Be warned!!!!

At a recent gala tribute to the "Liberators of Iraq" held in Washington and put on by the Center for Security Policy, the US deputy defence secretary, Paul Wolfowitz cited conclusive evidence that the Sadam Hussein regime in Iraq was hand in glove with the perpetrators of September 11th. The fact that US troops are being killed and wounded proves that there are (and were) terrorists in Iraq.
Moral: If your country gets invaded, don't fight back-otherwise you give a justification for the initial invasion.

A second news item I read this morning quotes a senior Pentagon general as saying "OK, the voters didn't elect Bush but God did, to carry out his purpose to defeat evil".
Moral: Don't bother to vote, its all in God's hands and he knows best.

And some Americans wonder why we're worried.

Your the lucky one Mart

George Bush is coming to Australia and not NZ

He's apparently been told Australia is like Texas

Can't see it myself

What a pity we didn't stick the ANZUS treaty where the sun don't shine like NZ did many years ago

Just as the United nations gave him the silent treatment I think he can expect much of the same from at least half of the Australian Parliament
How preposterous to expect anti-war politicians of which we have many to give a war monger like Bush a standing ovation

Never believe what anyone in political service says out of Washington because they never say anything of any substance

All very well Deuce but Aunty Helen is thought to be sucking up to Dubya in order to get better trade deals.

Btw, I see your government are taking a leaf from the US book and telling East Timor to take a running jump about the very valuable oil fields deal signed with Indonesia shortly after those bastards invaded. Apparently Oz was one of the first countries to "recognize" Indonesia's takeover.

at least she's not in bed with him yet unlike Little Johny

East Timor has been a festering boil in the Pacific for nigh on 25 years
Another 3rd world country with rich assets being exploited by developed nations.Happens far to frequently

Sierre Leone with its Diamonds
Nigeria with its Oil
P.N.G. with any metal you care to name

Countries with rich assets that have poverty levels that defy logic but make sense when you factor in corruption from Locals Authorities and Big Companies/Foreign Governments

Anyone see the program on thursday night about the failed coup in Venezuela a couple of years ago. President Chavez was the first president to come from an ordinary working class family and was apparently loved by the people because his policies were aimed to redistribute the wealth mostly gained from their oil exports (3rd largest oil exporter in the world).

Well, the rich elite didn't like the sound of this, neither did the US regime as the price of a barrel of oil may rise. Working allegedly together, using the private tv channels they broadcast lies. e.g. President Chavez was mentally ill, he was a murderer, his father was a murderer, he's a communist, our country will end up like Cuba under him, his policies don't work etc etc.

Then they orchestrated a march to the oil refinery (Cordona the coup leader), then marched them to the Presidential Palace which was surrounded by thousands of President Chavez supporters. When the two opposing sides met, rooftop snipers shot dead a number of marchers/supporters. People in venezuela carry guns so some supporters shot back. The private tv channels owned and run by the rich only showed edited footage of President Chavez supporters doing the shooting in self defence, and not themselves ducking behind walls to take cover form the snipers in between firing.

To cut a long story short, Cordona managed to convince the people and military Chavez was evil, and with the help of the military took over the country, with ex-president Chavez being flown away to an undisclosed location in custody to face criminal prosecution for crimes against humanity. Cordona was sworn in and repealed all Chavez's policies, the supreme court, ombudsmen etc basically turning the country into a dictatorship...all with US backing and praise. The coup orchestrators then went on tv gloating how they had planned the operation.

But by the second day of the Cordona reign the people had started to learn the truth, the state broadcaster channel 8 signals had stopped being jammed, and they broadcast the true footage of the shooting incident.
Some people then wen't out on the streets protesting for the return of their President Chavez. On the third day, the streets were flooded with people all demanding the return of President Chavez.

No one wanted or liked Cordona, and in the presidential palace the presidential guards turned against Cordona and captured the palace. Chavez's vice president was sworn in as president live on the state broadcaster, who appealed to the military to support him and bring back Chavez, they did, and he was sworn in again as President, and is still President of Venezuela now.

The tv program was made by Irish journalists who were doing a fly-on-the wall programme of Chavez, they filmed everything that happened, both inside and out the presidential palace before/during/after the coup.

Alleged American involvement:
(i) Colin Powell/George Tenet - both broadcasting Chavez a bad man etc.
(ii) State broadcaster was jammed during crucial coup period so they couldn't put out the truth (possible CIA technical support?)
(iii) The captured President Chavez was flew out of the country to an undisclosed location on a plane that was registered in the good old USA.
(iv) Cordona (who incidentally looked like your archetypal columbian drugs barron), flew off to columbia, then settled in miami.
