Stop America and Israel

So Iran tested a long-range missile, its range is 1,250 miles and carries a ton of conventional warhead---that is that. Iran lives under threat from America and Israel, countries have 10s of thousands ICB missiles carries conventional and nuclear warhead armed with chemical and biological weapons. America is the only rogue nation who used a nuclear bomb on its “enemy” killing 100s of thousands of people in Japan! Yet America is bulling Iran in every opportunity threatening to obliterate the peaceful country. Iran never threaten or invaded a country at any time, the country was always a victim of aggression by Taliban of Afghanistan when in power and under Saddam by Iraq for eight bloody years. The statement made by a Whiteman’s slave woman Condoleezza (condominium) Rice: "Those who say that there is no Iranian missile threat against which we should build a missile defense system perhaps ought to talk to the Iranians about their claims," is one example of American slander...

MPs accuse Washington of lying over rendition flights - UK Politics, UK - The Independent

MPs accuse Washington of lying over rendition flights - UK Politics, UK - The Independent : "MPs are to launch an investigation into US activities on Diego Garcia after accusing Washington of lying about extraordinary rendition flights from the British-controlled island in the Indian Ocean. They described false assurances given by the US about its use of Diego Garcia for the controversial flights as 'deplorable'. Following one of the strongest British condemnations of the US rendition policy, by which terror suspects are sent overseas for interrogation, the influential Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC) plans to scrutinise Whitehall's supervision of US activities on Diego Garcia, including all flights and ships serviced from there. The Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, was forced to apologise to the Commons in February after it was revealed that two US 'extraordinary rendition' flights had landed on UK territory in 2002. Britain had previously been told that no s...

: Information Clearing House - ICH : "07/07/08 'ICH' -- -- While George Bush was busy railing at Zimbabwe's President, Robert Mugabe at the G-8 summit in Toyako, Japan; his Ethiopian proxy-army in Somalia was grinding out more carnage on the streets of Mogadishu. More than 40 civilians have been killed in the last 48 hours. On Sunday, Osman Ali Ahmed, the head of the UN Development Program in Somalia, was shot gangland style as he left a mosque Mogadishu. He died before he reached the hospital with wounds to the head and chest. Ali Ahmed is just the latest of the peace-keepers who have been killed in the ongoing battle between Bush's Ethiopian occupiers and Somali guerrillas. 'I care deeply about the people of Zimbabwe,' Bush announced. 'And I am extremely disappointed in the election which I labeled a sham election.' Right. Bush's newly-discovered empathy for black people was nowhere in sight during Hurricane Katrina when thousands of Afric...

It came a day after Iraq's prime minister first said publicly that he expects the pending troop deal with the United States to have some type of timetable for withdrawal. President Bush has said he opposes a timetable. The White House said Monday it did not believe al-Maliki was proposing a rigid timeline for U.S. troop withdrawals. U.S. officials had no immediate comment Tuesday on al-Rubaie's statement. Al-Rubaie spoke to reporters after briefing Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in Najaf on the progress of the government's security efforts, and the talks. "O...
