Gary >The US now having a lack of leadership, has a guy who wants to be a leader of lackey's. IMO, the boot is on the other foot. It is the lackeys, as you call them, especially the "chickenhawks", who are calling the shots. The leader does as they tell him. They call that "consensus" but what consensus is it when everyone around him is telling him to go to war! >That O'Reilly sounds scary. Actually, when I was able to see him (Fox News is not often broadcast in SA) I found him amusing. He is gung-ho, right wing, fascist and reminded me of the government we used to have here. Of course, one must not forget that Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch who is, himself, right-wing and O'Reilly is playing to his boss and his audience. The people who listen want to hear that stuff. In fact, the more the better. >better not say too much or the CIA will be knocking on my door Who knows? Anything could happen. I can assure you that I scrap many things I wanted to say for fear of upsetting too many Americans on the forum. Of course, I know that anything I say will upset certain people. >words popping into mind now are, Gestapo, Kent State and more Amazing, isn't it, how in a few years the US has lost the "democratic" veneer it once had.

Gary >The rest of the world will not be quite over this The story they tried to hide. fair.org >>>On February 24, Newsweek broke what may be the biggest story of the Iraq crisis. In a revelation that "raises questions about whether the WMD [weapons of mass destruction] stockpiles attributed to Iraq still exist," the magazine's issue dated March 3 reported that the Iraqi weapons chief who defected from the regime in 1995 told U.N. inspectors that Iraq had destroyed its entire stockpile of chemical and biological weapons and banned missiles, as Iraq claims. In the transcript (p. 13), Kamel says bluntly: "All weapons-- biological, chemical, missile, nuclear, were destroyed." The Kamel story is a bombshell that necessitates a thorough reevaluation of U.S. media reporting on Iraq, much of which has taken for granted that the nation retains supplies of prohibited weapons. <<< So much for Saddam's WMD.
