NYT ED "Consumed by a possible war with Iraq, Congress is ignoring several urgent domestic priorities. The federal budget is slipping further into the red...Budget battles are as inevitable as elections. But this year the framework is defined by a widespread refusal in Washington to accept the obvious. The United States cannot wage a war, cut taxes and pay for the programs that Americans want without throwing the federal budget into deeper deficit." 09.23.02 www.bushwatch.com

PILGER "The pro-Israel lobby intimidates journalists to ensure that most coverage remains biased in its favour. " 09.23.02 www.bushwatch.com
HA'ARETZ ""The explanation that the government is giving for the decision to demolish the Muqata - the Palestinian Authority official compound in Ramallah - and to isolate Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat in the wake of the murderous terror attacks last week is unconvincing, and it involves the government in contradictions. " 09.23.02 www.bushwatch.com
ANDERSON "We are a long way from even a distant prospect of peace. In the interim, threats abound, though in the very midst of tragedy there is farce. The lengths to which the Israelis will go to blast Yasser Arafat's house around him while not actually killing him is the theatre of the absurd enacted with tank rounds. But there could easily be an error. The whole area is beset by error and by terror. So it will continue." 09.23.02 www.bushwatch.com
NYT "Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and his coalition partner, the Greens, held off conservative rivals in Sunday's elections, but with a tiny majority. " 09.23.02 www.bushwatch.com
SCHECHTER For Those Who Might Be Doubtful, Bush's Name Tag At Meetings Reads "The President." 09.23.02 www.bushwatch.com
GREIDER "I don't believe in empire. I think it always fails due to its own internal arrogance and blindness. I think the further we go down this road the more difficult it's going to be to turn it around. And the more dangerous it's going to be for us as Americans. So I would urge people to not just tolerate dissent, but to open their own thoughts to, "Is this really what we had in mind once we got the Cold War over?" I don't think that's what Americans want. I really don't. " 09.23.02 www.bushwatch.com
CG "I cannot believe the gall and the arrogance of the White House in requesting such a broad grant of war powers," Byrd said. "This is the worst kind of election-year politics." 09.23.02 www.bushwatch.com |
