POPSEx-worker on Crusade Against Chemical Plant A good article, showing why it is virtually impossible to beat the lies and corruption. To me, the fact that they say they have cleaned things up, means there were problems when they took over. Where is the clause for retrospective situations

POPSPoland Rejects U.S. Missile Shield Offer "But it is also the case that the government greatly raised expectations and that these were never very realistic.

Polish President Lech Kaczynski, a right-wing opponent of the Tusk government and a strong supporter of the shield plan, is now likely to step up his attacks on the government.

Hamid referred to the fact that Obama appeared at the speech with a lapel pin comprised of both the U.S. and Israeli flags. In his speech, Obama’s call for a unified Jerusalem omitted Palestinians’ demands for their share of Jerusalem, which is a sacred city for them too. Like most U.S. citizens, most Iraqis are not familiar with U.S. foreign policy. While Obama, the Democratic presidential hopeful, calls for a shift in the U.S. policy in Iraq, neither he nor his Republican rival, John McCain, talk about changing the National Security Strategy of the U.S., or the military document Joint Vision 2020, which calls for “full spectrum dominance” of the world by the U.S. military by the year 2020. ‘Full spectrum dominance’ means not just total control of land, air, and sea, but also of information and of space. “The U.S. strategy is firm and unchanging,” a political analyst at Diyala University told IPS on condition of anonymity, given widespread fear of U.S. forces. “It makes no di

POPSMugabe threatens to unleash war veterans Watching this man go through the final stages of his life is like watching Nero and other demented leaders completely losing it. A great history lesson for the watchers, who should be doing something to hurry up the next chapter for Zimbabwe.
