News for 04-07-06

04-07-06 - Iran: The Next Neocon Target by Hon. Ron Paul Already the coordinating propaganda has galvanized the American people against Iran for the supposed threat it poses to us with weapons of mass destruction that are no more present than those Saddam Hussein was alleged to have had. It?s amazing how soon after being thoroughly discredited over the charges levied against Saddam Hussein the Neo-cons are willing to use the same arguments against Iran. It?s frightening to see how easily Congress, the media, and the people accept many of the same arguments against Iran that were used to justify an invasion of Iraq.

04-07-06 - US consults Gulf states on Iran 'threats' A second U.S. official, who was also not authorized to speak on the record, called the Iran government "an aggressive expansionist regime that is developing a nuclear weapons system and has demonstrated intentions which are deeply unsettling."

And the irony of the year is the response to the Palestinian rejection of Fatah corruption by voting in Hamas - the EU and the US just today cut all aid to the Palestinians. There's that neocon 'democracy' rearing its ugly head again. 'You will elect Israel-friendly regimes or else!'


04-07-06 - Did Bush misuse presidential powers? The BBC reports that, according to Libby, the aim of the leak seems to have been an effort to rebut an article by Ambassador Wilson, Ms. Plame's husband, that questioned some of the evidence that was being used to justify the case for going to war against Iraq.

04-07-06 - Kerry, the anti-war candidate? by Patrick J. Buchanan The Bush bellicosity toward Tehran gave us Ahmadinejad.
