Dubya snubs the Norwegian Prime Minister.
Hey dubya: "Spis Mei!"
Singapore bans political blogs and other political-themes online discussions.
Dubya must be jealous.
Not every Republican goes crazy at the sight of a Mexican flag. The exception? Jeb Bush, of all people.
His 2002 re-election campaign features a TV spot with numerous flags Latin American flags and a message of inclusion.
Great comparison of Dubya's recent statements (lies) with what has come to light via the Downing Street memos.
Lists his lies, with supporting sources.
Report shows that Dubya and Blair suspected that Iraq had no WMDs, but that they didn't really give a damn. They were going to invade, even if they had to provoke an attack.
Then they walked out to the media and lied about it.
Essay on how Republican policies have weakened national security, using recent events in North Korea and Afghanistan as examples.
Australia gives Condi Rice a warm welcome. As she makes the same lame excuses for Iraq, protestors cry out "War Criminal!"
British envoy John Sawers assessed U.S. occupation forces in Iraq back in mid-2003. His summary?
"No leadership, no strategy, no coordination, no structure and inaccessible to ordinary Iraqis."
He also provides a lengthy list of exactly where the US has screwed things up.
Concise run-down of everything that's going wrong for the Republicans, including: approval ratings, the budget, the economy, energy costs, Katrina, Medicare, Homeland security, illegal domestic spying, Iraq, and terrorism and lack of stability in the Middle East.
Whew! Is there anything they haven't screwed up?
The US is aligning itself with other repressive regimes voting to deny United Nations consultative status to organizations working to protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) folks. The homophobic initiative was introduced by Iran.
Israel's domestic security head points out that having Saddam in charge in Iraq may have been better than the reigning chaos.
More information comes to light about the US handing off terror suspects to other countries for torture in secret detention centers in Europe.
Under a recent law, Russia is trying to shut down the Russian Human Rights Research Centre, one of the country's oldest human rights groups.
The new law requires non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to report activities and finances to the government.
Betcha Dubya would love to do this in the US.
So the US is maintaining secret torture prisons in other countries. Who leaked the information? A Republican Senator!
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is demanding access to US secret prisons maintained in other countries.
The CIA maintains secret prisons in other countries. They decline to answer Congressional questions about conditions there. But I'm sure they follow the Geneva convention and all. (After all, even the President isn't above the law, right Attorney General Gonzales?)
