A not-so-warm welcome for Bush: "A recent poll in the popular (left-of-center) Daily Mirror — traditional supporters of Blair — declared that half the country feels Bush is a threat to world peace rather than a help. "

BBC NEWS: "Did we have to go to war for this cause? And you only go to war in a desperate last case scenario. It hadn't reached that point. Iraq was being disarmed day by day. Missiles were being destroyed.
I think historians are going to come to judge this as the greatest mistake by a British prime minister in 50 years. "

BBC NEWS: "This wasn't a victory and there was nothing triumphalistic about it. They were lucky to get out alive. The reporter said it makes your teeth rattle. Well that's what war does; it makes your teeth rattle.
I think the attacks on Al-Jazeera - both verbally and in the end with missiles - were absolutely indefensible. It's entirely right that the Arab world should have its own sources of information. "

BBC NEWS: "No, when I saw the war and I saw the beginning and I saw how the first thing that the United States protected - was what? The Ministry of Oil - the oil fields. Did they protect the people of Iraq? Did they protect the museums which have one of the greatest legacies of our own history? Did they make everything possible so that there wouldn't be a humanitarian catastrophe? Did they do everything in their power so that there was going to be no lawlessness? No - the only thing they were concerned about was the oil ministry and the oil fields. "

Bush Lies to the American People!: "There never was any weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq although Bush said he knew exactly where they were. Thousands of lives were lost because of him. In my opinion he is responsible for loss of thousands of lives and HE HIMSELF is a weapon of mass destruction. I am an American and I love my country dearly. I do not support a President who lies to us and I do not support cold blooded murder and he has done both"

BBC NEWS | Have Your Say | Is Iraq damaging President Bush's popularity?: "His overall popularity does not particularly matter. The hard core of his supporters are the big corporations that gain from his tax cuts, US supremacists, and right-wing Christians that believe that Bill Clinton was the anti-Christ. To them he can do nothing wrong, and they will go out and vote for him whatever happens. Sadly to say, a large part of 'middle America' also believes the media claims that he is 'a popular wartime President'. If ever a US President was hyped, Dubya is the one.

BBC NEWS | Have Your Say | Is Iraq damaging President Bush's popularity?: "Iraq is not damaging Bush's popularity but Bush's popularity is damaging Iraq irretrievably. His inhuman manoeuvres has cost tens of thousands of lives. Yet the people of this country support him without even thinking about the lies that he told us. We are coming to accept aggression, violence, exploitation and imperialism as part of our daily views. Come on we need to think sanely and STOP him

BBC NEWS | Have Your Say | Is Iraq damaging President Bush's popularity?: "George W Bush and Tony Bair opened Pandora's Box in the Middle East, without the support of the United Nations and against the wishes of the international community. Now they are finding out that the consequences of their insane and criminal actions are too costly in lives and dollars, and they want to spread the burden among the international community. But why should the U.N. and the world's population be made to pay for their arrogance and abuse of power? Let the 'coalition forces' reap what they sowed.

Did war compromise al-Qaida hunt?: "BUT, AS “Operation Enduring Freedom” kept al-Qaida on the run, the White House was already planning for war against Iraq. Sources say that in the spring of 2002, key weapons in the war against terror — such as the commandos, the drones and the high-tech surveillance planes — were rotated out of Afghanistan. Now experts tell NBC there was a clear tradeoff as the United States let up on al-Qaida to pursue regime change in Iraq."

Bush takes blame for nuclear claim: "WASHINGTON, July 30 — President Bush on Wednesday accepted personal responsibility for a controversial portion of last winter’s State of the Union address in which he asserted that Saddam Hussein was seeking nuclear material in Africa."

a dangerous quality in the captain, and a

New Arab press freedoms after Iraq?: "As Iraq enters a postwar phase, the U.S. Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) has lauded the country�s newfound press freedom on the one hand, but issued an order entitled �Prohibited Media Activity� on the other.



Order No. 14 was enacted to stop incitement of attacks on coalition forces and Iraqis working with them. But the edict, which, according to the CPA�s Web page, allows �onsite inspections of Iraqi media organizations, without notice,� and the confiscation of their property and closure of their premises without compensation, has some Iraqis fearing that the list of prohibitions could be loosely interpreted and used to crush their long-awaited right to free speech. "

New Arab press freedoms after Iraq?: "In the lead-up to the war in Iraq, the Bush administration asserted that regime change would create a new atmosphere of liberation and democracy for the entire Middle East.
However, Arab satellite stations have recently come under attack from the United States, which says that their coverage from Iraq was biased and incited violence against U.S. troops."

Google Groups: Bekijk thread "I was in the country of WAR CRIMINAL!": "The Americans dwell with the positive because it makes them feel good, but
this has nothing to do with reality. American heroism is only made up by the
media and politics. It is good for the ratings, and what is good for ratings
is good for advertisers, and what is good for advertisers is good the
tv-station: it means more profit, and that is their only reason of
existence. "

Body found in U.K. fuels Iraq row
"THE FAMILY of David Kelly, a soft-spoken microbiologist who had worked as a U.N. weapons inspector, had reported him missing after he went out for a walk on Thursday with no coat despite a heavy rainstorm."
"The ministry said Friday that Kelly had been told he had violated civil service rules by having unauthorized contact with a journalist, but “that was the end of it.” It said Kelly had at no point been threatened with suspension or dismissal after admitting speaking to the BBC reporter."

On Iraq, d�j� vu all over again?: "
If Bush team exaggerated, it had ample precedent
In October 1990, a teenager calling herself 'Nayirah' told lawmakers that she had seen Iraqi soldiers removing Kuwaiti babies from incubators, leaving them 'to die on the cold floor.' After the 1991 Gulf War, the accusations were debunked, and 'Nayirah' turned out to be the daughter of Kuwait's ambassador to the United States."
