uruknet.info «Ë-Ë"Ê Æ‰Ê·Ë :: information from occupied iraq :: informazione dall'iraq occupato LA GUERRA CON L'IRAN E' GIA' COMINCIATA Scott Ritter, Comedonchisciotte.org ...Per come stanno le cose molti si illudono che nel caso dell'Iran venga evitata o comunque rinviata la continuazione della corrente follia irachena. Ma si tratta delle speranze di illusi. La realtà E' che la guerra contro l'Iran E' già cominciata. Mentre stiamo parlando dei velivoli senza pilota stanno sorvolando il territorio iraniano con strumentazioni sempre più moderne e efficaci. La violazione dello spazio aereo di una nazione sovran! a E', di per sé, un atto di guerra. Ma la guerra con l'Iran E' andata ben al di là di una semplice raccolta di informazioni... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13090&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13090 TRIBUNALE MONDIALE SULL'IRAQ, TESTIMONIANZA PER LA SESSIONE FINALE Dahr Jamail, Comedonchisciotte.org ...Ma questa testimonianza non E' sullo spirito indomabile degli iracheni. Non E' sulla dignità e la forza degli iracheni, che non abbiamo bisogno di provare. Questa testimonianza E' sulle violazioni del diritto internazionale, tuttora in atto, commesse quotidianamente dagli occupanti dell'Iraq con torture imperversanti, negligenza o ostruzione nella fornitura delle cure mediche e il fallimento, che continua, nel pe! rmettere agli Iracheni di ricostruire le loro infrastrutture... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13169&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13169 Bush's Speech at Fort Bragg Annotated Transcript Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research We present to our readers the transcript of Bush's Fort Bragg speech, which centers profusely on 9/11 and the "war on terrorism" as a justification for US military presence in Iraq. This carefully prepared script by Karl Rove et al, will go down in the history of presidential addresses as "a pack of lies", to use George Galloway's description of the US war agenda in his May 2005 testimony to the US Senate. 9/11 Galor! e, Osama is portrayed as the enemy of America, Zarqawi is preparing to attack us, etc.. Almost every statement in the speech can be refuted. The speech is fiction. It turns concepts upside down. To sustain Bush's "War on Terrorism" agenda these fabricated realities, funneled on a day to day basis into the news chain, must become indelible truths... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13197&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13197 Honey, They Shrunk My Iraq War Speech Ahmed Amr, www.dissidentvoice.org ...Under the roof of the White House, George Bush has assembled what appears to be the most lethargic unimaginative group of speech meisters ever to gain government employment. The amount of redundancy in his smoke and mirrors show at Fort Bragg was astounding. Virtually every sentence in the speech was plagiarized from previous Bush pep talks, and whole paragraphs were plagiarized from other parts of the same speech. Are we paying these guys! ? I want a refund. If this is government work, privatize speech writing or outsource it to China... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13202&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13202 Manufacturing Support How the Washington Post Lied about Its Own War Poll MIKE SCHAEFER, CounterPunch In a deceitful boost to Bush on the morning of his Iraq address, the Washington Post and ABC News released a poll of U.S. public opinion on Iraq. But the Post's numbers in their print version (in the body of the article) underestimates the "Out Now" position by more than 3 times. One has to look at their actual numbers (Poll Data) to see that support for "staying the course" is much smaller than the art! icle suggests... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13201&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13201 Bush, Ft. Bragg and "Disassemble" Stay the Crooked Course RAY McGOVERN, Former CIA Analyst - CounterPunch ...Forget the documentary evidence (the Downing Street minutes) that the war on Iraq was fraudulent from the outset. Forget that the U.S. and U.K. starting pulverizing Iraq with stepped-up bombing months before president or prime minister breathed a word to Congress or Parliament. Forget that Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and his merry men-his co-opted, castrated military brass-have no clue regarding w! hat U.S. forces are up against in Iraq. The president insists that we must stay the course... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13199&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13199 Bush's Speech at Fort Bragg Annotated Transcript Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research We present to our readers the transcript of Bush's Fort Bragg speech, which centers profusely on 9/11 and the "war on terrorism" as a justification for US military presence in Iraq.

"I think the American people are a lot smarter than that," said Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden in response to Bush's dishonest linkage of the Iraqi occupation to nine eleven. "They've figured this out." If so, they seem uniquely unmotivated to do anything about it. "There is absolutely no connection between Saddam ! Hussein and al Qaeda," said Lynne Jones, a British Laborite. "What they have ensured, in invading Iraq, is they have actually promoted al Qaeda's involvement in other countries, including Iraq." No evidence of this either. "The truth is, as everyone can see, that Zarqawi and the other extremist formations that have sprouted in Iraq are the result of the invasion, not the reason for it," said British MP George Galloway, who should know better... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13195&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13195 Bush Speech: More Lies, More Campfire Stories Kurt Nimmo, Another Day in the Empire Here's the skinny on Bush's lie fest last night: he can continue to make things up (or as Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska said the other day, the Bushites make things up as they go along) and few people will call him on it. Bush has a do not go to jail card, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Earlier today, the Washington Post called Bush on his "omissions" and was too polite (or politically correct) to tell it straight up—Bush ! is a liar, the government went to war on false pretenses, thousands of people were needlessly slaughtered, and doing the right thing, as a "nation of laws," necessitates impeaching Bush and sending him and his conniving Straussian cronies to the Hague. Of course, this will never happen... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13194&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13194 Who's Spreading What? Bush's Big Democratic Hoax in Iraq ROGER BURBACH and PAUL CANTOR, CounterPunch President George Bush told the nation on Tuesday night that we are in Iraq to fight terrorism and spread democracy. Joseph Goebbels, Adolph Hitler's minister of propaganda said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it people will eventually come to believe it." Goebbels had it right. Bush didn't invade Iraq to fight terrorism and promote democracy. He invaded Iraq to establish a military stro! nghold in the oil rich Middle East. But he has repeated that lie often enough that more and more people have come to accept it as the truth... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13192&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13192 Paper details Saddam court hearing UPI ...They said Saddam denied he had ordered the mass killing, but after the judge told him his former vice president Taha Yassin Ramadan and his half-brother Barzan al-Tikriti testified that he had ordered "revenge mass killings," Saddam said, "If they said that and they signed this testimony, then I am responsible." One of his defense lawyer told the paper Saddam doubted Ramadan and Tikriti had testified to that effect, "but he behaved as a president should and took responsi! bility"... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13191&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13191 Torture and Accountability ELIZABETH HOLTZMAN, The Nation Although the terrible revelations of torture at Abu Ghraib hit the front pages in April 2004, no senior officials in the US military or the Bush Administration have yet been held accountable. The scandal has shamed and outraged many Americans, in addition to creating a greater threat of terrorism against the United States. But it has prompted no investigative commission (in the manner of the 9/11 commission) with a mandate to find the whole truth, or full-! scale bipartisan Congressional hearings, as occurred during Watergate... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13209&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13209 Guess who'll take the blame for Bush's war P.M. Carpenter Resolved: Iraq is a mess. If there's anyone present who still believes there isn't any comparison between this and Vietnam -- other than Michael "there isn't any comparison between this and Vietnam" Deaver, the former Reagan aide -- let him speak now, or forever lose eligibility for the Blindest of the Blind Hall of Fame. History isn't just repeating itself. It's mocking us. Every bloody day we hear this glib administration cite the rosy progress of a perp! etually grim situation, with its generals in tow, nodding in self-denying but sycophantic agreement... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13208&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13208 Bush's Speech: the View from Cairo Give Him an Oscar for Crass LINDA S. HEARD, CounterPunch ...In all, the linkage between Iraq and September 11 was made five times during that speech, which represented nothing less than yet another brazen attempt at playing the politics of fear, revenge and faux patriotism. It was simply tried and true psychological drip-drip piss; indoctrination at its most blatant. Apart from Bush diehards and the nation's most moronic, the world and its wife know that both the Iraqi! people and their former dictatorship had nothing whatsoever to do with 9-11... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13189&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13189 Bush at Fort Bragg—fear-mongering, lies and desperation WSWS Editorial Board Statement President Bush's speech before a captive audience of 740 troops at Fort Bragg, North Carolina Tuesday night was a repellant spectacle. It combined the pack of lies that the country has heard over and over again for nearly four years with appeals to backwardness, ignorance and fear, all intended to quash the mounting popular opposition to the war in Iraq... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13188&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13188 Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Tuesday, 28 June 2005 Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorial board, the Free Arab Voice. ...Months after the stories began appearing in the Iraqi Resistance Report, the American Knight Ridder newspapers recently reported that Iraqi puppet security forces have been torturing and killing Iraqi Sunnis. A story by Tom Lasseter and Yasser Salihee for the Knight Ridder papers published on Monday 27 June 2005 reported that "days after Iraq's new Shi'i-led! puppet government was announced on April 28, the bodies of Sunni Muslim men began turning up at the capital's central morgue after the men had been detained by people wearing Iraqi police uniforms"... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13187&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13187 US, Iraqi troops kill 9 people in new offensive in western Iraq Xinhuanet Nine people were killed in Iraq's western town of Hit on Wednesday as US and Iraqi troops launched their latest offensive aimed at curbing insurgency in western Iraq, medical sources and witnesses said.

The article is worth reading carefully and paying attention more to what it implies than to what it says for in reality it is a warning shot across the bows of 'Battleship Bush' that he's fucked up big time... .... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13205&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13205 "Up in Smoke" Bush Flops in Prime Time Mike Whitney, www.dissidentvoice.org ...Now the speech begins to take shape and we can see that the expectant nation will not get a straight answer, just more nattering about the scourge of terrorism. "The terrorists know that the outcome will leave them emboldened or defeated. So they are waging a campaign of murder and destruction. And there is no limit to the innocent lives they are willing to take." Let's see . . . so far, the "terrorists", as Bush likes to ca! ll the Iraqi resistance, have killed 1,700 American servicemen. Bush's legions, on the other hand, have killed more than 100,000 Iraqis. Who are the terrorists? (...) So far, the only people to use "lethal weapons" (WMD) in Iraq have been the US Army. The same rule applies to Bush's charge that the Iraqi resistance is "capable of any atrocity". Perhaps, he should review his notes on Abu Ghraib and Falluja and decide who was really responsible... <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13203&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13203 Looting of ancient sites threatens Iraqi heritage Mark Wilkinson, Reuters ...The ancient Assyrian capital of Nineveh, the ziggurat at Ur, the temple precinct of Babylon and the 9th century spiral minaret at Samarra have been "scarred by violence," the World Monuments Fund said, while adding that looting has damaged other equally significant sites, especially in the South. Touring Iraqi sites from a U.S. military helicopter, McGuire Gibson, a professor at the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, said h! e could see between 250 and 300 men digging at the site of the ancient city Adab.

The shot appears to have been fired by a U.S. military sniper, though there were Iraqi soldiers in the area who also may have been shooting at the time. Salihee, 30, had the day off and was driving alone near his home in the western Baghdad neighborhood of Amariyah when a single bullet pierced his windshield and then his skull. <http://www.uruknet.info/?s1=1&p=13211&s2=30>Read the full article / Leggi l'articolo completo: www.uruknet.info/?p=13211 <http://www.uruknet.info>www.uruknet.info: a site gathering daily information concerning occupied Iraq: news, analysis, documents and texts of iraqi resistance available in Italian and English.
