How much friggin evidence does it take to convince the American public that our president's puppet masters will say and do anything to justify a military invasion in the name of access to oil? Not one claim Bush made for the case for war has turned out to be true. And now this. "Saddam Hussein warned his Iraqi supporters to be wary of joining forces with foreign Arab fighters entering Iraq to battle American troops, according to a document found with the former Iraqi leader when he was captured, Bush administration officials said Tuesday. It provides a second piece of evidence challenging the Bush administration contention of close cooperation between Mr. Hussein's government and terrorists from Al Qaeda. C.I.A. interrogators have already elicited from the top Qaeda officials in custody that, before the American-led invasion, Osama bin Laden had rejected entreaties from some of his lieutenants to work jointly with Mr. Hussein." nytimes.com

Mexamerica, here we come, is the title of Pat Buchanan's story below: wnd.com Mexamerica, here we come, Posted: January 14, 2004, © 2004 Creators Syndicate, Inc. Have Americans, one wonders, fully reflected on what the Bush amnesty portends for the country their children will grow up in? ... He is saying: I cannot defend our border. I will not enforce the laws. ... Bush is not only rewarding millions of law-breakers and gate-crashers, he is erasing the border with Mexico. Mexamerica is our future.... Ethnically and racially, this means an America that is no longer a First World country. ... Economically, Bush is throwing American workers – white, black, Asian, Hispanic – into a Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest struggle for jobs with foreigners willing to do sweat-shop labor for wages that cannot sustain an American family. Winners will be the economic elites who will benefit from low prices produced by cheap labor and from having a vast proletariat to do the chores ... Losers will be American workers who have to compete for jobs with folks for whom $5.15 an hour is pay undreamed of back home in the Caribbean, Nigeria or Mexico. Politically, our welfare state will explode. The Bush plan will convert America from the middle-class country we grew up in into a nation with a huge proletariat with a rising claim on our tax dollars for more schools, courts, cops, hospitals, parks, roads and prisons. ...
