Nine Eleven Down the Memory Hole
Kurt Nimmo, Another Day in the Empire
It is interesting, if not wholly typical, that a Google news search of the
words “Morgan Reynolds” and “inside job” returns exactly ten matches.
Reynolds, a former Bushite (chief economist in the Labor Department during
Bush’s first term), told United Press International on June 8 “that the
official story about the collapse of the WTC is ‘bogus’ and that it is more
likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent
Buil! ding No. 7”...

Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Saturday, 25 June 2005
Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board,
the Free Arab Voice. ( http://www.freearabvoice.org )
...In a dispatch posted at 5:29am GMT, Quds Press reported that the city of
al-Fallujah was in a state of high tension as US occupation troops were
beginning to impose “extensive security measures” on the city following the
Resistance attack on Thursday that left six US troops dead and 13 others –
nine of them women – wounded! . The agency reported that the Americans were
preparing to mount a large-scale campaign of raids and searches in the
city...

Plame retaliation
Xymphora
There is a good article by Peter Bergen on fruitcake Laurie Mylroie, the
half of the Gruesome Twosome who is not currently in jail (Judy now has a
use for her toothbrush shiv). One paragraph caught my eye: "Mylroie has
also recently taken on the role of defender of Ahmed Chalabi, the head of
the Iraqi National Congress, who is accused of providing fraudulent
information about Iraq's WMD programme and passing intelligence to Iran. In
May, in the conservative newspaper the New York Sun, M! ylroie described
Chalabi as the victim of a 'longstanding grudge' by the CIA"....

... As a reporter for the New York Times, Judith Miller was used by the
White House to prosecute an illegal war of aggression that may ultimately
cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Instead of learning her lessons and
coming clean, she maintained her ties and secured her position as the print
media point for White House propaganda. She was leading the charge to war
with Iraq, Syria and North Korea before the curious case of Valerie Plame
imploded and brought her operatio! n to a close. Like Dan Rather before
her, Judy Miller has left us in a quandary. We believe in freedom of the
press but we also believe that Judy Miller has prostituted her profession
to the White House propaganda machine...

Iraq War Deserters Speak Out From Canada
First Person Commentaries, Paolo Pontoniere
...First steps you take in Baghdad, you realize that there's death and
destruction all over the place. No weapons of mass destruction in sight.
We're fighting people that we're supposed to help, but in fact they hate
you and every time you walk down the street they shoot at you because you
occupy their country. You're asked to get in their houses, in their
businesses, block the roads, but you're an occupying power, you're messing!
up their daily life. You're not a liberator. You raid their houses and kill
their family...

103 Iraqi Parliamentarians Demand Withdrawal of US Troops
Juan Cole, Informed Comment
...103 members of the National Assembly (the Parliament) have demanded the
adoption of a resolution cancelling the request made by the Government to
the UN Security Council to extend the presence of multinational forces, and
urging the Government to put “a clear plan for army building and a
timetable for the withdrawal of occupation troops” from Iraq...

Opinion polls show growing discontent with war on Iraq
Why Bush is losing the occupation
Socialist Worker
GEORGE W. BUSH’s June 28 speech to “reassure the American people” about his
war for oil and empire in Iraq didn’t even convince Republicans. Growing
criticism from his own ranks slowed somewhat, but lawmakers like Sen. John
McCain (R-Ariz.) still grumbled that the administration was too slow in
training a new Iraqi security force to take over policing the occupation.
Of course, McCain’s obje! ction is a symptom of the deeper problem for the
U.S.--that the occupation is hated by the vast majority of Iraqis, and
active opposition is growing continually...

Shock and Awe: Aerial Bombardment, American Style
William Van Wagenen, Electronic Iraq
Before the 2003 American invasion the Bush administration declared that the
strategy of "Shock and Awe" bombing would be used to assault Iraq. Driving
through Baghdad during my stay here in the last month has allowed me to see
some of the destruction caused by the aerial bombardment, which preceded
the US invasion. One thing that struck me as odd was a bombed out
government run shopping mall, which resembled the huge Wal-Mart s! tores
back home in the States. I asked our driver about it, who said the
Americans bombed it during the 2003 invasion. He said one could find
anything there, including food, clothing, and so forth...

So, Mr Bremer, where did all the money go?
Ed Harriman, The Guardian
At the end of the Iraq war, vast sums of money were made available to the
US-led provisional authorities, headed by Paul Bremer, to spend on
rebuilding the country. By the time Bremer left the post eight months
later, $8.8bn of that money had disappeared. Ed Harriman on the
extraordinary scandal of Iraq's missing billions...

Iraq insurgency forces Pentagon rethink on ability to fight two wars at once
Julian Borger, The Guardian
The Iraq counter-insurgency is forcing the Pentagon to question its
military doctrine that requires forces to be able to fight two major wars
at the same time, it was claimed yesterday. A four-yearly review of US
military power is not due until early next year, but it is already clear
that the strategy is under great strain from the Iraq war...
