Bush: US Titanic stays the course towards Victory!

At the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, George Bush stated that he rejected the polls showing that most Americans think the war is a terrible mistake, and are getting convinced the 'Bush Junta' has no clear strategy for witdrawl nor staving off further chaos in Iraq.

FPF update - Dec. 01 - 2005 - In his speech yesterday at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md, US 'president' George W. Bush again asked for more patience concerning the illegal warfare the US with it's bullied and bribed allies in the 'Coalition of the Killing' is committing. Apparently again totally unaware of, and denying reality and facts, a pathetic Bush repeated the usual lies about the US cabal's 'War of Terror', convincing nobody above his own level of understanding. - [http://tinyurl.com/cnazl].

As today the US Dept. of Defense phrases it: "Speaking to the brigade of midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. - Bush assured the group he wants the same thing all Americans want: to see U.S. troops win and to see them come home as soon as possible. "And those are my goals as well," Bush said. "I will settle for nothing less than complete victory."

IRAQ IS THE CENTRAL FRONT

Victory against terrorism is critical around the globe, and "the enemy must be defeated on every battlefield," the president said. - But victory in Iraq is particularly important, he said. "The terrorists have made it clear that Iraq is the central front in their war against humanity," he said, "and so we must recognize Iraq as the central front in the war on terror." [end quote*]

Bush did not refer to the well known fact that the biggest military power on earth, using the worst imaginable anti-human weapons ever, was never threatened by any country, but still Bush's 'spin doctors' had him say: "We fight today because terrorists want to attack our country and kill our citizens, and Iraq is where they are making their stand. So we will fight them there, we will fight them across the world and we will stay in the fight until the fight is won." [ ]

The US cabal's presidential 'front man' against better judgment still doesn't offer a shift of course: "We have a clear path forward,'' he keeps saying, sounding like the SS Titanic's captain, ignoring the icebergs surrounding him on the way to Ragnarøk.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS PEOPLE & AMERICAN AND ALLIED SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN KILLED

Bush said he understands the public concerns about the war in Iraq, but was again forgetting to tell the audience that Saddam Hussein - like Osama bin laden - was an ally of the United States, paid by the CIA for decades, but that was OK: Osama fought the Soviets for the US and Saddam Hussein killed and gassed people for the benefit of the US. And now Saddam Hussein - who has made far less victims than Bush - has been bombed into a jailed scapegoat, while we are not supposed to know about all US and other western firms which delivered the deadly weapons to Iraq - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/5afvh

THE PRICE IS WORTH IT...

One wonders: do they not want to see and know about the destruction and misery?

Day and night the global crime against humanity goes on, in an infernal American-made Holocaust which has killed many thousands of their own American people, and many allied soldiers in Iraq; costing hundreds of $billions and since years resulting in inhuman suffering by the living and wounded. Plus the lives of much more than 100,000 innocent Iraqi men and women which - according to the International Red Cross, Amnesty International and many other human rights groups - already mourned more than half a million Iraqi children, ten years ago... - [http://tinyurl.com/dneux]

WORLD TRIBUNAL ON IRAQ: BUSH AND BLAIR c.s. ARE GUILTY!

The little of which is left of 'security' for the rest of us people on the globe, was investigated by the World Tribunal on Iraq - [http://tinyurl.com/c6s7x] - set up like the british philosopher Bertrand Russell's Vietnam War Tribunals. After years of thorough investigation and with a plethora of reasons solidified by evidence, the Iraq War Tribunal in a final meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, reached a verdict, based on international law and conventions, sharply condemning the U.S. and Britain with their collaborating allies because of the illegality of the wars and their daily crimes against humanity.

BY MANY AND EXPLICITLY, THE LEGAL RIGHT WAS RECOGNIZED OF THE IRAQIS TO RESIST THE ILLEGAL INVASION AND GENOCIDAL WAR; A RIGHT PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ON THE GLOBE HAVE - AND WHICH THEY CAN AND SHOULD USE.

Outside of the American neocon's media bubble and it's deceptive influence, in the 190 countries surrounding the United States - with the exception of a few criminal governments - many people always listen to what Bush and other US warmongers say about 'terror': but mentally and rightfully most use the phrase 'American terror'. The world 'outside' doesn't at all want to attack 'the bully on the block', but the rest of the world daily sees and many suffer the American neocon's 'War of Terror': killing and stealing to reconfigure the energy and other economical needs of the US.

SUCH A FESTERING GLOBAL WOUND WILL NOT HEAL

The very day the present American neocon regime understands that this is the way people outside the US regard the course the US' cabal has forced upon the 'US Titanic', than they'll understand too maybe, that the horrible wound they have inflicted on the United States' citizens and some allies too: that such a festering global wound will not heal for generations to come.

American writer Rivers Pitt: "No weapons of mass destruction, and no connections to al Qaeda ever found. Hundreds of $billions of taxpayer money spent to enable this mess, and nobody feels safer. An Iraqi government as close to democracy as the Earth is to the Oort Cloud. An American government thoroughly discredited on an international stage still rife with dangers to American security.

"Total failure" and "ruined credibility" are the watchwords for the day. A process that never should have begun in the first place, a process which had nothing to do with defending the United States, has led us to a place where every 'goal' put forth by the Bush administration, no matter how stupid or simple, has turned to ash. This is the great gift Mr. Bush has delivered to us: A midnight deal, a washing of hands, and a quick exit out the back door. Honor and integrity indeed."

TURNED TO ASH

But in Annapolis Bush in his speech as usual parroted his 'spinmeisters': "Our strategy in Iraq is clear," he said. "Our tactics are flexible and dynamic. We have changed them as conditions required, and they are bringing us victory against a brutal enemy." [ ]

What the Junta's captain of the 'US Titanic' has not understood, is the fact that it's better to lose an anchor than the whole ship.

Australia, UK hushed up killing 5 journalists

Sidney Morning Herald

November 30, 2005 - The Australian and British governments colluded to cover up the killing of five Australian-based journalists in East Timor in 1975, new documents reveal.

Five television journalists - Greg Shackleton, Gary Cunningham and Tony Stewart of the Seven Network, and Malcolm Rennie and Brian Peters of the Nine Network - were killed while covering Indonesia's invasion of East Timor.

Official reports say the men, known as the Balibo Five, were killed in crossfire, but an inquest in Australia next year will examine the long-held theory that they were murdered by Indonesian forces.

British Foreign Office documents, including communiques from Jakarta to Downing Street, have been obtained by relatives of those killed and have been published in The Times in London.

They openly discuss collusion with the Australian government to cover up the true story behind their deaths.

"We have suggested to the Australians that, since we in fact know what happened to the newsmen, it is pointless to go on demanding information from the Indonesians which they cannot or are unwilling to provide," then British ambassador Sir John Ford said.

"Since no protests will produce the journalists' bodies, I think we should ourselves avoid representations about them.

"They were in the war zone of their own choice."

By the time East Timor regained independence in 1999, an estimated 200,000 people had been killed during the Indonesian occupation.

The British government communiques showed a deliberate policy to play down Indonesian atrocities while chairing the United Nations Security Council.

"Timor was high on (US Secretary of State) Henry Kissinger's list of places where the US do not want to comment or get involved," Ford wrote in a communique in late 1975.

"I am sure we should continue to follow the American example.

"Once the Indonesians had established themselves in Dili, they went on a rampage of looting and killing.

"If asked to comment on any stories of atrocities I suggest we say that we have no information."

The families of the Balibo Five are pushing to have more Foreign Office documents released for the Australian inquiry.

Liberal Democrat MP Don Foster will table parliamentary questions next week to try to discover the extent of British government knowledge of the fate of the Balibo Five.

"There is clear evidence that the British government was complicit in a cover-up of the facts of the death of British journalists," Foster said.
