America has fallen prey to Israel's black shadow. It has become the Jewish nation, and broadening pockets of resistance to Jewish-Israeli Neo-Conism flame throughout the Middle East. The American army has become a disguised Israeli one, following all the Jewish state's tactics of brutality and oppression.

We go to Baghdad to speak with independent journalist and author Naomi Klein and we speak with Middle East expert Professor As'ad AbuKhalil. [includes rush transcript] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bush administration is facing a nightmare scenario in Iraq, fighting on two fronts against both Sunni and Shia militants. The center of armed resistance to the U.S.-led occupation has predominantly come from Sunni-dominated areas. But the U.S. occupation entered a new phase this past Sunday as Shiite Iraqis staged an armed uprising against the occupying forces in four cities. A total of at least 50 Iraqis and 10 U.S. troops died Sunday. Hundreds were injured. Up to 30 Iraqis were killed in clashes in the Sadr-City suburb of Baghdad alone, the worst the capital has seen since its fall to U.S. troops a year ago. American officials yesterday announced an arrest warrant for the young Shiite cleric, Moqtada al-Sadr, who called for the uprising after the U.S. forces shut down one of his newspapers and arrested one of his top aides. The new resistance front comes less than three months before the U.S. is due to hand over power to an Iraqi government. Paul Bremer, Iraq's top US administrator, cancelled a visit to Washington to deal with the crisis and military commander, General John Abizaid, was considering the reinforcement of his 105,000-strong army of occupation. The Guardian of London reports that Gen. Abizaid gave 48 hours to come up with ideas on where fresh troops, American or allied, could be found. In the face of two resistance fronts, the U.S. has opted for a high-risk strategy of attempting to crush both of them simultaneously. U.S. forces yesterday used Apache gunships to attack targets in Baghdad for the first time since the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime, opening fire over the Shia neighborhood of Shulla. Meanwhile, a force of some 1,300 US marines and Iraqi troops began moving into the Sunni-dominated town of Fallujah. The town has been sealed off but witnesses speak of shelling and blasts and the use of helicopter gunships. This according to the BBC. The US has vowed to "pacify" Fallujah, after four US mercenaries were killed, torched and dismembered last week. Meanwhile back in Washington, President Bush repeated the White House line saying, "The message to the Iraqi citizens is they don't have to fear that America will turn and run, and that's an important message for them to hear."

"..Oh woe - oh worry - let's all wring our hands along with Carville, Clintwit and the Hollyweird sex pedlars.... It's about time the mopping-up operation for the left-over Saddass-ites and Hammas-kissing psuedoClerics got under way in my opinion. If some wacko raghead is dumb enough to take on an Abrahms, a Bradley, or a Cobra with his cloud-shooting AK-47; give him exactly what he wants - a 1st class ticket to Allah. John :-) ps: I wounder if the whiny, socialist Brit writer does free-lance campaign script for Hillary in his spare time......??? .
