Iraqi PM Breaks With U.S. And Criticizes Israeli Agression
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has broken with the Bush administration and denounced what he called the Israeli aggression.
Report: Israel Weighing Ground Invasion
The British newspaper Guardian has reported The Bush administration has given Israel a window of a week to inflict maximum damage on Hizbullah before it will consider a ceasefire. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Israel is weighing a ground invasion of South Lebanon. Some Israeli military experts are now saying the air war has been insufficient and that a ground war will be needed to dislodge Hezbollah. Israel.s Defense Minister Amir Peretz said the attack on Lebanon would continue "without letup and time limit."
Israel Drops 23 Tons Of Bombs On Suspected Hezbollah Bunker
Last night Israeli warplanes attacked what the military described as a bunker in Beirut used by senior members of Hezbollah. 23 tons of explosives were dropped on the site. In a statement that aired on Al Manar, Hezbollah said none of its leaders were killed and that the site was actually a mosque under construction.
Death Toll in Lebanon Reaches 330; 500,000 Displaced

One in every eight Lebanese residents has been forced to flee their homes . and the refugee situation is expected to worsen. The Israeli military is broadcasting radio messages in South Lebanon ordering all civilians to leave the region. The Israeli military has also warned it will bomb any truck driven in the area.
UN: Israel and Hezbollah May Be Committing War Crimes
While the U.S. has fully backed what Israel is calling Operation Just Reward, criticism of the war is growing in the international community.

UN: Children Account for One-Third of Casualties
Over the past nine days, 10 times as many Lebanese have died as Israelis. The United Nations' emergency relief coordinator, Jan Egeland, said that neither Israeli nor Hezbollah seemed to care about civilian suffering. He estimated that nearly a third of the dead or wounded were children. He warned that many of the wounded could not be helped because roads and bridges had been cut by Israeli air strikes. The International Committee of the Red Cross also criticized Israel for killing so many civilians and for destroying much of Lebanon.s public infrastructure.
Questions Raised Over U.S. Evacuation Efforts
Thousands of foreigners continue to evacuate Lebanon. The United States is being widely criticized for being too slow to help Americans leave. A report on the American Prospect website indicates that the Bush administration might have purposely delayed evacuating Americans for diplomatic reasons. The report claims that the State Department has been reluctant to create an impression that the Israeli assault on Lebanon is as bad as it is or that civilian U.S. citizens are being threatened by Israel. Earlier today U.S. Marines landed in Lebanon for the first time in 22 years to help in the evacuation. On Wednesday, U.S. Brigadier General Carl Jensen discussed the evacuation plans.
Brig. Gen. Carl Jensen: "There is still much to do but, as far as I'm concerned, this operation cannot move fast enough. I've been asked before 'how fast should this be going?' or 'is it going fast enough?' and the real answer is it can never go fast enough until the job is absolutely complete."
More Arrests Made in Mossad Spy Operation Inside Lebanon
Meanwhile 20 people have reportedly been arrested by Lebanese security forces for spying for Israel and for aiding Israel.s air assault. Last month the Lebanese Army uncovered an Israeli spy cell inside Lebanon that admitted to assassinating members of Hezbollah and other militants on behalf of Mossad. All of the killings occurred inside Lebanon.
Israel Steps Up Attacks in Gaza
The Israeli military has also stepped up its attacks in Gaza. On Wednesday 30 israeli military vehicles moved into the Maghazi refugee camp. At least 13 Palestinians were killed in Gaza and the West Bank.

England local elections – who voted? come on then
who voted?
i got to the polling station 10 minutes before it closed and 15% had turned uout :surprised
The four candidates here ranged from uninspiring, at best, to moronic, at worst.
Every candidate pledged to introduce a 20 MPH speed limit to a road where no car ever reaches more than 3 MPH and pollution is some of the worst in the country.
How about a tram-way?
Oh, go back to sleep, 'your' government is in control.
we had a green candidate, who I voted for, being a lifelong supporter of the green movement an a believer in the need for sustainable living
i met him while he was out leafletting... he couldn't even hold a proper conversation with me.. a lifelong supporter of the movement / party...:rant:
how can he pursuade others? where's the radical thinking? the community engagement?

"One question many viewers ask is, why was America and the rest of the world not shown the video footage and the photographs of the Pentagon, BEFORE the outer wall had collapsed? Many people do not realize that the outer wall of the Pentagon did not collapse until 20 minutes after the initial impact of what we were told was a Boeing 757."

911 in Plane Site (2004)
"I have seen a lot of movies on the 9-11 cover up. however, this one probably sums up the endless proof the best. Also I do believe that Van Kliest was the first person to notice the pod and the missile flash before the planes hit the tower. Good call man. sometimes the best place to hide something is right in front of your face! Just one quick comment on the flashes. It is absolutely irrefutable that the flash happens before the first plane hits. The second one is controversial. However, if the flash really is the fuselage sparking off the tower wouldn't the wings also spark????? When you view the footage the rest of the plane goes in without any flash.
Don't listen to these people that are saying this movie is terrible. They are in denial. Take the red pill and do some research. "

Orwell Rolls in His Grave (2003)
"I've known of this documentary for a while now and even tried to see it before the last presidential election. It is indeed scary. It brings together disparate stories and facts of the last 25 years tying them together in a coherent pattern that is downright ugly! I was especially impressed by the filmmakers focus on one of the biggest unreported stories of the last quarter of the 20th Century - that being how the Reagan cabal manipulated the 1980 election in order to win it and then paid off one of the members of the nascent "axis of evil" for their cooperation. This all culminated in the Iran/Contra scandal for which only one person took the fall, too bad he didn't (and still doesn't) have the honor and integrity to expose this treasonous story. Find this movie and show it to your friends."
