AFP Mar 07, 2006 Washington - US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld accused Iran Tuesday of sending Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces into Iraq, and warned Tehran it was "an error in judgement. They are currently putting people into Iraq to do things that are harmful to the future of Iraq, and we know it, and it is something that they will look back on as having been an error in judgement."
Pressed to elaborate, Rumsfeld said the Iranians were putting "Quds force-type people," or Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces, into Iraq. Comment: So, according to Rumsfeld, if there is civil war in Iraq, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the US occupation. It is because Saddam had a repressive regime and the Iranians are stoking the flames.
Trouble is, there will be people who believe, and a compliant media that does nothing to show what a pack of lies it is. Think of how outrageous these lies are. Yet the psychopath can lie like he breathes, as naturally as possible. Until people are willing to stand up for the truth and demand an end to the lies, until people's lives are affected more directly - that is, until their lives fall apart - nothing will change. Rummy, Cheney, and much of the rest of the Bush gang have a long history of inventing threats to further their imperialist goals. See the following article... |

13 Feb 06Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney are at it again.
Last week, Rumsfeld told the press we should be preparing for "the Long War," saying of the war this administration has stirred up with its attack on Iraq that, "Just as the Cold War lasted a long time, this war is something that is not going to go away."
The last time Rumsfeld talked like this was in the 1970s, in response to the danger of peace presented by Richard Nixon.

OpEdNews.com March 8, 2006 The Bush administration has unilaterally repealed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) by demanding that Iran cease all uranium enrichment. This action overturns the central principle of the treaty which provides states with the "inalienable right" (NPT phrase) to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Two years of intrusive inspections by the UN watchdog agency (IAEA) have never produced "any evidence of nuclear weapons programs" or any diversion of nuclear material. Nevertheless, the US insists that Iran be deprived of the same right that is afforded to every other signatory of the NPT.
What gives Washington the right to rescind an internationally-recognized treaty? |

03/07/06 "ICH" -- -- NEW YORK--On the first anniversary of the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge delivered a speech at the site of the disaster in western Pennsylvania. "Faced with the most frightening circumstances one could possibly imagine," he told grieving relatives of the passengers and crewmembers aboard the fourth plane hijacked on 9/11, "they met the challenge like citizen soldiers, like Americans." He recited the now-familiar story of passengers learning by phone about the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, deciding to fight back and breaking into the cockpit--a heroic act that led to their own deaths while sparing countless others in Washington.
Comment: And what if the reason Flight 93 was shot down was to cover up the fact that there were no "Arab terrorists" on the flight?
