Bush’s Middle East policy in tatters
Posted by seumasach on May 20, 2008
“Time and again during Bush’s Middle East tour, what emerges is this palpable sense that the US has been all but marginalized from a new Middle East that is taking shape.”

“They Arab leaders have stopped taking their instructions from Islam, they have decided that peace with the Zionists is their strategic option, so damn their decision.” – Osama bin Laden, audio message, May 18
Last Tuesday, while United States President George W Bush was setting out from Washington on a five-day tour of the Middle East, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency quoted Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad as hinting that Tehran might consider a cut in oil exports.

Defeat for the US/UK in Iraq and for Israel in Lebanon are resulting in a historic realignment in the Middle East
Sunday, May 18, 2008(MISSING LINKS)
Both the Egyptian and Jordanian regimes have concluded that the Palestine-Israel talks are dead, at least for the duration of the Bush administration, Arab reports suggest. This led to an undiplomatic and possibly historic Mubarak-Bush dust-up at a Sharm-el-Sheikh conference, and a suggestion by an experienced Jordanian commentator that his country would do well to seek out a better relationship with Iran.

Rumsfeld: “Why Not another 911”
Posted by seumasach on May 19, 2008
Rumsfeld’s mouth is a bit of a liability: remember when he refered to the “missile” that hit the Pentagon
In a newly-released tape of a 2006 neocon luncheon meeting featuring former War Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, attended by ex-military “message force multiplier” propaganda shills Lt. General Michael DeLong, David L. Grange, Donald W. Sheppard, James Marks, Rick Francona, Wayne Downing, Robert H. Scales and others, Rumsfeld declared that the American people lack “the maturity to recognize the seriousness of the ‘threats’” — and need another 9/11. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted by seumasach on May 19, 2008
