Mark Fiore has a new animation: The War for Profit.
NYTimes: "Participants in a contentious Baghdad security operation this month have told American investigators that during the operation at least one guard continued firing on civilians while colleagues urgently called for a cease-fire. At least one guard apparently also drew a weapon on a fellow guard who did not stop shooting, an American official said.
The operation, by the private firm Blackwater USA, began as a mission to evacuate senior American officials after an explosion near where they were meeting, several officials said. Some officials have questioned the wisdom of evacuating the Americans from a secure compound, saying the area should instead have been locked down."
CarpetbaggerReport: "El Pais, the highest-circulation daily in Spain, today published what it said was the transcript of a private talk between President George W. Bush and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar on February 22, 2003, concerning the coming U.S. invasion of Iraq.
The conversation took place on the President's ranch in Crawford, Texas. The confidential transcript was prepared by Spain's ambassador to the United States, Javier Ruperez, the paper said.
Bush purportedly said he planned to invade Iraq in March 'if there was a United Nations Security Council resolution or not ... We have to get rid of Saddam. We will be in Baghdad at the end of March.'
He said the U.S. takeover would happen without widespread destruction. He observed that he was willing to play bad cop to British Prime Minister Tony Blair's good cop."
Excerpts from the transcript.
We all know for quite some time now that Bush and Blair lied, and that European prime ministers lied. Dutch PM Balkenende knew what was going on and he too lied. Democracy has become a farce.
Comment: "Bush shouldn't be impeached, he should be tried under the Nuremberg standards. Isn't that exactly why there were made? To avoid situations like this."
Azstarnet: "A fire hydrant painted as an American flag has been removed from a dog park after complaints it was disrespectful to let dogs use it for what dogs do."
And that at a time when people are being killed by the thousands just for profit and greed.
And the morons are already preparing their new war:
CommonDreams: "The Senate on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a measure sending another rebuke to Tehran, this one aimed at sending a message to the Islamic regime to end military tactics targeting U.S. forces in Iraq."
Hillary Clinton was one of the yea voters. Shows you how corrupt the whole system is.
