GERMANY’S IMMORAL POLICY TOWARDS THE PALESTINIANS: German Chancellor Angela Merkel arrived in Israel Sunday on a three-day visit during which she is expected to reassert Germany’s “solidarity” and “special relations” with the Zionist state.

In her weekly video message broadcast last week, Merkel said she planned to stress Germany’s deep commitment to “defending” Israel when she addresses the Israeli Knesset or parliament on Tuesday.

Well, I am not quite sure that Israel, which possesses more than 300 nuclear bombs and warheads, along with their delivery systems, and also tightly controls the politics and policies of its guardian-ally, the United States, needs a foreign power to defend her against any real or imagined aggressor.

Cheney’s Surprise Trip to Iraq All About the Oil Fields
 

Cheney says Iraq changes "phenomenal, dramatic": "Especially significant is to be able to return this week to mark the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the campaign that liberated the people of Iraq from Saddam Hussein's tyranny," Cheney said after meeting Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

Among the political issues Cheney is discussing with Iraq's leaders are a stalled hydrocarbon law, one of Washington's so-called reconciliation benchmarks, U.S. officials said.
 

Cheney says US support for Iraq 'unwavering': A series of bomb blasts greeted Cheney's high-security and secrecy-shrouded arrival, underscoring the deadly violence that still grips the nation five years after US bombs began dropping on Baghdad.

Cheney, on a visit aimed at highlighting security gains and promoting political progress, said he had been sent by President George W. Bush to thank Iraqi leaders for their efforts in steering the country towards democracy.

Afghanistan challenge romantic - Bush: President Bush spoke of his dream to work on the frontline in Afghanistan during a video conference with US military and civilian personnel in the war-torn country.

"I must say, I'm a little envious," Bush said.

"If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.

"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks," President Bush said.
----------------------------
(Dear President Bush,
In the fading days of your labors on behalf of the world, please know how much we would like to see you realize your romantic dream of serving on the frontlines, whether Afghanistan or Iraq. Do go!
All the best,
The World At Large)
 

I believe it is well within the realm of possibilities that the U.S. committed or facilitated the assassination of Father Rahho, as they have sought to annihilate Iraq's educated class and sense of nation and culture. Comeuppance will be not be in the form of retribution, but in history's witness. Even after the U.S. leaves, who will clean up the depleted uranium that is causing cancer, blood diseases, miscarriages and birth defects? There must be war reparations paid (by the U.S. to Iraq) and war crimes trials conducted (against American and other officials who started this war of conquest.)
 

The Iraqi murdered Bishop was a staunch opponent to the US Occupation and denounced President Saddam Hussein's execution: According to knowledgeable sources from the Christian community in Mosul, the murder of the Bishop Rahho carries the signature of the Iranian and Mossad Intelligence in northern Iraq, which work hand in hand using the Peshmerga death squads, to foment more chaos, and drive a wedge, with the blessing of the US, in between communities in Iraq which lived peacefully for thousands of years in Mesopotamia, this land of revelation, Iraq the cradle of civilization. Iraq, our forefather Abraham' homeland.

This new murder comes days after the US' installed puppet government started a campaign against the so called terrorist networks "al Qaeda" in Mosul considering that "Al Qaeda" means in the US' literature and propaganda lingo, every single Iraqi who resists the US invading forces.

Cheney to troops: Mideast needs freedom: "You and I know what it means to be free," Cheney told the troops at an outdoor rally at Balad Air Base.

"We wouldn't give such freedoms away and neither would the people of Iraq or Afghanistan, but in both of those countries, they're facing attack from violent extremists who want to end all democratic progress and pull them once again in the direction of tyranny.

"We're helping them fight back because it's the right thing to do ... ."
 

Dear Mr. Cheney,
Something seems to have slipped your mind.
Halliburton Confirms Concentration Camps Already Constructed: On February 17, 2006, in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke of the harm being done to the country’s security, not just by the enemy, but also by what he called “news informers” who needed to be combated in “a contest of wills.”

In 2002 Attorney General John Ashcroft announced his desire to see camps for U.S. citizens deemed to be “enemy combatants.”

A Defense Department document, entitled the “Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support,” has set out a military strategy against terrorism that envisions an “active, layered defense” both inside and outside U.S. territory. In the document, the Pentagon pledges to “transform U.S. military forces to execute homeland defense missions in the . . . U.S. homeland.” The strategy calls for increased military reconnaissance and surveillance.

Iraqi asylum seeker numbers jump: Iraqis were the largest group among asylum seekers to the world's industrialised countries for the second year running, according to a UN report.
 

Militias and Death Squads: The Occupation Strategy to Divide Iraq: It is well known now that the war in Iraq is also a mercenary war, there are dozens of thousands of foreign mercenaries, 180.000 hired killers, very beautifully paid by the American government (1000-1500$ a day) . Supervised by CIA "experts" , Bremer exempted them from having to obey any law, neither the Iraqi, nor the Pentagon. Armed men from Latin America to South Africa to eastern Europe to Asia…outlawed by the Geneva conventions, there they are in tens of thousands. In addition, there thousands of intelligence agents from all over the world, especially U.S., U.K., Israel, Iran. All these military men are not in Iraq for picnic. All serve their own agendas, there are stories by eyewitnesses of strange people and cars being near the place of the explosion which happens immediately after they leave, we have the outrageous story of the two British spies who were caught in Basra, wearing Arabic dresses, their cars heavily loaded with weapons, in the middle of the crowd. We do not know so far who exploded the U.N. headquarter, or the Samarra shrines…But we know that the American authorities in Iraq prevented the result of the investigation of the U.N. explosion to be declared.
 

No Country for Old Men: The Reality of Iran in the Shadow of War: When it comes, it will come quickly. No big build-up, no new "roll-out of the product." The groundwork has already been laid, the specious casus beli already embraced, enthusiastically, by Congress. Proposed legislation to "compel" Bush to seek Congressional approval for an attack will be ignored, just as Bush blatantly ignores any Congressional stricture he dislikes. If he decides to launch an attack on Iran, no institutional or legal fetter will stop him. That's the stark truth of the matter.

IRAQ FIVE YEARS ON: Shocked, awed and left to rot : ... US Vice President Dick Cheney . . . has just been to a whirlwind Baghdad tour. He said he sensed "phenomenal changes" since his last whirlwind tour 10 months ago. He praised security progress as "dramatic".

British agency Oxford Research Business has recently updated its estimate of "additional deaths" caused by the war to 1.3 million Iraqis - not including the top killing fields, the provinces of al-Anbar (Sunni) and Karbala (Shi'ite). At least 4 million Iraqis have been internally displaced or become refugees, mostly in overburdened Syria and Jordan, now desperately running out of money and resources. As for any Sunni or Shi'ite proud of his historical memory, the US occupation has been regarded as more devastating than the Mongol invasion of the 13th century. Talk about a historical "phenomenal change".

Baghdad - following the strategy of counterinsurgency ace General David Petraeus - has been reduced to a rotten, amorphous, bloody and dangerous stockpile of blast-wall ghettos controlled by local warlords and militias. ...

Baghdad is not only the 21st century heart of darkness. It is Fear Central - a desert sand nightmare frozen in fear, a direct consequence of the soggy mix of Petraeus' "surge" profiting from the uneasy Shi'ite Mahdi Army truce and the proliferation of the 80,000-strong anti-al-Qaeda movement dominated by Sunnis, Sahwa (Awakening).
