The Hidden Massacre of Fallujah / Embittered Insiders Turn Against Bush / IRAN

MUST WATCH
The Hidden Massacre of Fallujah

This is the terrible testimony given by Jeff Englehart, veteran of the war in Iraq. “I have seen women and children burnt bodies – the former U.S. soldier added – phosphorus explodes and it creates a cloud. Whoever is within 150 mt is dead.” Some witnesses have seen a rainfall of burning substances of different colors that were burning people when hit and even those who were not hit had problems breathing”, told us Mohamad Tareq al-Deraji, director of the center for human rights studies in Fallujah.

IRAQ – The Death Squads (Documentary)

This shocking film investigates the links between the death squads and high-ranking Shiaat politicians Such as prime minister Al Maleki who is US puppet. It reveals how the Shiaat militia that these politicians control have systematically infiltrated and taken over police units and even entire government ministeries. It investigates how these units are closely linked to the death squads, indeed they often are the death squads. And the killers act with impunity — there’s little investigation into their activities.

Clear Evidence 2006 Congressional Elections Hacked

by Rob Kall

Results Skewed Nationwide In Favor of Republicans by 4 percent, 3 million votes

A major undercount of Democratic votes and an overcount of Republican votes in U.S. House and Senate races across the country is indicated by an analysis of national exit polling data, by the Election Defense Alliance (EDA), a national election integrity organization.

These findings have led EDA to issue an urgent call for further investigation into the 2006 election results and a moratorium on deployment of all electronic election equipment.

Embittered Insiders Turn Against Bush

“The three individuals who got the highest civilian medals the president can give were responsible for a lot of the debacle that was Iraq,” Adelman said. All told, he said, the Bush national security team has proved to be “the most incompetent” of the past half-century. But, he added, “Obviously, the president is ultimately responsible.”

Democrats Warned Not to Block Judges

Saturday November 18, 2006 12:31 AM AP Photo DCPM104 By LAURIE KELLMAN
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Senate’s next Republican leader issued a veiled threat to block action on legislation if Democrats refuse to allow confirmation votes on President Bush’s troubled judicial nominations.

Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who will become minority leader Jan. 4, told the conservative Federalist Society Friday not to feel bad about the Senate election results because Republicans will hold 49 seats in a body that requires 60 votes to end a filibuster and bring legislation or presidential nominees to a final vote.

If the “Democrats want our cooperation, they’ll give the president’s judicial nominees an up-or-down vote,” McConnell said….

Global Hawk to Fly 1st Mission Over U.S.
Nov 19 2:59 PM US/Eastern

They’ve become a fixture in the skies over Iraq and Afghanistan, a new breed of unmanned aircraft operated with remote controls by “pilots” sitting in virtual cockpits many miles away.
But the Air Force’s Global Hawk has never flown a mission over the United States.
That is set to change Monday, when the first Global Hawk is scheduled to land at Beale Air Force Base in northern California.
“This landmark flight has historic implications since it’s the first time a Global Hawk has not only flown from Beale, but anywhere in the United States on an official Air Combat Command mission,” base spokesman Capt. Michael Andrews said in a statement….

Groups object to plan for war-crimes trials at Guantanamo
By Carol Rosenberg McClatchy Newspapers

MIAMI – Critics of the Guantanamo Bay detention center Friday reacted with fury to Pentagon plans to build a major compound for war-crimes trials at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba – deriding project as a “white elephant” and urging its rejection by Congress.

“Once again, the Defense Department seems to be operating in – even constructing – its own universe,” said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International’s U.S. division.

New York civil liberties lawyer Michael Ratner called the proposed compound, which could cost as much as $125 million, “another huge waste of taxpayer money . . . to carry out kangaroo trials that will never pass constitutional muster.”

Video: Iranian-American filmmaker sues Rumsfeld

David Edwards
Published: Friday November 17, 2006

CNN interviews Cyrus Kar, an Iranian-American filmmaker, who is suing U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for wrongful imprisonment and the violation of his Constitutional rights.
In Iraq to film a historical documentary, Kar was charged with being a terrorist and placed in the notorious prison at Abu Ghraib. Kar was held for 55 days, most of them in solitary confinement. After 49 days, he was finally given a hearing and eventually freed.
Rumsfeld has filed motions to have the suit dismissed. A hearing in January will determine if Kar’s lawsuit can go forward.

Iraq is a ‘disaster’ admits Blair
By TIM SHIPMAN
Last updated at 22:00pm on 17th November 2006

Blair’s most frank admission yet over the war in Iraq came during an interview on the new Al Jazeera English television channel with Sir David Frost
Tony Blair admitted that British intervention in Iraq has been a disaster last night – sending shockwaves through Westminster.

In his frankest admission about the war to date, Mr Blair admitted that Western forces have been powerless to stop the descent into violence.

The Prime Minister stopped short of accepting the blame for plunging Iraq to the brink of civil war – blaming instead the insurgent uprising that has killed 125 British troops.

But his admission in an interview with the Arab new channel Al Jazeera will be seen as an historic climbdown for Mr Blair, who has always fought to put a positive gloss on often disastrous events.

Challenged by veteran interviewer Sir David Frost that the Western invasion of Iraq has “so far been pretty much of a disaster”, Mr Blair said: “It has.”

His words were last night seen as an olive branch to other states in the Middle East and his critics at home.

US plans last big push in Iraq
Strategy document calls for extra 20,000 troops, aid for Iraqi army and regional summit

Simon Tisdall
Thursday November 16, 2006
The Guardian

President George Bush has told senior advisers that the US and its allies must make “a last big push” to win the war in Iraq and that instead of beginning a troop withdrawal next year, he may increase US forces by up to 20,000 soldiers, according to sources familiar with the administration’s internal deliberations.
Mr Bush’s refusal to give ground, coming in the teeth of growing calls in the US and Britain for a radical rethink or a swift exit, is having a decisive impact on the policy review being conducted by the Iraq Study Group chaired by Bush family loyalist James Baker, the sources said.
Although the panel’s work is not complete, its recommendations are expected to be built around a four-point “victory strategy” developed by Pentagon officials advising the group. The strategy, along with other related proposals, is being circulated in draft form and has been discussed in separate closed sessions with Mr Baker and the vice-president Dick Cheney, an Iraq war hawk.
Point one of the strategy calls for an increase rather than a decrease in overall US force levels inside Iraq, possibly by as many as 20,000 soldiers. This figure is far fewer than that called for by the Republican presidential hopeful, John McCain. But by raising troop levels, Mr Bush will draw a line in the sand and defy Democratic pressure for a swift drawdown.

The Senate’s “Horrible Mistake”
John Nichols
Fri Nov 17, 11:08 AM ET

The Nation — For decades, the official policy of the United States has been to discourage nuclear proliferation, particularly in southern Asia. But the U.S. Senate now says: No more.

At the prodding of the Bush administration, the Senate voted 85-12 to allow the U.S. to ship nuclear fuel and technology to India as part of an initiative to encourage the expansion of nuclear programs in that country. At a time when the Bush administration is suggesting the U.S. might need to go to war to block nuclear proliferation in

Iran andNorth Korea, the Senate has given its stamp of approval to proliferation in one of the most volatile regions of the world. Describing the vote as “a horrible mistake,” Senator Byron Dorgan, D-North Dakota, said the vote repudiated decades of U.S. policy of “telling the world it’s our responsibility and our major goal to stop the spread of nuclear weapons.”

Bush’s Desire for a Conflict With Iran Is A Crisis Made in Israel
By Scott Ritter, Nation Books. Posted November 20, 2006.

One must recognize the role that the Holocaust plays on the psyche of Israel to understand why it would never tolerate a nuclear Iran.
Tools

The following is an excerpt from Scott Ritter’s new book “Taget Iran: The Truth About the White House’s Plans for Regime Change” (Nation Books, 2006).

To understand Israel’s present stance on Iran, perhaps the best place to begin is at Yad Vashem, Israel’s main Holocaust museum and memorial. It is at Yad Vashem that Israelis reflect on the very reason there is a modern Israeli state, namely because of the genocidal forces that brought so much suffering upon the Jewish people in the past century. Modern Israelis are also reminded here of the political forces that continue to seek the elimination of not only the Jews, but also Israel itself….

PERFECT STORM BUILDING IN PERSIAN GULF

The gale force winds of war are blowing in the Persian Gulf and all the signs are there ~ if you take the blinders off.

1. The United States has assembled the Enterprise carrier attack Strike force along with mine sweepers in the gulf supposedly for war games.

2. Visiting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has returned to his country with reassurances from the Bush administration that it is not backing down from its view that Iran and its nuclear program are a world threat. http://tinyurl.com/vvrpm This same scenario happened this last summer with Cheney,Olmert and Netanyahu before Israel launched their devastating retaliatory invasion of Lebanon ~ with the intent of neutralizing Hezbollah before eventually attacking Iran.

3. Bibi Netanyahu ( Israel’s Dick Cheney ) and Darth Vader himself ( Dick Cheney ) are eager to launch a preemptive strike on Iran. Cheney’s rationale, of course, is Regime Change. Bibi is playing the fear card ~ ” Ahmadinejad Is Preparing Another Holocaust For Israel ” ~ Benjamin Netanyahu

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/blake-fleetwood/ahmadinejad-is-preparing_b_34144.html

4. Iran announces intent to move away from U.S. dollar: Iran may have signed a virtual “death warrant” by openly declaring a governmental decision to move away from the dollar in the country’s foreign-exchange transactions, says WND columnist Jerome Corsi

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52977

Remember, this is exactly what Saddam did and we attacked shortly after he made that decision.

5. Ex-Iranian president warns U-S against invading : Iran’s former president has a warning for the White House: don’t even think about invading his country.Hashemi Rafsanjani (hah-SHEH’-mee rahf-sahn-JAHN’-ee) says what he calls the Bush administration’s “iron fist policy” is a failure. And he adds it would be “dangerous” for the U-S to think it can do in Iran what it’s done in Iraq and Afghanistan. http://www.wavy.com/Global/story.asp?S=5697223

6. Israel does not want the United States to pull out of Iraq but needs a justification for their continued presence in the region, particularly with a Democratic Congress eager to disengage, so why not a preemptive war with Iran.

7. Russia is going ahead with a contract to deliver sophisticated air defence systems to Iran, a Russian defence ministry official said, despite appeals from Washington to reconsider
http://tinyurl.com/ssnn2 So Israel wants to strike now before the air defense systems are in place.

8. AIPAC and Jewish Groups Side With Bush on Bolton : In the first post-election battle between the Bush administration and the Democrats, the Jewish community is standing behind the president as he pushes the candidacy of John Bolton.

http://www.forward.com/articles/groups-side-with-bush-on-bolton/

The Israeli ‘s need Cheney / Bush stooge U.N. Ambassador John Bolton to provide cover for them after their premptive strike ~ and Bolton’s term is effectively over in January.

9. This is Cheney’s ( ‘ the natural state of man is war ‘ ) last chance to implement his discredited neocon middle east design ~ before a new and unsympathetic Democratic Congress takes office in January.

10. Bush’s only chance to avoid humiliating investigations and indictments is to go to war with Iran and here’s the likely scenario ~ and aftermath.

The Persian Gulf perfect storm: Israel preemptively attacks Iran’s nuclear facililities, Iran retaliates directly against Israel, U.S. launches massive attack on Iran, Hezbollah and Syria attack Israel ~ WW III, to which I add, Oil prices soar, stock market crumbles, Bush declares National Emergency and perhaps martial law ~ and Congress remains powerless.

As such, this lameduck period is extremely dangerous for the Bush/Cheney administration is still very much in power and is still very likely to use it.
