09/11/2006 Venezuela's president continued his criticism of President Bush after the pro-Chávez legislature declared that the 9/11 attacks were 'self-inflicted.'
CARACAS - When Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chávez called President Bush ''the devil'' in a U.N. speech in September, many thought his ''anti-imperialist'' rhetoric had reached rock bottom. But fresh depths have since been plumbed. The Venezuelan government, to judge from recent events, officially regards Bush as a genocidal Nazi who arranged the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to justify aggression against other nations. In a speech Tuesday, Chávez criticized the decision of an Iraqi court to sentence former dictator Saddam Hussein to the death penalty. ''If sentencing is to be done,'' Chávez said, "the first one to be given the most severe sentence this planet has to offer should be the president of the United States, if we're talking about genocidal presidents.'' RESOLUTION ON 9/11 His comments, which were fairly typical of his recent attacks on Bush, came shortly after the publication of a resolution by Venezuela's legislative National Assembly describing the 9/11 attacks as ''self-inflicted'' and after an exhibition at the Foreign Ministry building in Caracas in which Bush was portrayed as a Nazi storm trooper. Comment: Go Hugo! Tell it like it is!

09/11/2006 The "serious, growing threat" of terrorism will be "with us for a generation", MI5's head has warned.
The "campaign" was "sustained... not a series of isolated incidents", Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller said in a speech to an audience of academics. MI5 knew of up to 30 alleged terror plots to kill and was watching about 200 networks or groups, she said. Comment: An interesting diatribe of nonsensical propaganda no doubt. Yet Manningham-Butler has never explained the many inconsistencies about the official version of the London Bombings, inconsistencies that are so glaring that they make a mockery of the official story and render it little more than an fairy tale. Rather than spreading dangerous hate-speech and propaganda about Muslims, Manningham Butler would do better to explain to us why she (as head of MI5) lied about the fact that MI5 agents had been watching the alleged London bombers for many months prior to 7/7.
She might also explain the finer details of how MI5 recruits and uses agents within Britain's Islamic community, purportedly to gather intelligence about potential "terrorist attacks", and explain how these agents often end up being accused of "terrorist" crimes. Some would say they had been set up by MI5 for the very purpose of creating the "reality" of Islamic terrorism that Manningham Butler claims is so real a threat. But we would like to hear a rebuttal of this charge from Manningham Butler herself. |

MOSCOW, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- If the United Nations Security Council passed the European-drawn resolution on Iran's nuclear issue without including Russia's amendments, Iran's relations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) would be affected, Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani warned here on Friday.

Thu Nov 9, 2006 NEW YORK - Vietnam veterans who sprayed the herbicides like Agent Orange decades ago in Vietnam are at an increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic breathing problems, a new study shows.
Agent Orange, a weed killer containing dioxin, was widely used during the Vietnam War, Dr. Han K. Kang of the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, DC and colleagues note in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine. Overall, two thirds of the herbicides used during the conflict contained dioxin. |

Edmonton Sun France successfully shot its new M51 submarine-launched ballistic missile
over the Atlantic Ocean yesterday in its first experimental test flight, the
Defence Ministry said.
The missile carried no nuclear weapon for the test flight, which was closely monitored by specialists at a test centre in Biscarosse, in southwest France, as well as by the Monge missile-tracking ship, ministry spokesman Jean-Francois Bureau said. The M51 is designed to replace the M45 submarine-launched ballistic missile, or SLBM. The M51 can carry six TN-75 thermonuclear warheads and has a range of up to 9,600 km. Defence Minister Michele Alliot-Marie "expressed her great satisfaction" at the success of the test, her ministry said |
