ABOVE LEFT- 2/27: China (and Saudi Arabia) conrol the American Stock Market. Their 9% sell-off cause a 416 point drop…the worst trading day since the opening session after 9/11. How did this happen? A trillion dollars in tax cuts to rich Americans and half a trillion (so far) for the Iraq Occupation…Who do you think has been picking up the tab? Imagine if China sells off half of its holdings.
ABOVE CENTER- 2/27: Who would want to assassinate this cuddly guy? 23 dead in the bombing. Our puppet government only controls the Capitol. The Taliban and drug warlords own the rest of Afghanistan.
ABOVE RIGHT- 2/26: Assassination attempt on Iraq’s Shiite Vice President (the other is Sunni)…5 dead, Adel Abdul Mahdi wounded in ministry office in Baghdad. We can’t even control the Capitol on this front.

Army asks dead to sign up for another hitch
POSTED: 9:39 p.m. EST, January 5, 2007WASHINGTON (AP) — The Army said Friday it would apologize to the families of 75 officers killed in action and about 200 wounded in actionabout who were mistakenly sent letters urging them to return to active duty.
“BARNEY IS TO CHILDREN AS OSAMA BIN LADEN IS TO ISLAM,” says Stuart Frankel
Well, of course, Barney had to sue. The threatening letters to blogger Stuart Frankel began in 2002.
But, an activist judge found in favor of Stuart and Barney was forced to pay $5,000 and was ordered to stop hassling Frankel and his webmaster…based on petty details like satire and free speech.

Steven Green and the Fog of War
Accused G.I. Was Troubled Long Before Iraq By JIM DWYER and ROBERT F. WORTH
Published: July 14, 2006
On the last day of January 2005, Steven D. Green, the former Army private accused of raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and murdering her family, sat in a Texas jail on alcohol-possession charges, an unemployed 19-year-old high school dropout who had just racked up his third misdemeanor conviction…

Five More U.S. Soldiers Charged in Iraq Rape-Slaying Case
American Investigators Want Teenage Victim’s Body Exhumed
BAGHDAD, Iraq (July 9) - Four more U.S. soldiers have been charged with rape and murder and a fifth with dereliction of duty in the alleged rape-slaying of a young Iraqi woman and the killings of her relatives in Mahmoudiya, the military said Sunday.
According to an FBI affidavit filed in Green’s case, Green and at least two others targeted the teenager and her family for a week before the attack, which was not revealed until witnesses came forward in late June. The soldiers drank alcohol, abandoned their checkpoint, changed clothes to avoid detection and headed to the victims’ house, about 200 yards from a U.S. military checkpoint in the so-called “Triangle of Death,” a Sunni Arab area south of Baghdad known for its violence, the affidavit said.
The affidavit estimated the rape victim was about 25. But a doctor at the Mahmoudiya hospital gave her age as 14. He refused to be identified for fear of reprisals.
God Bless, PFC Thomas L. Tucker of Madras, Ore. and PFC Kristian Menchaca of Houston of the 101st Airbourne. Our kids were tortured, mutilated and beheaded. Can you image their hell?
Their great mistake was serving America in Green’s platoon at the same Youssifiyah checkpoint where Steven and his four buddies leered at and perhaps molested this poor Abeer before invading the child’s home in a fatal attack…or, did these know about the rape/murders and were they part of a 3 month coverup?
If you think that this story is ugly, brace ypurself for the Haditha investigation: One of our guys gets blown up by an IED and his buddies flip out and go house to house slaughtering at least 24 unarmed, innocent civilians…mosty women and children.
FLAG BURNING AMENDMENT LOSES IN SENATE. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), chief sponsor of the effort admits, “Research now shows that most American flags are plastic (petroleum-base) and made in sweatshops in Taiwan. Thus, I am proposing a new “Flag Melting” Ban Amendment which includes a “There Is No Such Thing as Foreign Oil” declaration and a “Freedom of Underage Children to Work as Slave Labor to Promote the Agenda of the GOP Act”.
Or, an American company could sell fire-retardant flags. Oh, I’m sorry…that would be too easy.
Do you really support out troops?
Only 1% of Iraqis trust American and coalition forces for their personal protection.

Okay, the BOOGEYMAN is dead in Iraq, so let’s send those 130,000 American kids off to catch Bin Laden. Let the war profiteers like Halliburton and Shell/Texaco defend their own self interests.
We seldom recommend (to be honest, this is the first time ever) corporate whore…Time….but this issue is worth a look.
Yes, Dear Readers, our kids have reached the breaking point in Iraq. As a Vietnam vet I can tell you…this is deja vu all over again. After Tet in 1968, my peers and I began to realize that Uncle Sam didn’t send us to Nam to win the war…but to occupy. The locals were already aware before we began to recognize the hatred in their eyes. It seemed like everyone was our enemy. The only clear mission left was to survive and help our buddies stay alive. This line of thinking, of course, leads to nightmares like My Lai and Haditha…and there will be much worse if we don’t leave Iraq now! Magic SamHaditha

The Fog of War Continues in Ishaqi
Move Along…Nothing to see here.U.S. Troops Cleared in Ishaqi Raid Probe by KIM GAMEL, AP
BAGHDAD, Iraq (June 3) - A military investigation into allegations that American troops intentionally killed civilians in Ishaqi, a village north of Baghdad, has cleared them of misconduct, the U.S. said - even though it acknowledged the deaths of up to 13 Iraqis in the March raid.
The investigation of the March 15 attack in Ishaqi concluded that the U.S. troops followed normal procedures in raising the level of force as they came under attack upon approaching a building where they believed an al-Qaida terrorist was hiding, said Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, a U.S military spokesman. Caldwell also acknowledged there were “possibly up to nine collateral deaths” in addition to the four Iraqi deaths that the military announced at the time of the raid.
Local Iraqis said there were 11 dead, contending they were killed by U.S. troops before the house was leveled.
The bloody aftermath of the attack was captured at the time in the footage shot by an AP Television News cameraman. The video includes an unidentified man saying “children were stuck in the room, alone and surrounded. After they handcuffed them, they shot them dead. Later, they struck the house with their planes. They wanted to hide the evidence. Even a 6-month-old infant was killed. Even the cows were killed, too,” he said.
Iraqi Assails US for Strikes on Civilians by R. Oppel Jr. NY Times 6/2/6
Baghdad, Iraq - Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki lashed out at the American military on Thursday, denouncing what he characterized as habitual attacks by troops against Iraqi civilians.
In his comments, Mr. Maliki said violence against civilians had become a “daily phenomenon” by many troops in the American-led coalition who “do not respect the Iraqi people. They crush them with their vehicles and kill them just on suspicion. This is completely unacceptable. Attacks on civilians will play a role in future decisions on how long to ask American forces to remain in Iraq,” the prime minister added.

WASHINGTON — Photographs taken by a Marine intelligence team have convinced investigators that a Marine unit killed as many as 24 unarmed Iraqis, some of them “execution-style,” in the insurgent stronghold of Haditha after a roadside bomb killed an American in November, officials close to the investigation said Friday.
The pictures are said to show wounds to the upper bodies of the victims, who included several women and six children. Some were shot in the head and some in the back, congressional and defense officials said.

Riot Erupts After Kabul Traffic Accident
By RAHIM FAIEZ, AP
KABUL, Afghanistan (May 29) - A deadly traffic accident involving U.S. troops sparked a riot in the Afghan capital on Monday, with U.S. and Afghan security forces firing on protesters, police and witnesses said. At least five people were killed and 60 injured.
Hundreds of protesters marched on the palace of U.S.-backed President Hamid Karzai in the city center after the incident, shouting “Death to Karzai! Death to America!”
The Pentagon has been forced by public pressure to postpone the June 2nd, 700 ton Divine Strake (simulated nuke test) on Shoshone land in Nevada. Rock on, fellow bloggers. As usual, it was you, not corporate media, who threw a monkey wrench into the war machine.

Goss’s hand-picked #3 man, Kyle “Dusty” Foggo is under serious investigation in connection with a massive bribery scheme of sweetheart deals, million dollar contracts and drunken parties (some at the Watergate Hotel!) with hookers (female and/or male- depending on the source). Duke, Dusty and the Ghost on Nixon joined the fun. Did the Guest of Honor just resign?
