Nel segno di Bush
Giulietto Chiesa, Megachip
...Gli iracheni conosceranno la democrazia al piretro, allo zolfo e al
napalm e non sapremo mai quanti l'avranno gradita perchè non c'è spazio per
osservatori esterni diligenti tra un proiettile vagante e un altro, tra
un'autobomba e un carro armato. Noi li bombardiamo e li massacriamo perché
votino. Si dice che queste elezioni le vogliono gli sciiti e i curdi, e
probabilmente è vero. Ma questa è la premessa inesorabile per una
liquidazione dell'Iraq come entità statale unitaria, perchè i sunniti non
voteranno o non potranno votare...

WASHINGTON IMPONE GLI OGM ALL'IRAK
Green Planet
Paul L. Bremer, l'ex capo dell'Autorità provvisoria della coalizione (Cpa),
ha "geneticamente modificato" l'agricoltura irachena. L'ex proconsole
americano in Iraq, quando abbandonò a fine giugno le redini del governo
iracheno, si lasciò dietro le spalle una coda di decreti, 100 per la
precisione, alcuni dei quali tuttora molto criticati. Tra questi, il
Decreto 81 - la Legge sui brevetti - che, a parere di uno studio del Think
Tank Focus on the Global South, sta stro zzando gli agricoltori iracheni...

Israel's Battle in Fallujah
Rashid Khashana, Al-Hayat
It has become clear that Israel played a major role in the battle for
Fallujah, despite the American concern to conceal this fact. What news
leaked of officers, soldiers, and even rabbis of dual citizenships that
took part in the battles, some of which were killed by the resistance's
bullets, is only the tip of the iceberg. The killing of an Israeli officer
in Fallujah exposed the existence of a large number officers, snipers, and
paratroopers in Iraq...

Falluja is the United States' Warsaw Ghetto
xymphora
...Falluja is the United States' Warsaw Ghetto, with the exception that the
Nazis captured the inhabitants of the Warsaw Ghetto to work them to death,
while the Americans, in a different economic situation, simply shoot the
inhabitants of Falluja. The hard-core militants who may or may not be
involved in the car bombings left Falluja long before the American attack -
an attack which was telegraphed for weeks while Bush waited for the
election to be over - and al l that were left to die were the civilian
inhabitants of Falluja defending their families against the new Nazis, and
a very tiny group of Islamic fighters hoping to become martyrs...

Iraq Mess Likely Isn't Spontaneous
Tom Fentonm CBS
...Saddam Hussein knew he could not defeat the invasion forces; indeed, his
army did not even try. When the coalition attacked Iraq, entire Iraqi
divisions melted away. Even the elite Republican Guards did not fight. The
various military, paramilitary and security forces simply went underground
and became part of the population. Arms were distributed and stashed
throughout the country...

'Something was not right': Cameraman goes public on video footage of marines
Rupert Cornwell
The unarmed Iraqi prisoner killed by a US marine during the battle of
Fallujah made no movements apart from breathing before he was shot dead,
the NBC journalist who filmed the incident said yesterday. In a new and
wrenching account of the episode inside a mosque on 13 November, the
journalist Kevin Sites also indicated that at least two, possibly three
other wounded prisoners left behind by the marines on 12 November were shot
by another unit the following day...

U.S. Death Toll in Iraq for November Tops 100
Robert Burns, The Associated Press
Three Marines who were wounded in action during the Fallujah offensive
later died at American hospitals in Germany and the United States, the
Pentagon said Monday, raising the U.S. military death toll in Iraq for
November to at least 101. Since the initial U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in
March 2003, the only other month in which U.S. deaths exceeded 100 was last
April, when insurgent violence flared and Marines fought fierce battles in
F allujah and Ramadi...

Fallujah and the Meaning of Jihad:
Algeria 1956/Iraq 2004
Luciana Bohne, www.globalresearch.ca
...Are we listening yet? Do we have the courage to admit that "if the USA's
honor can go along with these tactics . . . , then the USA is a country
without honor." I have substituted "USA" for "France," the entity in the
original quotation by Robert Bonnard, French intellectual protesting his
country's brutal repression of the Algerian popular resistance in the 1950s
to the 130-year-old occupation of their country. T hen, it took one million
Algerian dead to shake the conscience of the French people awake and turn
them in revulsion against the slaughter in the name of ridding "French"
Algeria of "terrorists," who were no other than the Algerian people
themselves, yearning to be free...

Face the Music: Time to Oppose Our Troops' Actions
Joshua Frank, www.dissidentvoice.org
At what point will the left have to face the music and admit that in order
to fully oppose the Iraq war, we have to also oppose 'our troops' actions?
On Saturday November 6, US forces pounded Fallujah and razed a civilian
hospital. "Witnesses said only a facade remained of a small Emergency
Hospital in the centre of the city," reported the BBC News on the day of
the bombing. "A nearby medical supplies storeroom and dozens of ho uses
were also damaged as US forces continued preparing the ground for an
expected major assault"...

Iraqi Resistance Report for events of Monday, 22 November 2004.
Translated and/or compiled by Muhammad Abu Nasr, member, editorialboard,
the Free Arab Voice. http://www.freearabvoice.org
... China's Xinhua News Agency reported Monday that Iraqi Resistance forces
hold 60 percent of al-Fallujah and have surrounded dozens of US Marines in
the al-Jawlan district of the city. Quoting eyewitnesses on Sunday "who
managed to sneak out of the city," Xinhua wrote that the residents reported
that the Resistance still contro ls the southern part of al-Fallujah, which
"constitutes the larger part of the city." Xinhua quoted the witnesses as
saying that "US troops only control the north and small eastern spots in
the city." The residents said that "some American troops are based in
government buildings and they are pounded by fighters." They told the
Chinese news agency, "in daytime groups of mujahideen engage with
hit-and-run attacks with US Marines, and at the same time they gear
themselves up for the night battles." Xinhua reported that "fierce fighting
and loud explosions resonated throughout the al-Jawlan neighborhood before
sunset." ...

Resistance is Warranted
Macdonald Stainsby, www.dissidentvoice.org
...
Beginning on November 30, 2004 George W Bush will be in a country that has
endorsed the WCC. Despite certain protestations to the contrary, Canada is
legally obliged to arrest George W Bush for war crimes. Going all the way
back to Nuremberg, the precedent for the WCC, the number one crime -- the
crime that got the Nazis hanged -- is to launch "aggressive" war. All other
crimes, such as torture at Abu Ghraib, murder of wounded prisoners,
targeting of hospitals during war, denying basic medicines -- stem from the
primary crime against humanity, the crime against international peace. It
is of little consequence how many of these crimes can be proved to involve
Bush's direction. What matters is he launched illegal aggressive war. If
Canada does not arrest him, it means Canada is in breach of their
international obligations as a signatory in the Hague...

Blunder or routine? Videotaped Fallujah shooting causes stir
Jean-Marc Mojon and Ned Parker, AFP
...But reports from newsmen embedded with the US troops during the assault
launched on November 8 suggest that the shooting may not have been an
isolated incident. Instead, it may have simply been the only one caught on
tape, an illustration of the looser rules of engagement authorised for the
Fallujah offensive. "The enemy can dress as a woman, the enemy can be
faking to be dead," said one company commander to his mar ines before
entering the heart city. "So shoot everything that moves and everything
that doesn't move," he said...

Iraq's Shaalan threatens Al-Jazeera
Middle East Online
Iraqi Defence Minister Hazem Shaalan branded the popular Arabic-language
satellite televison Al-Jazeera a "channel of terrorism", in a newspaper
interview published Tuesday. "Al-Jazeera is a channel of terrorism. That is
clear and we say openly and without hesitation: Al-Jazeera is a channel of
terrorism," he told the London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat...

Why The USA Must Reject Bush's Evil "Marquis de Sade" Nominee For Attorney
General: Alberto Gonzales, who Wrote "Torture Memo" That Laid Groundwork
For Abu Ghraib
Evan Augustine Peterson III, J.D, OpEdNews.com
There was a bipartisan consensus on last Sunday's televised political
talk-shows that the US Senate will confirm, with relative ease, Mr. Bush's
appointment of Alberto R. Gonzales as the next Attorney General ("AG").
However, if our Senators retain any respect for universal human rights and
the rule of const itutional and international law, they will vigorously
oppose Mr. Gonzales' appointment as our new AG. [1] [2] Furthermore, it's
imperative that our Senators, both left and right, defeat this unwise
appointment for the following five reasons...

Un marine uccide 7 civili iracheni in un autobus
Granma
Le agenzie di stampa segnalano che un marine statunitense ha ammazzato 7
civili iracheni che viaggiavano su un autobus a Ramadi, una delle città
dove la resistenza è più attiva, situata 110 Km ad Ovest di Baghdad. Stando
alle informazioni delle fonti militari nordamericane, confermate dalla
polizia irachena, il marine (sabato scorso) ha sparato perché il conducente
dell'autobus, per motivi sconosciuti, non si è fermato ad un posto di
blocco ed "ha ignorato gl i avvertimenti", ha affermato il comando militare
statunitense in un comunicato...

Random Thoughts on the Murder of Margaret Hassan
Kurt Nimmo
...Finally, is it possible the Pentagon and the CIA—or whatever other
covert intelligence organizations we have no knowledge about—would actually
abduct and kill innocent people in an effort to discredit the Iraqi
resistance or drive humanitarian workers out of Iraq? If you think not,
consider Operation Northwoods (as described by David Ruppe): In the early
1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill
innocent people and commi t acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create
public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the
plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban emigres,
sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing
up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities...

Ring of Fire
Chris Floyd, Axis of Logic
...What they saw instead were two loudly devout Christians, Bush and Tony
Blair, clasping hands and proclaiming that Artica Salim had been torn to
shreds in order to fight terrorism -- specifically, the terrorism of
Jordanian thug Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The city's alleged refusal to turn
over Zarqawi was the ostensible reason for the attack. Yet halfway through
the assault, with dead civilian bodies already stinking in the streets,
coalition commanders finally admitted the tr uth: Zarqawi wasn't in
Fallujah, and hadn't been there for weeks, perhaps monts (...) Bush and
Zarqawi are mirror-image enemies: foreign terrorists breaking into Iraq to
spread indiscriminate death and ruin in pursuit of their brutal visions.
Everywhere they go, everything they touch, everyone they draw to their
cause becomes inferno...
