Bush's Damage to Rule of Law
2007-06-22 19:52:00
Never before in the US history I'm aware of, has been rule of law so undermined by a President. Clearly, Bush and Cheney believe the President and Executive branch is above the law. Here is a must read editorial from the New York Times. President Bush is notorious for issuing statements taking exception to hundreds of bills as he signs them. This week, we learned that in a shocking number of cases, the Bush administration has refused to enact those laws. Congress should use its powers to insist that its laws are obeyed. The Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan arm of Congress, investigated 19 provisions to which Mr. Bush objected. It found that six of them, or nearly a third, have not been implemented as the law requires. The G.A.O. did not investigate some of the most infamous signing statements, like the challenge to a ban on torture. But the ones it looked into are disturbing enough. In one case, Congress directed the Pentagon in its 2007 budget request to account ...

Osama Bin Laden To Be 'Honoured'
2007-06-21 19:58:00
The Bush Administrations relationship with Pakistan is symptomatic of their lack of contact with reality. Pakistan is called an "ally in the war on terror" while it harbors, arms, trains and recruits for our enemies in Afghanistan and India's enemies in Kashmir. It has exported illicit nuclear technologies to rogue regimes while building it's own bomb. Now, it's religious leaders honor Osama bin Ladin as "Sword of God" - for "serving Muslims by waging jihad against infidels". Meanwhile, Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq, Pakistan's religious affairs minister, Musharraf hand picked man, says he's never heard of this group. After stating the Knighting of Rushdie justifies suicide attacks, he back tracks and will instead visit Britain to counsel Muslim clerics on religious tolerance. Musharraf is his own man. He has given Bush little more than lip service. And Bush has no choice but to help him cover up his own behavior and obvious intentions. Musharraf is no ally. The only effective action ...

Iraq Conflict Looking Like a Religious War
2007-06-21 17:03:00
Yesterday Juan Cole in Informed Comment gave a good decription of the religious undertones of the violence in Iraq between Shia and Sunni. There is a bizarre convergence of apoloclyptic thought among the Shia and Christian fundamentalists who want to see the Middle East conflict as a sign of the coming end of the world. On Tuesday, a huge truck bomb in Baghdad blew up a Shiite mosque dedicated to an important religious figure and killed 87 persons, wounding 214. This site was dedicated to Muhammad bin Uthman bin Sa`id al-`Amri, the second of at least four Deputies (wakil) who Shiites believe acted as intermediaries between the Hidden Twelfth Imam and believers during his first or "minor" Disappearance. Shiites believe that the Prophet Muhammad should have been succeeded by his close family and descendants. The 12th Imam, a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, they say, went into hiding as a small child in 874 AD after the death of his father, Hasan al-Askari, who had been pu...

Hypocrisy, Democracy, War and Peace
2007-06-20 15:41:00
Here is an excerpt of a dinner keynote address by Gareth Evans, President, International Crisis Group, to Harvard University Weatherhead Center for International Affairs Conference on Democracy in Contemporary Global Politics, Talloires, France, 16 June 2007. The topic is about the wisdom promoting democratic government vs human rights. International Crisis Group It is interesting to ponder just which of our sins it is that ? in the league tables of most admired professions ? puts politicians down there with used car salesmen and child molesters. I don't think it is any of the familiar seven deadlies: we know from recent US history that electorates can live with lust, and ? if my experience in Australia even begins to match that elsewhere ? gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride don?t seem to be show-stoppers either. My own judgment, for what it's worth, is what people most associate with politicians as a class, and most hate about them as a result, is hypocrisy, and all...

Iraq: US Arming Sunni Insurgents
2007-06-19 15:32:00
It's been apparent since the beginning that the US got into Iraq on the wrong side of it's interests. Somehow belatedly, the Bush Administration seems to becoming aware of this and is shifting it's alliances. Now, in some strange deparate move, the US is arming the Sunni insurgency. All they have to do and swear off any alliance with Al Qaeda. Needless to say, the Shia and Kurds are screaming! washingtonpost.com Shiite and Kurdish officials expressed deep reservations on Sunday about the new U.S. military strategy of partnering with Sunni Arab groups to help defeat the militant organization al-Qaeda in Iraq. "They are trusting terrorists," said Ali al-Adeeb, a prominent Shiite lawmaker who was among many to question the loyalty of the Sunni groups. "They are trusting people who have previously attacked American forces and innocent people. They are trusting people who are loyal to the regime of Saddam Hussein." Throughout Iraq, a growing number of Sunni groups profess to have ...

Prospects of Turkey Invading Iraq
2007-06-18 15:49:00
Joshua Partlow's article in the Washington Post this Sunday while it does review the recent history of border incidents between Turk ey and the Turkish Kurd rebel group PKK, he misses completely the Turkish perspective. Juan Cole, in his blog Informed Comment, outlines what he over-looked about public opinion in Turkey. the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq will certainly annex Kirkuk later this year, and that there may be as a result clashes between the Kurds and the Turkmen minority. Iraqi Turkmen, some 800,000 strong, have been adopted by the Turks of Turkey as sort of little brothers. I can't imagine the Turkish public standing for a massacre of Turkmen, and hundreds of thousands of people in the street could force Buyukanit to act decisively. My colleagues universally agreed that the potential was there for an escalation of the crisis under such conditions. No one said I was exaggerating the risks. One former official who is an expatriate said that before he arrived in A...

Protect Free Speech
2007-06-14 19:31:00
Incredibly, the FCC is considering locking up the final market place of ideas that drives our great democracy. With conservative corporations controlling all of our news media, giving them the final frontier of freedom, the Internet, to lock down to serve their own interests. This is unconscionable. You have two days to speak out. ACT NOW! Big corporate communication companies, AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast are petitioning the FCC to allow control of the Internet. They think companies that can afford to pay steep fees should be able to travel in the ?fast lane? on the Internet. Those who can?t afford those steep fees will be stuck in the slow lane ? from blogs and non-profits to small business and campaigns ? most of us will suffer in an internet traffic jam. If the FCC won?t protect Net Neutrality now, our right to free speech will be impinged and the Internet as we know it will cease to exist. The FCC is accepting public comments until June 15 ? just 2 more days. Email the ...

Turkey Sees Many Incentives to Invade Iraqi Kurdistan, Few Deterents
2007-06-13 20:27:00
The final straw to invade Iraq i Kurdistan may have already been broken. Recent attacks by the PKK on targets in Turkey near the Iraqi border come in the context of a election campaign that threatens to unseat the moderate Islamic Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Dar Al Hayat Turkey fought a bitter war against the PKK from 1984 to 1999 which resulted in 35,000 dead and the displacement of some 2 million. On both sides, memories of this war are very fresh, and there is great reluctance to see it break out again. The argument on the Turkish side is that a decisive campaign against the PKK is the best way to prevent its recurrence. What seems certain, however, is that a Turkish assault on northern Iraq would deal a serious blow to Turkey's already frayed relations with the United States, further destabilize the fragile American-backed government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Baghdad, and possibly put Turkey's own economic growth at risk. On the other hand, a war against ...

PM aides fear talks with Syria could harm U.S. ties
2007-06-07 16:47:00
Amid reports of a Syria n and Israeli military build up on their shared border, both countries are making peacemaking jestures as well. Apparently, the Israelis have decided that either there will be a peace settlement or there will be war with Syria. The Cabinet met a day after the military staged war games, including a simulated attack on a Syrian village and another that simulated a surprise attack by Syrian commandos on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israeli media has reported a Syrian troop and missile build-up along its borders. "The Syrians are making very concrete preparations but these are defensive," Major General Amos Yadlin, Israel's military intelligence chief, told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday. "They are preparing more for a war than they have done before, but that does not mean they will be ready tomorrow." Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's advisors have warned him that the Bush Administration might not look kindly on peace talks now that an UN...

Sunni/Sadr Alliance Pass Binding Resolution to End US Occupation
2007-06-06 15:38:00
An alliance of Sunni and Shia legislators in the Iraq i government passed a binding resolution that if signed by Malaki will require the government to come back to the legislature before 2008 to get authorization to renew the UN Mandate that allows the US occupation of Iraq. As Nassar al Rubaie, the head of Al-Sadr bloc in Iraq's Council of Representatives explains it, This new binding resolution will prevent the government from renewing the U.N. mandate without the parliament's permission. They'll need to come back to us by the end of the year, and we will definitely refuse to extend the U.N. mandate without conditions.... There will be no such a thing as a blank check for renewing the U.N. mandate anymore, any renewal will be attached to a timetable for a complete withdrawal." Malaki is expected to veto the resolution. Contrary to US disinformation campaigns that insisted that Moqtada al-Sadr was hiding in Iran, he was in fact building his coalition with the Sunnis and negoti...

Turkey Shelling Kurdish Iraq
2007-06-05 16:23:00
Turkish paramilitary police are the target of a suicide bomber. Turkey strikes back with bringing tanks to the border and shelling Kurdish positions in Iraq . Al Jazeera English At least eight Turkish paramilitary police have been killed after Kurdish fighters attacked their headquarters in eastern Turkey, security sources say. Monday's attack, blamed on the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), came amid speculation that Turkey may send troops into neighbouring Iraq to attack Kurdish separatists based there. The US has pleaded for Turkey to avoid military action. Three people thought to belong to the PKK drove into the gendarmerie complex in the eastern province of Tunceli, opened fire and threw a grenade, killing eight and wounding six more. One fighter was also killed, the security sources said. The gendarmerie is a paramilitary force responsible for security in rural areas of Turkey. Everyone wants to know if Turkey will invade Iraq. The answer is embedded in this article. T...

The News Americans Never See: Iraq is Near Collapse
2007-06-04 16:45:00
The hype you hear from Washington via mainstream media is just propaganda these days. Iraq is near collapse. The federal government in fact only governs the US guarded and walled "green zone" and very little more. Update: US Military says 3/4 of Baghdad out of control. The Daily Star Iraq's government has lost control of vast areas to powerful local factions and the country is on the verge of collapse and fragmentation, a leading British think tank said on Thursday. Chatham House also said there was not one civil war in Iraq, but "several civil wars" between rival communities, and accused Iraq's main neighbors - Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey - of having reasons "for seeing the instability there continue." [..]"It can be argued that Iraq is on the verge of being a failed state which faces the distinct possibility of collapse and fragmentation," the group's report said. "The Iraqi government is not able to exert authority evenly or effectively over the country. Across huge s...

Tension increasing on the border between Turkey and Iraq
2007-06-02 05:51:00
Tensions are rising in and around Iraq . Mosul, Kirkuk and Baghdad, large cities in Iraq, are seeing daily ethnic cleansing. Basra is in virtual anarchy with the Brits packing to leave and hunkered down while the Madhi Army and Badr Corps fight for supremacy. Saudi Arabia is funding and arming the Sunni insurgency with the tacit approval of the Bush Administration, while the US Military engages them. Turkey , concerned about chaos in Iraq and it's border with it and terrorism in it's Kurdish minority is building troops on the border and announced it's intention to do hot pursuit of PKK fighters across the Iraqi border. An incursion into Iraq by Turkey is just a matter of time. Al Jazeera Turkish troops have killed two Kurdish fighters in clashes in the southeast overnight, the regional governor's office said, bringing the number killed this week to at least 16. The separatists, meanwhile, attacked a Turkish military vehicle near the border with Iraq on Friday, injuring eight s...

Serbia Turning Away From Europe, Toward Russia
2007-05-31 20:06:00
Russia is moving quickly to consolidate it's gains in view of the power vacuum created by the US bogged down in Iraq. Central Asia has drift back towards Russia. Russia has felt strong enough to rein in Belarus and will do the same with Ukraine if given a chance. Serbia Nationalists have always felt an ethnic tie to Russia. The current shared government that includes pro-Europe an and pro-nationalist politicians is unlikely to continue it's flirtation with joining the EU. To maintain a stable government, it will have to steer a course away from Europe and towards Russia. Russia in turn is supporting Serbia's ambition to hold onto it's last predominantly Muslim/Albanian province Kosovo. International Crisis Group Serbia finally has a new government but one that is deeply divided between pro-Western and nationalist forces. Facing two difficult issues ? Kosovo status and cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) ? its choice is between...
