No wonder America has so many enemies Posted: Sunday, September 28, 2003 Chasing a Mirage The U.S. was sure Saddam had WMD, but Iraqi scientists say the weapons were destroyed long before the war Why the Media Don't Call It as They See It True or false: Saddam Hussein helped plan the Sept.11 attacks. As those who read or heard President Bush's recent statement on the issue are aware, that assertion is false. Then why have so many Americans -- 69 percent, according to a Washington Post survey last month -- been telling public opinion pollsters they believe it is likely that Saddam was involved? Operation Oprah Wondering how the president plans to spend the $87 billion he asked for to rebuild Iraq? You could have tuned in to David Letterman last week to hear Colin Powell try to ease the country's sticker shock. National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice will soon be appearing on Oprah to do a version of the same. Flashback Venezuela may be forced to apply "diplomatic restrictions" on oil to U.S. The humiliation of an American president W's double quagmires Bogged down in Baghdad Flashback An occupation cannot last The UN's special envoy to Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello, voiced his hopes and fears for the country in his final television interview, before he was killed in a car bomb explosion last month. Reluctance to Share Control in Iraq Leaves U.S. on Its Own To rebuild Iraq after the ouster of Saddam Hussein, the Bush administration wanted control and it wanted international help on U.S. terms. A difficult few days of personal diplomacy at the United Nations last week confirmed that President Bush cannot have both, so he has settled for control. US won't pay for Iraq's long-term reconstruction: Bremer Halliburton Creating Iraqi Secret Police At Your Expense Bush feels heat over Iraq contracts Iraqi reconstruction for 'Dummies' Ever picked up a 'Dummies guide'? They're a big rage in the US; one can find a Dummies guide for pretty much anything under the sun. I remember in college picking up a Dummies guide for the opera and classical music, just to hone my pseudo-literati skills to make more vague, the inane conversation one tends to have at social events. Addressing causes of terrorism No wonder America has so many enemies President George W. Bush and aides lied the United States into a stupid, unnecessary colonial war that has so far killed more than 305 Americans and seriously wounded more than 1,400. It has also cost many thousands of Iraqi dead, and $1 billion US weekly.   Printer friendly version  Send page by E-Mail |
