Anthrax, chemicals and nerve gas: who is lying?
Growing evidence of deception by Washington

"This is a breach of the highest order, and the American people are entitled to know how it happened," Henry Waxman of California wrote to the President last month. "I believed that you had access to reliable intelligence information that merited deference... The two most obvious explanations – knowing deception or unfathomable incompetence – both have immediate and serious implications."

I'll take his word for all of that.

Please don't. There are ample references to Jerusalem in the Quran, as a two-minute Google search would reveal.

re Gustave - My experience with Gustave suggests it is prudent to check everything he says. See below:

Re: Part of his passage was that Jerusalem is not mentioned of importance in the Koran. I'll take his word for all of that.

My point that this little strip of desert would have no value to anyone if it had not been used as a unifying force by the vast and powerful Arab nations to keep their people focused and them in power.


You missed the point. Algeria too is not mentioned in the Koran, yet, the French were compelled to leave the Algerians alone in 1962 --after more than 130 years of colonial occupation. At least, unlike the Pieds Noirs, Jewish Israelis will be allowed to stick around after the set-up of a Palestinian state endowed with East Jerusalem as its capital.
