02-09-07 - Chris Hedges: The Christian Right?s War on America I try not to focus on it.

I?d rather just put the blinders on and keep going and say what I have to say. I don?t like it, obviously, and I especially don?t like it when it devolves?as it usually does?into character assassination. We saw that with the response to Jimmy Carter?s book


02-09-07 - Netanyahu: Try Iranian on genocide charge genocide def - the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group . Who has driven nearly 3/4 million people from their homes, who has wiped Palestine off the map, who continues to squeeze a people into smaller and smaller areas of land by unlawful land confiscation (this includes by way of the wall)?

I would bet all of my money on the fact that they knew what was coming, and that's why they came to Liberty Park to watch the incident, and that's precisely why they were seen cheering after the FIRST plane went into the WTC - when it had not yet been established that this was a terrorist attack. "Cui bono- Who benefits? - is a question that must ever be asked about Middle Eastern terror" - Pat Buchanan. Do your own research - who has benefited the most from the subsequent 'war on terror' and the political situation as well. You will get a few different answers: Israel, Cheney, and the neocons. Whose war is this?. I've got that Fox News video that has since disappeared without a trace from the internet at Fox's insistance. somewhere. Though I am not sure that I have all four parts of that series. For your perusal: the Bergen County Record article about the incident retrieved from the Internet Archiver.
