Syracuse, New York - Speaking before students and faculty at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University on Thursday November 17, 05, the Director of Public Diplomacy for Middle Eastern and MEPI Affairs at USAID the Honorable Walid Maalouf reflected the latest attitude of the US government towards Syria by publicly demanding regime change in Syriaan unprecedented demand by any US official.
Comment: We find it strange that members of the Bush administration appear to have no problem with urging the U.S. military to continue the spread of "Democracy and freedom" to other Middle Eastern countries. Have these people looked at the state of Iraq recently? 100,000 civilians dead and the country teetering on the brink of a manufactured civil war, yet rather than condemning such carnage, members of the Bush administration seem to believe that other Middle Eastern people's need to benefit from the wonders of American Democracy.
As we have said before, as time passes, the idea that we live in a world gone mad seems less and less like a joke and more and more like a cold, hard fact.

BEIJING, China -- After fiercely defending his Iraq policy across Asia, President Bush abruptly toned down his attack on war critics Sunday and said there was nothing unpatriotic about opposing his strategy.
"People should feel comfortable about expressing their opinions about Iraq," Bush said, three days after agreeing with Vice President Dick Cheney that the critics were "reprehensible."
"People should feel comfortable about expressing their opinions about Iraq," Bush said, three days after agreeing with Vice President Dick Cheney that the critics were "reprehensible."
Comment: Bush is certainly not used to allowing his critics to disagree with him. His sudden "soft tone" speaks volumes about his popularity at the moment.

Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that "Al Qaeda" is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Courtesy of World Affairs, a journal based in New Delhi, WMR can bring you an important excerpt from an Apr.-Jun. 2004 article by Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence.

An example of pre-war intelligence on Iraq
Comment: Comment: "Honestly, we didn't know we were being lied to! We had no idea that the Bush administration's refusal to show us any evidence of their claims about Iraq might mean that they didn't actually have any evidence!"

WASHINGTON - CIA agents have revealed details of six interrogation tactics approved by top brass for use at secret CIA jails in Asia and Eastern Europe, ABC News reported.
The techniques have lead to questionable confessions and the death of one man since March 2002, the network said, after interviewing current and former CIA officials.

Comment: Comment: Now agents within the CIA are revealing that torture is being used. That leaves the Bush gang and top military and intelligence leaders who are still denying that they are doing anything wrong. Hmm, why might that be...?

The war begun by President Bush with such bravado and so little braino, which was designed to convert him from a dismal president to a crisp and awe-inspiring commander-in-chief, has been lost.
The nearly 2100 Americans who have died so far to help the president get re-elected, to make him look like a leader, and to provide cover for his criminal executive power grab, have died for nothing.
American military might can destroy a country. It can kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. It can sow terror through the use of indiscriminate use of such WMDs as DU explosives, phosphorus bombs, helicopter and fixed-wing gunships and computerized drones and missiles. But it cannot defeat a concerted popular resistance.

With its unprecedented campaign to undermine and, where possible, eliminate independent journalism, the Bush Administration has demonstrated astonishing contempt for the Constitution and considerable fear of an informed public. Consider the bill of particulars:

Last night the House of Representatives, despite much posturing for the cameras, voted 403-to-3 to CONTINUE the war in Iraq. This despite overwhelming opposition to the war among the American people and th growing awareness that the government lied to the people to trick us into that war.
With that vote, the House showed that they support lying the nation into a war. With that vote, the House showed that they know the elections are rigged and they no longer need fear the wrath of the voters.

Pollard is saying that he was not only a "spy", he was an "agent", that is an Israeli mole planted in a position to extract secrets from Israel's great buddy, the US. He is not the only one. But he is not a Feith, a Perle, a high-placed neo-con who can pull some strings and get by with a slap on the wrist.
