East’s oil — not just to grab Iraq’s.
Personally, I see one thing clearly: An unprovoked nuclear attack on Iran by Israel or anyone else would mean that a STATE OF WAR exists between the state making the attack and THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. Nulear war is forever — it sets intolerable precedents worse than Hiroshima and makes large land masses uninhabitable (…)

“A stain on the character of the United States.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in speaking of the U.S. gulag at Guantanamo, Cuba
Washington, D.C. - If there is any one thing that reflects the utter evil that is the collective psyche of the Bush-Cheney Gang, it’s the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Gitmo). Torture and humiliation of detainees has been the norm there, as well as holding prisoners indefinitely without charges or trial. The U.S. Constitution is regularly shredded there and (…)

According to the Spiegel
http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausla... (in German) the Bush gang has ambushed the Iranian embassy in Arbil and has taken 6 Iranian diplomats into custody for interrogation (mean torture).
If the UN and the international comunity doesn’t act now, when will the do it?

Mr Bush is still behaving arrogantly, in spite of his loss in the last election. The new majority in congress and that of the American people are against increasing the troops in Iraq. However, Mr Bush is behaving like the losing gambler, who bids for higher money as he loses more.
The problem in Iraq has been initiated by the occupation, and then started to turn into civil war by the action of militias belonging to Abdulaziz Al-Hakim and muktada Al-Sader. The USA troops in Iraq did not (…)

Baghdad plunges into darkness
By Ali al-Mawsawi
Azzaman, January 10, 2007
There is no electricity in Baghdad and the city of nearly 6 million people spends its nights in total darkness.
The Ministry of Electricity says the total outage is the result of sabotage in which power lines feeding Baghdad were knocked out.
Nearly four years after the U.S. invasion, the country still has less electricity than under the former leader Saddam Hussein who was executed last month. (…)

The president ignores voters, world opinion and expands the war. Impeachment is clearly now a viable option.
We all saw the president on the tube last night. Well, those of us who give a damn saw him and heard his speech. For those misinformed and disinterested few, here’s a rough rundown of Mr. Bush’s new strategy for Iraq: Send 20,000 more troops into and around Baghdad Send another carrier strike group into the Persian Gulf Threaten the Maliki government Ostracize and isolate Iran and (…)

Protesters rally in front of the White House. About 40 protesters staged a noisy protest outside the White House demanding withdrawal of US troops from Iraq as President George W.

Bush Bull-Headed Warmonger
By Peter Fredson

Last night it was the old George W. Bush that we have come to know and despise. It was the obdurate, head-like-cement, aggressive, unrepentant Bush that loves to kill Muslims for his shrinking Dominionist and Reconstructionist Fundamentalist base. He still thinks that some God advised him to go head with killing rag-heads. And, to leave no one out, Barney and Laura still believe in him
Bush had a stroke of genius in his (…)

Authoritative statistics reveal huge child sexual abuse in America and horrendous avoidable infant deaths in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories. The connection between these two sets of phenomena is the psychopathy of power obsession. Thus we are told by psychiatric experts that rape is primarily about power - and racist imperialism is also about power.
Power-obsessed Amerikans are raping American children at an appalling level (1 in 4 adult American Women and 1 in 6 (…)
