[Warren Throckmorton] Message to Obama: We Were Greeted as Liberators: The latest case, which, sadly, has dug its way into the head of the Democratic presidential nominee, is the allegation that American troops, when they liberated Baghdad in April 2003, were not welcome as liberators. This inaccurate appraisal, shocking given that it’s made by people who watched the liberation on TV, was leveled again on Tuesday evening by Barack Obama for the second time in consecutive presidential debates.
[Ten Percent] Secret Summary Executions Under Maliki’s Reign: In their book, Hope is Not a Plan, Thomas S Mowle and Larry Diamond said that the US Army’s chief intelligence officer in Iraq in 2003, Maj Gen Barbara Fast, established “an intelligence fusion cell manned by Americans, British, and Australians… The fusion cell dealt with targeting, counterterrorism, interrogation support, political-military matters, and the insurgency.”
[A Mobile News] War News for Monday, September 22, 2008: An IED emplaced by unidentified men inside a civilian vehicle went off on the main road near Nafaq al-Shurta area, western Baghdad, wounding four civilian passengers,” the source, who did not want his name mentioned, told Aswat al-Iraq .
[Member Posts] A Guilty McCain tries to Change the Subject: Take the Iraq war for example, a moment in history that became a public entertainment-like scene on CNN when the Americans invaded Baghdad in April 2003. It was an air-raid that eventually turned into a ground level tank-raid once the Iraqi’s were deemed weak enough to be ambushed and taken over.
[Docudharma - Front Page] Docudharma Times friday October 3: While the group called the Sons of Iraq (SOI) has been critically important in improving security, the US military and many leaders within the SOI worry that their foot soldiers - many of them ex-insurgents - will simply return to their old ways if they are not paid or brought into Iraq's official security forces.
[Cpt jag's Openhartige] Massive Ordnance discover near Haditha: According to Muhammed Jassim Muhammed, a member of the National Iraqi Intelligence Agency, “when we arrived, there was a 70-meter wide hole dug, but (the insurgents) had not finished burying everything.
[The Conservative Reader] First Presidential Debate: Exercise In Futility, Part 1: McCain gets the opportunity to start really showing what foreign affairs is really all about. While Obama sounds like a bull in a china shop with his approach to dealing with Pakistan, McCain clearly recognizes the subtleties of diplomacy. Picking on Obama’s apparently careless approach in both planning and communicating gives him some big points here. The only problem is that this is an area that many Americans are really not familiar with, and those that are will either back McCain or pray that the State Department will protect us. Best line: “I won’t repeat the mistake that I regret enormously, and that is, after we were able to help the Afghan freedom fighters and drive the Russians out of Afghanistan, we basically washed our hands of the region. And the result over time was the Taliban, al Qaeda, and a lot of the difficulties we are facing today. So we can’t ignore those lessons of history.” Great because it points to the massively misunderstood history behind our struggles with the Taliban. Great because it is an opportunity to admit error and regrets. This is a golden opportunity for honesty and awareness. Worst line: “Now, on this issue of aiding Pakistan, if you’re going to aim a gun at somebody, George Shultz, our great secretary of state, told me once, you’d better be prepared to pull the trigger.” I just don’t understand why he used this line here. It was a little extreme to me, and didn’t seem to fit what he was actually talking about (financial support for Pakistan).
[Theodore's World] Obama Tried To Stall GI's Iraq Withdrawl: “We don't think that talking about specific negotiating tactics or your negotiating position in the press is the best way to negotiate a deal,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said after al-Maliki was quoted in a magazine article supporting Obama's proposed 16-month troop withdrawal timeline. Al-Maliki's spokesman, al-Dabbagh, initially appeared to try to discredit the magazine report but yesterday expressed anew hopes that U.S. combat forces could be out of Iraq by 2010.
[SWJ Blog] 3 October SWJ Roundup: The theme would be applying these ideas to conflict in the post-Iraq era, and more specifically to the types of diffused, networked, “open source” armed conflicts that some have called “fifth generation warfare.” We are also interested in exploring solutions, such as the role of “resilient communities” (RC), for countering them. As Oil and food prices have climbed and the mortgage crisis has grown, the need to think more about Resilient Communities has become more urgent.
[Blaine561's Blog] Blaine561’s Record of History Being Made, Nomination of Barak Obama.: But on the two great questions of this election, how to rebuild the American Dream and how to restore America’s leadership in the world, he still embraces the extreme philosophy which has defined his party for more than 25 years, a philosophy we never had a real chance to see in action until 2001, when the Republicans finally gained control of both the White House and Congress. Then we saw what would happen to America if the policies they had talked about for decades were implemented.
[Dikgaj's Weblog] Germany edges close to India - countries where anti-Islam means ...: It is better then and not now that a declaration should be issued as (now) we cannot help in anything. I understand the Arab desire for this (declaration-Ed.), but His Excellency the Mufti must understand that only five years after I became President of the German government and Fuehrer of the German people, was I able to get such a declaration (the Austrian Union-Ed.), and this because military forces prevented me from issuing such a declaration. But when the German Panzer tanks and the German air squadrons reach the Southern Caucasus, then will be the time to issue the declaration.
[Flopping Aces] Did President Bush Link Saddam Hussein to 9/11?: “The notion was reinforced by these hints, the discussions that they had about possible links with al Qaeda terrorists,” said Andrew Kohut, a pollster who leads the nonpartisan Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.
[Election Fraud Blog] Kucinich Presents 35 Articles of Impeachment for George W. Bush: Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution “to take care that the laws be faithfully executed”, has both personally and acting through his agents and subordinates, together with the Vice President, executed a calculated and wide-ranging strategy to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States into believing that there was and is a connection between Iraq and Saddam Hussein on the one hand, and the attacks of September 11, 2001 and al Qaeda, on the other hand, so as to falsely justify the use of the United States Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner that is damaging to the national security interests of the United States, as well as to fraudulently obtain and maintain congressional authorization and funding for the use of such military force against Iraq, thereby interfering with and obstructing Congress’s lawful functions of overseeing foreign affairs and declaring war.

[Know The Lies - Demistifying Poverty and Disease. What has Socio-economics done for you lately? -] Prosecution of George W. Bush by the International Criminal Court: Were you to consider the evidence of international crimes in Iraq as it exists today, and to consider the crimes committed on behalf of the president of the United States by members of the United States military and mercenaries employed by the United States, I believe you would find a case for prosecution that met the standards you applied, and applied well and admirably, to the president of Sudan.
