87 WMD SITES ARE CLEARED
by Gary Jones And Tom Newton Dunn of the Mirror
WMD WILL BE ON BLAIR'S POLITICAL HEADSTONE
The British Press aren't burying their heads in the sand, unlike most of the U.S. media.
By John Pilger of the Mirror
The Bush Administration Lies about WMDs and one tiny bit of truth at the end: (Quotes below excerpted from an editorial at Truthout.org)
"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."
- Dick Cheney, August 26 2002
"Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons."
- George W. Bush, September 12 2002
"If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein is once again misleading the world."
- Ari Fleischer, December 2 2002
"We know for a fact that there are weapons there."
- Ari Fleischer, January 9 2003
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent."
- George W. Bush, State of the Union address, January 28 2003
"We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more."
- Colin Powell, February 5 2003
"We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have."
- George Bush, February 8 2003
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."
- George Bush, March 17 2003
"Well, there is no question that we have evidence and information that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, biological and chemical particularly . . . all this will be made clear in the course of the operation, for whatever duration it takes."
- Ari Fleischer, March 21 2003
"There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. As this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them."
- Gen. Tommy Franks, March 22 2003
"We know where they are. They are in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad."
- Donald Rumsfeld, March 30 2003
"I think you have always heard, and you continue to hear from officials, a measure of high confidence that, indeed, the weapons of mass destruction will be found."
- Ari Fleischer, April 10 2003
"We are learning more as we interrogate or have discussions with Iraqi scientists and people within the Iraqi structure, that perhaps he destroyed some, perhaps he dispersed some. And so we will find them."
- George Bush, April 24 2003
"There are people who in large measure have information that we need . . . so that we can track down the weapons of mass destruction in that country."
- Donald Rumsfeld, April 25 2003
"We'll find them. It'll be a matter of time to do so."
- George Bush, May 3 2003
"I am confident that we will find evidence that makes it clear he had weapons of mass destruction."
- Colin Powell, May 4 2003
"I'm not surprised if we begin to uncover the weapons program of Saddam Hussein -- because he had a weapons program."
- George W. Bush, May 6 2003
And now, ladies and gentlemen, could we have drum roll, for the real reason for the war on Iraq:
"...we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."
- Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Defense Secretary, June 4, 2003
June 4, 2003
IRAQ WAR WAS ABOUT OIL!!!
At last. They finally admit what we knew all along. Now, can we impeach Bush"
Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil.

Quotes of the day
"Intelligence leaves no doubt that Iraq continues to possess and conceal lethal weapons"
George Bush, Us President 18 March, 2003 (A violation of UN resolution 1441 and the "reason" the US went to war)
"We are asked to accept Saddam decided to destroy those weapons. I say that such a claim is palpably absurd"
Tony Blair, Prime Minister 18 March, 2003 (A violation of UN resolution 1441 and the "reason" Britain went to war)
"It is possible Iraqi leaders decided they would destroy them prior to the conflict"
Donald Rumsfeld, US Defence Secretary 28 May, 2003 (If true, Iraq complied with UN resolution 1441 and US and Britain are in clear breach of international law)
Hmm, I'm confused. Is Rumsfeld saying we might have screwed up" Does this mean we are going to give the oil back"

"Our world has suffered from both violent dogmatists and arrogant powers. On the one side, terrorism and fanaticism have distorted religion and, on the other side, the resort to the use of force, domination and unilateralism have made a mockery of concepts such as freedom and democracy. ...It is incumbent on us, in the name of Islam, to keep a distance from these two frightening faces: terrorism and unilateralism."

What the tax cut really means. Very scary stuff. Welcome to the Dark Ages.
By PAUL KRUGMAN
The New diseases: A little off topic, but also scary...
VIRAL EPIDEMIC SHOWS UP THE CRISIS OF NEW DISEASES
In the past 20 years, at least 30 new diseases have emerged, threatening the health of hundreds of millions, according to the World Health Organisation.
New diseases threaten humans and wildlife
What have we wrought: The last twenty years...
- AIDS
- SARS
- Legionnaires
- Mad Cow
- Nipah virus
- West Nile Virus
- Hantavirus
- New haemorraghic fevers including Ebola
- Vibrio Cholerae
- New hepatitis viruses
- Epidemics of food-borne and water-borne diseases due to new organisms such as cryptoporidium
- The threat of a new global influenza pandemic is increasing. Major shifts in the make-up of influenza viruses occur every 20 years or so, triggering large epidemics and causing thousands of deaths. The next such shift is expected very soon.
And a little further off topic: Lariam, the Anti-Malaria drug with a tiny little side effect - MURDER...

They are not meant to have the authority to create a new permanent government - which is the stated aim of London and Washington - or commit the occupied country to long-term contracts, such as oil exploration."
