Jack Dalton: The "Illusion" of Two "Parties" 

A stroke of the pen makes it final: President Bush signed into law the
Iraq war supplemental, which includes a controversial provision giving
the secretary of homeland security the power to waive all law when
securing U.S. borders. Now here's the kicker-when the Senate votes were
tallied up, the supplemental and all the tucked away provisions like the
one above, the vote was unanimous--100 to 0

American Hypocrisy At Work: Did Newsweek Damage America's Image?: 

Let me make sure I heard that correctly . . . . "The image of the United
States abroad has been damaged."

A Reputation in Tatters: 

George W. Bush and his gang of neocon warmongers have destroyed
America's reputation. The only way to restore America's reputation would
be to impeach and convict President Bush for intentionally deceiving
Congress and the American people in order to start a war of aggression
against a country that posed no threat to the US. America can redeem
itself only by holding Bush accountable.

How the oil-for-food programme was exploited: 

US government turned a blind eye as Bayoil, a Texas oil company,
imported Iraqi oil and paid $37m of kickbacks to the Saddam regime.
Also, as a member of the Security Council, Washington did nothing to
prevent Saddam sellling oil worth a claimed $8bn, to Jordan, Syria,
Egypt and Turkey, in violation of sanctions.

The Bayoil Indictment -- the Real Scandal: 

The neo-con team is brazenly acting as if Saddam did something wrong in
selling Iraqi oil in violation of the United Nations embargo that we
insisted by kept on for a dozen years after the 1991 Gulf War. The U.N.
resolution did not prohibit Baghdad's sale of oil!!! It prohibited its
purchase by U.N. members.
