He has been using his power at the Bank to vigorously pursue the policies of the zealotous Neocons, the Bush/Cheney crowd, and his many Zionist and Israeli buddies, all of whom conspired to put him in the job in the first place. Right from the start Wolfowitz has in fact been busily manipulating bank policies and funds to overlap with American and Israeli policies far too much and in far too many ways. Mon, 16 Apr 2007 6:54:41 EST http://www.middleeast.org/articles/2007/4/1486.htm Yes very straight talk and harsh words here. Unusual for today's Washington where there is so much hesitancy, so much fear, and so many on one kind of gravy train or another. But after considerable experience, investigation and reflection this is the appropriate and needed talk. For those who think otherwise, and for those who have doubts, let the serious and detailed investigations begin...both in the media and in the Congress. And meanwhile, it's beyond time, far beyond time, for Paul Wolfowitz to go! Sat, 14 Apr 2007 10:36:46 EST http://www.middleeast.org/articles/2007/4/1485.htm The saga of how Wolfowitz manipulated money and rewards for his "girlfriend" is just one relatively small and petty example of the kinds of things Wolfowitz and his cronies have been doing in Washington and in the Middle East for years. Sat, 14 Apr 2007 8:7:19 EST http://www.middleeast.org/articles/2006/8/1480.htm BUSH = CRAP Did You Say? OK, apparently the "Crap" reference had specifically to do with the so-called U.S. "Roadmap" and promises to the Brits and others regarding the disastrous Iraqi War. But you'll pardon us for expanding the context and suggesting it applies quite generally across the board. We think the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, would agree, if he could. Thur, 17 Aug 2006 10:10:3 EST http://www.middleeast.org/articles/2006/8/1479.htm Target Musharraf after years of blackmail? None of us can know for sure -- such things are closely held national secrets that few even in the intelligence services have access to. But there is a great deal of circumstantial 'evidence' that lends considerable possible veracity to what is discussed in this article which is written by an enterprising Pakistani journalist now exiled in Canada. And some years ago there was the demise of another strong-man Pakistani General, Zia al-Haq. Wed, 16 Aug 2006 16:33:32 EST http://www.middleeast.org/articles/2006/8/1478.htm Just look at opinion polls around the world where even ordinary people are asked about the policies of the U.S. and Israel -- never ever so dangerously off the charts. Here is the origin of the disgust, the hatred, and the desire for revenge that is propelling so many to decide that they must themselves find ways to fight, to defend, to revenge. This substantial cover story comes from India, from the well-known magazine Frontline published by The Hindu. Sun, 13 Aug 2006 7:37:4 EST http://www.middleeast.org/articles/2006/8/1477.htm So much for the far-too-late far-too-little Arab Foreign Ministers Summit a few days ago. Even as they pontificated in a 'safe' part of Beirut not far away the Israelis bombed away reducing the Arab States to a rag-tag collection of pathetically weak pseudo- governments and American-sponsored 'client regimes' going through the rituals and crying crocodile tears.

Bush a modern-day Alexander conquering the major cities of the Middle East, one after another." Mon, 7 Aug 2006 20:28:29 EST
