Evidence Mounts That Bush Wants New Wars
In this his time of troubles, Bush seems to be moving deliberately and rapidly toward new wars of aggression in an unforgivable gamble to overcome his troubles. His speech on Veterans' Day, November 11, 2005 at the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania leads to this conclusion more clearly than any...

AMERICA USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN IRAQ - OFFICIAL
Another massive scandal is breaking around the ears of the Bush "administration" and I'd be surprised if this has yet made it to American television screens or newspapers. The situation is around the use of white phosporous as a chemical weapon. The international convention covering chemical weapons...

LET'S TALK ABOUT FRANCE, PART 2
Well, my previous post really seems to have put the wind up a few people on this network. Hit a few raw nerves, as it were. I pride myself on responding to every comment I receive. However, there's a lot to respond to this time, so I'm collecting it all into a second post instead. OFFBEATS - yes, of...

LET'S TALK ABOUT FRANCE
Try this. You've been living in cramped conditions in a run-down part of town for three years. You don't want to be there. You don't even want to be in France.

BAGHDAD - A REALITY CHECK
I'm disturbed by the recent upswing in the assessment of the situation in Iraq for ordinary Iraqis, usually made by ordinary Americans who have never been anywhere outside of America, let alone into Iraq itself. I'm more interested in what the likes of Patrick Cockburn, Robert Fisk and others...

AMERICA IS F**KED
I read someone today on this netword, complaining that the harping and the gloating (from anti-Bush elements about the Scooter indictment) will never, ever stop. I suggested in a Comment that the harping and gloating will stop, as it happens. It'll stop when America finally finds the wisdom to...

The Epic Crime That Dares Not Speak Its Name
A Royal Air Force officer is about to be tried before a military court for refusing to return to Iraq because the war is illegal. Malcolm Kendall-Smith is the first British officer to face criminal charges for challenging the legality of the invasion and occupation. He is not a conscientious...

The Most Important Criminal Case in American History
If special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald delivers indictments of a few functionaries of the vice president’s office or the White House, we are likely to have on our hands a constitutional crisis. The evidence of widespread wrongdoing and conspiracy is before every American with a cheap laptop and a...

Are We Going to War With Iran?
The Sunday Telegraph warned last weekend that the UN had a last chance to avert war with Iran and, at a meeting in London last week, the US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, expressed his regret that any failure by the UN security council to deal with Iran would damage the security council's...

Iraq and the Laws of War
On 19 March 2003 President Bush Jr. commenced his criminal war against Iraq by ordering a so-called decapitation strike against the President of Iraq in violation of a 48-hour ultimatum he had given publicly to the Iraqi President and his sons to leave the country. This duplicitous behavior violated...
