"Let's Make a Deal" Confirmation of previous blogs :: from www.uruknet.info :: news from occupied Iraq - it: " An interesting article appeared regarding Putin, Cheney, Iraq and its oil. I'll link to it, first, then, a few qualifications about it. I would agree with this, except, there are a couple of problems with this analysis.

Lawrence E. Walsh, the independent counsel in the Iran-Contra investigation, knew Gates was lying about his collaboration with fellow criminal, now respected Fox News talking head, Oliver North, the guy who wanted to suspend the Constitution and throw demonstrators in gulags under Rex-84.

On Sunday in Addis, we heard Tilahun was sick with "some burning" and was being rushed to a hospital when in the midst of all the chaos came in the news of his sudden death," Abebe said. "I wonder if there could be another Ethiopian who would live up to
