Switzerland summons US ambassador over death of Swiss citizen in Iraq - to explain the death in Iraq of a Swiss businessman who was shot and killed by an American soldier.
The soldiers in Iraq have come home to discover they have paid a cruel price indeed for Bush's war; - an epidemic of birth defects among their own children, most likely the result of exposure to depleted uranium weapons.

But we didn’t come this far because we’re made of sugar candy. Once upon a time, we elbowed our way onto and into this continent by giving small pox infected blankets to native Americans. Yes, that was biological warfare! And we used every other weapon we could get our hands on to grab this land from whomever. And we grew prosperous. And, yes, we greased the skids with the sweat of slaves. And so it goes with most nation states, which, feeling guilty about their savage pasts, eventually civilize themselves out of business and wind up invaded, and ultimately dominated by the lean, hungry and up and coming who are not made of sugar candy.

"The U.S. Government Should Stop Meddling in the Oil Market" by Ivan Eland.Full Article

Gladio-Styled “Strategy of Tension” Spawning Islamic Terrorism? Kurt Nimmo, Another Day in the Empire - As it turns out, Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, who was reportedly abducted in Milan on February 17, 2003, was a CIA informant, according to Albanian intelligence officials. “Why would the U.S. government go to elaborate lengths to seize a 39-year-old Egyptian who, according to former Albanian intelligence officials, was once the CIA’s most productive source of information within the tightly knit group of Islamic fundamentalists living in exile in Albania?” muses the Chicago Tribune. Italian prosecutors seem to believe Nasr had wandered and the CIA wanted to “turn him back into the informer he once was.” Maybe. However, there is also the possibility the CIA (and there is evidence the abduction has nothing to do with the CIA) wanted to make sure Nasr didn’t spill the beans on their covert activities. Italian prosecutors are discovering some interesting links as they probe the Nasr abduction...

Comrade Raimondo Seeks a Scapegoat - by Israel Shamir
Whilst I oppose the Act of War, I also defend and support the brave men and women who lay down their lives so that we may be free. To send a man or women to die is a huge responsibility, to take that decision over a lie is an act of murder. It defiles the sacrifices made by soldiers throughout the ages, it insults the memories of those who have fallen so that we may be free. To send men and women off to die ill equipped is tantamount to murder. To abuse their commitment and manipulate their belief systems for a lie is criminal. To order these brave men and women to kill for a lie is the most hideous evil comprehendable to man.www.djpauledge.com/blog.php?id=96
