It's an old story. Mu-slime militants and terrorists see the 
Americans coming, and respond by hiding amongst civilians. Then 
those mu-slime plant bombs on roadsides and go back to hiding 
among the innocent.

The U.S. sees what's happening and goes after the mu-slime 
terrorists and kills them. Collateral damage occurs, with 
innocent civilians killed as a result of the cowardly 
terrorists, who were trying to hide behind human shields when 
the American military removed those terrorists from the physical 
realm. The fault of the deaths of innocents lies with the 
terrorists. And the U.S. will continue to go after the subhuman 
mu-slime terrorists and militants by whatever means the U.S. 
deems best. 

That's the way it is.

New analysis of civilian casualties in Iraq: Report unveils 
comprehensive details 

"A Dossier on Civilian Casualties in Iraq, 2003-2005" is the 
first detailed account of all non-combatants reported killed or 
wounded during the first two years of the continuing conflict. 
The report, published by Iraq Body Count in association with 
Oxford Research Group, is based on comprehensive analysis of 
over 10,000 media reports published between March 2003 and March 
2005. 

Findings include:
Who was killed? 
24,865 civilians were reported killed in the first two years. 
Women and children accounted for almost 20% of all civilian 
deaths. 
Baghdad alone recorded almost half of all deaths. 
When did they die? 
30% of civilian deaths occurred during the invasion phase before 
1 May 2003. 
Post-invasion, the number of civilians killed was almost twice 
as high in year two (11,351) as in year one (6,215). 
Who did the killing? 
US-led forces killed 37% of civilian victims. 
Anti-occupation forces/insurgents killed 9% of civilian victims. 
Post-invasion criminal violence accounted for 36% of all deaths. 
Killings by anti-occupation forces, crime and unknown agents 
have shown a steady rise over the entire period. 
What was the most lethal weaponry? 
Over half (53%) of all civilian deaths involved explosive 
devices. 
Air strikes caused most (64%) of the explosives deaths. 
Children were disproportionately affected by all explosive 
devices but most severely by air strikes and unexploded ordnance 
(including cluster bomblets). 
How many were injured? 
At least 42,500 civilians were reported wounded. 
The invasion phase caused 41% of all reported injuries. 
Explosive weaponry caused a higher ratio of injuries to deaths 
than small arms. 
The highest wounded-to-death ratio incidents occurred during the 
invasion phase. 
Who provided the information? 
Mortuary officials and medics were the most frequently cited 
witnesses. 
Three press agencies provided over one third of the reports 
used. 
Iraqi journalists are increasingly central to the reporting 
work. 
Speaking today at the launch of the report in London, Professor 
John Sloboda, FBA, one of the report's authors said: "The ever-
mounting Iraqi death toll is the forgotten cost of the decision 
to go to war in Iraq. On average, 34 ordinary Iraqis have met 
violent deaths every day since the invasion of March 2003. Our 
data show that no sector of Iraqi society has escaped. We 
sincerely hope that this research will help to inform decision-
makers around the world about the real needs of the Iraqi people 
as they struggle to rebuild their country. It remains a matter 
of the gravest concern that, nearly two and half years on, 
neither the US nor the UK governments have begun to 
systematically measure the impact of their actions in terms of 
human lives destroyed."

An American military attack helicopter has crashed during a 
training exercise in Afghanistan, injuring two crew members, the 
military says 
Date: Fri Jul 29 21:57:33 2005 
Message:
An American military attack helicopter has crashed during a 
training exercise in Afghanistan, injuring two crew members, the 
military says. 



The AH-64 Apache gunship crashed on Friday while conducting 
exercises on a helicopter firing range near the main American 
base at Bagram, north of the capital of Kabul, the US military 
said in a statement. 

Hostile fire was not suspected in the incident, it said. 

The aircraft's two crew members were taken to the US base for 
treatment and are in a stable condition, said US army spokesman 
Lieutenant-Colonel Jerry O'Hara. 

"It was a training accident on a live fire range," he said. "The 
crew members were recovered and both of them are still at the 
medical facility on base getting taken care of. They're going to 
be fine."

The cause of the accident, which happened at night, was not 
immediately known, but US forces have secured the crash site and 
are conducting an investigation.

Chinook

The crash comes a day after the US military said a US-led 
coalition Chinook helicopter had been destroyed by a blaze that 
broke out as it made a "hard landing" with six crew and 25 
Afghan soldiers on board. No one was hurt. 

The massive, twin-rotor helicopter had been taking troops to 
fight militants near Spin Boldak, a town close to the border 
with Pakistan. 

 
A memorial for the US soldiers 
killed in a Chinook crash
 
Last month, a Chinook that had been modified for special forces 
operations was shot down in eastern Kunar province, also near 
the border with Pakistan, killing all 16 US forces on board.

In April, 15 US service members and three American civilians 
were killed when their Chinook went down in a sandstorm while 
returning to the main US base at Bagram. 

In a statement on Thursday, the military released the findings 
of an investigation into the cause of the April crash. It 
said "the aircraft encountered a severe dust storm with winds 
over 45 knots that caused the pilots to lose outside visibility."

Russia keeps going by keeping it simple 


Published July 27, 2005 

It's time to thank the Russians. 

Thank them for keeping the international space station afloat 
while the shuttle has been in Mr. Goodwrench's shop. 

For more than two years they have ferried astronauts, delivered 
the Tang and taken out the garbage. 

Without them, our choices would have been to aim the space 
station at the Pacific or slap duct tape on the external fuel 
tank and hope for the best. 

And to think NASA officials once wanted to jettison the Russians 
from the space station. 

They complained the Russians were broke and causing delays. They 
were a bumbling bunch of low-tech Ivans. They bolted together 
sewer pipes, filled them with kerosene, put a couple of 
astronauts on top and sent them to that orbiting bucket of bolts 
known as Mir. 

But Bill Clinton kept the Russians on board. 

Smart guy, that Bill. 

The Russians are running a safer, more reliable space program 
than we are. Since Columbia burned up in the atmosphere, the 
Russians have sent five manned missions to the space station. 

The genius of the Russians is that they keep it simple. 

Their Soyuz capsule first flew in 1967. The parachute failed and 
a cosmonaut died. Three more cosmonauts died in 1971 when the 
capsule lost pressure upon re-entry. 

Nobody has died in a manned Soviet/Russian spaceflight since. 

Meanwhile, 14 astronauts have died on the shuttle. The 
Challenger and Columbia accidents shut down the American space 
program for more than five years at a cost of billions of 
dollars. 

The Russians, meanwhile, just keep on flying. 

They found a basic design that worked and stuck to it. 

The Americans came up with a much more complicated design and 
almost 25 years later, they still don't understand it. 

To get their capsules into orbit, Russians use the 1960s-era 
Soyuz rocket. It is the workhorse of their space program, 
lifting off more than 1,000 times with everything from military 
satellites to space tourist Dennis Tito on board. 

It is what space engineers refer to as a "Big Dumb Booster." 

Think of a rusty, 1967 Chevy pickup that has 245,000 miles and 
cranks every time. 

The Russian rockets are like a rock. 

When you've been flying the same system for decades, you get a 
handle on the glitches. You tend not to be blindsided by burned 
O-rings and falling foam. And when things go wrong, you can 
figure out the problem and fix it. 

After an unmanned Soyuz blew up during a 2002 liftoff, the 
Russians quickly ruled out a design flaw and safely launched 
astronauts less than a month later. Compare that to the delays 
following an American launch mishap. 

The Russians have spent decades minimizing what can go wrong 
with spaceflight while we have been going in the opposite 
direction. 

I'd sooner strap my fanny to a Soyuz than a shuttle. 

I'd trust Ivan with his pipe wrench more than a Cal Tech Ph.D. 
with his computer. 

I'm not alone. Those masters of copyright infringement, the 
Chinese, did not bootleg a shuttle to start their manned space 
program. They cloned Soyuz. 

The shuttle program faces retirement in 2010. A planned high-
tech replacement called the X-33 was so high tech it was deemed 
impracticable, and canceled after $1.3 billion was spent on it. 
Now we have something called the Crew Exploration Vehicle 
scheduled for launch in 2014 at a cost of $15 billion. It will 
introduce a whole new generation of glitches into our space 
program. 

The Soyuz was flying almost 15 years before the first shuttle 
flight and will be flying after the last shuttle comes in for a 
landing at the Smithsonian. Unlike the shuttle, Soyuz is not 
broken. 

I would not be the least bit surprised if we have to rely on it 
to also bail out the Crew Exploration Vehicle. 

Thank goodness we have those bumbling Russians and their 
antiquated space program.

Two US marines killed in western Iraq
By: peopledaily.com on: 29.07.2005 [09:31 ] 


Two US marines were killed in clashes with insurgents in western 
Iraq, the US military said in a statement on Friday. 

The two, assigned to Regimental Combat Team-2 of the 2nd Marine 
Division, were killed on Thursday by insurgents who used small 
arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire in a village west of 
Haditha city, some 250 km west of Baghdad. 

The names of the victims were being withheld pending 
notification of next of kin, the statement said. 

In another statement, the US military said clashes erupted 
between US-Iraqi forces and insurgents, who attacked patrols in 
the same village. 

US warplanes responded with an air strike, which destroyed 
buildings used by insurgents as safe houses and firing 
positions, the statement said. 

"Iraqi security forces and coalition forces killed nine 
terrorists, five of whom were reportedly Syrian nationals," it 
said.

An American military attack helicopter has crashed during a 
training exercise in Afghanistan, injuring two crew members, the 
military says. 



The AH-64 Apache gunship crashed on Friday while conducting 
exercises on a helicopter firing range near the main American 
base at Bagram, north of the capital of Kabul, the US military 
said in a statement. 

Hostile fire was not suspected in the incident, it said. 

The aircraft's two crew members were taken to the US base for 
treatment and are in a stable condition, said US army spokesman 
Lieutenant-Colonel Jerry O'Hara. 

"It was a training accident on a live fire range," he said. "The 
crew members were recovered and both of them are still at the 
medical facility on base getting taken care of. They're going to 
be fine."

The cause of the accident, which happened at night, was not 
immediately known, but US forces have secured the crash site and 
are conducting an investigation.

Chinook

The crash comes a day after the US military said a US-led 
coalition Chinook helicopter had been destroyed by a blaze that 
broke out as it made a "hard landing" with six crew and 25 
Afghan soldiers on board. No one was hurt. 

The massive, twin-rotor helicopter had been taking troops to 
fight militants near Spin Boldak, a town close to the border 
with Pakistan.

New analysis of civilian casualties in Iraq: Report unveils 
comprehensive details 

"A Dossier on Civilian Casualties in Iraq, 2003-2005" is the 
first detailed account of all non-combatants reported killed or 
wounded during the first two years of the continuing conflict. 
The report, published by Iraq Body Count in association with 
Oxford Research Group, is based on comprehensive analysis of 
over 10,000 media reports published between March 2003 and March 
2005. 

Findings include:
Who was killed? 
24,865 civilians were reported killed in the first two years. 
Women and children accounted for almost 20% of all civilian 
deaths. 
Baghdad alone recorded almost half of all deaths. 
When did they die? 
30% of civilian deaths occurred during the invasion phase before 
1 May 2003. 
Post-invasion, the number of civilians killed was almost twice 
as high in year two (11,351) as in year one (6,215). 
Who did the killing? 
US-led forces killed 37% of civilian victims. 
Anti-occupation forces/insurgents killed 9% of civilian victims. 
Post-invasion criminal violence accounted for 36% of all deaths. 
Killings by anti-occupation forces, crime and unknown agents 
have shown a steady rise over the entire period. 
What was the most lethal weaponry? 
Over half (53%) of all civilian deaths involved explosive 
devices. 
Air strikes caused most (64%) of the explosives deaths. 
Children were disproportionately affected by all explosive 
devices but most severely by air strikes and unexploded ordnance 
(including cluster bomblets). 
How many were injured? 
At least 42,500 civilians were reported wounded. 
The invasion phase caused 41% of all reported injuries. 
Explosive weaponry caused a higher ratio of injuries to deaths 
than small arms. 
The highest wounded-to-death ratio incidents occurred during the 
invasion phase. 
Who provided the information? 
Mortuary officials and medics were the most frequently cited 
witnesses. 
Three press agencies provided over one third of the reports 
used. 
Iraqi journalists are increasingly central to the reporting 
work. 
Speaking today at the launch of the report in London, Professor 
John Sloboda, FBA, one of the report's authors said: "The ever-
mounting Iraqi death toll is the forgotten cost of the decision 
to go to war in Iraq. On average, 34 ordinary Iraqis have met 
violent deaths every day since the invasion of March 2003. Our 
data show that no sector of Iraqi society has escaped. We 
sincerely hope that this research will help to inform decision-
makers around the world about the real needs of the Iraqi people 
as they struggle to rebuild their country. It remains a matter 
of the gravest concern that, nearly two and half years on, 
neither the US nor the UK governments have begun to 
systematically measure the impact of their actions in terms of 
human lives destroyed."

Two US marines killed in western Iraq
By: peopledaily.com on: 29.07.2005 [09:31 ] 


Two US marines were killed in clashes with insurgents in western 
Iraq, the US military said in a statement on Friday. 

The two, assigned to Regimental Combat Team-2 of the 2nd Marine 
Division, were killed on Thursday by insurgents who used small 
arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire in a village west of 
Haditha city, some 250 km west of Baghdad. 

The names of the victims were being withheld pending 
notification of next of kin, the statement said. 

In another statement, the US military said clashes erupted 
between US-Iraqi forces and insurgents, who attacked patrols in 
the same village. 

US warplanes responded with an air strike, which destroyed 
buildings used by insurgents as safe houses and firing 
positions, the statement said. 

"Iraqi security forces and coalition forces killed nine 
terrorists, five of whom were reportedly Syrian nationals," it 
said.

20 Flags Used For Soldier's Memorial Set On Fire Under Car

SPRINGDALE, Ohio -- Less than 24 hours after an Ohio soldier was 
buried, someone pulled up 20 American flags from his father-in-
law's front yard and set fire to them under a car in the 
driveway, according to WLWT-TV in Cincinnati. 

The family of Pfc. Timothy Hines and neighbors can't understand 
why someone would do that.

"If it wasn't random vandalism, what statement were they trying 
to make?" said Jim Wessels, Hines' father-in-law.

The car, belonging to Wessel's daughter, was burned beyond 
repair.

Members of a local church stepped in and helped clean up, and 
200 flags donated by family, friends and neighbors were put up 
around the lawn.

"I was in the military also," Don Hodges told WLWT-TV. "I 
understand some of what he had to go through before he was 
killed. And I appreciate all that the veterans done for the 
country."

Police are keeping a close eye on the neighborhood and vowed to 
find the vandals.

"What has happened to this family is a tragedy; what occurred 
this morning is despicable," said Fairfield police Chief Mike 
Dickey. "We will take every step to identify the persons 
responsible and hold them accountable."

Hines, 21, of Fairfield, died last week of injuries from a bomb 
explosion in Baghdad in June.

More than 400 family members and friends gathered for his 
funeral Friday. They watched a slideshow of his life from 
childhood to high school to his wedding.

Hines met his wife, Katy, at Cincinnati Christian School. They 
had a 2-year-old daughter, Lily, and Katy expects to give birth 
to their second child in about two weeks.

An anonymous donor gave Cincinnati Christian $130,000 to cover 
tuition for Hines' children.

"Tim was a fighter. He fought hard for his country, family and 
ultimately, his life. He was a loyal husband and father and an 
incredible American," a tearful Katy Hines said at the 
funeral. "There is a price for freedom and Tim paid the ultimate 
price. Now he is in the loving arms of God."

Hines was the gunner on a Humvee in a convoy when a bomb 
detonated on a highway on Father's Day. He suffered kidney and 
tissue damage and internal bleeding, and his right leg was 
amputated in a Baghdad hospital. He was having emergency surgery 
at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., when he 
died.

Army Brig. Gen. Patrick O'Reilly presented Hines' mother a 
Purple Heart, a Bronze Star and the Good Conduct Medal. Family 
members also received a visit from President Bush at the medical 
center earlier this month.

Hines was buried at Spring Grove Cemetery with full military 
honors.

  Decorated Marine Killed In Hit-And-Run Accident
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)   Insurgents launched coordinated attacks 
Thursday against Iraqi army checkpoints northeast of Baghdad, 
killing six Iraqi soldiers, police said. Roadside bombs killed 
two U.S. soldiers and ignited a train carrying fuel in the south 
of Iraq's capital. 

The attacks began about 2:30 p.m. against four Iraqi checkpoints 
along a road between Baqouba and Baghdad, 35 miles to the 
southwest, police Col. Mudhafar Mohammed said. 

Attackers fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades 
during the attacks, he said. Another police official, Col. 
Mohammed Hussein, said fighting was continuing into late 
afternoon and that at least eight people - three soldiers, four 
policemen and one civilian - had been wounded. 

There was no report of insurgent casualties. 

The attacks occurred a day after a total of three American 
soldiers died in two separate bombings - one in Samarra, 60 
miles north of the capital, and the other in northern Baghdad. 
Two U.S. soldiers died in the Baghdad attack. 

On Sunday, four American soldiers from Task Force Baghdad were 
killed when their vehicle ran over a roadside bomb in southwest 
Baghdad. 

As of Wednesday, at least 1,782 members of the U.S. military had 
died since the beginning of the Iraq war in 2003, according to 
an Associated Press count. 

On Thursday, a train carrying fuel exploded when it was hit by a 
roadside bomb in southern Baghdad, killing two people and 
wounding six others, police said. 

The attack, which sent a massive cloud of smoke over the 
southern part of the city, occurred in the southern neighborhood 
of Dora, an area where insurgents are known to be active, police 
Lt. Thaer Mahmoud said. 

The bomb appeared to have targeted a nearby police commando 
checkpoint, Mahmoud said. One of those killed and four of the 
injured are security force members, he said. The rest were 
civilians. 

It wasn't clear if the train, which was heading south, also was 
the target. 

Most of the wounded suffered serious burns, Thaer said. 

An Internet posting in the name of al-Qaida in Iraq, the 
country's most feared terror group, claimed responsibility for 
the train attack. 

The violence came a day after al-Qaida said it killed two 
kidnapped Algerian diplomats because of Algeria's ties to the 
United States and its crackdown on Islamic extremists. 


The diplomats' deaths brought to three the number of foreign 
envoys reported killed this month as part of a militant campaign 
to isolate Iraq's embattled government within the Arab and 
Muslim world. Two other apparent kidnapping attempts against 
diplomats were foiled. 

Algeria opposed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, although it has 
in recent years become a close U.S. ally, particularly in 
investigating and arresting Islamic extremists. Al-Qaida in 
Iraq, led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, linked the 
killing of the diplomats to the Algerian crackdown. 

Algeria's chief envoy Ali Belaroussi and fellow diplomat 
Azzedine Belkadi were slain because their government represses 
Muslims "in violation of God's will," said a chilling Internet 
statement posted in the name of al-Qaida in Iraq. 

The statement provided no photographic evidence of the deaths, 
and the statement's authenticity could not be confirmed. 

Belaroussi, 62, and Belkadi, 47, were dragged from their cars 
and kidnapped at gunpoint July 21 in Baghdad's upscale Mansour 
neighborhood. They appeared - blindfolded and in captivity - in 
a video posted Tuesday on the Internet. 

The Bush administration has been eager to maintain political 
momentum in Iraq, hoping a broad-based government can lure Sunni 
Arabs guerrillas away from the insurgency. A key step in that 
strategy is a new constitution, which is to be completed by Aug. 
15 and presented to the voters in a referendum two months later. 

On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld came to 
Baghdad to urge the Iraqis to finish the draft charter on 
time. "People are simply going to have to recognize that (in) 
any constitutional drafting process, compromise is necessary. 
It's important. It's understandable. It's the way democratic 
systems work," he said. 

In other developments: 

  The electricity ministry said six attacks in the last 10 days 
on the power grid has led to a reduction in the electricity 
supplies to Baghdad and nearby southern provinces, according to 
government newspaper al-Sabah. Power in Baghdad is down to a 
half an hour of electricity followed by a six-hour blackout.

Decorated Marine Killed In Hit-And-Run Accident 
Police Search For Dark-Colored Ford Ranger 

POSTED: 6:22 am PDT July 28, 2005 
UPDATED: 6:49 am PDT July 28, 2005 

SAN DIEGO   The Marine Corps says a man killed July 21 in a hit-
and-run traffic accident on Miramar Road was a sergeant from 
Colorado. 

Staff Sgt. Gregory C. Weitzel, 27, served in Iraq and received a 
Presidential Unit Citation while part of the 1st Marine 
Expeditionary Force in November 2003, Sgt. Joshua Stueve of the 
Marine Corps Air Station Miramar told the San Diego Union-
Tribune. 

Weitzel was killed while riding his motorcycle west on Miramar 
Road near Miramar Way. Weitzel was first struck by a Jeep 
Cherokee that pulled out of a parking lot headed east around 
4:15 p.m. 

The impact knocked the bike into the eastbound lanes, where 
Weitzel was hit a second time by a pickup. That driver did not 
stop. 

Authorities believe Weitzel was hit by a dark-colored late-model 
Ford Ranger with an extended cab, San Diego police Sgt. Jeff 
Fellows said.

BAGHDAD, July 28 (KUNA)   Three American soldiers were killed 
and six others injured in two separate attacks in the north of 
Baghdad yesterday, the Multinational force (MNF) said Thursday. 

A statement by the MNF said a US army soldier from the liberty 
force was killed and five others wounded when a roadside bomb 
exploded in Tirkit province. 

Two soldiers from the Baghdad force were killed and another 
injured on Wednesday when a bomb was detonated near their 
vehicle in northern Baghdad. 

The spate of violence has been ongoing since the US-led

BAGHDAD, July 27 (AFP) - A US soldier was killed and five others 
wounded Wednesday when a bomb exploded near their patrol in the 
Salah Ad Din Province, where the restive Sunni city of Tikrit is 
located, the US military said. 

Earlier in the day, US officials reported that four US soldiers 
had died in another bomb explosion Sunday in southwest Baghdad. 

The deaths brought the total number of US military personnel who 
have died in Iraq since the March 2003 invasion to 1,782, 
according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures.

CAMP STRIKER, Iraq   Four soldiers were killed Sunday by a 
roadside bomb in the deadliest attack on the 48th Brigade Combat 
Team since its mobilization. A fifth soldier was injured in the 
blast and, as of Monday morning, was being treated at a military 
hospital in Baghdad. 

The names and units of the soldiers are being withheld while the 
affected families are notified and to give those families time 
to grieve without exposure to the media, according to Army 
policy. 

 The brigade is saddened by this tragedy,  said brigade 
spokeswoman 2nd Lt. Selena Owens.  Our thoughts and prayers go 
out to the soldiers  families.  At about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, 
brigade infantry units were conducting a regular patrol on Route 
Aeros, when the roadside bomb exploded onto a Humvee truck in 
the convoy. The soldiers were taken to 86th Combat Support 
Hospital, where they were pronounced dead, Owens said. 

A second bomb exploded onto a team of investigators that was 
working at the site later Sunday. One soldier not affiliated 
with the brigade was injured in that blast and was being treated 
Monday at the Baghdad military hospital. The 48th brigade is 
responsible for the security of an area southwest of the Iraqi 
capital, and infantry units handle much of the necessary 
patrolling. Route Aeros, the main east-west thoroughfare south 
of Camp Striker, also is known by soldiers as  IED Alley,  
because so many improvised explosive devices have been detonated 
along it. 

Since arriving in Iraq, 61 members of the brigade have been 
wounded in action and, with this attack, five soldiers have 
died. Last month, infantry soldier Sgt. Chad Mercer of Waycross 
died after his Bradley fighting vehicle rolled while on patrol. 
Spc. Bruce Koshkin of Buford said when he learned of Sunday s 
deaths he thought of the families that were going through their 
normal lives back home and were about to get hit with 
devastating news.  I called my wife right after I got back 
here,  he said. Sgt. Jack Colburn of Carrollton said he also 
immediately thought of those back home. 

 It s heartbreaking,  Colburn said.  I think about the families 
first of all. Things go through your mind that you worry about 
your family, because I have a wife and two kids at home.  Owens 
said IED attacks are the work of terrorists.  Terrorists  only 
message is intimidation and terror,  Owens said.  The good 
citizens of Iraq do not have to live in fear. They have a 
choice.

No punch line, but the idea is funny!

He's all right now.

age, but that does not make him or the mother of his baby 
trailer trash! My husband was a damn good Marine! 
A damn good man and father.  What happened to him is a tragedy! 
NOT a "Hilarious Story" !! You try watching someone you love 
who is the biggest person in your eyes die in your arms! Then 
you tell me how "hilarious" it is!
How dare you pass such ignorant judegement on a man and a life 
that you don't even know!

Noam, you are my bitch. Now that I have you by the ears you will 
do EXACTLY as I say. 

If Noam were hair, he'd be a combover!

The slimy cunt is YOU!

NoHam posts two minutes later to correct herself.

What a slimey cunt.

It was 1,773 a couple of days ago, before the three died in 
Fallujah. 

The official tally (which we all know is depleted anyways) is 
itself not consistant with its own official reports. 

Based on official reports from the last couple of days, the 
official tally should be at least 1,777, and not 1,775. 

The more closely I look at the official statements, the more I 
become convinced that the official numbers released are bogus.

RAMADI, Iraq, July 24 (Xinhuanet)   Insurgents blew up two 
roadside bombs in Iraq's flash point western city of Ramadi on 
Sunday, destroying two US Humvees and causing some casualties, 
witnesses said. 

"A roadside bomb detonated at 8:00 a.m. (0400 GMT) as a US 
patrol was passing by in the Hasiyba al-Sharqiya area in eastern 
Ramadi, destroying a Humvee, killing and injuring the soldiers 
aboard," resident Hindi Muhmoud al-Dulaimi told Xinhua. 

"Shortly after, another US patrol was hit by a roadside bomb as 
it was rushing to the scene for rescue work. Another Humvee was 
destroyed," Dulaimi said. 

It was not clear whether there was any casualty among US 
soldiers in the second bomb attack, he added. 

US troops cordoned off the area and searched for suspects, 
Dulaimi said. 

Ramadi, some 110 km west of Baghdad, has been a bastion of 
insurgency against US troops since the US-led invasion in 2003.

U.S. soldier killed in attack in Afghan south 
One other American wounded by suspected Taliban guerrillas 


Updated: 9:46 a.m. ET July 24, 2005 
KABUL, Afghanistan - A U.S. soldier was killed and another 
wounded in an attack by suspected Taliban guerrillas in southern 
Afghanistan on Sunday, the latest American casualties in a surge 
of militant violence ahead of September elections. 

At least one militant was also killed and two wounded in the 
clash near the town of Giriskh in Helmand province, Lt. Col. 
Jerry O  Hara said, adding that an Afghan interpreter for U.S. 
forces was wounded. 

  The (U.S.) forces were on patrol, part of a regular operation 
against enemy forces, when they came under attack,   he said.

Man shot dead by police not connected to bombs 
Sat Jul 23, 2005 05:50 PM ET 

LONDON (Reuters) - Police acknowledged on Saturday the man they 
shot dead on Friday was not connected to bomb attacks on London 
the previous day, calling the shooting tragic and regrettable. 

"We are now satisfied that he was not connected with the 
incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005," police said in a 
statement. 

"For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a 
tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets," 
the police said. 

Police hunting four men who tried to bomb London's transport 
system on Thursday   two weeks after suicide bombers killed 52 
commuters   shot dead the man who had been under surveillance 
and refused orders to halt. 

The killing at point-blank range with five shots to the head in 
front of shocked passengers on a packed underground train 
triggered speculation that traditionally unarmed police had 
radically changed their iron-fist-in-velvet-glove approach. 

"The man emerged from a block of flats in the Stockwell area 
that were under police surveillance as part of the 
investigation into the incidents on Thursday 21st July. 

"He was then followed by surveillance officers to the 
underground station. His clothing and behaviour added to their 
suspicions," the statement said. 

It added that the circumstances that led to the man's death 
were being investigated. 

The killing had already been condemned by Muslim groups, who 
expressed shock at the news of the victim's innocence. 

"To give license to people to shoot to kill just like that, on 
the basis of suspicion, is very frightening," Azzam Tamimi of 
the Muslim Association of Britain told BBC television. 

"It is human lives that are being targeted here, whether by 
terrorists or in this case unfortunately by people who are 
supposed to be chasing or catching the terrorists." 

Former Scotland Yard (London police) commander John O'Connor 
told the BBC: "It is a shocking incident, and I think the 
consequences may be graver if he turns out to be a young 
Muslim."

... 
One witness to the killing, Mark Whitby, said that as that he 
saw the man as he entered the subway car. 

"The man got on the train I looked at his face. He looked from 
left to right, but he basically looked like a cornered rabbit, 
like a cornered fox. He looked absolutely petrified. He sort of 
tripped but they were hotly pursuing him and couldn't have been 
more than two or three feet behind him at this time. They 
unloaded five shots into him. I saw it. He's dead, five shots, 
he's dead," Whitby said. 

This is now an unwinnable conflict
By: Patrick Cockburn, Independent on: 24.07.2005 [11:15 ] (713

  As he completes another tour of duty in the chaos of Iraq, 
award-winning reporter Patrick Cockburn charts how Bush and 
Blair's 'winnable war' turned into a mess that is inspiring a 
worldwide insurgency 
Published: 24 July 2005 
 
The war in Iraq is now joining the Boer War in 1899 and the Suez 
crisis in 1956 as ill-considered ventures that have done Britain 
more harm than good. It has demonstrably strengthened al-Qa'ida 
by providing it with a large pool of activists and sympathisers 
across the Muslim world it did not possess before the invasion 
of 2003. The war, which started out as a demonstration of US 
strength as the world's only superpower, has turned into a 
demonstration of weakness. Its 135,000-strong army does not 
control much of Iraq. 

The suicide bombing campaign in Iraq is unique. Never before 
have so many fanatical young Muslims been willing to kill 
themselves, trying to destroy those whom they see as their 
enemies. On a single day in Baghdad this month 12 bombers blew 
themselves up. There have been more than 500 suicide attacks in 
Iraq over the last year. 

It is this campaign which has now spread to Britain and Egypt. 
The Iraq war has radicalised a significant part of the Muslim 
world. Most of the bombers in Iraq are non-Iraqi, but the 
network of sympathisers and supporters who provide safe houses, 
money, explosives, detonators, vehicles and intelligence is home-
grown. 

The shrill denials by Tony Blair and Jack Straw that hostility 
to the invasion of Iraq motivated the bombers are demonstrably 
untrue. The findings of an investigation, to be published soon, 
into 300 young Saudis, caught and interrogated by Saudi 
intelligence on their way to Iraq to fight or blow themselves 
up, shows that very few had any previous contact with al-Qa'ida 
or any other terrorist organisation previous to 2003. It was the 
invasion of Iraq which prompted their decision to die. 

Some 36 Saudis who did blow themselves up in Iraq did so for 
similar reasons, according to the same study, commissioned by 
the Saudi government and carried out by a US-trained Saudi 
researcher, Nawaf Obaid, who was given permission to speak to 
Saudi intelligence officers. A separate Israeli study of 154 
foreign fighters in Iraq, carried out by the Global Research in 
International Affairs Centre in Israel, also concluded that 
almost all had been radicalised by Iraq alone. 

Before Iraq, those who undertook suicide bombings were a small, 
hunted group; since the invasion they have become a potent 
force, their ideology and tactics adopted by militant Islamic 
groups around the world. Their numbers may still not be very 
large but they are numerous enough to create mayhem in Iraq and 
anywhere else they strike, be it in London or Sharm el Sheikh. 

The bombers have paralysed Baghdad. I have spent half my time 
living in Iraq since the invasion. The country has never been so 
dangerous as today. Some targets have been hit again and again. 
The army recruiting centre at al-Muthana old municipal airport 
in the middle of Baghdad has been attacked no fewer than eight 
times, the last occasion on Wednesday when eight people were 
killed. 

The detonations of the suicide bombs make my windows shake in 
their frames in my room in the al-Hamra hotel. Sometimes, 
thinking the glass is going to shatter, I take shelter behind a 
thick wall. The hotel is heavily guarded. At one time the man 
who looked for bombs under cars entering the compound with a 
mirror on the end of a stick carried a pistol in his right hand. 
He reckoned that if he did discover a suicide bomber he had a 
split second in which to shoot him in the head before the driver 
detonated his bomb. 

The bombers, or rather the defences against them, have altered 
the appearance of Baghdad. US army and Iraqi government 
positions in Baghdad are surrounded by ramparts of enormous 
cement blocks which snake through the city. Manufactured in 
different sizes, each of which is named after a different 
American state such as Arkansas and Wisconsin, these concrete 
megaliths are strangling the city by closing off so many 
streets. 

For all the newspaper and television coverage of Iraq, the 
foreign media still fail to convey the lethal and anarchic 
quality of day-to-day living. The last time I drove into west 
Baghdad from the airport in early July we were suddenly stopped 
by the sound of volleys of shots. This turned out to be the 
police commandos, a 12,000-strong paramilitary force which is 
meant to be the cutting edge of the government offensive against 
the insurgents. On this occasion they had loaded coffins wrapped 
in Iraqi flags, containing the bodies of two of their officers 
murdered that morning, on to the backs of their pick-ups and 
were weaving through the traffic, firing over our heads. Drivers 
slammed on their brakes since people detained by the commandos, 
often for no known reason, are often found later in rubbish 
dumps, having been tortured and executed. 

The government, whose members seldom emerge from the Green Zone, 
make bizarre efforts to pretend that there are signs of a return 
to normality. Last week a pro-government newspaper had an 
article on the reconstruction of Baghdad. Above the article was 
a picture of a crane at a building site. But there are no cranes 
at work in Baghdad so the paper had been compelled to use a 
photograph of a crane which has been rusting for more than two 
years, abandoned at the site of a giant mosque that Saddam 
Hussein was constructing when he was overthrown. 

The same quality of make-believe mars British and American 
policy in Iraq. The current motto of both governments is 
to "stay the course in Iraq". This may be useful propaganda at 
home but Iraqi government officials counter that London and 
Washington have no "course" in Iraq, only a policy of endless 
zig-zags. 

For future historians Iraq will probably replace Vietnam as the 
stock example of the truth of Wellington's dictum about small 
wars escalating into big ones. Ironically, the US and Britain 
pretended in 2003 that Saddam ruled a powerful state capable of 
menacing his neighbours. Secretly they believed this was untrue 
and expected an easy victory. 

Now in 2005 they find to their horror that there are people in 
Iraq more truly dangerous than Saddam, and they are mired in an 
un-winnable conflict.

More Americans see Iraq War fuelling terror
By: icWales on: 23.07.2005 [09:30 ] (108 reads)
 
 
(3522 bytes)    

A growing number of Americans fear the war in Iraq is 
undermining the fight against terrorism and raising the risk of 
terrorist attacks in the US, a poll found. 

Almost half, 47%, say the war in Iraq has hurt the fight 
against terrorism - the highest number to say that since the 
war began in March 2003, according to the Pew Research Centre 
for the People & the Press. 

And about the same number, 45%, said soon after the first round 
of tube bombings in London that the war in Iraq was raising the 
risk of terrorism in America. That's up from 36% last autumn. 

But increased doubts about the effects of the Iraq war have 
significantly changed an overall support for the efforts to 
establish democracy in Iraq. 

About half the public, 52%, favours staying in Iraq until the 
country is stabilised and about the same number, 49%, support 
the decision to go to war. 

Meanwhile, police tightened security in an upmarket Baghdad 
neighbourhood yesterday as the search intensified for two 
Algerian diplomats kidnapped there. At least 16 people died in 
attacks in Baghdad and elsewhere. 

More police were on the streets and motorists reported extra 
checkpoints yesterday in the western Baghdad neighbourhood of 
Mansour, where top Algerian envoy Ali Belaroussi, 62, and 
fellow Algerian diplomat, Azzedine Belkadi, 47, were seized the 
day before. They were not travelling with bodyguards, officials 
said. 

The kidnappings brought to five the number of key diplomats 
from Islamic countries targeted in Baghdad in less than three 
weeks in an attempt to undermine support for the Iraqi 
government among Arab and Muslim nations. 

Police officials said they suspected the diplomats and their 
kidnappers may still be in the Mansour area because witnesses 
reported the abduction too quickly for the gunmen to have gone 
far. 

Egypt's top envoy, Ihab al-Sherif, was seized at gunpoint in 
another western Baghdad neighbourhood on July 2, also without 
security. Three days later, gunmen opened fire on senior envoys 
from Pakistan and Bahrain in separate attacks police described 
as kidnap attempts. 

The Pakistani diplomat's security guards returned fire and the 
assailants fled. The Bahraini, who was slightly wounded, had no 
bodyguards, but a traffic policeman saw the attack, fired his 
pistol in the air and the assailants fled, police said. 

Al-Qaida's wing in Iraq, the country's most feared terror 
group, claimed responsibility in Web statements for kidnapping 
al-Sherif and later claimed to have killed him. It warned 
Muslim nations against ties with Baghdad. 

Also in Baghdad, gunmen fired on a car carrying a newlywed 
couple and their families on Friday, killing the 23-year-old 
bride and wounding the Iraqi army captain she had just married. 

The attack came after Iraqi army Capt. Wissam Abdul-Wahab and 
his new bride, Sally, were picked up by their families after 
spending their wedding night at a hotel. They were ambushed in 
Baghdad's southern Dora neighbourhood. 

"My poor Sally, she was very happy yesterday," sobbed her 
mother-in-law Latifah Mohammed. 

Four people - one Iraqi soldier and three civilians - were 
killed in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, during clashes 
there, police said. The other 11 victims were Iraqi police or 
soldiers killed in scattered, small-scale attacks throughout 
Baghdad. 

Stressed US troops in Iraq 'turning to drugs'

Two years into the occupation of Iraq the menace of drug abuse 
appears to be afflicting American troops. 


Aware of the debilitating effect drugs had on the morale and 
effectiveness of GIs in the Vietnam War, the authorities are 
attempting to stifle a repeat in Iraq. 

Aside from random urine tests and barrack room searches, 
commanders have asked their troops to inform on colleagues. 

In the past month a soldier has been arrested for selling 
cocaine and two per cent of the troops from one brigade have 
been charged with drug and alcohol abuse. 

According to US army figures, out of the 4,000 men of the 256th 
Brigade Combat Team, 53 faced alcohol-related charges and 48 
were charged with drug offences. 

Since the overthrow of Saddam's regime the borders that have 
been so porous for insurgents have been equally open for heroin 
and hash smugglers from Afghanistan and Iran providing a cheap 
market for troops. With colleagues being killed or wounded on a 
daily basis, some US soldiers have turned to drugs to escape 
the horrors of fighting insurgents. 

In one case, according to Stars and Stripes, the in-house US 
forces newspaper, Sgt Michael Boudreaux was found with drugs, 
four bottles of whiskey and 22 videos of Iraqi pornography. He 
received a seven month confinement, was demoted to private and 
given a bad conduct discharge. 

In another case, Pte Emily Hamilton told a court martial that 
she used a hashish pipe belonging to a colleague because "it 
helped me go right to sleep". She was given a year's 
confinement and a bad conduct discharge. 

"Some of these young soldiers just can't handle the stress," 
said Capt Christopher Krafchek, a military defence lawyer. 

The majority of drug-users are in their teens or early 20s, and 
sometimes get their drugs from local Iraqis while on patrol in 
Baghdad. 

Troops caught in possession of illegal substances are either 
jailed, demoted or discharged from the forces.

Man shot dead by police not connected to bombs 
Sat Jul 23, 2005 05:50 PM ET 

LONDON (Reuters) - Police acknowledged on Saturday the man they 
shot dead on Friday was not connected to bomb attacks on London 
the previous day, calling the shooting tragic and regrettable. 

"We are now satisfied that he was not connected with the 
incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005," police said in a 
statement. 

"For somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a 
tragedy and one that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets," 
the police said. 

Police hunting four men who tried to bomb London's transport 
system on Thursday   two weeks after suicide bombers killed 52 
commuters   shot dead the man who had been under surveillance 
and refused orders to halt. 

The killing at point-blank range with five shots to the head in 
front of shocked passengers on a packed underground train 
triggered speculation that traditionally unarmed police had 
radically changed their iron-fist-in-velvet-glove approach. 

"The man emerged from a block of flats in the Stockwell area 
that were under police surveillance as part of the 
investigation into the incidents on Thursday 21st July. 

"He was then followed by surveillance officers to the 
underground station. His clothing and behaviour added to their 
suspicions," the statement said. 

It added that the circumstances that led to the man's death 
were being investigated. 

The killing had already been condemned by Muslim groups, who 
expressed shock at the news of the victim's innocence. 

"To give license to people to shoot to kill just like that, on 
the basis of suspicion, is very frightening," Azzam Tamimi of 
the Muslim Association of Britain told BBC television. 

"It is human lives that are being targeted here, whether by 
terrorists or in this case unfortunately by people who are 
supposed to be chasing or catching the terrorists." 

Former Scotland Yard (London police) commander John O'Connor 
told the BBC: "It is a shocking incident, and I think the 
consequences may be graver if he turns out to be a young 
Muslim."

... 
One witness to the killing, Mark Whitby, said that as that he 
saw the man as he entered the subway car. 

"The man got on the train I looked at his face. He looked from 
left to right, but he basically looked like a cornered rabbit, 
like a cornered fox. He looked absolutely petrified. He sort of 
tripped but they were hotly pursuing him and couldn't have been 
more than two or three feet behind him at this time. They 
unloaded five shots into him. I saw it. He's dead, five shots, 
he's dead," Whitby said.

Um, Noam. The number of Americans killed in this war pales in 
comparison to the number of terrorists and militants the 
Americans have exterminated.

Just a reminder: when school starts later next month, you will 
be riding the short bus.

Most soldiers in Iraq report low unit morale: army study
By: Various on: 20.07.2005 [18:54 ] (503 reads)
  
 
(7314 bytes)    

WASHINGTON (AFP) Jul 20, 2005 
More than half of US soldiers serving in Iraq reported low or 
very low unit morale in an army survey conducted last year, an 
army mental health advisory team reported Wednesday. 
However, the team, which conducted the assessment in Iraq and 
Kuwait from late August to mid-October 2004, found that 
conditions had improved over the previous year, when 72 percent 
of soldiers reported low or very low unit morale. 

"Deployment length remains a top concern for OIF-II soldiers," 
the report said, referring to soldiers who served in Operation 
Iraqi Freedom during 2004. 

"Fifty-four percent of OIF-II soldiers reported their unit moral 
as low or very low," it said. Only nine percent reported high or 
very high unit morale. 

The report said 36 percent reported low or very low personal 
morale, an improvement over 2003, when 52 percent reported low 
personal morale. 

Key sources of combat stress were incoming rocket and mortar 
fire and improvised explosive devices, which soldiers were 
encountering at a higher rate in 2004 than in 2003, the report 
said. 

The main source of non-combat stress reported by soldiers was 
the long combat tour of duty in Iraq, with 52 percent expressing 
high or very high concern about the issue, 16 percent moderate 
concern, and 32 percent low or very low concern. 

Some 41 percent of the soldiers also reported high or very high 
concern over the uncertainty of their redeployment date. But 
that was down from 87 percent of soldiers surveyed in 2003. 

The report said fewer soldiers screened positively for mental 
health problems in the 2004 survey than in 2003   13 percent 
compared with 18 percent. 

Acute or postraumatic stress symptoms remained the top concern, 
affecting at least 10 percent of OIF-II soldiers, down from 15 
percent in 2003. 

In the 2004 survey, 17 percent of soldiers reported moderate or 
severe stress or emotional, alcohol or family problems. That 
compared with 23 percent in 2003 and 14 percent in a pre-
deployment sample. 

The assessment found that soldiers in National Guard and reserve 
units involved in transportation or combat support had 
significantly higher rates of mental health problems and lower 
perceptions of combat readiness and training than soldiers in 
other units. 

"Overall, 17 percent of soldiers from transportation and support 
units screened positive for one of these conditions, compared 
with 13 to 14 percent of soldiers from combat arms units, and 
eight percent of all other unit types," the report said. 

The incidence of acute stress or post traumatic stress disorder 
in transportation and support units was 19 percent, compared 
with 11 percent in combat units and seven percent in other types 
of units. 

The mental health assessment was first conducted in July 2003 
because of concerns over a spike in suicides among soldiers 
serving in Iraq. 

The latest assessment said the suicide rate among soldiers 
serving in Iraq and Kuwait has dropped from 18 per 100,000 
soldiers in 2003 to 8.5 per 100,000, which is below the army's 
average annual rate for the past nine years.

Soldiers in Iraq battle psychological stress 

By The Associated Press 

WASHINGTON (AP)   A majority of U.S. soldiers in Iraq say morale 
is low, according to an Army report that finds psychological 
stress is weighing particularly heavily on National Guard and 
Reserve troops. 
Still, soldiers' mental health has improved from the early 
months of the insurgency, and suicides have declined sharply, 
the report said. Also, substantially fewer soldiers had to be 
evacuated from Iraq for mental health problems last year. 

The Army sent a team of mental health specialists to Iraq and 
Kuwait late last summer to assess conditions and measure 
progress in implementing programs designed to fix mental health 
problems discovered during a similar survey of troops a year 
earlier. Its report, dated Jan. 30, 2005, was released 
Wednesday. 

Inquiry triggered by suicides 

The initial inquiry was triggered in part by an unusual surge in 
suicides among soldiers in Iraq in July 2003. Wednesday's report 
said the number of suicides in Iraq and Kuwait declined from 24 
in 2003 to nine last year. 

A suicide prevention program was begun for soldiers in Iraq at 
the recommendation of the 2003 assessment team. 

The overall assessment said 13 percent of soldiers in the most 
recent study screened positive for a mental health problem, 
compared with 18 percent a year earlier. Symptoms of acute or 
post-traumatic stress remained the top mental health problem, 
affecting at least 10 percent of all soldiers checked in the 
latest survey. 

In the anonymous survey, 17 percent of soldiers said they had 
experienced moderate or severe stress or problems with alcohol, 
emotions or their families. That compares with 23 percent a year 
earlier. 

Better conditions 

The report said reasons for the improvement in mental health are 
not clear. Among possible explanations: less frequent and less 
intense combat, more comforts like air conditioning, wider 
access to mental health services and improved training in 
handling the stresses associated with deployments and combat. 

National Guard and Reserve soldiers who serve in transportation 
and support units suffered more than others from depression, 
anxiety and other indications of acute psychological stress, the 
report said. These soldiers have often been targets of the 
insurgents' lethal ambushes and roadside bombs, although the 
report said they had significantly fewer actual combat 
experiences than soldiers assigned to combat units. 

The report recommended that the Army reconsider whether National 
Guard and Reserve support troops are getting adequate training 
in combat skills. 

Even though they do less fighting than combat troops, they might 
be better suited to cope with wartime stress if they had more 
confidence in their combat skills, it said. 

Only 55 percent of National Guard support soldiers said they 
have "real confidence" in their unit's ability to perform its 
mission, compared with 63 percent of active-duty Army support 
soldiers. And only 28 percent of the Guard troops rated their 
level of training as high, compared with 50 percent of their 
active-duty counterparts. 

Small focus groups were held to ascertain troop morale. 

The report said 54 percent of soldiers rated their units' morale 
as low or very low. The comparable figure in a year-earlier Army 
survey was 72 percent. Although respondents said "combat 
stressors" like mortar attacks were higher in the most recent 
survey, "noncombat stressors" like uncertain tour lengths were 
much lower, the report said. 

The thing that bothered soldiers the most, the latest assessment 
said, was the length of their required stay in Iraq. At the 
start of the war, most were deployed for six months, but now 
they go for 12 months. 

Asked about this, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told a 
Pentagon news conference that the Army's 12-month requirement is 
linked in part to its effort to complete a fundamental 
reorganization of fighting units. 

"I've tried to get the Army to look at the length of tours and I 
think at some point down the road they will," he said.

IRAQ: THE PHONY 'WITHDRAWAL'
PERMANENT BASES - AND THE NEXT WAR

By Justin Raimondo

Last September, conservative columnist Robert Novak predicted 
the Bush administration would soon start withdrawing from Iraq:

"Inside the Bush administration policymaking apparatus, there is 
strong feeling that U.S. troops must leave Iraq next year. This 
determination is not predicated on success in implanting Iraqi 
democracy and internal stability. Rather, the officials are 
saying: Ready or not, here we go."

Pat Buchanan, too   like Novak, a conservative opponent of this 
war   saw the battle for Fallujah and the siege of Najaf as 
turning points that signaled a U-turn on the road to Empire:

"The neoconservative dream was to create a pro-American, free-
market democracy in Iraq to serve as a model and catalyst for 
Arab peoples and convert Iraq into a base camp of American 
Empire, flanking Iran and Syria. It was to bring to power an 
Iraqi DeGaulle named Ahmed Chalabi, who would recognize Israel, 
build a Mosul-to-Haifa oil pipeline and become the Simon Bolivar 
of the Middle East. 

"That utopian vision has vanished. President Bush has rejoined 
the realist camp. We are not going deeper in. We are on the way 
out."

Now it appears their predictions have been confirmed. A leaked 
memo by British Defense Secretary John Reid detailing plans for 
an Anglo-American drawdown is making the rounds: the various 
news accounts, while stressing that the document is based on a 
number of contingencies, contain no strong denials from 
government officials on either side of the Atlantic. It's a 
matter not of if we begin withdrawing American troops, according 
to Pentagon officials, but when and how many. 

Professor Juan Cole, of the University of Michigan and an Iraq 
expert of note, gives voice to the bewilderment of many   both 
pro- and antiwar   when he asks: "What in the world, then, is 
actually going on?"

Cole foresees the de facto abdication of a unitary state in 
Iraq, with the Kurds achieving something more than mere autonomy 
and the nine southern provinces handed over to the Shi'ite party 
militias and the nascent U.S.-trained Iraqi 
military. "Ironically," he writes, 

"The peace groups who have been demanding a rapid U.S. 
withdrawal have in recent months been closer to Pentagon 
thinking than they could have imagined."

Note quite, unfortunately. 

It is true that the locus of opposition to this war within our 
government was concentrated, first of all, in the top echelons 
of the military, as well as in the CIA: the largely involuntary 
retirement of General Eric Shinseki, who was personally and 
publicly taken to task by Paul Wolfowitz for saying that the 
occupation of Iraq would requires a force upwards of 200,000, 
made the split between the suits and the uniforms so public that 
the neocons began calling on the generals to pipe down, 
hypocritically citing the alleged danger to our republican 
institutions if a man (or woman) in uniform was so impertinent 
as to believe that their opinions mattered. After all, who is 
better qualified to plan the execution and aftermath of a 
complex military operation   some policy wonk with delusions of 
grandeur, or the military professionals? To the neocons, this 
question answered itself   an exhibition of comic-opera conceit 
that gave rise to the "chickenhawk" meme. 

So, yes, the thinking of many high-ranking officers has 
paralleled that of peace groups, a seemingly odd confluence 
covered more than once in this space. Yet it is important to 
understand that, short of a military coup, the job of the 
generals is to implement policy, not make it. They are the 
instruments of those who hold the real power. When it comes to 
foreign policy, this means the White House, and there can be 
little doubt as to what the preferred policy is there.

What the Bush administration has said time and time again is 
that they seek nothing less than the "democratic transformation" 
of the Middle East   nay, the world. Like some Bolshevik orator 
of old, the president has declared his revolutionary intentions:

"Because we have acted in the great liberating tradition of this 
nation, tens of millions have achieved their freedom. And as 
hope kindles hope, millions more will find it. By our efforts we 
have lit a fire as well, a fire in the minds of men. It warms 
those who feel its power; it burns those who fight its progress. 
And one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest 
corners of our world."

What could be clearer? The neo-Jacobin spirit that animates 
those who relentlessly agitated for this war, far from being 
humbled by apparent failure, is instead emboldened. Having lied 
us into war, they are eager to do so again   and this ambition 
is not necessarily inconsistent with a general drawdown in Iraq. 
Aside from that, however, the War Party has succeeded in winning 
a Middle East beachhead. The troop numbers may be reduced, but 
those remaining will retreat to permanent bases that are already 
being built. 

The American goal of establishing permanent bases in Iraq has 
not received the degree of attention required by the relative 
importance of the subject. Matt Yglesias, a writer for The 
American Prospect now blogging over at Talkingpoints Caf , 
trenchantly described this project as "the elephant in the 
corner of American Iraq policy." Kevin Drum, of the Washington 
Monthly, concurred:
Of course the White House wants permanent military bases in 
Iraq. Just look at a map. As long as we have bases in Iraq and 
Afghanistan we have easy access to all of the Middle East and 
Central Asia   and of the two Iraq is by far the most central 
and most critical.

"Like Matt, I'm also a little surprised this doesn't get more 
attention. You can argue all day long about whether permanent 
U.S. bases in Iraq are a good idea or not, but the Bush 
administration has made it plainly obvious that they want them. 
Why then does there seem to be an underlying assumption in press 
accounts that as soon as everything calms down we'll pull out 
our troops and leave? The odds of that happening are slim and 
none."

The elephant is due to come out of its corner soon enough   and 
this is the real issue, not the troop levels. 

GlobalSecurity.org, a useful resource for researchers in this 
field, has identified 106 American bases in Iraq as of mid-May: 
the plan is to consolidate U.S. forces in anywhere from 14 to 
4 "enduring" bases, as part of a strategy involving a less 
visibly intrusive American presence. Remaining troops would 
reside in hardened facilities, meant to last many years. 
Congress appropriated the money for this in the May 2005 
supplemental requested by the White House, with little debate as 
to the implications. Also included in this package: the 
construction of the world's largest embassy, occupying 104 
acres, housing 1,020 staff and 500 guards, and commanding a 
budget of some $20 billion. 

What's all this talk about a pending American withdrawal from 
Iraq? It doesn't look to me like we're going anywhere   except 
deeper into the Middle East. As Thomas Donnelly, Clausewitz-in-
residence over at the American Enterprise Institute, so subtly 
put it:

"The operational advantages of U.S. bases in Iraq should be 
obvious for other power-projection missions in the region."

Once these put down roots so deep that   as Chalmers Johnson 
points out in his critique of our "empire of bases"   they take 
on a self-sustaining economic and political dynamic that ensures 
their enduring character, these outposts of Empire become like 
rocks in the rushing stream. Leaping from the homeland to 
American bases in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Horn of 
Africa, U.S. military units can project American power anywhere 
on earth. 

This is no longer just about Iraq. Think of that shattered 
country as a launching pad, and our policymakers as scientists 
involved in a great experiment. They are tinkering with the 
rocket design, experimenting with different fuels, and just 
beginning to build the facilities they need to make their 
project soar. 

Forget the war we are losing   the guerrilla war that is now 
tearing Iraq apart, threatening to initiate a three-sided (at 
least) civil war and a descent into ungovernable chaos. The 
problem these neoconservatives   erm, I mean scientists   have 
set out to solve is how to fuel the next war. 

Forget about the number of American soldiers stationed in Iraq. 
The regional troop level may rise, even as the numbers in Iraq 
sink. American bases are strung along the sultanates and emir-
doms of the Gulf, in Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait, with plenty of 
room to accommodate forces brought in from other theaters. The 
withdrawal of troops from Iraq, far from being a sign that peace 
is about to break, could augur a fresh conflict.

As an unsigned analysis coming out of Stratfor.com put it in May 
of last year, the "strategic goal" of the Bush administration 
wasn't to implant "democracy" or even to ensure the stability 
and unity of Iraq, but "to acquire projection capabilities from 
within Iraq that would allow Washington to pressure the entire 
Middle East, from Iran to Saudi Arabia to Egypt."

These future wars would never come off, however, "if U.S. troops 
were bogged down in a guerrilla war with no end in sight." No, 
that would never do. The present situation is "untenable," which 
is why it is thought necessary to move troops "out of harm's 
way"   without, of course, Washington "abandoning its broader 
goals in the Middle East." Yes, the Iraqi state midwifed by 
American troops seems to be stillborn, or perhaps fated for an 
early death, but we'll muddle through somehow if we keep 
our "broader goals" in mind. Besides which, we never really 
cared that much about building "democracy," in the short term at 
least. Or, as the Stratfor analyst put it:

"The United States does not want   and it has no interest in   
policing Iraq, day in and day out. The U.S. goal is to be able 
to pressure Iraq's neighbors, not to babysit the Iraqis."

So, what to do? Stratfor lays out three options, one of which   
complete withdrawal   is "unrealistic." How so? "Not only would 
it be an embarrassment, it would be a strategic failure of 
mammoth proportions." Yeah, that sounds pretty bad, until one 
asks: why is that an undesirable outcome? After all, it depends 
on what sort of policy our strategy has been founded on: 
the "strategic failure" of a bad policy   a murderous, costly, 
and immoral policy of conquest and the pursuit of Empire   would 
be a good thing, provided that failure is acknowledged and the 
right lesson learned. 

In any case, withdrawal was rejected out of hand, and that left 
two options: should we base our new "on the downlow" occupation, 
otherwise known as Occupation Lite, in a lot of mid-
sized "enclaves" clustered around the major cities, or ensconce 
ourelves in a few humongous fortresses stuck way out in the 
boondocks, completely isolated from the civil war sure to break 
out? In Washington they favor the "enclave" option, but the 
officers in the field are opposed: if we're going to take cover 
and await further orders   perhaps a move into Syria, or even 
Lebanon, and surely a clash with Iran somewhere down the road   
then let's do it in impregnable fortresses, where we don't have 
to engage the insurgency. 

Look at the Big Picture through the perceptive eyes of foreign 
policy analyst Chalmers Johnson, who notes in his book, Sorrows 
of Empire, that conquerors of all eras have built encampments 
and forts in subject provinces, but there is something unique 
about the Americans:

"What is most fascinating and curious about the developing 
American form of empire, however, is that, in its modern phase, 
it is solely an empire of bases, not of territories, and these 
bases now encircle the earth in a way that, despite centuries-
old dreams of global domination, would previously have been 
inconceivable."

Aside from the interest groups that benefit economically from a 
policy of militarism and perpetual war, and such factors as 
securing oil and other resources, Johnson sees

"Something else at work, which I believe is the post-Cold War 
discovery of our immense power, rationalized by the self-
glorifying conclusion that because we have it we deserve to have 
it. The only truly common elements in the totality of America's 
foreign bases are imperialism and militarism-an impulse on the 
part of our elites to dominate other peoples largely because we 
have the power to do so, followed by the strategic reasoning 
that, in order to defend these newly acquired outposts and 
control the regions they are in, we must expand the areas under 
our control with still more bases. To maintain its empire, the 
Pentagon must constantly invent new reasons for keeping in our 
hands as many bases as possible long after the wars and crises 
that led to their creation have evaporated."

Think of the American Empire as a series of lily-pads strung 
across the great Pond of the world. Our agile forces can leap, 
froglike, from one pad to another, to and fro, back and forth, 
over oceans and across continents in pursuit of the Bad Guys. 
Whether it be the sudden need for "regime change" in the Middle 
East, or assistance to yet another "peoples' revolution" inside 
the former Soviet Union, these fortresses of Empire are the 
essential infrastructure of our strategic doctrine of military 
preemption.

The goal of that doctrine is world hegemony, and the immediate 
objective is the Middle East. Those Iraqi installations going up 
at great cost   and great profit to the Cheney-connected 
Halliburton   are the forward bases for our next strike, which 
is even now being whispered about in the corridors of power. 

Withdrawal? What withdrawal? We're only getting ready for the 
next war.

Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that both 
President Putin (Russia) and President Hu (China) have ordered 
the immediate activation of 10 Combat Ready Divisions to counter 
the increasingly aggressive moves being made by the United 
States in the Caspian Oil Regions of Central Asia. Special 
Forces Army Units of both Russian Spetsnaz and Chinese Immediate 
Action Units were also ordered to be immediately deployed to 
both Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to surround the large American 
Military bases in those regions, and that the governments of 
both of these countries have ordered the Americans to leave. 

The government of Uzbekistan had called first for these actions, 
and as we can read as reported by the Indian National Newspaper 
Hindu News Service in their article titled "Uzbekistan steps up 
pressure on U.S. to close base" and which says, "Uzbekistan is 
stepping up pressure on the United States to withdraw its air 
base set up in the Central Asian country for operations in 
neighbouring Afghanistan. Uzbekistan also said that the United 
States had not paid takeoff and landing fees, as well as 
compensation for security services, new infrastructure, 
ecological damage and inconvenience to the local population. 

The statement was issued two days after the Shanghai Cooperation 
Organisation called for the United States and its coalition 
allies in Afghanistan to set a date for withdrawing their 
military bases from Central Asia. Last month Uzbekistan 
introduced severe restrictions on American flights from the 
Khanabad base forcing the U.S. command to redeploy some aircraft 
to Afghanistan. Kyrgyzstan has joined Uzbekistan in calling on 
Washington to shut down its air base near the Kyrgyz capital 
Bishkek." 

The government of Kyrgyzstan has also called for the Americans 
to leave their country, and as we can read as reported by the 
RIA Novosti News Service in their article titled "Kyrgyz 
ambassador: U.S. base must go, Russia's should stay" and which 
says, "The United States' military base near the Manas Airport, 
in the Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan, must go and 
Russia's, at Kant, should stay, the Kyrgyz Ambassador to Russia 
said Monday at a press conference here. Apas Jumagulov recalled 
the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit 
explaining the need for the Manas base's withdrawal by the fact 
that the situation in the neighboring Afghanistan was returning 
to normal." 

The actions of the United States Military Leaders though to 
these demands to leave have been met instead with their 
increasing their combat capabilities in both Uzbekistan and 
Kyrgyzstan, and in total disregard to both Russian and Chinese 
warnings issued to them, and of which can read as reported by 
the USA Today News Service in their article titled "China, 
Russia-led alliance wants date for U.S pullout" and which says; 

"A regional alliance led by China and Russia called Tuesday for 
the U.S. and its coalition allies in Afghanistan to set a date 
for withdrawing from several states in Central Asia, reflecting 
growing unease at America's military presence in the region. The 
Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which groups Russia, China, 
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, urged a 
deadline be set for withdrawal of the foreign forces from its 
member states in light of what it said was a decline in active 
fighting in Afghanistan. The alliance's move appeared to be an 
attempt to push the United States out of a region that Moscow 
regards as historically part of its sphere of influence and in 
which China seeks a dominant role because of its extensive 
energy resources." 

Angering President Putin also has been the United States 
pressuring the European Union to attempt to take away Russia s 
vast oil resources, and as we can read as reported by the Moscow 
Times News Service in their article titled "Putin s Aide Warns 
of Finno-Ugric Conspiracy to Seize Russia s Oil Assets" and 
which says, "The deputy head of Russia s presidential 
administration, Vladislav Surkov, has said that foreigners are 
accusing Russia of oppressing provinces that are home to Finno-
Ugric nations and  strategic resources  of oil..Speaking at a 
meeting with Russian businessmen, Vladislav Surkov said,  Today, 
Finland, Estonia and the European Union have become markedly 
more intense on the topic of Finno-Ugric nations. It turns out 
that we oppress them somehow. They allegedly have no rights in 
our country. Regions where those nations are dominant have 
strategic resources of our oil. I am not a follower of a 
conspiracy theory. But this is evidently a planned action.  

Moscow Officials further report that upon hearing of these 
latest moves by the United States against Russia President Putin 
remarked,  Then let s see how well they are prepared when the UN 
orders them (the Americans) to return California to Mexico.  

To the Western peoples it still appears that they believe this 
American War upon the World is based on  terrorism , but to the 
rest of the World it has long been known what the Military 
Leaders of the United States were planning, and even to as far 
back as 1998 were the warnings of these wars being reported, and 
as exampled by one such warning issued by the World Socialist 
Web Site News Service in their article titled "New Caspian oil 
interests fuel US war drive against Iraq" and which had said; 

"Powerful geo-political interests are fueling the American war 
drive. In many respects US policy in the Persian Gulf is driven 
today by the same considerations that led it to invade Iraq 
nearly eight years ago. As a "senior American official"--most 
likely Secretary of State James Baker--told the New York Times 
within days of the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait in August of 
1990: "We are talking about oil. Got it? Oil, vital American 
interests." 

This struggle recalls the protracted conflict between Britain 
and Russia at the end of the nineteenth century for hegemony in 
the Middle East and Central Asia that became known as the Great 
Game. Germany made its own thrust into the region with its 
decision to build the Berlin to Baghdad railroad. The resulting 
tensions played a major role in the growth of European 
militarism that erupted in World War I. This time American 
imperialism is the major protagonist. Over the past several 
years, the battle for dominance in the region has come to center 
on one question: where to build a pipeline to move oil from the 
Azeri capital of Baku to the West. 

"The Caspian region has emerged as the world's newest stage for 
big power politics. It not only offers oil companies the 
prospect of great wealth, but provides a stage for high-stakes 
competition among world powers.... Much depends on the outcome, 
because these pipelines will not simply carry oil but will also 
define new corridors of trade and power. The nation or alliance 
that controls pipeline routes could hold sway over the Caspian 
region for decades to come." 

What is perhaps most insane about these Western peoples 
reactions to these true things is their not caring to know that 
both Russia and China are not going to lose Central Asia, or the 
Middle East, by anything other than Military defeat. The 
suddenness of this Wars escalation will surprise these 
Westerners, even as their Military Forces had been the ones who 
started it, and as we can read as reported by the Washington 
Post News Service in their article titled "The Undeclared Oil 
War" and which says; 

"Asia's undeclared oil war is but the latest reminder that in a 
global economy dependent largely on a single fuel   oil  
 "energy security" means far more than hardening refineries and 
pipelines against terrorist attack. At its most basic level, 
energy security is the ability to keep the global machine 
humming   that is, to produce enough fuels and electricity at 
affordable prices that every nation can keep its economy 
running, its people fed and its borders defended. A failure of 
energy security means that the momentum of industrialization and 
modernity grinds to a halt. And by that measure, we are failing. 

In the United States and Europe, new demand for electricity is 
outpacing the new supply of power and natural gas and raising 
the specter of more rolling blackouts. In the "emerging" 
economies, such as Brazil, India and especially China, energy 
demand is rising so fast it may double by 2020. And this only 
hints at the energy crisis facing the developing world, where 
nearly 2 billion people   a third of the world's population   
have almost no access to electricity or liquid fuels and are 
thus condemned to a medieval existence that breeds despair, 
resentment and, ultimately, conflict. 

In other words, we are on the cusp of a new kind of war   
between those who have enough energy and those who do not but 
are increasingly willing to go out and get it. While nations 
have always competed for oil, it seems more and more likely that 
the race for a piece of the last big reserves of oil and natural 
gas will be the dominant geopolitical theme of the 21st 
century." 

To this  New Kind Of War  the Washington Post speaks of we can 
already see by the actions of these Western Nations how it is to 
be waged, by the deliberate terrorizing of their own citizens 
through continued mass attacks designed to keep them in constant 
fear against enemies that do not exist for the purpose of 
creating a War Society built upon the model established by the 
Nazi Germany Regime of the 1930 s, and which led to the last 
Global War. 

For their continued refusal to see the whole truths of the very 
World they live in, and instead believing only in the repeated 
lies of propaganda told to them, these Western peoples have now 
been labeled as the most insane in the world, and as we can read 
as reported by the Australian News Service in their article 
titled "People in West suffer more from mental illness" and 
which says, "People in the West suffer more from mental illness 
than those in poorer countries, with chances of recovery being 
higher in places like India than in say New York or London, says 
an Australian study. Their findings are expected to rewrite 
international textbooks on the devastating mental illness 
characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, 
disorganized communication, poor planning and reduced 
motivation, it reported." 

To the shocking devastation of Total Global War these Westerners 
know only through their movies, soon they will know it by 
looking out their doorways.

BAGHDAD, July 15 (KUNA)   Two US soldiers were killed in a blast 
in the area of Traibil, west Iraq. 

A Multi-National Force (MNF) press release said on Friday that 
two Marine soldiers were killed in a blast targeting their 
vehicle during a military operation nearby the area of Traibil 
at Anbar Province, west Iraq. 

The press release did not give further details on the incident. 

Meanwhile, two detainees from Al-Qaeda organization in Iraq, 
among them was one responsible for kidnapping the Egyptian 
Ambassador in Iraq, were very cooperative with the US forces 
during interrogations. 

The US Army said on Thursday that it arrested Al-Zaraqwi 
assistant Khamis Farhan Al-Fahdawi, and arrested on Tuesday Al-
Qaeda leader here Abdallah Ibrahim Al-Shaddad. 

Spokesperson for the US Army said today, the US forces executed 
a number of burst and search operations here and arrested 30 
insurgents, among them were Al-Fahdawi and Al-Shaddad, noting 
that they have strong ties to Al-Zarqawi. 

According to the US Army, Al-Fahdawi could be responsible for 
the kidnapping and executing of the Egyptian Ambassador in Iraq 
Ihab Al-Sherif, in addition to executing the two attacks that 
targeted the Bahraini and Pakistani diplomats in Baghdad. 

The US Army also said that the two suspects were possessing 
pornographic materials, personal computers, weapons, fliers, and 
important documents upon their arrest. 

An organization termed "Qaedat Al-Jihad" in Iraq announced 
responsibility for most of the armed operations targeting the 
Iraqi Police forces, US forces, and diplomats in Baghdad.

Napoleon soldier dies in training accident 
GI was participating in live-fire exercise 


By DAVID PATCH 
BLADE STAFF WRITER 


NAPOLEON - A local soldier in the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne 
Division was killed accidentally Wednesday during a live-fire 
training exercise at Fort Campbell, Ky., the Army said 
yesterday. 


Pfc. Gregory B. Wertz, 19, graduated from Napoleon High School 
last year and enlisted in the Army several months later, 
relatives said. 

"He was proud of serving his country in the Army," Larry Wertz, 
his father, said in a phone interview last night. "Basically, he 
died for his country in training." 

Private Wertz had been on active duty since December and arrived 
at Fort Campbell in May, the Army said. His job specialty was 
motor transport operator, and the exercise during which he was 
shot was live-fire convoy training. 

Public affairs officers at the sprawling base along the Kentucky-
Tennessee border 60 miles northwest of Nashville said an 
investigation into the death was under way and they could 
release no more information. 

"We do everything we can during training exercises to ensure 
that safety procedures are observed and that we are able to 
train as realistically as we can," said Lt. Col. Ed Loomis, a 
Fort Campbell spokesman. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Pfc. 
Wertz' family." 

Colonel Loomis could not confirm whether Private Wertz, who 
belonged to Alpha Company, 526th Brigade Support Battalion, was 
killed by a shot from another soldier's gun or his own weapon. 

Mr. Wertz said he was only told by the Army that the shooting 
was accidental. 

Private Wertz had last seen his father a week before his death, 
at the end of two weeks' home leave. Mr. Wertz said his son was 
receiving training specific to a deployment to Iraq he 
anticipated would occur in October. 

"He was going to make the Army his career," the father said. "He 
expected to be in Iraq 18 months, then he was going to come 
home. And when he signed up again, he was hoping to go to Korea. 
He wanted to get his education and see the world." 

Mr. Wertz said the younger of his two sons had been in Cub 
Scouts and Boy Scouts and played youth sports, but in high 
school joined no teams or clubs. 

"He was just your typical high school kid who enjoyed his 
friends very much," Mr. Wertz said. 

Funeral arrangements are being handled by the Snyder Wesche 
Funeral Home in Napoleon and were incomplete last night.

Guard medic from Omaha killed in Iraq 


  
22 with Nebraska ties have died in Afghanistan, Iraq 

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A Nebraska Army National Guard medic was 
killed Thursday in Iraq while trying to treat wounded Marines, 
the guard said Friday in a release. 

Staff Sgt. Tricia L. Jameson, 34, of Omaha was killed near 
Trebil, Iraq, when a roadside bomb exploded near her ambulance, 
the guard said. Another Nebraska National Guard medic who was 
driving the ambulance was injured and evacuated to Germany. 

That person, whose name was not released, was in stable 
condition, the guard said. 

Maj. Gen. Roger Lempke, adjutant general for Nebraska, said 
Jameson was known by and had worked with many members of the 
guard through her work as a health care specialist at the 
Nebraska National Guard air base clinic in Lincoln. 

"Jameson's mission was to save lives," Lempke 
said. "Unfortunately, we're up against an enemy that doesn't 
distinguish between humanitarianism support and combatants." 

According to the guard, Jameson was the commander of an 
ambulance that was supporting a convoy mission from Camp Korean 
Village to the Treybul border crossing on the boarder of Iraq 
and Jordan. During the mission, Jameson's ambulance encountered 
Marines who had been attacked and were injured. 

As Jameson's ambulance approached to aid the marines, a bomb 
went off killing Jameson, injuring the driver and destroying the 
ambulance, the guard said. 

Jameson, a member of the 313th Medical Co. of Lincoln, was a 
1989 graduate of Millard South High School and attended Central 
Community College at Columbus from 1990 to 1991. 

She had been in Iraq less than three weeks, according to a Guard 
spokesman. 

Jameson is the 22nd U.S. service member with connections to 
Nebraska to have died in Afghanistan and Iraq since the 
beginning of military operations following the Sept. 11, 2001, 
attacks, according to the Department of Defense and family 
members. 

She is survived by her mother, Patricia Marsh of Omaha 

Yes yes, but TYPOS aside do you think I had a point to my 
argument?  
It's easy to be pedantic about syntax et al. but that's what 
losers do... don't even bother with what was said.

By The Associated Press - 07/16/05 

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)   Suicide car bombs and explosions rocked 
wide areas of the Iraqi capital Friday, targeting U.S. and Iraqi 
security forces and killing at least 29 people. Two U.S. Marines 
died in a blast near the Jordanian border. 

At least 111 people, including seven American soldiers, were 
wounded in the bombings   at least seven of them suicide 
attacks. One of the suicide bombings occurred after sundown on a 
bridge over the Tigris River near the home of President Jalal 
Talabani. 

Three security guards were killed and nine people were wounded 
in that attack. Talabani was at home at the time, aides said, 
but the target may have been a U.S. convoy. 

The wave of attacks, which began at midmorning and persisted 
after nightfall, marked an escalation in car bombings in Baghdad 
after a six-week U.S.-Iraqi military offensive sharply reduced 
their numbers since May. 

They took place one day after a suicide attack on the Green Zone 
in which one would-be bomber was captured. A suicide blast near 
a U.S. convoy on Wednesday killed 27 people, including 18 
children and one American soldier. 


In the deadliest attack Friday, a suicide car bomber struck an 
Iraqi army base in the Shaab neighborhood of Baghdad, killing 
eight Iraqis, including civilians and security personnel, and 
wounding 20, Maj. Khazim al-Tamimi said. 

Another suicide car bomb Friday evening in western Baghdad 
targeted a police commando patrol, killing six policemen and 
wounding 45 people, including 38 civilians, police Capt. Taleb 
Thamer said. 

Two Iraqi soldiers died and seven people were wounded when a 
suicide attacker detonated a car bomb near an Iraqi patrol in 
Andalus Square in central Baghdad.

Explosions kill 30 in Iraq 

BAGHDAD, Iraq   Suicide car bombs and explosions rocked wide 
areas of the Iraqi capital yesterday, targeting U.S. and Iraqi 
security forces and killing at least 30 people. Two U.S. Marines 
died in a blast near the Jordanian border. 
At least 111 people, including seven American soldiers, were

after a six-week U.S.-Iraqi military offensive sharply reduced 
their numbers since May. 
They took place one day after a suicide attack on the Green Zone 
in which one would-be bomber was captured. A suicide blast near 
a U.S. convoy on Wednesday killed 27 people, including 18 
children and one American soldier. 
"The terrorists continue to strike at the most innocent," U.S. 
Col. Joseph DiSalvo said of the civilian casualties. "There is 
no place in a civilized society for these murderers." 
In the deadliest attack yesterday, a suicide car bomber struck 
an Iraqi army base in the Shaab neighborhood of Baghdad, killing 
eight Iraqis, including civilians and security personnel, and 
wounding 20, Maj. Khazim al-Tamimi said. 
Another suicide car bomb last night in western Baghdad targeted 
a police commando patrol, killing six policemen and wounding 45 
people, including 38 civilians, police Capt. Taleb Thamer said. 
Two Iraqi soldiers died and seven people were wounded when a 
suicide attacker detonated a car bomb near an Iraqi patrol in 
Andalus Square in central Baghdad, Col. Salman Abdul Karim said. 
A car bomb also exploded near a U.S. convoy in the Rustamiyah 
area of southeastern Baghdad, wounding two Americans, the U.S. 
military said. 
Two Iraqi soldiers were killed and 14 people wounded in a 
suicide car bombing at the former Defense Ministry building in 
northern Baghdad, Iraqi officials said. 
Another car bomb exploded in eastern Baghdad, wounding six 
people, including a U.S. soldier, police said. 
Also yesterday, a roadside bomb exploded as a U.S. military 
patrol was passing near the west Baghdad neighborhood of 
Amiriyah, police Lt. Majed Zaki said. U.S. soldiers and Iraqi 
insurgents exchanged gunfire after the blast, he said. One Iraqi 
civilian was killed and eight people, including four U.S. 
soldiers, were wounded, officials said. 
Al-Qaida's wing in Iraq claimed responsibility in Internet 
statements for the attacks in Rustamiyah and Andalus Square, but 
the authenticity could not be confirmed. 
Elsewhere, a suicide car bomb killed five Iraqi soldiers and one 
civilian and wounded 17 civilians in Haswa, 30 miles south of 
Baghdad, officials said. Gunmen killed three Iraqi policemen 
Friday at a checkpoint near Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of 
Baghdad, police said. 
In Kirkuk, a car packed with explosives detonated prematurely 
late Friday, killing the two men in the vehicle and a passer-by, 
police said. 
The two U.S. Marines died Thursday in a roadside bombing during 
combat operations near the border with Jordan, the U.S. military 
said in a statement yesterday. 
At least 1,763 members of the U.S. military have died since the 
Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press 
count. At least 1,357 died as a result of hostile action. The 
figures include five military civilians. 
The explosions occurred on the Muslim day of prayer, ordinarily 
a relatively quiet period in the capital. 
During a sermon at a mosque, a prominent Sunni cleric condemned 
the violence, especially the Wednesday suicide bombing that 
killed the 18 children. 
Sheik Ahmed Abdul Ghafour al-Samarrai, a moderate member of the 
Association of Muslim Scholars, called the attack Wednesday 
a "crime" but added that the Americans and their international 
partners share some of the blame. 
"The (U.S.-led) occupation that has destroyed the country and 
turned things upside down is responsible for that," al-Samarrai 
said. 
Meanwhile, a U.S. commander said the level of violence in his 
sector, which includes the key cities of Tikrit, Kirkuk and 
Samarra, remains about where it was prior to the January 
election   a sign of the insurgency's resilience. 
"The suicide bomb, of course, is the weapon of choice now," Maj. 
Gen. Joseph J. Taluto, commander of the 42nd Infantry Division, 
told reporters at the Pentagon via an audio link from Baghdad. 
He said the number of attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces by 
roadside bombs, mortars and small arms has declined 
substantially. But the number of suicide bomb attacks grew from 
a monthly average of five to eight prior to the January 
elections to 15 in May and June, Taluto said. He blamed 
religious extremists for the increase. 
Taluto said U.S. forces in his area were making progress in 
giving more responsibility to Iraqi forces, but he would not say 
how soon the Iraqis would be ready to assume full control. The 
transfer of security responsibility is key to withdrawing 
American forces from Iraq. 
Also yesterday, the bodies of five men   handcuffed, blindfolded 
and shot in the head   were discovered by a farmer on the 
outskirts of Baghdad. Police Lt. Col. Sabah Hamid said the 
bodies had no identity papers. Two days ago, the bodies of 10 
men were found in the same area. 
It was not clear if the dead were Sunnis or Shiites. Sectarian 
tensions are on the rise and each group has accused the other of 
assassinations.

postings (shitpiles), I like to think of little Iraqi children
with missing limbs, flopping about in the dirt, sand and shit
like fish out of water. Then, I think of all the infections the
little roley-poley bastards are picking up as they writhe in
unimaginable pain!!

Give it a try, it's a real pick-me-up!!

Galloway - what a sissy boy - he isn't fit to polish Condi's tampon!

IGNOARANT = when THIS is how you spell ignorant, it's more than 
clear that it would be no use discussing ANYTHING with you, as 
you have proven that you cannot spell, and most probably, cannot 
hold an intelligent conversation!
Have fun whining over and over about being on the losing side!
40,000 civillians and growing!

The US Secretary of State is woman... yes that BLACK SLUT

I know you are braindead and sexist 
=================================================================

He made both of these comments in his post!!!!!
Showing that he is brain dead, and sexist!

But he seems really upset!
Maybe the jerk is off his medications!
His words show that he is an ugly man, and unloved.

I have to point out HOW fucking BRAINDEAD the CUNT below is! He

London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at Same Time 
as Real Attack 
A consultancy agency with government and police connections was 
running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around 
the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and 
locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.

Which is a perfect cover for people pretending to be terrorists 
to plant real bombs instead of fake ones, isn't it? 
Just like on 9-11 when an ongoing NORAD exercise tracking 20 
simulated hijacked planes provided cover for four real hijacked 
planes. 

No working cameras at the airports where the terrorists boarded 
the 9-11 planes. 

No working cameras on the double-decked bus. 

Advance warning to Odigo. 

Advance warning to Netanyahu. 

Folks, do I have to paint you a picture here? 

Questions surround the firm's accounting, even as the Army 
orders $5 billion in services.

    Washington - The Army has ordered nearly $5 billion in work 
from Halliburton Co. to provide logistics support to U.S. 
troops in Iraq over the next year, $1 billion above what the 
Army paid for similar services the previous year. 

    The new order, which comes despite lingering questions 
about the company's billing, replaces an earlier agreement that 
expired in June 2004, but had been extended through this spring 
to ensure a continuous supply of food, sanitation, laundry and 
other logistical services for the troops, said Linda K. Theis, 
an Army spokeswoman. 

    The new order does not change the nature of Halliburton's 
work, but the higher price tag does reflect the growing demand 
for the company's services as U.S. forces continue to battle a 
stubborn insurgency two years after the fall of Saddam Hussein. 

    Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root has received 
more money from the U.S. involvement in Iraq than any other 
contractor. The company has been a lightning rod for criticism 
by those who think the company's high-level connections - most 
notably its former chief executive, Dick Cheney, who is now 
vice president - may have given it undue influence. 

    Under the Army's previous order for logistics support, 
Halliburton was paid $6.3 billion for work during the first two 
years of the occupation, including $3.98 billion between the 
beginning of May 2004 and the end of May 2005. Under the new 
deal, Halliburton will receive $4.97 billion to support U.S. 
troops in Iraq until May 2006. 

    Both orders stem from a 10-year contract known as LOGCAP, 
which KBR won in a competitive bid in 2001. As of the beginning 
of June, the Army had obligated nearly $12 billion to the 
company under the logistic contract, the vast majority of it 
for work in Iraq. 

    The new order took effect two months ago, but was not made 
public. Theis, the U.S. Army Field Support Command spokeswoman, 
said there was "not a conscious decision" to keep the new deal 
quiet, but that her office had simply been too busy with other 
news. 

    Rep. Henry A. Waxman, D-Calif., a vocal critic of 
Halliburton, said the Army shouldn't be giving the company 
orders for more work at the same time it's citing the company 
for unreasonable bills. 

    "The accountability vacuum at the Defense Department is 
costing the taxpayer dearly," Waxman said in a statement. 

    The Pentagon last week confirmed a report by congressional 
Democrats that said the Defense Contract Audit Agency has 
questioned more than $1 billion of Halliburton's bills for work 
in Iraq under LOGCAP and an energy contract called Restore 
Iraqi Oil. Among the costs questioned were $152,000 for movie 
rentals, $1.5 million for tailoring and two multimillion-dollar 
transportation bills that appeared to overlap. 

    Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. Rose-Ann L. Lynch said the 
questioned costs are not necessarily overcharges and that 
contracting officials have either resolved or are in the 
process of resolving most of the discrepancies.

London bombings - statement by George Galloway MP
 George Galloway MP | 10.07.2005 19:56 

House of Commons statement by George Galloway MP - "I condemn 
it utterly as a despicable act, committed against working 
people on their way to work" From Hansard

Mr. George Galloway (Bethnal Green and Bow) (Respect): The hon. 
Member for Pendle (Mr. Prentice) said that it is a funny old 
world, and that is certainly true with regard to the issue that 
he raised. I am, I think, a longer-serving Member of this House 
than he is, and I remember when the Labour Benches were 
littered with members of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. 
Indeed, Members who wear different badges today used then to 
sport daily the badges of CND. 

Mr. Kevan Jones: Some of them are in the Cabinet. 

Mr. Galloway: Indeed; the Cabinet is full of them. That was a 
time when Britain was facing a Soviet Union and an eastern 
Europe bristling with thousands upon thousands of 
intercontinental ballistic missiles, all aimed at us. Now that 
there is no such adversary, those same Members have swapped 
their badges. I have no doubt that they will comprehensively 
vote down the motion tabled by the hon. Member for Pendle at 
the parliamentary Labour party meeting. As he is a gentle soul, 
I fear for his safety on that occasion if the reports I hear of 
the PLP are anything like accurate. 

I have been sitting through the debate feeling not that it is a 
funny old world but that it is another world. The sort of 
complacent consensus that has crept by osmosis through the 
Chamber as the hours have passed is so utterly different from, 
and in contradiction to, the attitude outside in the country 
and around the world that I became more persuaded than ever 
that the House of Commons is out of touch with reality. 

I am sorry that the hon. Member for Gosport (Peter Viggers) is 
no longer in his place. He may well be an expert on defence 
procurement matters but, in his mini discourse on Islam, he 
reminded us of the universal truth that a little knowledge is 
dangerous. His "Reader's Digest" analysis of Islam and the 
people of the Muslim world more than 1,000 million strong 
illustrated the chasm between the east and the powerful here in 
the west. 

At least one, perhaps two of the explosions this morning took 
place in my constituency. Many of those caught up in the events 
were my constituents, heading to 

7 Jul 2005 : Column 521 

work in the City and the west end. I spent four hours or so 
this morning at the Royal London hospital in my constituency 
where the medical staff are toiling, without a break, to deal 
with the casualties who are being brought in in their scores 
perhaps, by now, in their hundreds. 

I walked among the emergency workers, including the fire 
brigade staff, in the very stations that have in the past few 
weeks had fire engines taken away from them as economy 
measures. I refer to the fire station at Bethnal Green in my 
constituency and the fire station in the King's Cross-Euston 
area the two places where the fire services are stretched 
almost to breaking point in dealing with the consequences of 
this morning's events. The people of the east end and the 
emergency workers are going about their business calmly and 
stoically in the way for which our country is famous. 

I condemn the act that was committed this morning. I have no 
need to speculate about its authorship. It is absolutely clear 
that Islamist extremists, inspired by the al-Qaeda world 
outlook, are responsible. I condemn it utterly as a despicable 
act, committed against working people on their way to work, 
without warning, on tubes and buses. Let there be no 
equivocation: the primary responsibility for this morning's 
bloodshed lies with the perpetrators of those acts. 

However, it would be crass to do other than what the Secretary 
of State for Defence in a way invited us to do. We cannot 
separate the acts from the political backdrop. They did not 
come out of a clear blue sky, any more than those monstrous 
mosquitoes that struck the twin towers and other buildings in 
the United States on 9/11 2001. The Defence Secretary said that 
we must look at the causal circumstances behind the problems of 
security and defence in the world. I insist that we do so. 

If Members examine our debate tomorrow in the cold light of day 
they will discover a self-evident truth: many Members of 
Parliament find it easy to feel empathy with people killed in 
explosions by razor-sharp red-hot steel and splintering flying 
glass when they are in London, but they can blank out of their 
mind entirely the fact that a person killed in exactly the same 
way in Falluja died exactly the same death. When the US armed 
forces, their backs guarded, as a result of a decision by our 
politicians, by our armed forces, systematically reduced 
Falluja, a city the size of Coventry, brick by brick and killed 
an unknown number of people probably the number runs to 
thousands, if not tens of thousands not a whisper found its way 
into the Chamber. I have grown used to that. I know that for 
many people in the House and in power in this country the blood 
of some people is worth more than the blood of others. 

Mike Penning (Hemel Hempstead) (Con): Will the hon. Gentleman 
clarify a whisper that has come to the House? Did he say 
elsewhere today that Londoners had this coming? Is it true that 
he said that? 

Mr. Galloway: That is a despicable smear. 

Madam Deputy Speaker (Sylvia Heal): Order. I remind all hon. 
Members that we are debating the fourth report of the Defence 
Committee. 

7 Jul 2005 : Column 522 

Mr. Galloway: The Minister of State says from a sedentary 
position that it is more or less right. I take it that that 
means that it is not right. I have never uttered any such 
words. The words that I am speaking now are my words. If the 
hon. Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mike Penning) would care to 
listen, he can disagree with me, but he should not attempt to 
put into my mouth words that I have never spoken. Madam Deputy 
Speaker, I ask for your protection. Hon. Members: "Oh!" It is 
either that, or I shall keep speaking and no one else will  

Madam Deputy Speaker: Order. I have already asked hon. Members 
to debate the motion on the Order Paper. Perhaps we would all 
do well to confine our remarks to that. 

Mr. Galloway: The exchanges that we have just heard are further 
evidence of my point that in this bubble people just do not get 
it. If I cannot touch the heart of the hon. Member for Hemel 
Hempstead with what happened to the people in Falluja, I shall 
move on to firmer ground. 

Does the House not believe that hatred and bitterness have been 
engendered by the invasion and occupation of Iraq, by the daily 
destruction of Palestinian homes, by the construction of the 
great apartheid wall in Palestine and by the occupation of 
Afghanistan? Does it understand that the bitterness and enmity 
generated by those great events feed the terrorism of bin Laden 
and the other Islamists? Is that such a controversial point? Is 
it not obvious? When I was on the Labour Benches and spoke in 
the immediate aftermath of 9/11, I said that I despise Osama 
bin Laden. The difference is that I have always despised him. I 
did so when the Government, in this very House, gave him guns, 
money and encouragement, and set him to war in Afghanistan. I 
said that if they handled that event in the wrong way, they 
would create 10,000 bin Ladens. Does anyone doubt that 10,000 
bin Ladens at least have been created by the events of the past 
two and a half years? If they do, they have their head in the 
sand. 

There are more people in the world today who hate us more 
intently than they did before as a result of the actions that 
we have taken. Does this House understand that the pictures 
from Abu Ghraib prison have inflamed and deepened that sense of 
hatred around the world and made our position more dangerous? 
Do Members of this House not understand that Guantanamo Bay has 
contributed to the sense of bitterness and hatred against us 
around the world? Does nobody in this House understand that 
when Palestinians' houses are knocked down, their olive trees 
cut down and their children shot by Israeli marksmen, an army 
of people who want to harm us is created? To say that is not to 
hope that they succeed I started by making clear, I hope, my 
utter rejection and condemnation of the events in London this 
morning. 

It does not matter whether Britain replaces the Trident 
submarine system with another. The threat now, as the hon. 
Member for Vale of Glamorgan (John Smith) made clear, is not 
the intercontinental ballistic missiles of other countries but 
the asymmetrical threat of angry people who hate us and who are 
ready to exchange their lives for several of ours, or hundreds 
of ours, or thousands of ours, if they can do so. Is that 
really so hard to grasp? 

7 Jul 2005 : Column 523 

Given that one cannot defend oneself against every angry man 
among the enrag s of the earth, it follows that the only thing 
we can do is address what the Secretary of State called the 
causal circumstances that lie behind these events. That means 
trying to reduce the hatred in the world and trying to deal 
with the political crises out of which these events have 
flowed. If, instead of doing that, we remain in this consensual 
bubble in which we have placed ourselves, we will go on making 
the same mistakes over and over again. We will go on with 
Guantanamo Bay. We will go on as we are doing, making Abu 
Ghraib not smaller as we were told would happen after the 
photographs were published, but bigger. We will go on with 
occupation and war as the principal instruments of our foreign 
and defence policy. If we do that, some people will get through 
and hurt us as they have hurt us here today, and if we still do 
not learn the lesson, that dismal, melancholic cycle will 
continue. 

It ought to be common sense that people start from the 
standpoint that the only thing that matters is whether what we 
plan to do will make things better or worse. I listened to the 
Secretary of State lay out the success story of Afghanistan and 
Iraq, and his account bore no relationship to the truth or 
reality. He talked about Afghanistan as a success story and 
about the President of Afghanistan, when everyone knows that 
Karzai is the president of the congestion charge area of 
downtown Kabul and no more. He talked about an Afghan army it 
is a fantasy. Afghanistan is a patchwork quilt of warlordism, 
where the warlords' armies dwarf the so-called Afghan national 
army. He talked about drugs and narcotics: before we invaded 
the country those lunatics of the Taliban were reducing heroin 
production in Afghanistan, but the people whom we have put into 
power there have increased production by 800 per cent. Our 
armed forces are in Afghanistan and our taxes are being used to 
support a political structure that is producing 90 per cent. of 
the junk that ends up in the veins of our young people in 
Glasgow, east London and many other places in the world. 

The Secretary of State talked about Iraq as if Iraq were any 
kind of success story. I could not believe my ears as he 
described, in that complacent, orotund manner, progress over 12 
months, 18 months or two years. Iraq is going backwards, not 
forwards. It is impossible for the Secretary of State to say we 
shall withdraw in any given time frame, because Iraq is getting 
worse, not better. There are more people being killed in Iraq 
now than there were before. More military operations are being 
conducted by the Iraqi resistance than before. Last Saturday 
alone, 175 military operations were mounted by the Iraqi 
resistance on one day. 

American soldiers are dying in such numbers that there is now 
more appreciation of the mistake of the war in Iraq over the 
pond in the United States than there appears to be here in the 
British House of Commons. The kind of debate that we have had 
today would not happen in the US Congress, because US 
politicians understand the scale of this disaster far better 
than the politicians in this Chamber appear even to have begun 
to do. 

One thousand, eight hundred American boys, conscripted by 
poverty, unemployment and poor opportunities, have lost their 
lives as a result of the pack 

7 Jul 2005 : Column 524 

of lies that was the case for the invasion of Iraq, and 17,000 
American boys have been wounded. Ten per cent. of them are 
amputees, who will have to go around with no legs for the rest 
of their lives as a result of the pack of lies on which we went 
to war in Iraq. 

Eighty-nine of our own boys, including the son of Rose Gentle 
from Glasgow, 19-year-old Gordon, were sent to die in Iraq on a 
pack of lies. The Prime Minister will not even meet Gordon's 
mother. He will not meet the mother of a 19-year-old boy who 
was sent to die in Iraq. Last Monday, I was on a television 
programme and a call came through from the mother of a 17-year-
old soldier who was leaving for Iraq the following Monday. He 
is 17 years old, and he is being sent to Iraq, into that 
quagmire. The 19-year-old Gordon Gentle is dead. Eighty-eight 
other young men from this country are dead as a result of this, 
yet our Ministers roll out their jokes and their cod philosophy 
here today. They have absolutely no grasp of the gravity of the 
situation, or of how unpopular their stand has become outside 
these walls. They have learned nothing from the fact that they 
lost a million votes as a result of what they did in Iraq, or 
from the fact that millions in Britain marched against them and 
begged them not to do this. 

The hon. Member for North Durham (Mr. Jones), in an otherwise 
fine speech, described today's events as "unpredictable". They 
were not remotely unpredictable. Our own security services 
predicted them and warned the Government that if we did this we 
would be at greater risk from terrorist attacks such as the one 
that we have suffered this morning.

AL QAEDA WEBSITE TRACKS BACK TO ... MARYLAND???

Last night on CNN I heard them making a connection between the 
London

According the CNN June 25, 2002 web ariticle (URL listed 
above): 

 The site reappeared in early June and this time CNN traced it 
to a 
Web-hosting company in Texas. As CNN went to air with another 
story on it 
last Monday, alneda.com once again disappeared from the Web. 


----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------

However, as the above traceroute shows, the DNS for alneda.com 
still points 
web queries to broadwing.net, in Austin, TX. 

Interesting how the U.S. corporate medium absolutely fails to 
point out that 
this  terrorist  webiste is hosted in Texas. 

Also interesting is CNN s suggestion is 2002 that alneda.com 
had  once again 
disappeared from the Web . It appears it s where it has always 
been. These 
people never hear of investigative journalism? What I want to 
know is: who 
the hell is Jon David, and why is he maintaining a  terrorist  
website in 
Texas? 

Maybe we should notify the Berlin, MD police of the  terrorist  
in their 
midst. Or der Homeland Security? It also might be fun to 
contact Broadwing 
and the domain name registrars and ask them what they re doing 
associating 
with terrorists? Weird how Muslim charities have been targeted 
since 911, 
but somehow this  terrorist  alneda.com has managed to reside 
in Texas for 
three years. 

Boom-boom...out go the lights!

Shoot a muzzie cunt today. You'll be glad you did! Shoot two 
muzzie cunts for the price of one! 

Boom-boom...out go the lights!

How many did you shoot after 9-11?
Zero, or...zero?

Hey Noamie,

I'll shoot a muzzie cunt just for you.  :)

BAGHDAD   One US soldier has been killed and two others wounded 
by a roadside bomb northeast of Baghdad. 
The military said the incident occurred today in Diyala 
province, but released no further details. 

According to an Associated Press count, at least 1,745 members 
of the US military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war 
in March of 2003. 

About three-quarters of those were the result of hostile action.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda group in Iraq said in an Internet 
statement on Thursday it killed Egypt's top envoy to Iraq who it 
had kidnapped, saying he represented a "tyrannical" government 
allied to the enemies of Islam. 

"We al Qaeda in Iraq announce that the judgment of God has been 
implemented against the ambassador of the infidels, the 
ambassador of Egypt. Oh enemy of God, Ihab el-Sherif, this is 
your punishment in this life," said the group, led by Abu Musab 
al-Zarqawi. The group posted a video showing the hostage 
speaking but did not show the actual killing. 

Netanyahu Changed Plans Due to Warning

Israel Warned United Kingdom About Possible Attacks

(4427 bytes) 


JERUSALEM - British police told the Israeli Embassy in London 
minutes before Thursday's explosions that they had received 
warnings of possible terror attacks in the city, a senior 
Israeli official said. 


Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had planned to 
attend an economic conference in a hotel over the subway stop 
where one of the blasts occurred, and the warning prompted him 
to stay in his hotel room instead, government officials said. 

Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said he wasn't aware of any 
Israeli casualties. 

Just before the blasts, Scotland Yard called the security 
officer at the Israeli Embassy to say they had received warnings 
of possible attacks, the official said. He did not say whether 
British police made any link to the economic conference. 

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the 
nature of his position. 

The Israeli Embassy was in a state of emergency after the 
explosions in London, with no one allowed to enter or leave, 
said the Israeli ambassador to London, Zvi Hefet. 

All phone lines to the embassy were down, said Danny Biran, an 
Israeli Foreign Ministry official. 

The ministry set up a situation room to deal with hundreds of 
phone calls from concerned relatives. Thousands of Israelis are 
living in London or visiting the city at this time, Biran said. 

Amir Gilad, a Netanyahu aide, told Israel Radio that Netanyahu's 
entourage was receiving updates all morning from British 
security officials, and "we have also asked to change our 
plans." 

Netanyahu had been scheduled to stay in London until Sunday, but 
that could change, Gilad said.

Israel Warned United Kingdom About Possible Attacks 


There has been massive confusion over a denial made by the 
Israelis that the Scotland Yard had warned the Israeli Embassy 
in London of possible terrorist attacks  minutes before  the 
first bomb went off July 7. Israel warned London of the attacks 
a  couple of days ago,  but British authorities failed to 
respond accordingly to deter the attacks, according to an 
unconfirmed rumor circulating in intelligence circles. While 
Israel is keeping quiet for the time-being, British Prime 
Minister Tony Blair soon will be facing the heat for his failure 
to take action. 

Analysis 

The Associated Press reported July 7 that an anonymous source in 
the Israeli Foreign Ministry said Scotland Yard had warned the 
Israeli Embassy in London of possible terrorist attacks in the 
U.K. capital. The information reportedly was passed to the 
embassy minutes before the first bomb struck at 0851 London 
time. The Israeli Embassy promptly ordered Israeli Finance 
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remain in his hotel on the 
morning of July 7

and the winner is....... LONDON!!! - Kasey Chambers

London Bombing has the Scent of an Inside Job. 
Current mood: tired 

First: My condolences to anyone who lost a loved one in the 
London Bombings, may your loved ones rest in peace.

London Bombing has the Scent of an Inside Job
From: The Ranter

Today in London 4 bombs, 3 on trains, 1 on a bus, killed 
possibly 40+ people and injured approximately 300+ others. But 
who stands to gain from this highly sophisticated attack?

According to IsrealNN.com, a short time ago Scotland Yard had 
recieved intelligence warnings of the attacks a short time 
before they occurred.

The Israeli Embassy in London was notified in advance, resulting 
in Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu remaining in his hotel 
room rather than make his way to the hotel adjacent to the site 
of the first explosion, a Liverpool Street train station, where 
he was to address and economic summit.

The warning contradicts the fact that the original explanation 
of a power surge went out for an hour or more. They knew it was 
an attack but put out a false explanation. Plus why did 
Netanyahu get a warning and the victims didn't?

But, of course, now the mainstream media is starting to change 
their story, saying that there was no warning.

The Mainstream Media have been talking about the similarities 
between today's bombing and the Madrid, Spain Train Bombings. 
But what they fail to mention is that the so called perpetrators 
were quickly linked to an "Al Qaeda" cell in Europe, but as was 
later reported on PrisonPlanet.com, they were linked to the 
Spanish Security service. The suspects then mysteriously Killed 
themselves as this information was seeping out. It's become 
apparent that Spain's government was using the bombings for its 
own gains and many went to the streets in Spain to declare they 
knew that their own government was behind the attacks.

This seems to me as either a MI5, CIA, or Mossad Operation. The 
reason I say this is because on July 4th, Brittain made the 
announcement that they would be pulling their troops out of Iraq 
over the next 18 months, but now, they have a reason to stay in 
Iraq, how convenient for Tony Blair and George W. Bush. Also 
this will help the Brittish and US Governments to Institute 
National ID card Programs, while tightening up "security" at all 
bus and train depot's, like they got with the airline industry 
after 9/11. More searching without probable cause, more 
detainments of "suspects". Then there is also the increased 
level of fear amongst the general populace this will generate as 
they pound it into the average american's head over and over 
again. Fear is an effective tool when one wants to scare many 
into submitting to things they would otherwise not accept. Like 
after 9/11, fear of terrorism was used to pass the 
Unconstitutional U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, which has since been 
proven to increase control over the people of the U.S. by 
severly impeding or completely nullifying most of the Bill of 
Rights, while at the same time doing very li ...

Afghan Bomb Blast Kills 2 GIs 
Associated Press 
June 4, 2005 

KABUL, Afghanistan - A bomb exploded next to a U.S. military 
convoy in eastern Afghanistan, killing two American soldiers 
and wounding a third, the military said Saturday. 

An Afghan interpreter was also wounded in the attack on Friday 
in Urgun district in Paktika province, the military said. The 
wounded were evacuated by helicopter to a U.S. base for 
treatment. 

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of these two 
brave individuals who gave their lives so that Afghanistan 
might have a safe and secure future," said U.S. Army Brig. Gen. 
James G. Champion, deputy operational commander of Combined 
Joint Task Force 76. 

The names of the dead were withheld pending notification of 
their family. 

The deaths brought to 147 the number of U.S. troops killed in 
and around Afghanistan since their mission began in 2001.

9000 Dead GIs In Iraq?
By: Brian Harring on: 04.06.2005 [03:45 ] 
US Military Report: Bush s Achilles  Heel 

The Bush Butcher s Bill: Officially, 84 US Military Deaths in 
Iraq from 2 through 28 May, 2005   Official Total of 1,747 US 
Dead to date (and rising) 
U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en 
route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. 
They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005. The ongoing, 
underreporting of the dead in Iraq, is not accurate. The DoD is 
deliberately reducing the figures. A review of many foreign 
news sites show that actual deaths are far higher than the 
newly reduced ones. Iraqi civilian casualties are never 
reported but International Red Cross, Red Crescent and UN 
figures indicate that as of 1 January 2005, the numbers are 
just under 100,000. 


Note: There is excellent reason to believe that the Department 
of Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number 
of the dead in Iraq. We have received copies of manifests from 
the MATS that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than 
are reported officially. The educated rumor is that the actual 
death toll is in excess of 7,000. Given the officially 
acknowledged number of over 15,000 seriously wounded, this 
elevated death toll is far more realistic than the current 
1,400+ now being officially published. When our research is 
complete, and watertight, we will publish the results along 
with the sources. In addition to the evident falsification of 
the death rolls, at least 5,500 American military personnel 
have deserted, most in Ireland but more have escaped to Canada 
and other European countries, none of whom are inclined to 
cooperate with vengeful American authorities. (See TBR News of 
18 February for full coverage on the mass desertions) This 
means that of the 158,000 U.S. military shipped to Iraq, 26,000 
either deserted, were killed or seriously wounded. The DoD 
lists currently being very quietly circulated indicate almost 
9,000 dead, over 16,000 seriously wounded and a large number of 
suicides, forced hospitalization for ongoing drug usage and 
sales, murder of Iraqi civilians and fellow soldiers , rapes, 
courts martial and so on   Brian Harring 

Haven t we had enough of this?

Not Enough Troops To Hold Ground 
Charlotte Observer 
June 3, 2005 

U.S. Army officers in the deserts of northwest Iraq, near the 
Syrian border, say they don't have enough troops to hold the 
ground they take from insurgents in this transit point for 
weapons, money and foreign fighters. 

From October to the end of April, there were about 400 soldiers 
from the 25th Infantry Division patrolling the northwest 
region, which covers about 10,000 square miles. 

"Resources are everything in combat ... there's no way 400 
people can cover that much ground," said Maj. John Wilwerding, 
of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, which is responsible for 
the northwest tract that includes Tal Afar. 

"Because there weren't enough troops on the ground ... the 
(insurgency) was able to get a toehold," said Wilwerding, 37, 
of Chaska, Minn. 

During the past two months, Army commanders, trying to pacify 
the area, have had to move in some 4,000 Iraqi soldiers; about 
2,000 more are on the way. About 3,500 troops from the 3rd ACR 
took control of the area this month, but officers said they 
were still understaffed for the mission. 




 
"There's simply not enough forces here," said a high-ranking 
U.S. Army officer with knowledge of the 3rd ACR. "There are not 
enough to do anything right; everybody's got their finger in a 
dike." The officer spoke on the condition of anonymity because 
of concern that he'd be reprimanded for questioning American 
military policy in Iraq. 

The Army has no difficulty in launching large-scale operations 
to catch fighters, the officer said. "But when we're done, what 
comes next?" 

Control of the area is seen as key to stemming the insurgency 
in the rest of Iraq. 

"This town is kind of like a staging point for the rest of the 
country," said Capt. Geoff Mangus, 25, of Milledgeville, Ga., 
an Army intelligence officer in Tal Afar. "They know that 
weapons and foreign fighters can filter through here 
unscathed." 

Army officials in northwest Iraq described a two-year cat-and-
mouse game with insurgents who move from one outpost or town to 
the next, sustaining casualties but buoyed by fighters slipping 
across the Iraq-Syria border, which in many places isn't 
patrolled. From their sanctuaries in the area, the fighters 
then spread across the country, some volunteering to be suicide 
bombers. They funnel cash, arms and recruits to the insurgency, 
Mangus said. Repeated efforts to secure the area have failed. 

In Tal Afar, the police -- with only 150 officers left in what 
was a 600-man force -- are holed up in the only remaining 
police station. To the west, the mayor and police have 
abandoned the town of Bi'aj. To the south, in Rawah, a recent 
patrol found no evidence of the mayor, police or "rule of law," 
said Maj. Bryan Denny, 38, of Oxford, N.C. 

Developments Wednesday 

** An insurgent mortar barrage killed three Iraqi children and 
their uncle as they played together outside their Baghdad 
home. .** Two policemen were killed in drive-by shootings in 
western Baghdad's Amil district and the northern city of 
Samarra, police said. 




 
** A suicide bomber attacked a line of vehicles waiting at the 
heavily guarded main checkpoint to Baghdad's International 
Airport early Wednesday, wounding 15 Iraqis. 

Deadly Month 

At least 772 people have been reported killed by insurgents 
since Iraq's first democratically elected government was 
announced April 28. They include 702 Iraqi civilians and 
security force members, 66 U.S. military personnel, two British 
soldiers and two U.S. contract workers. 

As of Wednesday, at least 1,663 members of the U.S. military 
have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, 
according to an Associated Press count. At least 1,273 died as 
a result of hostile action, according to the Defense 
Department.

US Military Report: Bush s Achilles  Heel  
  
 



The Bush Butcher s Bill: Officially, 72 US Military Deaths in 
Iraq from 2 through  25 May, 2005   Official Total of 1,735 US 
Dead to date (and rising) 

U.S. Military Personnel who died in German hospitals or en 
route to German hospitals have not previously been counted. 
They total about 6,210 as of 1 January, 2005. The ongoing, 
underreporting of the dead in Iraq, is not accurate. The DoD is 
deliberately reducing the figures. A review of many foreign 
news sites show that actual deaths are far higher than the 
newly reduced ones.  Iraqi civilian casualties are never 
reported but International Red Cross, Red Crescent and UN 
figures indicate that as of 1 January 2005, the numbers are 
just under 100,000. 

by Brian Harring, Domestic Intelligence Reporter 

Note: There is excellent reason to believe that the Department 
of Defense is deliberately not reporting a significant number 
of the dead in Iraq. We have received copies of  manifests from 
the MATS that show far more bodies shipped into Dover AFP than 
are reported officially. The educated rumor is that the actual 
death toll is in excess of 7,000. Given the officially 
acknowledged number of over 15,000 seriously wounded, this 
elevated death toll is far more realistic than the current 
1,400+ now being officially published. When our research is 
complete, and watertight, we will publish the results along 
with the sources In addition to the evident falsification of 
the death rolls, at least 5,500 American military personnel 
have deserted, most in Ireland but more have escaped to Canada 
and other European countries, none of whom are inclined to 
cooperate with vengeful American authorities. (See TBR News of 
18 February for full coverage on the mass desertions) This 
means that of the 158,000 U.S. military shipped to Iraq, 
26,000  either deserted, were killed or seriously wounded. The 
DoD lists currently being very quietly circulated indicate 
almost 9,000 dead, over 16,000 seriously wounded and a large 
number of suicides, forced hospitalization for ongoing drug 
usage and sales, murder of Iraqi civilians and fellow 
soldiers , rapes, courts martial and so on   Brian Harring 

Haven t we had enough of this?

Helen Thomas Rides White House Press Sec: 'Were we invited into 
Iraq?'
Wed May 25 2005 17:16:06 ET

Wire Queen Helen Thomas today ripped into White House spokesman 
Scott McClellan over his claims the United States is in 
Afghanistan and Iraq -- by invitation. 

Joined in progess... 

Q The other day -- in fact, this week, you said that we, the 
United States, is in Afghanistan and Iraq by invitation. Would 
you like to correct that incredible distortion of American 
history -- 

MR. McCLELLAN: No, we are -- that's where we currently -- 

Q -- in view of your credibility is already mired? How can you 
say that? 

MR. McCLELLAN: Helen, I think everyone in this room knows that 
you're taking that comment out of context. There are two 
democratically-elected governments in Iraq and -- 

Q Were we invited into Iraq? 

MR. McCLELLAN: There are two democratically-elected governments 
now in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we are there at their 
invitation. They are sovereign governments, and we are there 
today -- 

Q You mean if they had asked us out, that we would have left? 

MR. McCLELLAN: No, Helen, I'm talking about today. We are there 
at their invitation. They are sovereign governments -- Q I'm 
talking about today, too. 

MR. McCLELLAN: -- and we are doing all we can to train and 
equip their security forces so that they can provide for their 
own security as they move forward on a free and democratic 
future. Q Did we invade those countries? 

MR. McCLELLAN: Go ahead, Steve.

Death Rate for Reservists in Iraq Rises
    The Associated Press

    Tuesday 24 May 2005

    Washington - The death rate in Iraq this month among 
members of the National Guard and Reserve is the highest since 
January and one of the highest of the entire war, Pentagon 
figures show.

    At least 21 part-time soldiers and Marines have died in 
May, although the number may be higher since the Pentagon has 
not yet identified most of the 14 U.S. troops who have died 
since Sunday.

    As of May 20, the Pentagon had identified 16 Guard and 
Reserve members among the month's dead.

    The Marine Corps said four killed Monday were members of 
the 155th Brigade Combat Team, a Mississippi Army National 
Guard unit attached to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. 
Also, the Pennsylvania Army National Guard said one of its 
soldiers was killed Sunday in a suicide bombing.

    The 21 deaths account for a little over one-third of the 
total of 58 U.S. troops who have died so far this month. That 
is about in line with the ratio of Guard and Reserve troops to 
regular active-duty troops deployed in Iraq -- now about 40 
percent Guard/Reserve and 60 percent regular troops.

    In April, 11 members of the Guard and Reserve died in Iraq. 
In March, there were 13, and February's total was 16. That 
means the May toll already is the highest since January, when 
there were 30 for the entire month. January was one of the 
bloodiest months of the war for U.S. forces, with a total of 
107 deaths, including 30 Marines and one Navy corpsman who died 
in a single helicopter crash.

    Prior to January, the highest monthly toll among Guard and 
Reserve members was 28 in November 2004, when many died in the 
assault on Fallujah and the total death toll for U.S. forces 
was 138.

    Since the war began in March 2003, at least 163 members of 
the National Guard, plus 45 in the Army Reserve and 45 in the 
Marine Reserves had died in Iraq, according to an unofficial 
count as of Friday. The Pentagon does not release an official 
death toll for the Guard and Reserve.

9 U.S. Soldiers Killed In 2 Days In Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq 

A car bomb exploded Tuesday near a Baghdad junior high school 
for girls, killing six people, and nine American troops were 
killed in two days of insurgent attacks in and around Baghdad, 
the military said. 


Al-Qaida's branch in Iraq, blamed for numerous terror attacks 
on U.S. and Iraqi targets, said in an Internet posting that its 
leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had been wounded and called on 
supporters to pray for his recovery. The posting's authenticity 
could not be verified. 

In the last two days, the military announced that 14 American 
troops have been killed since Sunday. Those reports came as 
insurgents carried out a string of explosions, suicide attacks 
and drive-by shootings around the country that also killed 49 
Iraqis. 

At least 620 people, including 58 U.S. troops, have been killed 
since April 28, when Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari 
announced his new Shiite-dominated government. Washington hopes 
his government will eventually train police and an army capable 
of securing Iraq, allowing the withdrawal of coalition troops. 

In Tal Afar, where two car bombs Monday killed at least 20 
people, there were various reports that militants were in 
control and that Shiites and Sunnis were fighting in the 
streets. One police official said the city was 
experiencing "civil war." Journalists were blocked from 
entering the city of 200,000. 

Three U.S. soldiers were killed Tuesday in central Baghdad when 
a car bomb exploded next to their convoy at about 1:30 p.m., 
said military spokesman Sgt. David Abrams. 

About a half-hour later, a U.S. soldier sitting in the back of 
a Bradley fighting vehicle at an observation post was shot to 
death by gunmen in a passing car, Abrams added. 

The military also announced that a Marine was killed Monday 
during an attack on Camp Blue Diamond, an American base in 
Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad. The Marine's name was not 
released. 

Four soldiers were killed Monday after they were attacked in 
Haswa, 30 miles south of Baghdad, the military said. The 
soldiers were assigned to the 155th Brigade Combat Team, II 
Marine Expeditionary Force. 

The U.S. military said Monday that three American soldiers were 
killed Sunday and one wounded in two separate attacks in Mosul, 
225 miles northwest of Baghdad. Another soldier was reported 
killed when his patrol was hit by a car bomb just north of 
Tikrit, 80 miles north of the capital, and a fifth died in a 
vehicle accident in Kirkuk. 

As of Tuesday, at least 1,643 members of the U.S. military have 
died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, 
according to an Associated Press count. 

The U.S. military said a two-day operation involving more than 
2,000 Iraqi soldiers and police _ the largest-ever joint 
campaign in the Baghdad area _ had rounded up 428 suspected 
insurgents. 

But insurgents continued to wreak havoc in the capital despite 
the ongoing crackdown in the Abu Ghraib area, which targets 
militants believed responsible for multiple attacks on the U.S.-
detention facility there and the road linking downtown to the 
international airport. 

Residents called police about a suspicious-looking car parked 
opposite the Dijlah Junior High School for Girls in Alwiyah, 
near eastern Baghdad's well-known Withaq Square, a Christian 
neighborhood. As bomb disposal experts approached the vehicle, 
it exploded and killed six bystanders, said police Capt. Husham 
Ismael. 

Three civilians and one policeman also were injured. No 
students were believed to be hurt. 

Militants also gunned down two people and seized control of Tal 
Afar, a town 50 miles west of the northern city of Mosul, 
police said Tuesday, hours after two car bombs killed at least 
20 people there late Monday. 

Separately, gunmen opened fire on a four-car convoy carrying 
conservative Shiite legislator Salamah al-Khafaji, one of the 
most prominent women in Iraq's new parliament. The lawmaker 
escaped unharmed, but four of her bodyguards were critically 
injured. 

The item on al-Zarqawi was posted on a Web site known for 
carrying prior statements by al-Qaida in Iraq and other 
militant groups. 

The statement, purportedly from the group's media coordinator, 
Abu Maysarah al-Iraqi, did not say how or when al-Zarqawi was 
injured. 

Al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian, has claimed responsibility for attacks 
on Iraqi civilians and security forces, kidnappings and 
beheadings of foreigners, and has a $25 million bounty on his 
head _ the same as for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. 

U.S. forces, meanwhile, announced the capture of two leading 
militants with links to al-Zarqawi. 

Mohammed Daham Abd Hamadi, leader of the al-Noaman Brigades, 
was captured in Ramadi, west of Baghdad, on Monday, the 
military said. Hamadi's terror cell has claimed responsibility 
for kidnapping Chinese and Turkish citizens who were later 
freed. 

The other capture was of Mullah Kamel al-Aswadi, described by 
U.S. forces as the "most-wanted terrorist in north-central 
Iraq." The statement said al-Aswadi was captured recently in 
Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad. 

Iraq's National Assembly convened Tuesday, during which a 
conservative Shiite lawmaker said he was appointed to head a 55-
member committee charged with drafting Iraq's new constitution, 
which must be drawn up by mid-August and put to a referendum by 
October. 

Cleric Hummam Hammoudi, an aide to the leader of Iraq's largest 
Shiite Arab party, told the AP he was appointed head of the 
committee and a Sunni Arab and a Kurd were appointed his 
deputies. 

At least 20 people were killed in Monday's deadliest attack 
when two car bombs exploded near the home of Hassan Baktash, a 
Shiite Muslim with close ties to the Kurdistan Democratic 
Party, in Tal Afar, a predominantly Turkmen town of 200,000 
people, officials said. 

On Tuesday, militants sprayed Baktash's house with machine-gun 
fire, killing two civilians and clashing with security forces, 
said Col. Saleh Jamil Sultan. 

"Now terrorists have deployed throughout Tal Afar and I 
consider that Tal Afar is a city that is under the terrorist 
control," Sultan said. 

A Turkmen lawmaker told parliament that "street wars" were 
raging in Tal Afar, but Iraqi and U.S. forces had not 
intervened. 

"I demand the assembly's intervention to stop this evil and 
save the innocents in that city," said Sheik Mohammed Taqi al-
Maollah. 

Journalists were blocked from entering Tal Afar after police 
blocked all roads leading into it. Police Capt. Ahmed Hashem 
Taki said Sunni and Shiite fighters from the town's 
predominantly Turkmen population started clashing following 
Monday's bombings. 

"Tal Afar is living now some kind of civil war," he said. 

A nearly two-week siege in Tal Afar late last year by U.S.-led 
forces targeted foreign fighters holed up in the city, which is 
astride a smuggling route to Syria. 

At least 23 other people were killed and more than 120 wounded 
in three separate suicide bombings in Baghdad; Mahmoudiya, 
south of Baghdad; and Tuz Khormato, south of the northern city 
of Kirkuk. 

Amid a wave of sectarian violence, there have been calls for 
greater Sunni political participation. Only 17 Sunni Arabs are 
in the parliament, following a decision by many Sunnis not to 
take part in the Jan. 30 elections, either by choice or for 
fear of insurgent reprisals. 

Sunnis are believed to make up the core of the insurgency. 

Shiite lawmaker al-Khafaji was driving from Baghdad to the 
Shiite holy city of Najaf, south of the capital, when the 
assassination attempt took place, her spokesman, Bahaa Hassan 
Hamida, said. 

Al-Khafaji survived previous assassination attempts, including 
one that killed her 17-year-old son. She was one of three women 
on the 25-member, U.S.-appointed Governing Council until the 
transitional government took over.

that a case of the POT calling the KETTLE black???? uSSa has

HOTTIE???) 
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said Syria has fallen 
behind in what the Bush administration perceives as a trend 
towards change in the Middle East.


"It really is time for Syria to realise that it is clearly out 
of step with where the region is going," Rice said on Friday 
after meeting Iraq's Minister of Planning Barham Saleh in 
Washington.



"This is a Syria that needs to understand that it should not 
think itself immune from the way that the region is going." 



The Bush administration has set itself a target of spreading 
democracy in what it calls the Greater Middle East. 



"This is a power, Syria, which has begun to move its forces from 
Lebanon, which was standing in the way of a free Lebanon, a 
Syria that is supporting Palestinian rejectionists at a time 
when the Palestinians and Israelis are trying to find their way 
to a two-state solution that would clearly serve the interest of 
the Palestinian people, and a Syria that is allowing its 
territory to be used to organise terrorist attacks against 
innocent Iraqis," Rice said. 



US concerns



She said the US government was concerned "in particular about 
Syrian behaviour on its own border, about the support for 
terrorists that appears to be taking place from Syrian 
territory, about perhaps financial support that is coming from 
Syrian territory".




Rice (R) made her Syria remarks
after meeting Saleh (L) in the US

"Neighbours should remember that stability in the neighbourhood 
is going to be good for the neighbours as well as for the people 
of Iraq. 



"This is a historic but difficult time, and neighbours must do 
everything that they can to support the processes in Iraq," Rice 
said. 



The Iraqi minister Barham Saleh also made a veiled criticism of 
Syrian actions. 



Syria seeks cooperation



"The new Iraq wants to be at peace with the neighbours of Iraq 
and they should welcome that," he said. 



"Some of the neighbours have been cooperating and have been true 
to their commitments to the government of Iraq. But I would say 
that some other neighbours need to do better and need to be more 
serious about the commitments that they declare." 



For its part, Syria issued a statement on Saturday denying "US 
accusations" and expressing its willingness to cooperate with 
Iraqi authorities to control the shared border



Calls for reform



Meanwhile, Syria's First Lady called on leaders in her country 
to implement what she termed more far-reaching political and 
institutional reforms. 



Syria needs to introduce political and institutional reforms to 
attract foreign investments necessary for the economy to 
flourish, Asma al- 
Syrian First Lady Asma al-Assad
says more reforms are needed

Assad, the wife of President Bashar al-Assad, said at the Woman 
in Business International Forum, which opened in Damascus on 
Saturday.

AND HERE"S A COOL 
GRAPH:http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/USfatalities.gif

By Trevor Royle, Diplomatic Editor
A GLANCE at the map confirms the strategic importance of 
Uzbekistan, not just in regional terms but also as it is viewed 
from Washington. 
To the south and southwest are Afghanistan and Iran, a fact 
which inspired President Islam Karimov to push himself into 
contention as a useful ally in President Bush s war on terror.

The US operates an air base with 1000 ground troops at Khanabad 
outside the Uzbek capital Tashkent. The former Soviet facility 
is used for operations in Afghanistan, and to date the US has 
supplied the country with some $800 million in military and 
humanitarian aid.

More to the point, Uzbekistan has a key role to play in 
supporting Washington s wider interests. Khanabad is part of the 
ring of air force bases, or  lily pads  as defence secretary 
Donald Rumsfeld calls them, which are used to project US 
authority over the surrounding countries and keep a close watch 
on the oil and gas supply lines running through the Caucasus and 
old Soviet central Asian republics.

The most important of these is the Baku to Ceyhan pipeline, 
which runs from Azerbaijan through Nagorno-Karabakh and Georgia 
on to the Black Sea port of Ceyhan.

Small wonder then that the Bush administration has been so loath 
to criticise Karimov, apart from conceding that the US will be 
limiting operations from Khanabad during the present period of 
local unrest. 

To re-use a well-worn US diplomatic clich : Karimov may be a son-
of-a-bitch, but at least he is our son-of-a-bitch.

As Craig Murray, formerly Britain s ambassador to Uzbekistan, 
put it last week:  That strategic interest explains the recent 
signature of the US-Afghan strategic partnership agreement, as 
well as Bush s strong support for Karimov. 

Murray, of course, is no longer part of the equation, having 
been sacked for, as he puts it,  voicing what is still the 
official British line on human rights .

For some time now   at least since the 2001 terror attacks   US 
diplomats have been talking about a new  great game  in the 
Central Asian region and the Caucasus. The reference is to the 
19th-century rivalry between Russia and Britain over the 
approaches to India, the jewel in the crown of Britain s 
imperial interests, but today s great game is all about oil and 
gas and the US is determined that it will be the main player.

The spoils are certainly worth the effort and help to explain 
Washington s willingness to turn a blind eye to human rights 
abuses in the region. According to the US Department of Energy, 
Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are capable of producing up to 130 
billion barrels of oil, and the Caspian Sea is reputed to sit on 
the world s largest untapped fossil fuel reserves.

To protect those interests Bush seems remarkably willing to 
tolerate a regime which has become a byword for ruthless 
authoritarianism. In Karimov s Uzbekistan torture and murder are 
commonplace; public confessions are beaten out of political 
prisoners with a ferocity and regularity which would not have 
been out of place in Stalin s time, and the harshness of the 
regime prevents the formation and encouragement of the kind of 
opposition groups which prompted the  rose revolution  in 
Georgia and the  orange revolution  in Ukraine. 

In any other country Karimov s behaviour would have been enough 
for Bush to effect regime change but, apart from withdrawing a 
paltry $18 million in aid last year, the White House has been 
strangely mute on what is happening in Uzbekistan.

In response to questions about why an exception seems to have 
been made for Karimov, the State Department s regular response 
is that Russia or China would move quickly into the void left by 
the US, and that the country is not only an important ally in 
the war against terrorism but is also a strategically vital 
staging post.

In that respect Karimov has played his cards carefully. He 
blames the latest violence on a group associated with the 
Islamic Hizb-ut-Tahrir group, which the CIA believes has close 
links to al-Qaeda, and he knows only too well that Bush will be 
accused of being soft on terrorism if these leads are ignored.

By echoing language which Bush has already employed in the war 
against terrorism, Karimov has worked on Washington s fears 
about any terror group associated with fundamentalist Islamic 
interests.

For comfort, Karimov only has to look over the border to 
Kyrgyzstan, where the US initially hesitated before backing the 
opposition groups which ousted Askar Akayev from the presidency 
earlier this year. Partly the delay was prompted by alarm for 
the safety of the US air base at Bishkek and partly it came from 
concerns that the opposition might be linked to terrorists. 
Needless to say, Akayev played up those fears and they were 
taken very seriously indeed by the State Department. 

Four more US soldiers killed in Iraq

20 May 2005 16:52
The US military authorities in Iraq say four more of their 
soldiers have been killed in three attacks by insurgents.

One of them died this morning when his vehicle crashed after a 
roadside bomb exploded just north of Baghdad.

Two more were killed yesterday when insurgents in a car opened 
fire on their convoy in the centre of the capital.
 
A fourth soldier died in a mortar attack on Wednesday on a US 
base at Ramadi, west of Baghdad.

US soldier killed in Afghanistan bomb blast

KABUL: One US soldier was killed and three others were wounded 
in a bomb blast in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, US military 
spokeswoman Lieutenant Cindy Moore told AFP.

The casualties occurred during an armoured vehicle patrol in 
Shinkay district in the restive southern province of Zabul when 
an improvised explosive device detonated, Moore said.

Two of the soldiers were evacuated by helicopter to Kandahar for 
treatment, the US military said in a statement. "One died of his 
wounds at Kandahar. The other is in critical but stable 
condition and was in surgery at 6:30pm (1400 GMT)," it added.

The critically wounded soldier is expected to be transferred to 
a US medical facility in Germany for further treatment while the 
other two soldiers hurt in the blast were treated at a US 
military base in Qalat in Zabul province. Both of them are 
listed in a stable condition, the statement said, adding that an 
investigation into the blast was underway. afp

US military casualties in Iraq exceed 1,600 

www.chinaview.cn 2005-05-21 01:52:53 

WASHINGTON, May 20 (Xinhuanet) -- A total of 1,623 US soldiers 
have been killed in Iraq since the war started in March 2003, 
statistics released by the Pentagon on Friday showed. 

As of Friday morning, 1,244 American soldiers in Iraq have been 
killed in action, and 370 by non-hostile fire. Some 12,516 
soldiers have been injured, with nearly half of them returning 
to duty within 72 hours. 

Of the deaths, 1,480 were killed after May 1, 2003, when major 
combat operations were announced ended, and 139 were killed 
between March 19 and April 30, 2003. 

In the military's "Operation Enduring Freedom," 186 US soldiers 
have been killed. Of them, 143 were killed in and around 
Afghanistan, and 43 in other locations. Seventy-four were killed 
in action and 112 by non-hostile fire. The number of injured 
soldiers was 311. 

With the causalities rising in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US Army 
and Marines are having a difficult time to meet their recruiting 
targets this year. 

The active-duty Army, planning to attract 80,000 recruits in 
fiscal 2005 ending Sept. 30, was 15 percent behind its year-to-
date target in April, the third consecutive month that the Army 
missed its recruiting targets. 

The Marine Corps was 9 percent, or 260 contracts, short of its 
goal of April, the fourth straight month that the service missed 
its recruiting goals. Enditem 

I'd respond in some depth to your post, but clearly you're too 
stupid to go to college. 

But that ISN'T the same thing as "occupation". The US is trying 
to secure a nation until that nation is strong enough to 
maintain its own security. Clearly, as evidenced by the attacks 
on Iraqi police and security forces by the subhuman terrorists, 
Iraq is not yet ready.
=================================================================

Not yet ready to be occupied!
Don't worry, we'll just keep killing and killing until you idiot 
americans get the message!
Welcome to your new Vietnam!

Here's a homework assignment for the poster below: go back to 
your poly-sci professor and have him or her respond to my 
messages. The fact is that the US is liberating, NOT "occupying" 
Iraq. The "occupation" lie from the far left makes me puke 
whenever I encounter it. In oprder to fight a war, you have to 
show up. If you're fighting on foreign soil, then obviously you 
have to be on that foreign soil. 

But that ISN'T the same thing as "occupation". The US is trying 
to secure a nation until that nation is strong enough to 
maintain its own security. Clearly, as evidenced by the attacks 
on Iraqi police and security forces by the subhuman terrorists, 
Iraq is not yet ready.

But we're learning more each day about how the terrorists 
operate. For example, the terrorists were setting up mortars at 
night, putting blocks of ice into the mortars, and dropping the 
round into the mortar. By the time the ice melted, the mortars 
would fire the round, and no bad guys were anywhere to be found, 
having fled hours before.

As we gain knoweledge about the enemies, we gain power over 
them. bombings against US troops are limited mainly to roadside 
bombs. In other words, Iraq is becoming safer over time. Yes, it 
will take a long time, but the end result will be worth it.

I know that I've pissed off those of you who hate the US. Well 
good! I hope you ARE pissed! I hope you continue to snivel on 
these boards as you have been doing for a long time. Just 
remember: the extermination of subhuman raghead terrorists will 
continue to piss you off even more, so get ready.

Wow!
Iraqis should believe the U.S. government?
The same nation that promises freedom to Iraq, but has 
confiscated their oil reserves, which is their chief export, 
making it completely impossible for Iraq to support itself?
Which, in turn, perpetuates the supposed need for U.S. troops 
there?

It's amazing that there are still people in the world stupid 
enough to believe America's lies.

Wow! Really?
You mean just like they've left Germany and Japan?
And South Korea?

No more rape rooms, torture rooms, or other oppression under 
Saddam Hussein. The Iraqis want their nation, and they will have 
it. The US will leave when the attacks against Iraqi police and 
security forces by the terrorists (many of whom are Syrian)come 
to an end.

What We Iraqis Want
We want the Americans to go back home. Iraq is our country, not 
theirs. 
However, the Americans seem to think it is their country. It is 
not theirs now, nor will it ever be theirs, unless they kill all 
of us, men, women and children. 
We are raising our children to resist this illegal, this 
immoral, this un-Christian occupation. I am a Christian, my 
husband is a Muslim, we both want the Americans out. They are 
causing us nothing but harm, sickness, poverty and lawlessness. 

We did not like Saddam Hussein, but at least under him we had 
clean drinking water, good hospitals, food on the table, safety 
in the streets and our homes were not attacked day and night by 
foreign troops. All we have now is misery, poverty, disease and 
fear. We never know when American troops will raid our homes, 
steal our jewels and money, rape our women, beat our men and 
scare our chidren. 

I am an educator in Baghdad. The trauma suffered by our children 
will last for generations. This trauma will also make these 
children hate the Americans and the British, but the Americans 
more because we know that George Bush Jr. was behind this rape 
our country, its schools, it culture and its people. 

We will continue fighting back against this occupation, this 
rape, so long as any of us has a breath or an ounce of blood. We 
also know our Arab and Muslim and Christian brothers and sisters 
will come from other lands to help us drive out these devils 
that dress in the clothes of Americans. We also know that there 
are many Israelis here, both the Mossad and military advisors, 
and investors who are trying to steal our oil, our land and our 
resources. One day, we shall drive them all out, and may God 
punish these evil-doers. May Jesus Christ himself lead the 
charge against these devils who call themselves Christians and 
Jews. My husband prays that all Muslims will come to our aid, 
and I hope for Christians to stand up in their lands and condemn 
these devils who wear come to do us great harm. 

I hope this letter will awaken some to understand that we do not 
want the Americans here and we will do all we can to drive them 
out and we will not rest until they are all gone. 

Go home to your wives, your children, to your loved ones, do not 
stay here to torture and kill us, for us if stay, God will 
surely punish you and your country and you will lose your limbs, 
your life and also eventually your souls, your families and you 
will end us with nightmares and sickness from the Depleted 
Uranium and your own sense of guilt for having killed Iraqis for 
the devil himself, George W. Bush   may he be damned unto hell 
itself and burn eternally. 

US 'backed illegal Iraqi oil deals' 

Report claims blind eye was turned to sanctions busting by 
American firms 

Julian Borger and Jamie Wilson in Washington
Tuesday May 17, 2005
The Guardian 

The United States administration turned a blind eye to extensive 
sanctions-busting in the prewar sale of Iraqi oil, according to 
a new Senate investigation. 
A report released last night by Democratic staff on a Senate 
investigations committee presents documentary evidence that the 
Bush administration was made aware of illegal oil sales and 
kickbacks paid to the Saddam Hussein regime but did nothing to 
stop them. 

The scale of the shipments involved dwarfs those previously 
alleged by the Senate committee against UN staff and European 
politicians like the British MP, George Galloway, and the former 
French minister, Charles Pasqua. 

In fact, the Senate report found that US oil purchases accounted 
for 52% of the kickbacks paid to the regime in return for sales 
of cheap oil - more than the rest of the world put together. 

"The United States was not only aware of Iraqi oil sales which 
violated UN sanctions and provided the bulk of the illicit money 
Saddam Hussein obtained from circumventing UN sanctions," the 
report said. "On occasion, the United States actually 
facilitated the illicit oil sales. 

The report is likely to ease pressure from conservative 
Republicans on Kofi Annan to resign from his post as UN 
secretary general. 

The new findings are also likely to be raised when Mr Galloway 
appears before the Senate subcommittee on investigations today. 

The Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow arrived yesterday in 
Washington demanding an apology from the Senate for what he 
called the "schoolboy dossier" passed off as an investigation 
against him. 

"It was full of holes, full of falsehoods and full of value 
judgments that are apparently only shared here in Washington," 
he said at Washington Dulles airport. 

He told Reuters: "I have no expectation of justice ... I come 
not as the accused but as the accuser. I am [going] to show just 
how absurd this report is." 

Mr Galloway has denied allegations that he profited from Iraqi 
oil sales and will come face to face with the committee in what 
promises to be one of the most highly charged pieces of 
political theatre seen in Washington for some time. 

Yesterday's report makes two principal allegations against the 
Bush administration. Firstly, it found the US treasury failed to 
take action against a Texas oil company, Bayoil, which 
facilitated payment of "at least $37m in illegal surcharges to 
the Hussein regime". 

The surcharges were a violation of the UN Oil For Food 
programme, by which Iraq was allowed to sell heavily discounted 
oil to raise money for food and humanitarian supplies. However, 
Saddam was allowed to choose which companies were given the 
highly lucrative oil contracts. Between September 2000 and 
September 2002 (when the practice was stopped) the regime 
demanded kickbacks of 10 to 30 US cents a barrel in return for 
oil allocations. 

In its second main finding, the report said the US military and 
the state department gave a tacit green light for shipments of 
nearly 8m barrels of oil bought by Jordan, a vital American 
ally, entirely outside the UN-monitored Oil For Food system. 
Jordan was permitted to buy some oil directly under strict 
conditions but these purchases appeared to be under the counter. 

The report details a series of efforts by UN monitors to obtain 
information about Bayoil's oil shipments in 2001 and 2002, and 
the lack of help provided by the US treasury. 

After repeated requests over eight months from the UN and the US 
state department, the treasury's office of foreign as sets 
control wrote to Bayoil in May 2002, requesting a report on its 
transactions but did not "request specific information by UN or 
direct Bayoil to answer the UN's questions". 

Bayoil's owner, David Chalmers, has been charged over the 
company's activities. His lawyer Catherine Recker told the 
Washington Post: "Bayoil and David Chalmers [said] they have 
done nothing illegal and will vigorously defend these reckless 
accusations." 

The Jordanian oil purchases were shipped in the weeks before the 
war, out of the Iraqi port of Khor al-Amaya, which was operating 
without UN approval or surveillance. 

Investigators found correspondence showing that Odin Marine Inc, 
the US company chartering the seven huge tankers which picked up 
the oil at Khor al-Amaya, repeatedly sought and received 
approval from US military and civilian officials that the ships 
would not be confiscated by US Navy vessels in the Maritime 
Interdiction Force (MIF) enforcing the embargo. 

Odin was reassured by a state department official that the 
US "was aware of the shipments and has determined not to take 
action". 

The company's vice president, David Young, told investigators 
that a US naval officer at MIF told him that he "had no 
objections" to the shipments. "He said that he was sorry he 
could not say anything more. I told him I completely understood 
and did not expect him to say anything more," Mr Young said. 

An executive at Odin Maritime confirmed the senate account of 
the oil shipments as "correct" but declined to comment further. 

It was not clear last night whether the Democratic report would 
be accepted by Republicans on the Senate investigations 
committee. 

The Pentagon declined to comment. The US representative's office 
at the UN referred inquiries to the state department, which fail 
to return calls. FROM ThE Guardian

The deserters: Awol crisis hits the US forces - The most recent 
Pentagon figures suggest there are 5,133 troops missing from 
duty. HA HA!!:D (SWEET:The most recent Pentagon figures suggest 
there are 5,133 troops missing from duty. HA HA!!:D SWEET) 
The deserters: Awol crisis hits the US forces
As the death toll of troops mounts in Iraq and Afghanistan, 
America's military recruiting figures have plummeted to an all-
time low. Thousands of US servicemen and women are now refusing 
to serve their country. Andrew Buncombe reports 
16 May 2005 
Sergeant Kevin Benderman cannot shake the images from his head. 
There are bombed villages and desperate people. There are dogs 
eating corpses thrown into a mass grave. And most unremitting of 
all, there is the image of a young Iraqi girl, no more than 
eight or nine, one arm severely burnt and blistered, and the 
sound of her screams.

Last January, these memories became too much for this veteran of 
the war in Iraq. Informed his unit was about to return, he told 
his commanders he wanted out and applied to be considered a 
conscientious objector. The Army refused and charged him with 
desertion. Last week, his case - which carries a penalty of up 
to seven years' imprisonment - started before a military judge 
at Fort Stewart in Georgia.

"If I am sincere in what I say and there's consequences because 
of my actions, I am prepared to stand up and take it," Sgt 
Benderman said. "If I have to go to prison because I don't want 
to kill anybody, so be it."

The case of Sgt Benderman and those of others like him has 
focused attention on the thousands of US troops who have gone 
Awol (Absent Without Leave) since the start of President George 
Bush's so-called war on terror. The most recent Pentagon figures 
suggest there are 5,133 troops missing from duty. Of these 2,376 
are sought by the Army, 1,410 by the Navy, 1,297 by the Marines 
and 50 by the Air Force. Some have been missing for decades.

But campaigners say the true figure could be far higher. Staff 
who run a volunteer hotline to help desperate soldiers and 
recruits who want to get out, say the number of calls has 
increased by 50 per cent since 9/11. Last year alone, the GI 
Rights Hotline took more than 30,000 calls. At present, the 
hotline gets 3,000 calls a month and the volunteers say that by 
the time a soldier or recruit dials the help-line they have 
almost always made up their mind to get out by one means or 
another.

"People are calling us because there is a real problem," said 
Robert Dove, a Quaker who works in the Boston office of the 
American Friends Service Committee, one of several volunteer 
groups that have operated the hotline since 1995. "We do not 
profess to be lawyers or therapists but we do provide both types 
of support."

The people calling the hotline range from veterans such as Sgt 
Benderman to recruits such as Jeremiah Adler, an idealistic 18-
year-old from Portland, Oregon, who joined the Army believing he 
could help change its culture. Within days of arriving for his 
basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia, he realised he had made 
a mistake and said the Army simply wanted to turn him into 
a "ruthless, cold-blooded killer".

Mr Adler begged to be sent home and even pretended to be 
 

Islamic Army in Iraq Missile Fire Downs Iraq Chopper; 11 Dead; 
Includes Aftermath and Execution Video of Surviver of Helicopter 
Crash
A commercial helicopter was shot down by missile fire north of 
the Iraqi capital Thursday, killing 11 people, including six 
American contractors, officials said.

Bulgaria's Defense Ministry said the Russian-made helicopter was 
downed by missile fire and the victims included a three-member 
Bulgarian crew. 

A Toronto-based charter company said there were two bodyguards 
from Fiji on board, while Bulgaria's Transport Ministry said 
they were from the Philippines.

The Philippine mission in Baghdad said it had no information 
that any of its nationals were on the helicopter. 

In Washington, State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said the 
six Americans were employees of Blackwater Security Consulting a 
subsidiary of North Carolina-based Blackwater USA and were 
assisting the Bureau of Diplomatic Security in protecting 
American diplomats in Iraq. 

"They played a critical role in our effort to bring a better way 
of life to the people of a country who have not experienced 
freedom and opportunity for many years," Ereli said. 

He said he could not confirm the cause of the crash. 

Two U.S. military officials in Baghdad initially said the 
helicopter was contracted by the Defense Department, but the 
U.S. Embassy later said that was untrue. It gave no information 
on the contractor. 

It was unclear whether the civilian employees of Blackwater were 
under contract to the Pentagon or the State Department, U.S. 
officials in Washington said. 

On March 13, two American security contractors working for 
Blackwater Security were killed and a third was wounded in a 
roadside bombing south of Baghdad on the main road to Hillah. 

Last year, four Blackwater employees were killed in Fallujah, 
and their bodies were burned and mutilated. Two of the corpses 
were strung up on a bridge over the Euphrates River. 

The deaths touched off a Marine assault on insurgents in the 
city. 

Ereli said the U.S. government "routinely" hires 
contractors "around the world" to provide security for 
diplomats, facilities or the activities of people connected with 
the government.

The price of liberty is the spilled blood of muslime terrorists.

"Spilled" is translated to "spilt" to those of you who want to 
role play the prescriptivist grammarian.

So am I supposeed to cry when some piece of shit terrorist 
shoots at our troops? Fuck them and fuck you too if you don't 
like it. As I said, I love it when those subhumans die the 
deaths they deserve. My conscience is clear. I remain 
unapologetic. The rags will keep on dying that way unless they 
back off. 

You make me sick that you find enjoyment of the death of 
ANYBODY! I don't care if they are Arab or American. Its 
disgusting.
..............................................................
I don't care what you say. No amount of Barbarity will ever 
erase what your mussie dogs did to innocent westernerns in Iraq.
I say hang em high by the balls!!

You make me sick that you find enjoyment of the death of 
ANYBODY! I don't care if they are Arab or American. Its 
disgusting.

Why do people have to be so racist and judgemental? I'm 
only 15 and I understand better than most adults that this 
war on terror is completely stupid. They are trying to tell us 
that Arabs are horrible people and that their religion is evil. 
When its only because of a few groups of people that are 
causing the damages. We should NOT still be in Iraq or 
Afghanistan. They can handle their problems themselves 
and if they needed our help they would of asked!

I enjoy seeing iraqi, afghani, and syrian subhumans killed in 
record numbers to superior American troops, training, and 
firepower. I enjoy watching the terrorist rags get cut down as 
they shit their pants when the U.S. MARINES show up! I have a 
video clip of two subhuman terrorists getting shot to pieces by 
U.S. Army helicopter gunfire. One of them makes the fatal 
mistake of trying to shoot at the helicopter, but soon finds out 
that he made a mistake as the copter gunner shoots his legs off. 

The terrorist then begins to crawl around on the ground, with 
the remaining tissue of what was once his legs trailing him. 
Frantic, he searches for cover, but in the next five seconds 
it's all over as the American gunner then shoots off one of the 
terrorist's arms. The terrorist is writhing in agony, and the 
gun battle ends as the terrorist's head explodes like a 
cantelope would if someone put a stick of TNT in it and lit it. 

I give this a five star rating! Truly some of the best video 
ever captured on film.

Oh yeah: the other subhuman sack-of-shit terrorist is 
exterminated more quickly. If you look at the video you can 
actually see his sternum fall right out of his chest before he 
hits the ground dead! AMAZING video! You MUST see this tape!

I totally agree with you regarding the greatness of this video.
Do you have the URL to this Clip??
Can you please post it.

George Galloway, vociferous leader of the UK Muslim party, had a 
shouting match in the US Senate today. He was so desperate to 
avoid the oil-for-food scandal charges brought against him that 
he resorted to shouting at US Senators rather than addressing 
the issues. He has something to hide. The man is a dishonest 
coward who is only worthy of licking the bottoms of Tony Blair's 
shoes. Galloway's community is heavily populated by western-
hating muslime. Fuck Galloway and anyone who supports him. 

Your sources are laughable, you moronic asswipe. The fact is 
that NOT ONLY IS THE u.s. WINNING THE WAR, THEY'RE SHOVING THE 
FACES OF THE ENEMIES INTO THE MUD!!

25 MILLION Iraqis are no longer living in fear of Saddam and his 
sons (whom you've no doubt fantasized about giving blow jobs 
to), free elections occurred DESPITE the very best that the 
terrorists could do to stop it, and every day Iraq gets a little 
stronger than it was the day before. On balance, Noam, the cunts 
who plant roadside bombs are getting weaker and less effective. 

Now I know you hate America, so the truth must be especially 
painful for you. It must also be very embarrassing for you, 
since your sources have zero credibility. You must be desperate 
to have come up with those sources, Noam. I'll stick with Fox, 
because not only will I hear as objective a news report as there 
is on Earth, I know that by watching Fox you'll snivel and bitch 
about it like the helpless little girl you are.

BTW, Noamie, your arrogance reveals you for the weak little 
nobody you are. Your insults toward those who obtain the news 
from a news source which YOU don't approve of illustrates how 
intolerant you are of anyone who differs with you on the war 
and, I suspect, anything else. 

If you need a tissue, I'll give you a few pages of my Q'uran 
toilet paper.  

ameriKKKa is NOT winning in Iraq.  I have posted this MANY 
times.
They went there on a LIE: WMDs
Their marines are DYING every day.
Their troops are stretched way too thinly.
They don't even have enough resources to armour their shitty 
humvees. (and Donald Rumsfeld couldn't give a shit).
They come back from Iraq to live at homeless shelters and live 
off food stamps.
buSSh is a moron: See www.dubyaspeak.com for irrefutable AUDIO 
proof!
The yanks are being LIED to about the numbers of dead.
You have NOT won the Iraqis "hearts and minds" see:

Iraq is a bloody no man's land. America has failed to win the 
war. But has it lost it?

That depends on the objective. 
Did the US get Saddam's 'nookular' weapons? No, the US did not. 
They never existed. So, in terms of that objective, the US has 
lost. 

Did the US punish Saddam for supporting Al Qaeda? No. Even the 
US Government admitted there was no such support. Al Qaeda and 
Saddam were political opposites. So, in terms of that 
objective, the US has lost. 

Did the US get revenge for 9-11? No, the Us now admits Saddam 
had nothing to do with 9-11. So, in terms of that objective, 
the US has lost. 

Did the US gain cheap oil? No, the US is spending $5 billion a 
month to get back $150 million worth of oil. So, in terms of 
that objective, the US has lost. 

Did the US free the Iraqi people from Saddam's thugs? No, the 
US interim authority has hired most of them back to fulfill the 
same tasks they had before. So, in terms of that objective, the 
US has lost. 

Did the US end the threat of terrorism? Hardly. The Us is more 
hated now than at any other time in the nation's history. So, 
in terms of that objective, the US has lost. 

I don't think there is any question that at least in terms of 
the war's stated objectives, the US has lost, and indeed could 
never have won. 

RAF Hercules downed by AA fire in Iraq
The Telegraph is reporting that the RAF Hercules which crashed 
January 30, 2005 - the day of the Iraqi elections - was downed 
by an AA weapon.

An interim Ministry of Defence report has ruled out almost 
everything apart from enemy fire and it was suggested that a 
missile or rocket-propelled grenade could have brought down the 
aircraft.

But an official told The Daily Telegraph yesterday that the 
report concluded that the Hercules had been shot down by anti-
aircraft artillery, as it flew at a low altitude, possibly 
150ft.

"It was shredded by a multi-barrelled 20mm canon," the official 
said. "They have worked out that's what caused the crash."

The gun is believed to have been a 1960s twin-barrel Zu-23, 
made in China or the Soviet Union, left over from the Saddam 
Hussein regime.

It has an effective range of 2,000 yards and can be mounted on 
a lorry or set on wheels.

It is not known why the Hercules, which was equipped with 
sophisticated defensive measures, was flying at low altitude 
for the 40-minute trip.

i enjoyed seeing ugly babies die in oklahoma city too. it was a 
joy to see it. 911 was well deserved too. marines wanted to hurt 
people in iraq and now they are so stressed out from feeling 
constant fear they will never get over it. never! 

soon US iraq soldiers will have their own blogs and we can tell 
them they commited sick murders for jews and tell them the bible 
says " a man who commits murder is digging his grave as fast as 
he can, don't try to stop him" and we can tell these "heroes" 
they did a evil, sick thing and will face god's wrath. they will 
be burned alive by satan over & over for eternity once they die. 
satan will stab them in their eyeballs then heal them and then 
do it all over again once they end up in hell for murdering 
iraqi children and women. they give candy to iraqi kids to lure 
them over to protect themselves from insurgent gunfire. they are 
cowards and swine & pukes and hopefully they will die of their 
injuries soon.


the iraqis taught 1,600 of them a lesson in religious tolerance. 

america only want religious tolerance in iraq for iraqi & non-
iraqi jews.

I loved 9-11!
I loved the Oklahomo City bombing!
I loved seeing the space shuttle go up in flames!
I love seeing the Marines come home in body bags!

Because: Americans are shit, and they all deserve to die!

I love that the Marines are kicking ass. I love that the 
terrorists are getting the shit kicked out of them while pussies 
like you snivel about it! LOL You can post as much anti-American 
propaganda as you want, you fucking worthless little shit, but 
the fact is that the Americans are mainly successful in this 
war. OK, time for you to post some more of your stupid shit and 
prove yet again what a total pussy you are with your ensuing 
snivelling. DAMN you are boring and dull...

Well here's two good reasons why ameriKKKans are CUNTS:

Then this:
A US marine, captured on film shooting a wounded Iraqi at point 
blank range during last year's assault on Falluja, will not be 
formally charged.


The CBS News on Wednesday said it had learned that military 
investigators had concluded insufficient evidence existed to 
formally charge the marine with murder.

However, Marine spokesman Captain Dan McSweeney said he had 
been informed by the Navy Criminal Investigative Services - 
which is investigating the killing - that "the case is still 
very much open." 

The shooting on 13 November occurred during a search of a 
mosque. 

The killing   filmed by an embedded cameraman working for the 
NBC network   sparked global outrage and was described by the 
International Committee of the Red Cross as a demonstration 
of "utter contempt for humanity."

In the incident, a trooper raised his rifle and shot point 
blank at an apparently unarmed, wounded Iraqi who was slumped 
against one of the mosque walls.

Unarmed

Although the Iraqis were found to be unarmed, investigators 
said the Marine believed the man he shot was trying to reach a 
weapon.

The rifleman was withdrawn from combat pending the results of 
the investigation, but the graphic footage enraged many.

The raid on Falluja was part of an attempt to regain the city 
ahead of Iraq's January elections.

In a seperate development, a London-newspaper has reported that 
as many as 11 more British soldiers could face court martial 
over the case of a fatal beating of an Iraqi civilian and other 
instances of abuse.

British investigations

Without citing sources, The Times said that army lawyers were 
considering bringing charges against 11 more soldiers linked to 
abuse cases that led to deaths of Iraqis.

The report comes a day after two British soldiers were found 
guilty of mistreating Iraqis in the city of Basra. A third had 
already pleaded guilty to one charge of assault.

The defence ministry in London confirmed that army prosecutors 
were considering nine cases, three of them involving alleged 
abuse.

Seven soldiers from the 3rd Parachute Regiment have already 
been charged with murder and violent disorder, and face court 
martial over the death of an Iraqi civilian in southern Iraq in 
May 2003.

The 11 new cases could be linked to that death, as well as two 
other alleged instances of abuse in Iraq that led to deaths, 
The Times said.

FISK: America's Shame, Two Years On From "Mission Accomplished"
By: stopwar on: 14.05.2005 [17:36 ] (404 reads)
 May 14, 2005 
By Robert Fisk 

Jihad Unspun NOT The Independent (that should create debate!)
 
(8097 bytes)    

Two years after "Mission Accomplished", whatever moral stature 
the United States could claim at the end of its invasion of 
Iraq has long ago been squandered in the torture and abuse and 
deaths at Abu Ghraib. That the symbol of Saddam Hussein's 
brutality should have been turned by his own enemies into the 
symbol of their own brutality is a singularly ironic epitaph 
for the whole Iraq adventure. We have all been contaminated by 
the cruelty of the interrogators and the guards and prison 
commanders. 

But this is not only about Abu Ghraib. There are clear and 
proven connections now between the abuses at Abu Ghraib and the 
cruelty at the American's Bagram prison in Afghanistan and 
Guantanamo Bay. Curiously, General Janis Karpinski, the only 
senior US officer facing charges over Abu Ghraib, admitted to 
me a year earlier when I visited the prison that she had been 
at Guantanamo Bay, but that at Abu Ghraib she was not permitted 
to attend interrogations - which seems very odd. 

A vast quantity of evidence has now been built up on the system 
which the Americans have created for mistreating and torturing 
prisoners. I have interviewed a Palestinian who gave me 
compelling evidence of anal rape with wooden poles at Bagram - 
by Americans, not by Afghans. 

Many of the stories now coming out of Guantanamo - the sexual 
humiliation of Muslim prisoners, their shackling to seats in 
which they defecate and urinate, the use of pornography to make 
Muslim prisoners feel impure, the female interrogators who wear 
little clothing (or, in one case, pretended to smear menstrual 
blood on a prisoner's face) - are increasingly proved true. 
Iraqis whom I have questioned at great length over many hours, 
speak with candor of terrifying beatings from military and 
civilian interrogators, not just in Abu Ghraib but in US bases 
elsewhere in Iraq. 

At the American camp outside Fallujah, prisoners are beaten 
with full plastic water bottles which break, cutting the skin. 
At Abu Ghraib, prison dogs have been used to frighten and to 
bite prisoners. 

How did this culture of filth start in America's "war on 
terror"? The institutionalized injustice which we have 
witnessed across the world, the vile American "renditions" in 
which prisoners are freighted to countries where they can be 
roasted, electrified or, in Uzbekistan, cooked alive in fat? As 
Bob Herbert wrote in The New York Times, what seemed mind-
boggling when the first pictures emerged from Abu Ghraib is now 
routine, typical of the abuse that has "permeated the Bush 
administration's operations". 

Amnesty, in a chilling 200-page document in October, traced the 
permeation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's memos into 
the prisoner interrogation system and the weasel-worded 
authorization of torture. In August 2003, for example, only a 
few months after Bush spoke under the "Mission Accomplished" 
banner, a Pentagon report stated that "in order to respect the 
President's inherent constitutional authority to manage a 
military campaign, the US law prohibiting torture must be 
construed as inapplicable to interrogations undertaken pursuant 
to his Commander- in-Chief authority." What does that mean 
other than permission from Bush to torture? 

A 2004 Pentagon report uses words designed to allow 
interrogators to use cruelty without fear of court 
actions: "Even if the defendant knows that severe pain will 
result from his actions, if causing such harm is not his 
objective, he lacks the requisite specific intent to be guilty 
of torture even though the defendant did not act in good 
faith." 

The man who directly institutionalized cruel sessions of 
interrogation in Abu Ghraib was Major-General Geoffrey Miller, 
the Guantanamo commander who flew to Abu Ghraib to "Gitmo-ize 
the confinement operation" there. There followed the increased 
use of painful shackling and the frequent forcible stripping of 
prisoners. Maj-Gen Miller's report following his visit in 2003 
spoke of the need for a detention guard force at Abu Ghraib 
that "sets the conditions for the successful interrogation and 
exploitation of the internees/detainees". According to Gen 
Karpinski, Maj-Gen Miller said the prisoners "are like dogs, 
and if you allow them to believe they're more than a dog, then 
you've lost control of them". 

The trail of prisons that now lies across Iraq is a shameful 
symbol not only of our cruelty but of our failure to create the 
circumstances in which a new Iraq might take shape. You may 
hold elections and create a government, but when this military 
sickness is allowed to spread, the whole purpose of democracy 
is overturned. The "new" Iraq will learn from these 
interrogation centers how they should treat prisoners and, 
inevitably, the "new" Iraqis will take over Abu Ghraib and 
return it to the status it had under Saddam and the whole 
purpose of the invasion (or at least the official version) will 
be lost. 

With an insurgency growing ever more vicious and 
uncontrollable, the emptiness of Mr Bush's silly boast is 
plain. The real mission, it seems, was to institutionalize the 
cruelty of Western armies, staining us forever with the 
depravity of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and Bagram - not to mention 
the secret prisons which even the Red Cross cannot visit and 
wherein who knows what vileness is conducted. What, I wonder, 
is our next "mission"?

Iraq bomb kills US soldier, 8 Iraqis shot in clash 
14 May 2005 06:09:10 GMT 


BAGHDAD, May 14 (Reuters) - A car bomb killed a U.S. soldier in 
Iraq and U.S. troops shot dead eight Iraqis, including five 
civilians, during an attack on a patrol, the American military 
said. 

The soldier was killed and four others were wounded when a car 
bomb exploded on Friday near their patrol near Baiji, about 180 
km (112 miles) north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a 
statement. 

At least 1,238 U.S. military and Pentagon personnel have been 
killed in action in Iraq through Friday since the start of the 
2003 invasion, according to Pentagon figures. 

U.S. troops killed three insurgents who fired on their convoy 
after trying to ram it on Friday in Mosul, 390 km (240 miles) 
north of Baghdad, the military said. 

The soldiers then opened fire on two cars that approached the 
patrol and appeared to be hostile, killing five civilians, the 
military said. The incident is under investigation.

that douchebag?

Fierce fighting claims lives of 4 US marines
The US military says four marines have died of wounds sustained 
in fierce fighting in western Iraq close to the Syrian border. 

The deaths brought US losses over the past week to 25, making it 
one of the deadliest periods for US troops in Iraq since the 
2003 invasion. 

The four marines died on Friday after being fatally wounded in a 
roadside bombing earlier in the week. 

"The assault amphibian in which they were riding struck an 
explosive device during 'Operation Matador' in Karabilah" near 
the Euphrates Valley town of Al Qaim, the US military said. 

The deaths brought US losses from the week-old Operation Matador 
to nine. 

Backed by warplanes and attack helicopters, 1,000 US troops are 
trying to deny "safe havens" to insurgents loyal to Al Qaeda's 
Iraq frontman Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a US official said. 

Warplanes bombed an insurgent hide-out and a roadblock where 
fighters had been stopping cars and questioning occupants, the 
US military said. 

US commanders believe more than 100 insurgents and foreign 
fighters have been killed in the operation, the military said. 

Operations have focused on towns on the Euphrates River in areas 
north and west of Qaim, which is believed to be the insurgents' 
base of operations. 

Marines in Qaim have seen clashes between rival groups, the 
statement said. 

"Mortar and rocket fire along with machine gun and small arms 
fire is routine between the insurgents," the military said.

US MARINES KILLED IN IRAQ 

Four US Marines have been killed while fighting in western Iraq. 

The American military has confirmed the death toll of US 
personnel killed during a week-long operation has now reached 
nine. 


The four marines were killed when their transporter was hit by a 
bomb near Karabilah, close to the Syrian border. 

More than 100 insurgents and foreign fighters have been killed 
during Operation Matador. 

It is aimed at allies of Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab al-
Zarqawi. 

Meanwhile Prime Minister Tony Blair's special envoy to Iraq has 
warned of further violence in the country. 

Ann Clwyd said: "The government of course has only just formed, 
it took a long time to get the various groups together. 

"Unfortunately I think we have to be prepared for further 
attacks through the transitional period as the terrorists try to 
disrupt the political process."

4 Marines Killed in Search for Insurgents 
Saturday May 14, 2005 7:28am 


OBEIDI, Iraq (AP) - Large numbers of U.S. forces supported by 
helicopters gathered outside this Euphrates River village 
Saturday, pushing ahead with their region-wide operation to wipe 
out supporters of Iraq's most wanted militant. The military said 
four more Marines were killed. Frightened residents retreated 
indoors as a large convoy of mainly Marines, backed by tanks 
redeployed several miles from Rommana to Obeidi, on the northern 
bank. 

Shelling began several hours later, damaging a house in the old 
part of this village and wounding five people, said Obeidi 
hospital doctor Saadallah Anad. He said he did not know if U.S. 
weapons fire hit the house but said helicopters were hovering 
over the area. 

"We are living in a catastrophic situation. We don't have 
medicines or equipment and we are worried that when our 
ambulances go out the Americans could strike at them," he said. 

The U.S. military said the four Marines were killed when their 
troop transporter was struck by a bomb near Karabilah, a village 
near Obeidi and close to the Syrian border. Their deaths brought 
to nine the number of U.S. casualties in the week-old campaign. 

Marine commanders estimated that more than 100 insurgents and 
foreign fighters have been killed in the campaign, aimed at 
allies of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The Jordanian-born militant has 
claimed responsibility for scores of bombings, ambushes and 
kidnappings. 

The military had no immediate comment on the Obeidi operation, 
but it appeared to signal a new phase in the high-profile 
offensive. 

Operation Matador was launched last Saturday in several villages 
close to the Syrian border known as major routes for foreign 
fighters entering Iraq to battle coalition forces. Residents 
said U.S. troops blocked the main road linking Obeidi with safer 
areas to the east outside the field of operations. 

"There is fear among the residents of Obeidi, but we don't think 
it (the village) has any military importance. There are no 
fighters in the village," said one resident, 35-year-old Khalaf 
Ali. 

The campaign, the largest since insurgents were forced from 
Fallujah six months ago, has killed more than 100 suspected 
foreign fighters allied with Jordanian-born militant Abu Musab 
al-Zarqawi, the military has said. Scores have also been 
captured. 

Al-Zarqawi, a Sunni Muslim terror mastermind, has claimed 
responsibility for scores of bombings, assassinations and 
kidnappings in a bid to derail the U.S.-backed, Shiite-led 
government. 

The offensive came amid a surge of militant attacks that have 
killed at least 430 people across Iraq since the government was 
announced April 28. 

Violence continued Saturday with three Iraqi street cleaners 
killed when a roadside bomb exploded apparently prematurely in 
Dora, a southern Baghdad neighborhood, said Dr. Zaid Adil of 
Yarmouk Hospital. 

A suicide bomber detonated his vehicle near an Iraqi police 
patrol in central Baqouba, north of the capital, wounding three 
policemen and a civilian, said police Col. Mudhafar Muhammed. 

A similar car bomb attack in central Baghdad on Saturday killed 
at least four Iraqis and injured 11, police said at the scene. 
The blast outside the former Ministry of Education destroyed 
cars and set fire to a minibus. 

In the northern city of Mosul a roadside bomb killed a 10-year-
old boy and wounded two Iraqi soldiers and a policeman on 
patrol, police Col. Wathiq Mohammed said. 

At least nine more Iraqis were killed Friday in a series of 
bombings, ambushes and other attacks. Also Friday, an American 
soldier was killed and four others wounded when a car bomb 
exploded in Beiji, 155 miles north of Baghdad, the military said 
in a statement. 

Obeidi is in Iraq's violent Anbar province, where Iraqi fighters 
with machine guns and grenade launchers have been setting up 
checkpoints in recent days, apparently in preparation to do 
battle. But here the streets were virtually empty Saturday as 
residents bolted doors, remained inside and waited for a 
possible U.S. offensive. 

Overnight, U.S. warplanes streaked noisily overhead and several 
loud explosions were heard in various locations throughout the 
region. 

U.S. military spokesman Capt. Jeffrey Pool said Marines are 
conducting a "cordon and search" operation in Obeidi "looking 
for insurgents, foreign fighters, weapons and IED making 
material." He said there were no airstrikes in Obeidi Saturday. 

This remote desert region is a haven for foreign combatants who 
slip across the border along ancient smuggling routes and 
collect weapons to use in some of Iraq's deadliest attacks, 
according to the military. 

The U.S. military has confirmed five Marine deaths so far and 
says about 100 insurgents have been killed in the operation. 

But a Washington Post reporter embedded with U.S. forces put the 
American death toll Thursday at seven - six of them from one 
squad. 

At least 1,613 members of the U.S. military have died since the 
beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an 
Associated Press count.

Nine U.S. troops,100 rebels killed in Iraq assault 
Sat May 14, 2005 5:49 AM ET 


BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Nine American troops have been killed in an 
offensive against insurgents and militants in Iraq's most 
rebellious province, the U.S. military said on Saturday. 

Four of those were killed on Wednesday when their assault 
amphibian vehicle hit an explosive device, the military said. 

Backed by aircraft, U.S. Marines, sailors and soldiers launched 
Operation Matador one week ago in a bid to root out insurgents 
and militants from the western Anbar province. 

The U.S. military estimated about 100 guerrillas were killed in 
the assault. 

Based mostly in Anbar, insurgents have stepped up suicide 
bombings and other attacks since Iraq announced its new 
government on April 28, killing more than 400 people. 

The Anbar offensive is focused on an area near the Euphrates 
north and west of the town of Qaim, close to the Syrian border, 
which Iraqi officials say is used by insurgents to cross over 
into Iraq and carry out attacks. 

Damascus denies Iraqi accusations that it allows guerrillas to 
enter Iraq from its border. 

Marines launched several air strikes on targets on Friday, 
including a "terrorist" safe house, the military said. A second 
air raid targeted insurgents manning a vehicle checkpoint. 

The U.S. military said Marines in Qaim witnessed clashes between 
rival guerrilla groups. That could not be independently 
confirmed. But officials in Anbar say militant followers of al 
Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, have been clashing 
with tribal groups.

Iraq bomb kills US soldier, 8 Iraqis shot in clash 
14 May 2005 06:09:10 GMT 


BAGHDAD, May 14 (Reuters) - A car bomb killed a U.S. soldier in 
Iraq and U.S. troops shot dead eight Iraqis, including five 
civilians, during an attack on a patrol, the American military 
said. 

The soldier was killed and four others were wounded when a car 
bomb exploded on Friday near their patrol near Baiji, about 180 
km (112 miles) north of Baghdad, the U.S. military said in a 
statement. 

At least 1,238 U.S. military and Pentagon personnel have been 
killed in action in Iraq through Friday since the start of the 
2003 invasion, according to Pentagon figures. 

U.S. troops killed three insurgents who fired on their convoy 
after trying to ram it on Friday in Mosul, 390 km (240 miles) 
north of Baghdad, the military said. 

The soldiers then opened fire on two cars that approached the 
patrol and appeared to be hostile, killing five civilians, the 
military said. The incident is under investigation. 

Real Wages Fall at Fastest Rate in 14 Years 
    By Christopher Swann 
    The Financial Times 

    Wednesday 10 May 2005 

    Real wages in the US are falling at their fastest rate in 
14 years, according to data surveyed by the Financial Times. 

    Inflation rose 3.1 per cent in the year to March but 
salaries climbed just 2.4 per cent, according to the Employment 
Cost Index. In the final three months of 2004, real wages fell 
by 0.9 per cent. 

    The last time salaries fell this steeply was at the start 
of 1991, when real wages declined by 1.1 per cent. 

    Stingy pay rises mean many Americans will have to work 
longer hours to keep up with the cost of living, and they could 
ultimately undermine consumer spending and economic growth. 

    Many economists believe that in spite of the unexpectedly 
large rise in job creation of 274,000 in April, the uneven 
revival in the labour market since the 2001 recession has made 
it hard for workers to negotiate real improvements in living 
standards. 

    Even after last month's bumper gain in employment, there 
are 22,000 fewer private sector jobs than when the recession 
began in March 2001, a 0.02 per cent fall. At the same point in 
the recovery from the recession of the early 1990s, private 
sector employment was up 4.7 per cent. 

    "There is still little evidence that workers are gaining 
much traction in their negotiations," said Paul Ashworth, US 
analyst at Capital Economics, the consultancy. "If this does 
not pick up, it raises the prospect of a sharper slowdown in 
consumer spending than we have been expecting." 

    Economists are divided over the best source for measuring 
pay increases in the US, since the government releases three 
main measures. A gauge of average hourly earnings is released 
with the employment report. This rose by 0.3 per cent in both 
March and April and 0.1 per cent in February. Even with a 
slight rise in the hours employees are working, from 33.7 to 
33.9, this suggests wages are struggling to keep pace with 
inflation. The gauge covers non-supervisory workers, about 80 
per cent of the workforce. 

    The Bureau of Economic Analysis figures for personal income 
showed wages rising at close to 6 per cent in 2004 but slowing 
down since. This measure also showed wages rising by just 0.3 
per cent in each of the past 2 months. This is a broader gauge 
and includes small businesses and professional partnerships, 
but it measures total corporate wage bill rather than wages per 
person. 

    The Employment Cost Index, seen by some as the most 
reliable measure, excludes overtime and professional 
partnerships.

BAGHDAD, May 12 (Reuters) - Three U.S. soldiers were killed in 
separate bomb attacks in Iraq on Thursday, the U.S. military 
said in statements. 

One, attached to Marine forces, died when a bomb hit his 
vehicle during combat operations east of Musayib, about 60 km 
(40 miles) south of Baghdad. Another died when his vehicle hit 
a roadside bomb in the east of the capital itself. 

The third was killed when an explosion struck a patrol near 
Samarra, 100 km (60 miles) north of Baghdad. Another soldier 
was wounded in that incident. 

The two weeks since the formation of a government from a 
parliament elected in January have seen a sharp increase in 
insurgent attacks on Iraqi and U.S. forces and on civilians. 

The three casualties on Thursday took the total of Americans 
killed since the 2003 invasion of Iraq to 1,614. 

Two US helicopter gunships reportedly downed in Qaim

BEIRUT, May 13 (Itar-Tass)   Iraqi insurgents downed two US 
helicopter gunships near the town of Qaim on the Syrian border 
on Thursday, the Al-Jazeera TV channel reported quoting the 
head of the city post office. He said the fate of the crews was 
unknown. 

Fourteen US servicemen and dozens of Iraqi insurgents were 
killed in five days of fighting in areas close to the Syrian 
border. 

On Thursday US marines blocked Qaim and shelled the town with 
incessant mortar fire and air raids. 

Al-Jazeera quoted the chief doctor of the city hospital as 
saying the fire on residential areas does not allow to rescue 
people from under the ruined houses. 

The humanitarian situation is deteriorating, as there are no 
food, water and medicine supplies. 

The US command wants to root out the supporters of most wanted 
militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. However according to Al-Jazeera, 
the militants left Qaid five days before the US offensive and 
are now attacking US forces from adjacent areas. 

Mine kills two U.S. Marines in Iraq

BAGHDAD, May 12 (Reuters) - Two U.S. Marines were killed on 
Wednesday when their armoured vehicle drove over a mine in 
northwest Iraq during an offensive against insurgents, the U.S. 
military said on Thursday. 

The military said 14 Marines were wounded in the blast. 

The Marines were taking part in Operation Matador, an offensive 
against insurgents and foreign fighters in northwestern Iraq 
near the Syrian border. 

Since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, at least 1,231 U.S. 
military and Pentagon personnel have been killed in action in 
Iraq. Including non-combat deaths the toll is 1,609. 

Iraq: Every member of one Marine squad killed or wounded

May 12, 2005 ANBAR0512 



HABAN, IRAQ   The explosion enveloped the armored vehicle in 
flames, sending orange balls of fire bubbling above the trees 
along the Euphrates River near the Syrian border. 

Marines in surrounding vehicles threw open their hatches and 
took off running across the plowed fields, toward the 
blackening metal of the destroyed vehicle. Shouting, they 
pulled to safety those they could, as the flames ignited the 
bullets, mortar rounds, flares and grenades inside, rocketing 
them into the sky and across pastures. 

Gunnery Sgt. Chuck Hurley emerged from the smoke and turmoil 
around the vehicle, circling toward the spot where helicopters 
would later land to pick up casualties. As he passed one group 
of Marines, he uttered just one sentence: "That was the same 
squad." 

Among the four Marines killed and 10 wounded when an explosive 
device erupted under their Amtrac Wednesday were the last 
battle-ready members of a squad that four days earlier had 
battled foreign fighters holed up in a house in the town of 
Ubaydi. In that fight, two squad members were killed and five 
were wounded. 

In 96 hours of fighting and ambushes in far western Iraq, the 
squad had just ceased to be. 

Every member of the squad   one of three that make up the 1st 
Platoon of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment   had 
been killed or wounded, Marines here said. All told, the 1st 
Platoon   which Hurley commands   had sustained 60 percent 
casualties, demolishing it as a fighting force. 

"They used to call it Lucky Lima," said Maj. Steve Lawson, 
commander of the company. "That turned around and bit us." 

Wednesday was the fourth day of fighting in far western Iraq, 
as the U.S. military continued an assault that has sent more 
than 1,000 Marines down the ungoverned north bank of the 
Euphrates River in search of foreign fighters crossing the 
border from Syria. Of seven Marines killed so far in the 
operation, six came come from Lima Company, 1st Platoon. 

Lima Company drew Marine Reservists from across Ohio into the 
conflict in Iraq. Some were too young to be bothered much by 
shaving. 

They rode to war on a Marine Amtrac, an armored vehicle that 
travels on tank-like treads. Marines in Iraq typically crowd 
thigh to thigh in the Amtrac, with one or two men perched on 
cardboard boxes of rations. 

On Monday, when the Marine assault on foreign fighters formally 
began, the young Marines of the squad from 1st Platoon were 
already exhausted. Their encounter at the house in Ubaydi that 
morning and the previous night had been the unintended first 
clash of the operation, pitting them against insurgents who 
fired armor-piercing bullets up through the floor. It took 12 
hours and five assaults by the squad   plus grenades, bombing 
by an F/A-18 attack plane, tank rounds and rockets at 20 yards  
 to kill the insurgents and permit recovery of the Marines' 
bodies. 

Afterward, they slept in the moving Amtrac, heads back and 
mouths open. Squad members spoke only to compare their 
knowledge on the condition of their wounded. Getting the latest 
news, they fell silent again. After one such half-hour of 
silence, a Marine offered a terse commendation for one of the 
squad members shot at Ubaydi: "Bunker's a good man." 

With the operation underway, Marine commanders kept the 1st 
Platoon largely to the back, letting its men rest. 

Commanders had hoped the operation would swiftly capture or 
kill large numbers of foreign fighters. But the foreigners, and 
everyone else here, had plenty of warning that the Marines were 
coming. 

By the time the squad from Lima Company crossed north of the 
Euphrates, villages consisted of little more than abandoned 
houses with fresh tire tracks leading off into pastures or 
homes occupied only by prepubescent boys or old men. 

This correspondent had just gotten off the Amtrac and the 
reconstructed squad from 1st Platoon was rolling toward the 
Euphrates in a row of armored vehicles, headed for more house 
searches, when the vehicle rolled over the explosive. 

Marines initially said they believed the blast was caused by 
two mines stacked on top of each other. But reports from some 
that they had seen an artillery round, and two hand-held radios 
near the blast site, raised suspicions that a remotely 
activated bomb had been used, Lawson said. 

"We passed right over it. We passed right over it," one of many 
Marines in the convoy ahead of the burning Amtrac said of the 
explosive, puzzling over why he was still alive. "That's the 
last of the squad," said another, Cpl. Craig Miller. 

Late Wednesday, helicopters flew out Hurley and the remaining 
members of 1st Platoon for time off. They are to return after 
the platoon is remade with new members.

The U.S. military is reeling from escalating casualties in 
Iraq. 

Since last Saturday at least 15 troops have died in combat in 
Iraq, mostly from explosions. Another two died in action in 
Afghanistan. 

The death toll is rivalling that of the six day period 
following the naming of the Iraq government on April 28. From 
that day until May 3, twenty U.S. soldiers were killed. 

The latest deaths came Wednesday when two Marines died and 14 
were wounded as an armoured vehicle in which they were 
traveling hit a mine during an offensive against insurgents in 
north-west Iraq. 

Monday saw Pfc. Stephen P. Baldwyn, 19, of Saltillo, Miss. and 
Lance Cpl. Taylor B. Prazynski, 20, of Fairfield, Ohio lose 
their lives as a result of wounds received from an explosion 
while conducting combat operations against enemy forces in 
Nasser Wa Salaam, and Al Karmah, Iraq. 

Also killed Monday was Lance Cpl. Marcus Mahdee, 20, of Fort 
Walton Beach, Fla., who died from an enemy explosion while 
conducting combat operations in the vicinity of Al Karmah, 
Iraq. 

Seven soldiers died Sunday. They were Lance Cpl. Lawrence R. 
Philippon, 22, of Hartford, Conn., who was killed by enemy 
small-arms fire while conducting combat operations in the 
vicinity of Al Qa im, Iraq, Cpl. Dustin A. Derga, 24, of 
Columbus, Ohio, who was also killed by small arms fire in 
Ubaydi, Iraq., Cpl. Richard P. Schoener, 22, of Hayes, La., who 
was killed in action in Alishang, Afghanistan, and Sgt. Gary A. 
Eckert Jr., 24, of Toledo, Ohio, who died in Balad, from 
injuries sustained earlier that day in Samarra, Iraq, when an 
improvised explosive device detonated near his HMMWV; and Staff 
Sgt. Thor H. Ingraham, 24, of Murrysville, Pa. and Pfc. Nicolas 
E. Messmer, 20, of Franklin, Ohio, who were killed in 
Khalidiyah, Iraq, when they were conducting combat operations 
and an improvised explosive device detonated near their HMMWV. 
Also killed was Lance Cpl. Nicholas C. Kirven, 21, of Richmond, 
Va., who died as the result of enemy action in Alishang, 
Afghanistan. 

Three Marines who died after explosions from improvised 
explosive devices in Al Anbar Province, Iraq on Saturday were 
Sgt. Aaron N. Cepeda Sr., 22, and Lance Cpl. Lance T. Graham, 
26, both of San Antonio, Texas, and Lance Cpl. Michael V. 
Postal, 21, of Glen Oaks, N.Y. 

A sailor who also died Saturday in combat was identified as 
Petty Officer Third Class Jeffery L. Wiener, 32, of Louisville, 
Ky., 

Also Saturday, Sgt. Michael A. Marzano, 28, of Greenville, Pa., 
died as the result of an explosion caused by a car bombing in 
Hadithah, Iraq. 

LET'S NUKE SYRIA!!

I and my family will spend 2 weeks in a Mosque in Iraq, on our 
knees, sucking the cocks of our Muslim brothers.

See you soon!

I'll be on a well-deserved holiday for a week; will be back soon 
to kick some mussie/leftist/atheist and all heathen ass soon.

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ OR it's too late for you All 
haethen!

A large group of Iraqi soldiers are moving down a road when they 
hear a voice call from behind a sand dune:

"One United States Marine is better than ten Iraqis."

The Iraqi commander quickly sends ten of this best soldiers over 
the dune, where upon a gun battle breaks out and continues for a 
few minutes, then silence.

The voice then calls out:

"One United States Marine is better than one hundred Iraqis!"

Furious, the Iraqi commander sends his next best 100 troops over 
the dune and instantly a huge firefight commences. After 10 
minutes of battle, again silence.

The American voice calls out again:

"One United States Marine is better than one thousand Iraqis!"

The enraged Iraqi commander musters one thousand fighters and 
sends them across the dune.  Cannons, rockets and machine guns 
ring out as a huge battle is fought.

Then silence.

Eventually one wounded Iraqi soldier crawls back over the dune 
and with his dying breath tells his commander:

"Don't send anymore men!

It's a trap!

There's TWO of them!"

drunken social evenings with your shit-for-brains cunts just 
like you and you just repeat them over & over. You can tell 
you're the same cunt posting even though you use different names 
because it's all exactly the same. It is better to know when to 
shutup or say nothing at all rather than reveal yourself to be a

Top Ten Signs You're a Christian

 

 
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods 
claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone 
denies the existence of yours.
 
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that 
people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem 
with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
 
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing 
in a Triune God.
 
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" 
attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing 
about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt 
in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups 
in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
 
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek 
claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem 
believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave 
birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then 
ascended into the sky.
 
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little 
loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few 
billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates 
recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and 
guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
 
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with 
the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though 
excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an 
infinite Hell of Suffering.  And yet consider your religion the 
most "tolerant" and "loving."

 
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics 
have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around 
on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you 
need to "prove" Christianity.
 
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to 
answered prayers.  You consider that to be evidence that prayer 
works.  And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was 
simply the will of God.
 
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and 
agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - 
but still call yourself a Christian.

Hitler said if a lie is repeated often enough and long enough, 
it would come to be perceived as truth. One such lie often 
repeated is  Islam is the fastest growing religion.  


Every day thousands of Muslim intellectuals are leaving Islam. 
They find Islam inconsistent with science, logics, human rights 
and ethics. Millions of Iranians already have left Islam. The 
enlightened Muslims of other nationalities are not far behind. 
This is the beginning of a mass exodus from Islam. It is a 
movement that is already in motion and nothing can stop it.  

THE WEAK POSTER BELOW LIVES HIS WHOLE LIFE IN FEAR

Message:
Islam is currently the fasting growing religion in America whose 
adherents hail from every race and ethnicity. In the United 
States, where Muslims number over six million, the Islamic faith 
has in many estimates surpassed Judaism and is believed to be 
the second largest religion in America after Christianity. 
According to one report, the Muslim population in America is 
said to be larger than that of the Presbyterians, Episcopalians, 
Methodists, and the Mormons. American Muslims outnumber 
Christian Scientists, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, 
Quakers, Mennonites, and Jehovah s Witnesses combined. The 
conversion rate among Americans is estimated to be at 135,000 
per year, with African-Americans making up the largest group of 
converts followed by American women, as well as a significant 
number coming from the Latino community. During the Gulf War 
alone, it was reported that approximately 3,000 Americans 
converted to Islam.
Islam is also the fastest growing religion in the world and has 
an estimated 1.2 billion adherents throughout the globe. But who 
are the faces and personalities behind these converts to Islam? 
Khadija, wife of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), was the first to 
convert to Islam. Some of the more well-known converts to Islam 
from more recent times are the following:

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz -- More popularly known as Malcom X; 
black-rights activist and religious leader. In 1964, after a 
pilgrimage to Mecca, he announced his conversion to orthodox 
Islam and his belief in the possibility of brotherhood between 
blacks and whites. 

Michael Wolfe   Author of The Hajj: An American's Pilgrimage to 
Mecca, and One Thousand Roads to Mecca: Ten Centuries of 
Travelers Writing About the Muslim Pilgrimage. Born of a 
Christian mother and Jewish father, he is most well known for 
his documentary on ABC s Nightline which aired on April 18, 1997 
called An American in Mecca. 

Muhammad Ali   Formerly Cassius Clay; three-time Heavy Weight 
Champion of the World. He converted to orthodox Islam in 1965. 

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar   Formerly Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor. Before 
the 1971-72 season Alcindor converted from Catholicism to Islam 
and took the name Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He played 20 seasons in 
the league with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers. By 
the time the 7 foot 2 basketball player retired in 1989, Abdul-
Jabbar was a six-time Most Valuable Player and is now one of the 
50 Greatest Players in NBA History. 

Yusuf Islam   Formerly Cat Stevens, world famous British pop 
singer. He converted to Islam in 1973 and changed his name to 
Yusuf Islam.

Amen; and that came from the mussie pig's mouth. 
You are so fearful of the truth that you are afraid to allow 
Christian missionary work in your God-forsaken Islamic Hell-
holes.
Muslim countries go to a great length in rejection God's true 
word; the Bible .
Yet we allow stinky run-down hate mongering mosques to spew in 
our midst.
So tell me isn't Islam is THE WEAK MIND FEAR THE REAL TRUTH!!!


True as the Lord Jesus Christ said;
'By your OWN mouth, You shall judge Thyself'. Amen 

Islam is currently the fasting growing religion in America whose 
adherents hail from every race and ethnicity. In the United 
States, where Muslims number over six million, the Islamic faith 
has in many estimates surpassed Judaism and is believed to be 
the second largest religion in America after Christianity. 
According to one report, the Muslim population in America is 
said to be larger than that of the Presbyterians, Episcopalians, 
Methodists, and the Mormons. American Muslims outnumber 
Christian Scientists, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, 
Quakers, Mennonites, and Jehovah s Witnesses combined. The 
conversion rate among Americans is estimated to be at 135,000 
per year, with African-Americans making up the largest group of 
converts followed by American women, as well as a significant 
number coming from the Latino community. During the Gulf War 
alone, it was reported that approximately 3,000 Americans 
converted to Islam.
Islam is also the fastest growing religion in the world and has 
an estimated 1.2 billion adherents throughout the globe. But who 
are the faces and personalities behind these converts to Islam? 
Khadija, wife of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), was the first to 
convert to Islam. Some of the more well-known converts to Islam 
from more recent times are the following:

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz -- More popularly known as Malcom X; 
black-rights activist and religious leader. In 1964, after a 
pilgrimage to Mecca, he announced his conversion to orthodox 
Islam and his belief in the possibility of brotherhood between 
blacks and whites. 

Michael Wolfe   Author of The Hajj: An American's Pilgrimage to 
Mecca, and One Thousand Roads to Mecca: Ten Centuries of 
Travelers Writing About the Muslim Pilgrimage. Born of a 
Christian mother and Jewish father, he is most well known for 
his documentary on ABC s Nightline which aired on April 18, 1997 
called An American in Mecca. 

Muhammad Ali   Formerly Cassius Clay; three-time Heavy Weight 
Champion of the World. He converted to orthodox Islam in 1965. 

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar   Formerly Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor. Before 
the 1971-72 season Alcindor converted from Catholicism to Islam 
and took the name Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He played 20 seasons in 
the league with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers. By 
the time the 7 foot 2 basketball player retired in 1989, Abdul-
Jabbar was a six-time Most Valuable Player and is now one of the 
50 Greatest Players in NBA History. 

Yusuf Islam   Formerly Cat Stevens, world famous British pop 
singer. He converted to Islam in 1973 and changed his name to 
Yusuf Islam. 

Hitler said if a lie is repeated often enough and long enough, 
it would come to be perceived as truth. One such lie often 
repeated is  Islam is the fastest growing religion .  

Despite the fact that Muslims by virtue of being poor and 
uneducated are much more reproductive than others, Islam as a 
religion is not growing but dying fast.  

More and more Muslims are discovering that the violence evinced 
by some of their coreligionists is not an aberration but is 
inspired by the teachings of the Quran and the examples set by 
its author. Muslims are becoming disillusioned with Islam. They 
find out that the mechanistic ritual of praying five times per 
day, reciting verses that they do not understand and indeed mean 
nothing, getting up at taxing hours of the morning and 
abstaining from food and water until the sunset are not means to 
becoming more spiritual but are instruments to control their 
mind. These enlightened Muslims no more heed to the fear 
mongering verses of the Quran that threaten to burn them and 
roast them in the fires of hell if they dare to think and 
question the validity of that book.   

Every day thousands of Muslim intellectuals are leaving Islam. 
They find Islam inconsistent with science, logics, human rights 
and ethics. Millions of Iranians already have left Islam. The 
enlightened Muslims of other nationalities are not far behind. 
This is the beginning of a mass exodus from Islam. It is a 
movement that is already in motion and nothing can stop it.  

However the exodus from Islam is not reserved to the 
intellectuals but also the average Muslims are finding that 
Islam is not the way to God but to ignorance, poverty and wars. 
They are leaving Islam to embrace other religions especially the 
Christianity.  

Perhaps it is best to listen to the truth coming from the mouth 
of the horse. The Internet site aljazeera.net published an 
interview with Ahmad Al Qataani               An important Islamic 
cleric who said:  In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to 
Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. 
Ever year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity." 

What Muslims say among each other, is not the same thing that 
they say for the consumption of the Westerners. 

These are huge numbers. If this trend continues we can expect to 
see Islam become insignificant in Africa in just a few decades. 
This is good news for those who are concerned about the on going 
slavery in Africa and the prospects of war and genocide. 

In fact with the weakening of Islam, we can hope to see peace in 
many war-ridden parts of the world including Palestine. By now 
it should be clear that any road map to peace  between Israel 
and Palestine will be blocked by the Islamists and the 
terrorists. Peace in Middle East is not possible as long as 
Islam is the ideology of the masses.     

It is important that we realize that this terrorism that is 
threatening the peace of the world and these wars that bleed the 
Muslim nations are not economically motivated but are they are 
hate motivated. They are religious wars. The weakening of Islam 
means peace for mankind.  

Al Qataani and al Jazeera Network were alarmed by these huge 
numbers of Muslims leaving Islam, but humanity must rejoice over 
these numbers. The weakening of Islam means the triumph of 
mankind.  

Are you a man disguised as a shemale?

hi, what's your number?

About 100,000 Iraqi civilians -- half of them women and 
children -- have died in Iraq since the invasion, mostly as a 
result of airstrikes by coalition forces, according to the first 
reliable study of the death toll by Iraqi and U.S. public health 
experts.

Army Misses Recruiting Goal for 3rd Month
By: NA on: 03.05.2005 [16:05 ] 
WASHINGTON - The Army missed its recruiting goal in April, 
marking the third consecutive monthly shortfall. 

Army spokesman Paul Boyce said officials believe that increases 
in the number of recruiters, as well as new advertising and 
publicity efforts, will produce a surge in recruiting this 
summer so that the Army can meet its full-year goal of 80,000 
recruits by Sept. 30. 

As of April 30 the Army had achieved only 85 percent of its 
target for the first five months of the fiscal year, which began 
Oct. 1. 

Boyce said big gains are expected this summer, and the Army is 
cautiously optimistic it will overcome the current recruiting 
deficit during a summer period that traditionally is a good 
period of recruiters. 

Opinion surveys have indicated that a growing number of young 
people and their parents are wary of the Army's recruiting pitch 
at a time when soldiers in Iraq are killed and wounded virtually 
every day. 

Spring is typically one of the more difficult periods of the 
year for military recruiters. 

Boyce said he did not have specific figures for April but it 
fell short of the monthly goal of 6,600. In March the Army had 
hoped to sign up 6,800 recruits but fell 32 percent short. That 
was slightly worse than in February, when a goal of 7,050 was 
missed by 27 percent. 

Prior to missing the February target the Army had not fallen 
short of a monthly goal since May 2000. 

The Army National Guard and Army Reserve have had even more 
trouble recruiting. In March the Army Reserve signed up barely 
half the 1,600 soldiers it sought. It has not met a monthly goal 
since December 2004, and for the period from October 2004 
through March it met only 82 percent of its goal.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Two American soldiers died in roadside bomb 
attacks by insurgents in Baghdad, the U.S. military said 
Wednesday. 

The two separate attacks on U.S. convoys in the capital occurred 
Tuesday, and further information was being withheld pending 
notification of the victims' relatives. 

As of Tuesday, at least 1,585 members of the U.S. military have 
died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, 
according to an Associated Press count. 

At least 1,211 died as a result of hostile action, according to 
the Defense Department. The figures include four military 
civilians.

Alleged Hijackers Alive and Well (updated from 2001 archives) 
Have you forgotten how the world crisis of a possible nuclear 
world war we are facing today, all began? 
The truth about the alleged 9/11 hijackers - What Bush will 
never reveal and needs you to forget... 
EIGHT of the alleged September 11th Hijackers are Alive

The FBI STILL lists these men as the terrorists who crashed 
planes into the World Trade Center in New York, 
the Pentagon, and Stony Creek Township, Pennsylvania, on 
September 11th. But eight of them are ALIVE. 
The FBI press release of September 27th, 2001 contained names, 
photographs, aliases and other information. 
Places of birth, date of birth and other personal details were 
presented in news media throughout the world.

Eight men accused were NOT on those planes. The so called 
evidence IS A LIE 
So, WHY was Bush allowed to proceed with war against 
Afghanistan!!!!!!!!!
Saeed Al-Ghamdi, Mohand Al-Shehri, Abdul Aziz Al-Omari and Salem 
Al-Hazmi 
"are not dead and had nothing to do with the heinous terror 
attacks in New York and Washington." 
The Saudi Arabian embassy told The Orlando Sentinel. 
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal told the 
Arabic Press after meeting with President George W. Bush 
on Sept. 20th "It was proved that five of the names included in 
the FBI list had nothing to do with what happened."

As none of the 19 hijackers named appear on ANY of the four 
passenger/crew flight lists, how do the FBI 
know who they are? They are all DEAD! The so called flying 
capabilities of the 'hijackers' is also a HUGE lie.
Information below has not only been carried by the Saudi Gazette 
(September 18) and 
the Khaleej Times (September 20) but also by Robert Fisk in the 
Independent UK (September 17). 
Robert Mueller, director of the FBI, has twice been forced to 
admit on CNN that there is 
"no legal proof to prove the identities of the suicidal 
hijackers" (CNN, September 20 and 27).

Read on to discover what the FBI told the public and what came 
to light...

newspapers report he is still alive. 

2) Majed Moqed - Possible Saudi national 

3) Nawaf Al-Hazmi - Possible Saudi national and resident of Fort 
Lee, New Jersey; Wayne, 
New Jersey; San Diego, California. Believed to be a pilot. 

Washington Post: Alleged hijackers on Flight 77 - Nawaf Al-
Hazmi , Khalid Al-Midhar (Alive) 
and Hani Hanjour, all spent time in San Diego. Two of the men, 
Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar, also briefly attended 
a local fight school, but they were dropped because of their 
limited English and incompetence at the controls.... 
Last spring, two of the men visited Montgomery Field, a 
community airport ... and sought flying lessons. They 
spoke to instructors at Sorbi's Flying Club, which allowed them 
to take only two lessons before advising them to 
quit. "Their English was horrible, and their mechanical skills 
were even worse," said an instructor, who asked not 
to be named. "It was like they had hardly even ever driven a 
car ..... They seemed like nice guys," the instructor said, 
"but in the plane, they were dumb and dumber."

4) Salem Al-Hazmi - ALIVE - Works at petrochemical plant in 
Yanbou, Saudi Arabia. 
FBI Info: Resident of Fort Lee, New Jersey; Wayne, New 
Jersey. '..was one of the group that worked 
out at the (Golds) gym in (Greenbelt) Maryland the week before 
the attacks. ' WRONG! CBS, 9/27/01 

"Mr Al-Hazmi is 26 and had just returned to work at a 
petrochemical complex in the industrial eastern city of Yanbo 
after a holiday in Saudi Arabia when the hijackers struck. He 
was accused of hijacking the American Airlines Flight 77 
that hit the Pentagon."  Telegraph UK - 9/23/01 

5) Hani Hanjour - Possible resident of Phoenix, Arizona, and San 
Diego, California. Believed to be a pilot. 

Hanjour had used Bowie's Maryland Freeway Airport three times 
since mid-August as he attempted to get permission 
to use one of the airport's planes. The Prince George's Maryland 
Journal September 18, 2001 states: "Marcel Bernard, 
the chief flight instructor at the airport, said the man named 
Hani Hanjour went into the air in a Cessna 172 with 
instructors from the airport three times beginning the second 
week of August and had hoped to rent a plane from the 
airport." According to published reports, law enforcement 
sources say Hanjour, in his mid-twenties, is suspected of 
crashing the American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon. 

Hanjour had his pilot's license, said Bernard, but needed what 
is called a 'check-out' done by the airport to gauge a pilot's 
skills before he or she is able to rent a plane at Freeway 
Airport which runs parallel to Route 50. Instructors at the 
school 
told Bernard that after 3 times in the air, they still felt he 
was unable to fly solo and that Hanjour seemed disappointed. 

Published reports said Hanjour obtained his pilot's license in 
April of 1999, but it expired six months later because 
he did not complete a required medical exam. He also was trained 
for a few months at a private school in Scottsdale, 
Ariz., in 1996, but did not finish the course because 
instructors felt he was not capable. 

Hanjour had 600 hours listed in his log book, Bernard said, and 
instructors were surprised he was not able to fly better 
with the amount of experience...Pete Goulatta, a special agent 
and spokesmanfor the FBI, said it is an on-going criminal 
investigation and he could not comment."  Psyops News
 

AMERICAN AIRLINES #11 - BOEING 767 - WTC North Tower 
3 out of  5 FBI named hijackers are ALIVE
1) Satam M.A. Al-Suqami - Possible United Arab Emirates national 
Dates of birth used: June 28, 1976; Last known address: United 
Arab Emirates 
 
2) Waleed M. Al-Shehri - ALIVE - A pilot with Saudi Airlines, 
studying in Morrocco. 
FBI Info:  'The week after the hijackings, the FBI raided a 
hotel in Newton, Ma., a Boston suburb, on suspicion 
that both Waleed Al-Shehri and Wail Al-Shehri (also Alive) 
stayed there on Sept. 10.' WRONG!  CBS, 9/27/01 

So...how true can this report be? Update 2004: Long proven true. 
Research Lt Gen. Mahmood Ahmed, ISI. 
'The UAE information minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zaid al-
Nahayan, said a man with a Saudi Arabian passport 
left the UAE on the day of the attack(s) for Karachi in 
Pakistan, after receiving transfers of "surplus" funds of 
$15,000 
from three hijackers, Mohamed Atta, Walid al-Shehri (Alive) and 
Marwan al-Shehhi (Alive). The money 
was transferred from the US to the UAE two days before the 
attack.' Guardian UK 10/01/01 

a) A sixth person on the FBI's list, Saudi national Waleed Al 
Shehri, is living in Casablanca, according to an official 
with Royal Air Moroc, the Moroccan commercial airline. According 
to the unnamed official, Al-Shehri lived in 
Dayton Beach, Fla., where he took flight training at Embry-
Riddle Aeronautical University. Now he works for a 
Moroccan airline. On Sept. 22, Associated Press reported that Al-
Shehri had spoken to the U.S. embassy in Morocco. 
His photograph was released by the FBI, and has been shown in 
newspapers and on television around the world. 
That same Mr. Al-Shehri has turned up in Morocco, proving 
clearly that he was not a member of the suicide attack. 
Daily Trust, 24th September 2001 

b) He was reported to have been in Hollywood, Florida, for a 
month earlier this year but his father, Ahmed, 
said that Waleed was alive and well and living in Morocco." 
Telegraph UK. He acknowledges that he attended 
flight training school at Dayton Beach in the United States, and 
is indeed the same Waleed Al -Shehri to whom 
the FBI has been referring.  But, he says, he left the United 
States in September last year, became a pilot with 
Saudi Arabian airlines and is currently on a further training 
course in Morocco. 
BBC - 9/23/01   *   allafrica.com - 9/24/01 

 
3) Wail M. Al-Shehri - ALIVE 
A man by the same name is a pilot, whose father is a Saudi 
diplomat in Bombay. "I personally talked to both 
father and son today," said Gaafar Allagany, head of the Saudi 
Embassy's information center.   LA Times 9/21/01 

4) Mohamed Atta - Possible Egyptian national 
Date of birth used: September 1, 1968 - Believed to be a pilot. 
Possible residence(s): Hollywood, Florida; Coral Springs, 
Florida; Hamburg, Germany 

According to The Washington Post (September 19, 2001, "Hijack 
Suspects Tried Many Flight Schools," Mohammed 
Atta, alleged hijacker of Flight 11, and Marwan Al-Shehhi 
(Alive), alleged hijacker of Flight 175, both of which crashed 
into the World Trade Center, attended hundreds of hours of 
lessons at Huffman Aviation, a flight school in Venice, Florida. 
They also took lessons at Jones Aviation Flying Service Inc., 
which operates from the Sarasota Bradenton International 
Airport. According to the Post, neither experience "worked out." 

A flight instructor at Jones who asked not be identified, said 
Atta and Al-Shehri arrived in September or October and 
asked to be given flight training. Atta, the instructor said, 
was particularly difficult. "He would not look at your face," 
the instructor said. "When you talked to him, he could not look 
you in the eye. His attention span was very short." 
The instructor said neither man was able to pass a Stage I 
rating test to track and intercept. After offering some 
harsh words, the instructor said, the two moved on..."We didn't 
kick them out, but they didn't live up to our standards." 
Psyops News 

5) Abdulaziz Al-Omari - ALIVE - Two men, same name, BOTH in 
Saudi Arabia. 
FBI Info: "Video surveillance photos of the airport in Portland, 
Me., show Atta and Abdulaziz Al-Omari 
rushing to make a flight from Maine to Boston early on the 
morning of the hijackings." WRONG!!!  CBS, 9/27/01 

"Some investigators note that in surveillance photographs taken 
at a Portland ATM the previous night (Sept.10th), 
Al-Omari appears to be grinning, an expression more befitting a 
petty thief about to go on a stealing spree." 
WRONG AGAIN!  St.Petersburgh Times, 11/04/01 

SO WHO IS THE MAN WITH ATTA IN SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS AT THE 
AIRPORT AND THE ATM? 

One of the Al-Omaris is a pilot with Saudi Airlines. The other, 
an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, 
who had his passport stolen in Denver, Colorado, USA.   BBC - 
September 23rd 

 
Abdulaziz Al-Omari Number 1 
Al-Omari lives with his wife and four children in Saudi Arabia. 
Mr. Al-Omari, a pilot with Saudi Airlines, 
walked into the US embassy in Jeddah to demand why he was being 
reported as a dead hijacker in the 
American media. BBC 23rd September 2001 

a) "A pilot with Saudi Airlines, was astonished to find himself 
accused of hijacking as well as being dead 
and has visited the US consulate in Jeddah to demand an 
explanation." Independent 17th September 2001 
b) "Al-Omari may have lived in Hollywood, Fla. and is reported 
to have lived with his wife and four school-age children 
in a rented house in Vero Beach, Fla., moving out on Sept. 3, 
telling his landlord he was returning home." WRONG! 
CBS, 9/27/01 

Omari Number 2 
a) "A Saudi man has reported to authorities that he is the real 
Abdulaziz Al-Omari, and claims his passport was stolen in 
1995 while he studied electrical engineering at the University 
of Denver. Alomari says he informed police of the theft." 
ABCNews 
b) "I couldn't believe it when the FBI put me on their list. 
They gave my name and my date of birth, but I am not 
a suicide bomber. I am here. I am alive. I have no idea how to 
fly a plane. I had nothing to do with this." 
Telegraph UK - 9/23/01 

c) "The name (listed by the FBI) is my name and the birth date 
is the same as mine, but I am not the one who bombed 
the World Trade Center in New York," Abdulaziz Al-Omari told the 
London-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper. 
d) "Al-Omari has since been found in Saudi Arabia and is 
apparently cleared in the case" New York Times 
e) "Saudi Embassy officials in Washington have challenged his 
identity. They say a Saudi electrical engineer named 
Abdulaziz Al-Omari had his passport and other papers stolen in 
1996 in Denver when he was a student and 
reported the theft to police there at the time." BBC

1 out of  5 FBI named hijackers is Alive
 
1) Marwan Al-Shehhi - ALIVE in Morrocco 
FBI Info: "...he (Atta) and Al-Shehhi were spotted partying the 
Friday before Sept. 11, 
playing video games and drinking." VERY WRONG!
'Born in the United Arab Emirates, the son of a Muslim cleric 
who died two years ago, Al-Shehhi was described as 
extremely religious and withdrawn. While in Germany, he told his 
mother he would not return to the Emirates. 
She has said she thought someone was listening to their calls 
and threatening him to keep him from coming home.' 
CBS, 9/27/01 
2) Fayez Rashid Ahmed Hassan Al Qadi Banihammad 
Possible residence(s): Delray Beach, Florida. Believed to be a 
pilot. 
'The Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa, Okla., is listed as 
the address on his pilot's license 
but the school says there is no record that he ever took a class 
there.'  CBS, 9/27/01 

3) Ahmed Al-Ghamdi - May have lived in Delray Beach, Florida 

4) Hamza Al-Ghamdi - Possible residence(s): Delray Beach, 
Florida

Passengers Tom Burnett and Jeremy Glick report by alleged cell 
phone calls, that there are THREE 
hijackers on board. One of the hijackers reportedly has a bomb 
strapped around his waist. Wikipedia 
 
1) Said Al-Ghamdi - ALIVE - Student 'Airbus 320' pilot in 
Tunisia. 
Said Al-Ghamdi is one of three hijackers that U.S. officials 
have said are linked 
to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network. WRONG! 

a) "I was completely shocked. For the past 10 months I have been 
based in Tunis with 22 other pilots learning to fly an 
Airbus 320. The FBI provided no evidence of my presumed 
involvement in the attacks."  Telegraph UK - 9/23/01 
b) "Asharq Al Awsat newspaper, a London-based Arabic daily, says 
it has interviewed Said Al-Ghamdi."  BBC 9/23/01

3) Ahmed Al-Nami - ALIVE - An administrative supervisor with 
Saudi Arabian Airlines, in Riyadh. 
"I'm still alive, as you can see. I was shocked to see my name 
mentioned by the American Justice Department. I had never 
even heard of Pennsylvania where the plane I was supposed to 
have hijacked." He had never lost his passport and found it 
"very worrying" that his identity appeared to have been "stolen" 
and published by the FBI without any checks. The FBI 
had said his "possible residence" was Delray Beach in Florida. " 
Telegraph UK, 23rd  September 2001

4) Ziad Samir Jarrah. Believed to be a pilot. 
A Lebanese whose family, living in the Bekaa Valley, spoke to 
him just two days before his alleged death 
but who still refuse to believe that he was involved.   
Independant UK, September 17th 

Flight Attendant On Flight 11 (North Tower) Busts FBI Lies:
The BBC has reported that the transcript of a phone call made by 
Flight Attendant Madeline Amy Sweeney to 
Boston air traffic controls shows that the flight attendant gave 
the seat numbers occupied by the hijackers, seat 
numbers which were NOT the seats of the men the FBI claimed were 
responsible for the hijacking. 
New Zealand Press Report 
Sweeney (on the plane) also said there were four hijackers and 
the FBI (not on the plane) said there were five. 

In none of the several phone-calls made from the hijacked planes 
to passengers' relatives 
on the ground were any "Arab hijackers" mentioned.  Middle East 
Wire 

Note that the calls intercepted by 'various authorities ' were 
the calls that supposedly reported the hijackers as being Arab. 

Crew and Passenger Flight Lists: 

Not one of the hijackers is listed on ANY of the four lists. 
None of the crew or passengers have middle eastern names. 
CNN Passenger Lists 

And yet...'..officials said theyreached that conclusion after 
assembling information from the flights' passenger lists; 
pay telephone records; phoned reports from passengers aboard the 
hijacked flights and evidence taken from the 
rental car found at Logan Airport.' NY Times, 9/13/01 

So how did 'officials' come up with four hijackers on Flight 93, 
when passengers said there were three? 
Where are the passenger lists that have the hijackers names on 
them?!!! 

As for the rental car containing...'an Arabic- language flight 
manual' and 'names of other suspects' 
Yeah right - the 'hijackers' left behind names of their comrades 
to incriminate them! 
To date, 12/21/01 - 50% of news reports say the hijackers DID 
NOT KNOW each other, 
and 50% of news reports say THEY DID. Which is it? 

Yeah right - The hijackers conveniently left behind an Arabic 
flight manuel, to prove their identity and intentions, 
along with - as other news reports state - pilot uniforms, a 
copy of the Koran and a videotape 'How to fly a commercial jet'. 

And lets not forget the three copies of the four paged suicide 
instruction letter, written by a woman on behalf of 
Mohammad Atta - conveniently found in a one way only suicide 
bombers suitcase (also conveniently left behind) - 
whilst another copy was discovered virtually intact at the site 
of the incinerated Pennsylvania plane, crash site. 

For chrisakes, lets get a grip on reality here! How ******* 
STUPID does Mr. Bush believe we all are? 
ANYONE who believes this outrageous bullshit, needs to see a 
shrink immediatly! 

Others Accused Of Being Involved:

Ameer Bukhari - Died a year ago when the small plane he was 
flying crashed in Florida. 
"Ameer Bukhari died in a small plane crash last year. "  CNN 
Correction 
Adnan Bukhari - Saudi citizen (Ameer's brother), alive and well 
in Vero Beach, Florida. 
a) "Bukhari's lawyer contacted the FBI to say that his client 
was not involved in the attacks 
and was willing to be interviewed."   Middle East Wire 
b) "Adnan Bukhari is still in Florida" CNN was forced to print a 
retraction. 

Amer Kamfar - Saudi flight engineer, alive and well in Makkah. 
"...a suspect sought by the FBI, Amer Kamfar, was in fact an 
alive pilot in Arabia. "

U.S. Military Loses Contact With Two Jets 

Tuesday May 3, 2005 2:01 AM


AP Photo BAG118 

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Two U.S. Marine jets from the USS Carl 
Vinson aircraft carrier were reported missing while flying in 
support of operations in Iraq, the U.S. military said Tuesday. 

The status of the two U.S. Marine F/A-18 Hornet aircraft and 
their crew was not immediately known, the military said in a 
statement. 

Contact was lost with the aircraft at 10:10 p.m. Monday (2:10 
p.m. EDT), the statement said. There were no initial indications 
of hostile fire in the area at the time. 

Search efforts were underway, the military said. No further 
information was released. 

Navy officials at the Pentagon did not release any information 
beyond the military statement.

and without discussion use its immense nuclear weapons 
capabilities to destroy the 100 largest Islamic cities on earth, 
regardless of state, and destroy all of the military facilities 
of Islamic-dominated states. This will include all of the 
capitals and at least the 10 largest cities of all Islamic-

addition, North Korean cities and military installations will be 
destroyed.

Ten U.S. troops are dead as a result of bombing attacks from 
Thursday night through to Saturday.

At least 50 Iraqis, mostly police and Iraqi soldiers have also 
died as a wave of bombings have swept the war-torn country.

Four U.S. marines were killed and two others were injured when 
a truck carrying explosives was blown up on Thursday in 
Tallafar, 242 miles (390 kilometers) north of Baghdad.

Two more marines were reportedly killed by a grenade Friday 
near al-Deira, in Baghdad.

A U.S. soldier died when an improvised explosive device was 
detonated on Thursday night.

Two U.S. soldiers assigned to the 155th Brigade Combat Team, II 
Marine Expeditionary Force were killed Friday when a car bomb 
struck near Diyara. The Marines were based in Anbar province, 
west of Baghdad.

Also Friday, a separate car-bomb attack killed a U.S. Army 
soldier from the 1st Corps Support Command. Two other soldiers 
were wounded in the attack, which occurred north of Taji. 

The three soldiers were evacuated to the theater hospital at 
Logistics Support Area Anaconda, where one died. The other two 
soldiers were being treated at the hospital. 

Iraqi security sources said two people were killed Saturday 
when a mortar grenade fell into a residential area in Mosul, 
280 miles (450 kilometers) north of Baghdad. Five other people 
were injured in Mosul in a separate incident involving a booby-
trapped car.

Earlier, the Qatar-based al-Jazeera media group said two 
civilians were killed and 10 others wounded by a bomb explosion 
targeting a joint Iraqi-U.S. military patrol in the Zayuna 
district of eastern Baghdad. One of the victims was a child. 

Another car exploded near a U.S. military convoy in the 
capital, but no casualties were immediately reported.

Officials confirmed the 12 car bombs that exploded Friday in 
the capital killed at least 50 people and injured more than 100 
others.

9 Are Killed in Iraq as Violent Surge Continues 
    The Associated Press 

    Saturday 01 May 2005 

    Baghdad - Insurgents began a third straight day of attacks 
in Iraq on Sunday, including ambushes, car bombs and a drive-by 
shooting, killing nine Iraqis and wounding 21, police said. 

    That raised the death toll from the latest wave of 
insurgent attacks that began on Friday to at least 74. The 
violence was timed to deflate hopes in Washington and Baghdad 
that the installation of the Iraq's first democratically 
elected government would curb the uprising. 

    One US soldier also died in Saturday's attacks. 

    The strikes have been increasingly well coordinated, and 
that was the case in an ambush Sunday on a small road near 
Diala Bridge in eastern Baghdad, said police Lt. Col. Sabah 
Hamid al-Firtosi. 

    At 6:15 a.m., a pickup truck stopped near a checkpoint and 
insurgents jumped out and began firing machine guns and rocket-
propelled grenades. Other insurgents appeared from behind 
nearby trees and joined the fight. Five policemen were killed 
and one was wounded, al-Firtosi said. 

    Later in the morning, a car bomb exploded in the 
Zafaraniyah neighborhood of Baghdad, killing four Iraqi 
civilians and wounding 12, police said. 

    Elsewhere in Baghdad, insurgents in three parked cars 
opened fire with hand guns on a police patrol in the western 
Jihad neighborhood, wounding four policemen, said police Capt. 
Talib Thamir. 

    Two attacks occurred Sunday in and around Hillah city, 60 
miles south of Baghdad, police said. 

    A roadside bomb exploded on a main road north of Hillah, 
wounding four civilians, said police Capt. Muthana Khalid. 

    Also in Hillah on Sunday, a police patrol was the target of 
a drive-by shooting attack but avoided any casualties. The 
police arrested the four gunmen involved, Khalid said. 

    On Saturday, the US Army released a report clearing 
American soldiers in the death of an Italian intelligence agent 
in Iraq and recommending no disciplinary action. The agent was 
escorting a released Italian hostage when American soldiers 
fired on their car. 

    The investigation into the checkpoint killing of Nicola 
Calipari said the incident might have been prevented by better 
coordination between the Italian government and US forces in 
Iraq. The US investigation concluded the vehicle had failed to 
slow down as it approached the checkpoint and the soldiers who 
fired at it had acted according to the rules of engagement. 

    The Italian Foreign Ministry had no comment on the American 
report Saturday. But the day before, Foreign Minister 
Gianfranco Fini said Italy did not agree with the US version of 
events. Italy was expected to release its own report on the 
shooting within days. 

    At least five car bombs rocked Baghdad on Saturday, US 
military spokesman Greg Kaufman said. Six more exploded in the 
northern city of Mosul, which also has seen frequent attacks. 

    US and Iraqi officials had hoped to curb support for the 
militants by including members of the Sunni Arab minority in a 
new Shiite-dominated Cabinet that will be sworn in Tuesday. 

    Sunnis, who held monopoly power during the rule of Saddam 
Hussein, are believed to be the backbone of Iraq's insurgency. 
Most stayed away from landmark Jan. 30 parliamentary elections -
 either in protest or out of fear of attack. 

    However, the lineup named by incoming Prime Minister 
Ibrahim al-Jaafari after months of political wrangling excluded 
Sunnis from meaningful positions and left the key defense and 
oil ministries - among other unfilled posts - in temporary 
hands. 

    And then approval of the Cabinet was met with an onslaught 
of bombings - including a number of highly coordinated suicide 
attacks - in the capital and elsewhere. The attacks Saturday 
targeted Iraqi and US forces and those seen as collaborators, 
but also killed and wounded a large number of bystanders. 

    In one strike west of Baghdad, the US military said three 
civilians were killed and at least one wounded when rockets and 
mortars slammed into Fallujah. A young girl was among those 
killed, and Associated Press Television News footage showed a 
weeping man kissing the child's corpse at Fallujah General 
Hospital.

four(4)morebitethedustWhenwillUlearn? 4 US Troops Killed in Iraq
By: antiwar.com on: 29.04.2005


In the last two days, at least 4 US troops have been killed in 
combat in Iraq. On Thursday, one US soldier was killed by an 
improvised explosive device detonated near Hawij. Today, one 
soldier and two Marines were kiiled while "two others were 
wounded as the result of a vehicular born improvised explosive 
device." 

Six U.S. soldiers killed by bombs in Iraq
BAGHDAD, April 30 (Reuters) - Six U.S. soldiers have been killed 
in bomb attacks in Iraq in the past two days, the U.S. military 
said on Saturday. 

Four soldiers were killed and two wounded by an improvised 
explosive device on Thursday in Tal Afar, about 390 km (240 
miles) north of Baghdad, the military said in a statement. 

A vehicle-borne bomb killed two U.S. soldiers on Friday near 
Diyara, west of Baghdad, it said. The soldiers belonged to the 
155th Brigade Combat Team, II Marine Expeditionary Force. 

Tal Afar, west of Iraq's third-largest city Mosul, not far from 
the border with Syria, has been the site of persistent insurgent 
violence over the past five months. 

The U.S. military believes insurgents have entered Iraq from 
Syria and built a stronghold in the town. There is also heavy 
militant activity in Mosul. 

The deaths raise the number of U.S. troops killed in combat in 
Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003 to 1,204. 

Forty-four U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq in April, a 
sharp decline since January, when the death toll was 107.

on Friday in a bomb attack near the village of Taji in Tikrit. 

The statement added that two other wounded soldiers were taken

Rumsfeld to Free Saddam If He Stops Insurgence
By: Xymphora on: 01.05.2005 [07:10 ] (1132 reads)
  
 
(2872 bytes)    

This is (both here) just crazy enough to be true: 

"There are claims that US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld 
during his last visit to Iraq met with ousted Iraqi leader 
Saddam Hussein. 

According to a news article based on Iraqi Baath sources in 
Jordan published in the London based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper, 
Rumsfeld met with Saddam in his cell in Bagdat (Baghdad) and the 
US Secretary of Defense asked Saddam to end the insurgence. The 
paper claims that Rumsfeld asked him on a television broadcast 
to make a call for insurgents to end the resistence against US 
and multi-national forces as well as the Iraqi security forces." 


If true, this betrays a certain desperation. Contrary to 
Pentagon and Bush Administration assurances, things are starting 
to spiral out of control in Iraq. The insurgency is setting off 
big bombs in strategic locations on a daily basis, and its 
abilities at creating mayhem are increasing week by week. The 
Pentagon either can't, or won't, do anything to stop it. If 
things keep progressing at this rate, not even the disgusting 
American press will be able to continue to hide the extent of 
Iraqi lawlessness. At some point, people are going to question 
whether the great American army is as powerful as it claims to 
be. 



A Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam is not at all implausible. After 
all, they are old friends.

Rumsfeld offered to free Saddam Hussein: Report

Press Trust of India 

Jerusalem, May 1, 2005 


US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld paid a secret visit to 
former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and offered him freedom 
and possible return to public life if he made a televised 
request to armed groups for a ceasefire with allied forces, a 
media report said. 

Saddam promptly rejected the offer, Ynetnews reported quoting a 
London based Al-Quds Al-Arabi daily. 

The visit came during Rumsfeld's visit to Iraq about two weeks 
ago and was known only to a few Iraqi officials in Jordan, the 
Arab daily reported quoting sources. 

Some two weeks ago the British Telegraph had reported that Iraqi 
gunmen were offered a "deal" to halt all terror attacks in 
return for a reduced sentence for Saddam, likely to be sentenced 
to death. 

However, an Iraqi government official is said to believe that 
Saddam's Baath party will request to return to politics, the 
report said.

Many US soldiers killed in Iraq 


Sunday 01 May 2005, 2:14 Makka Time, 23:14 GMT 


Daily attacks on US soldiers continue unabated 

Seven US soldiers have been killed and six wounded in Iraq in 
the past 48 hours, the US military said. 


The military said a bomb attack on a convoy killed four US 
soldiers in Tal Afar city, 150km east of the Syrian border, on 
Thursday. Two soldiers wounded in the attack were treated at a 
combat hospital. 

Two US soldiers were killed on Friday when a patrol struck a 
homemade bomb in the western part of the capital, the military 
said in a statement. Nine suspects in a nearby house were 
detained. 

In western Iraq, a soldier was killed on Saturday by gunfire in 
Khaldiyah, 120km west of Baghdad. The soldier was assigned to 
the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine 
Expeditionary Force. 

The names of the deceased soldiers are being withheld pending 
notification of next of kin. 

Elsewhere, four US soldiers in a convoy were wounded when their 
Humvee rolled into a ditch late on Friday night near Abu Ghraib 
prison, west of Baghdad. 

Iraqi civilians killed 

At least 1586 members of the US military have died since the 
beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to the 
independent Iraq Coalition Casualty Count website, citing 
official Pentagon figures. 

At least 1199 died as a result of hostile action, according to 
the US Defense Department. 


Falluja has been a hotbed of anti- 
US activity since the invasion 

Meanwhile, three Iraqi civilians were killed on Saturday in a 
rocket attack in Falluja, the US military said in a statement. 

"Three Iraqi civilians were killed and one wounded after 
insurgents fired at least seven rockets into the city of Falluja 
from outside the city," the statement said. 

In the afternoon, anti-US fighters fired at least two mortar 
rounds at a southern Falluja district, the US military said. No 
casualties were reported in that attack. 

According to the independent website Iraq Body Count, between 
21,000 and 24,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed as a result 
of fighting since the start of the war.

Italy media reveals Iraq details 
By David Willey 
BBC News in Rome 

Italian media have published classified sections of an official 
US military inquiry into the accidental killing of an Italian 
agent in Baghdad. 

The 40-page report was censored by the Pentagon before being 
officially published on Saturday. 

Italy has refused to accept the US report's findings and is to 
publish its own version of events later this week. 

Details of the official report were published in newspapers on 
Sunday with censored material restored in full. 


Missing text 

A Greek medical student at Bologna University who was surfing 
the web early on Sunday found that with two simple clicks of his 
computer mouse he could restore censored portions of the report. 

DIFFERING ACCOUNTS

At the same time, shots are fired into car for 10-15 seconds 


Accounts in full 
Profile: Nicola Calipari 
Italy's papers reject US findings 

He passed the details to Italian newspapers which immediately 
put out the full text on their own websites. 

The missing text contains the names and ranks of all of the 
American military personnel involved in the killing of Nicola 
Calipari, the Italian agent who was given a state funeral and 
awarded Italy's highest medal of valour. 

It also reveals the rules of engagement in operation at the 
military checkpoint near Baghdad airport which have been 
contested by the Italian authorities. 

The censored sections include recommendations that the American 
military modify their checkpoint procedures to give better and 
clearer warning signs to approaching vehicles. 

The official Italian report on the incident expected to be 
published this week will accuse the American military of 
tampering with evidence at the scene of the shooting. 

The Americans invited two Italians to join in their inquiry, but 
the Italian representatives protested at what they claimed was 
lack of objectivity in presenting the evidence and returned to 
Rome. 

Relations between Rome and Washington remain tense. 

Obviously, there's something wrong with you.

Casualty-hit US marines use dummies to fool rebels
By: London Telegraph on: 28.04.2005 [04:36 ] (1073 reads)
  
 
(2730 bytes)    

US marines who suffered the highest casualty rate of any unit in 
Iraq have revealed that they were so short of soldiers that they 
used cardboard dummies to fool insurgents into believing that 
they faced more men. 

Company E of the First Marine Division dressed the cutouts in 
camouflage shirts and placed them in observation posts to trick 
Iraqi rebels into thinking that they were manned. 

More than one third of the unit's 185 troops were killed or 
wounded during its six-month tour last year in Ramadi, an 
insurgent stronghold west of Fallujah, during which it was 
targeted by 26 firefights, 90 mortar attacks and nearly 100 home-
made bombs. 

The deception was revealed yesterday when the marines broke the 
corp's code of silence to detail the shortages of equipment and 
manpower that they blame for many of their comrades' deaths. 

The marines highlighted in particular the lack of armoured 
Humvees, the four-wheeled-drive vehicles favoured by the US 
military, which the company says meant they had little 
protection against roadside bombs. 

When the unit arrived, none was fully armoured and the unit's 
commanders had to find scrap metal to line the sides and bottom 
of their vehicles. 

It was also issued with maps that were several years out of date 
and showed urbanised areas still to be farmland. 

The unit, nicknamed the Magnificent Bastards, said it had only a 
handful of electronic devices that block the detonation of 
roadside bombs, responsible for the deaths of 13 of 21 members 
of the company that were killed. 

Instead they had to be spotted by eyesight. "Halfway through the 
deployment marines began getting good at spotting little 
things," Sgt Charles Sheldon told the New York Times. 

"We had marines riding down the road at 60 miles an hour and 
they would spot a copper filament sticking out of a block of 
cement." 

A force twice the size is now stationed in the city, which has 
been relatively peaceful since insurgents were ejected from 
neighbouring Fallujah in fierce fighting last November. 

The lack of adequately armoured equipment has been a continuing 
complaint of US troops stationed in Iraq. The unusual decision 
by the unit to go public is only likely to add to government 
embarrassment at the shortage. 

The Senate last week announced an extra  140 million of spending 
to buy more fully armoured Humvees. But critics say the 
procurement system is itself flawed as it primarily relies on 
one small Humvee provider in Ohio. 

The Pentagon acknowledged that Company E lacked enough equipment 
and men but said the problems were experienced by many units 
when the insurgency suddenly intensified last year.

soldier killed in Iraq was father of three 

Web Posted: 04/27/2005 03:57 PM CDT 
Jeorge Zarazua 

A Victoria soldier was killed this weekend when a bomb exploded 
near his Humvee in Baghdad, Iraq, the Department of Defense 
announced Wednesday. 
Army Spc. Gary W. Walters Jr., 31, was traveling in a caravan 
through Baghdad on Sunday when an improvised explosive detonated 
near his vehicle. Two other soldiers and two civilians were hurt 
in the attack, the Associated Press reported. 
Walters  family was notified of his death Sunday afternoon. He 
was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 9th Field Artillery Regiment, 
3rd Infantry Division, based at Fort Stewart, Ga. 
He had been in Iraq since January. 
Walters  mother, Margaret Stanley of Victoria, said she feared 
the worst when her son received his orders to be deployed to 
Iraq, adding she spent as much time with him as she could, even 
taking time off from work to do so. 
 I didn t think then he was going to come back,  she said,  but 
I didn t think it was going to be this soon.  
Stanley said her son joined the Army two years ago after working 
in various jobs in Victoria, including selling cars and 
installing satellites. He graduated from Stroman High School in 
1991. 

 He wanted to settle down and he wanted to take care of his 
family,  she said. 
Three months before being deployed, Walters married the mother 
of his 5-year-old child, Trent. 
Stanley said his wife, Johnna, also is 3 months pregnant and 
that her son has two other children from separate relationships. 
She said Walters wanted to spend time with all of his children 
and even reconciled with his father-in-law before he went to 
Iraq. 
 He was making peace with everybody before he left,  she 
said.  He would try to tell me he wasn t scared about going, but 
I told him it was OK. I told him it was OK to be nervous. He was 
going to Iraq. Who wouldn t be scared?  
Walters  infantry division took over responsibility from Fort 
Hood s 1st Cavalry Division in February for operations in and 
around Baghdad. 
Stanley said her son would tell her he was involved in several 
combat missions, but always would tell her he was safe. 
 He was trying to make us feel better,  she said. 
Funeral arrangements for Walters are pending. 
Stanley said her son last called her on Saturday, the day before 
he died. But she said she wasn t able to answer the phone on 
time. Instead, Walters left his mother a message thanking her 
for the birthday card she mailed him. 
He would have celebrated his 32nd birthday on May 14.

or have any effect by posting long-winded, stupid shit on some 
obscure message board? I really couldn't give a fuck if you hate 
America or not. I'd just as soon pass you by as piss on your

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) An American soldier was killed Saturday when 
his convoy was hit by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad, the 
U.S. military said. 

The attack took place near Haswa, 30 miles south of Baghdad, 
the military said in a statement. The name of the soldier was 
not released. 

At least 1,565 members of the U.S. military have died since the 
beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an 
Associated Press count.

US forces detain helicopter downing suspects
The US military says it has detained six Iraqi men in 
connection with the shooting down of a commercial helicopter 
this week in which 11 people were killed, including six 
Americans. 

The arrests were made on Saturday following tip offs from Iraqi 
civilians who led US forces to where the suspected attackers 
lived. It was not known where the men were seized. 

"The Iraqi citizen told the soldiers he knew where the blue 
pick-up truck the terrorists used during the attack was parked 
and led them to the site," the US military's 3rd Infantry 
Division said in a statement. 

"When the soldiers got there, several other local residents 
confirmed the first tip and showed the soldiers where the 
terrorists lived." 

Three men and bomb-making material were found in one house, and 
three others who in the process of making bombs were found in a 
second house, the military said. All six were detained for 
questioning. 

The Russian-made Mi-8 helicopter was shot down on Thursday as 
it travelled across a deserted region north of Baghdad. 

Video tapes released by an insurgent group to an Arabic-
language satellite channel show the helicopter was shot down by 
some sort of rocket. 

It was the first civilian aircraft to be shot down in Iraq. 

The three-man Bulgarian crew of the Bulgarian-owned helicopter 
were all killed, as were six American private security 
contractors and two Fijian guards. 

Video footage shown by Al Jazeera television shows that one of 
the Bulgarian crew may have survived the initial crash, only to 
be shot dead by militants scouring the wreckage.
