Blackwater in Iraq : Killing for Profit

http://www.counterpunch.org/landau10112007.html October 11, 2007 Blackwater in Iraq Killing for Profit By SAUL LANDAU The words "Support Our Troops" stain the rear bumpers of thousands of cars. The slogan, however, conceals a more pernicious demand: "Support Our Mercenaries." Yes, in Iraq, the mercenaries--euphemistically called "paid contractors"--outnumber US troops, 180,000 to 160,000.

Chanson pour Bagdad - Song for Bagdad (Tina Arena)

J'ai vécu heureuse Dans mes palais D'or noir et de pierres précieuses, Le Tigre glissait Sur les pavés de cristal, Mille califes se bousculaient Sur mes carnets de bal. On m'appelait La Cité pleine de grâce, Dieu, Comme le temps passe, On m'appelait Capitale de lumière, Dieu, Que tout se perd. Je m'appelle Bagdad, Et je suis tombé Sous le feu des blinds Sous le feu des blinds, Je m'appelle Bagdad, Princesse défigure, Et Shhrazade M'a oublié M'a oublié. Je vis sur mes terres Comme une pauvre […]

Credible Poll Revealing 1.2 Million Violent Deaths In Iraq

The Media Ignore Credible Poll Revealing 1.2 Million Violent Deaths In Iraq Global Research, October 8, 2007 Media Lens We Can’t Talk About Oil The media are not, as is commonly supposed, windows on the world; they are more like paintings or sketches of windows on the world - both the 'window’ and the 'reality’ beyond are manufactured corporate products. The problem is that the manufacturers selling their wares, while portraying themselves as disinterested, are anything but. They are […]

Iraq's WMD Myth : Why Clinton is Culpable By Andrew Cockburn

Weekend Edition September 29 / 30, 2007 Why Clinton is Culpable Iraq's WMD Myth By ANDREW COCKBURN A former senior UN diplomat has revealed to me details of how, just over 10 years ago, the Clinton administration deliberately sabotaged UN weapons inspections in Iraq.

Thus the stage was set for the manufacture of the Iraqi WMD myth as […]
