Free Iraq

الذين يعيشون في العراق او في بغداد على وجه التحديد يعايشون الفرسنة في كل مكان بكل اشكالها و وجوهها وبشاعتها..
قبل فترة في احد الدول الغير عربية كان هناك وفد يتناول طعام الغداء في مطعم من يراهم ويسمع كلامهم يجزم بأنهم ايرانيين ولكن النادل قال انهم وفد رسمي عراقي !!!
 

Killing the Palestinians: ... The wall has relegated Palestinian self-determination in their own sovereign state to the bulldozed, treeless dust heap of a prison that Israel has deliberately and systematically succeeded in diminishing. This is the land that Israel wants and is taking, while herding Palestinians into ever smaller disconnected Bantustans, in order to establish an exclusively Jewish state.

Palestinians need permits for everything. In the West Bank and Gaza Strip, they are issued with green IDs with an identity number that allows them to reside there and to get through the checkpoints in their own country. They cannot get anywhere without them. ...

The Palestinian situation is one frequently compared to the imaginary circumstances described in George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-four”. For the Palestinians though, it is anything but imaginary. Two, even three generations have grown up knowing almost nothing about the freedom we take for granted. Instead, they are confronted by the awesome arsenal of Israel’s sophisticated military machine – the ever-present soldiers, guns, tanks, the constant whirring sounds of Apache helicopters, the sickening scream of F16 fighter planes overhead, the watchtowers, the bombs, the sonic booms, the bullets, and the unlimited power of the Occupier. But more than that, they must endure Israel’s Machiavellian twists and turns that have made the situation so malevolently complex and have so demonised the Palestinians in the eyes of the world. ...

Unbelievably, the world has normalised the occupation by making the victim responsible for the crimes of the occupying power. Every act by Israel is justified for reasons of security. Every act against Israel invites collective punishment on the whole Palestinian population. This happened to the people of Gaza last year when an Israeli army corporal was abducted. A massive military operation was launched which decimated Gaza’s infrastructure, pulverised homes, shops and government buildings and killed and wounded hundreds of civilians. And just to punish the Palestinians for voting the Hamas party into government, Israel also kidnapped 64 Palestinian members of parliament including 8 cabinet ministers and 22 members of the Palestinian Legislative Council. A year later, they are still being held in Israeli prisons.

The diabolical endgame is closing in. Left on the board are apartheid, enslavement, transfer, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Unpalatable as these terms are, more and more people are beginning to see just where Israel’s policies and practices are heading.

The first person to coin the term “genocide” was a Polish-Jewish legal scholar Raphael Lemkin whose idea was widely accepted by the international community and it became one of the legal bases of the Nuremburg Trials. It is interesting to see the parallel between his definition and what is happening to the Palestinians today:

“Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.” Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (Wash DC: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 1944), p79.
 

Military Envisions Longer Stay in Iraq: One of the guiding principles, according to two officials here, is that the United States should leave Iraq more intelligently than it entered. ...

Even as they focus on the realities in Iraq, officials here are also keeping an eye on Washington politics. Despite the talk in the U.S. capital that Petraeus has only until September to stabilize the situation in Iraq, some officers here are quietly suggesting that they really may have until Jan. 20, 2009 -- when President Bush leaves office -- to put the smaller, revised force in place. They doubt that Bush will pull the plug on the war or that Congress will ultimately force his hand.

Such timing matters because, despite some tactical success in making some Baghdad neighborhoods safer* ...

Is There a ‘Foxification’ Underway at Al Jazeera Television? "There is already a change of tone and focus in the news," a veteran insider reveals. He blames the shift on a reorganization of the network’s governing structure a month ago that has put a former Ambassador from Qatar to the USA in a commanding position.

"You don’t need to bomb Al Jazeera to change its direction," said my source. "There is a softer way to influence its direction by taking it over from within and it can happen quietly almost as if in slow motion. You 'broaden’ some programs, announce new 'guidelines,’ issue new edicts reinforcing top-down control, purge some professionals you don’t like, and then give more positive unchallenged airtime to backers of US foreign policy. Washington would not be open about any behind the scenes role it is playing in all this for fear of triggering a very negative public reaction."
 

June 10th 2007 -
Occupation forces abandon Rutbah Base: Occupation forces abandon Rutbah (H3) military base and Iraqi resistance are attacking the retreated forces with mortars, two Hamvees were hit in the street leading to Rutbah bank, no more details.
 

Giving up the Soul of America: ... The very idea of "permanent bases" gave the game away. Bush's war against the people of Iraq was never intended to be won. It was never intended to be anything but an Orwellian state of emergency and endless war. It was never intended to end terrorism or to bring Democracy to Iraq. It was intended to distract the American public and keep George W. Bush in the White House. Let's look at things through George W. Bush's lens. Winning the war in Iraq means we leave and, in leaving, we lose the oil fields. Alas, Bush has embarked upon a "new frontier": tyranny and dictatorship.

Iraq parliament speaker removed: Many of the house's 275 legislators viewed his behavior as unbecoming and, on occasion, erratic.

Last year, he barely survived a campaign by Shiite and Kurdish politicians to remove him after he said Iraqis who killed American troops should be celebrated as heroes.

Palestine -The Invisible Holocaust: With the Balfour Declaration, one nation promised a nation not yet in existence the land already inhabited by a third nation. The third nation was not consulted. Balfour would later write, "For in Palestine we do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country" and, he further wrote of Palestine, "Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long tradition, in present needs, in future hopes, of far profounder importance than the desire and prejudicies of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land."

While spending some time with the Palestinians in the following videos, imagine yourself within the crowds, largely unarmed with the exception of those rocks and slingshots mentioned above, running from the tanks and other military vehicles from which random shots of live ammunition and mortar shells are being fired at buildings, shops, fruit stands, and at the people. As the crowds of refugees are running, some can be seen carrying bags of bread with them. This is a sight that one will not quickly or easily forget. To see people running from Zionist soldiers while clutching bags of bread suggests that the refugees are running with the hope that they might live long enough to see their next meal.

On this particular day of filming, however, in the first video linked below, one six-year-old child will not be so fortunate. She will not live to share another meal with her family. ...
 

Dear Dr. Imad,

While Iranians president speaking about the distraction of Israel or the denial of Holocaust and all those strong words about Israel, threatening the Gulf States to be stricken if they give support for the action against Iran,

This bring to minds, Khomeini "Daja'al" said he like to freed AlQudes from Zionists, Saddam was fast in his response to that he offer Khomeini a corridor through Iraq's territories for Iranian Military tropes to pass to go to free AlQudes but "AlDaja'al" continued his crimes against Iraq.

Now look to this and see what Iran is doing behind the curtains

Iran invites Israeli tourists

Just days after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that the “countdown to the destruction of Israel has begun,” Iranian government officials cordially invited Israelis to visit their country.

During a recent international tourism conference in Berlin, a representative of the Israeli culture and tourism television program “The Good Life” said he was shocked when high-level officials from the Iranian Ministry of Tourism singled him out and treated him to a very warm reception.

Sharon Lamberger told Israel's Ma'ariv daily newspaper that as the encounter drew to a close, the Iranians said they would very much like for Israeli tourists to come to Iran.

Israel and Iran had friendly relations prior to the Islamic Revolution and the overthrow of the shah by the ayatollahs. Many in Iran still remember those days, and are ready to reconnect with the Jewish state.

Lamberger said he hopes to use the information and material provided by his new Iranian friends to prepare Israelis for the day they are able to visit and explore the Persian homeland.

Interview with Hashmeya Muhsin Hussein,Iraqi Electrical Utility Workers Union President

Hussein: It is as simple as this sentence: America came for the oil. They are all excuses. It was possible they could have removed Saddam Hussein in the first war, but he actually gave them privileges in the area, in the Middle East, and many people think that Saddam gave them a signature on a blank piece of paper. And as a result, Saddam stayed and he managed to oppress and stop the uprising. Everyone knows that America has interest in the area whether it was geographical location for the troops in addition to what Iraq has in not just oil but other resources, Iraq resources. Because Iraq’s land is rich with many metals.
And now we have a rumor that I don’t know how strong it is that we have mercury, that Iraq is very rich in red mercury which is the most rare in the world and still has not been discovered. Therefore, we think that America has interests.
And the evidence is that we have been suffering for years from the destruction. It could have throughout the four years, America could have returned the electricity to the Iraqi people, cleaned up the area, provided healthy water, paved the destroyed roads. They have cancelled the whole entire sewer system.
Where is America when we are having all this destruction?

Mideast 'may see full-scale war'
 

In his latest book, The Mess they Made: the Middle East after Iraq, Gwynne Dyer says there is no doubt that the US will withdraw its troops from Iraq once George W. Bush leaves office. The invasion and occupation of Iraq is having the same effect and impact on the American public that Vietnam had. He says Congress will be reluctant to vote new funds as the Arab world becomes more revolutionary, but he believes that the threat of terrorism upon the west would decline. The Muslims will be in power and they won’t want to bother with the US. If George and the neocons attack Iran in rogue fashion the whole scenario will change. Top illuminist Zbigniew Brzezinski says if the US attacks Iran, it will lose its place in the world. If Bush decides to invade Iran he will lose, and the Iranians will close the Gulf to tanker traffic and that will bring on a world economic crisis. America has become a rogue state and the world knows it. “George Bush is a 12-year old with a shotgun.”
