Human Shields (12/26)Iraq reports it will soon receive the first batch of foreign volunteers ready to act as human shields in case of a US attack.
After the bombing, the captured survivors will certainly be called terrorists and sent to Guantanamo Bay by the U.S. There they will join 'terrorists' like themselves; those who are now being held in Guantanamo are not terrorists but prisoners of war captured on the battlefield. They are bound in fate to those Russian prisoners of war who were sent to concentration camps instead of to POW camps by the Germans.

Iraq Invites CIA to Join Arms Teams
US Rejects Iraqi Offer to Send in CIA Agents

It was an excellent Iraqi move but too damn late. Didn't they know that those who fight for life don't fight first to save their pride? What remains for them to do? If only they could get rid of their oil fields!...

Generals fear 'risky' strategy (excerpt)
From Tim Reid in Washington
<...>General Shinseki and General Jones, members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are questioning the claims by Mr Rumsfeld and Mr Wolfowitz that Saddam's regime will fall quickly in the event of an invasion. The greatest fear among military planners is that Saddam will withdraw his elite Republican Guard into the Iraqi capital, forcing US troops to engage in street-to-street fighting.
I think that if Saddam withdraws his Republican Guard into Baghdad it will be a gift for the "chickenhawks" because it will eliminate any need for battle; finishing Baghdad with a nuke will be the easiest solution. Baghdad is one of the oldest cities in the world -- it's lasted too long for the NWO. Other useless jewels may follow Baghdad's farewell until the world is transformed into one mega-industrial zone -- of weapon production lines of course.

N. Korea paper: 'Burning hatred' for U.S.
SEOUL, South Korea -- Amid a row over its nuclear weapons program, North Korea's ruling party newspaper has fired a barb at Washington, saying the country is ready to deliver "bitter defeat and death" to a threatening United States.<...>
"The DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] remains unfazed as it has made full preparations to cope with the confrontation and clash with the Yankees," a commentary in the ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun said.
"The army and people of the DPRK with burning hatred for the Yankees are in full readiness to fight a death-defying battle," the commentary said, carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency. <....>
In a telephone conversation on Friday, President Bush and South Korean President Kim Dae Jung agreed Friday that while North Korea's decision was regrettable and unacceptable, they would work with Japan and others to resolve the situation peacefully.

We'll use nuclear arms, US warns
By Marian Wilkinson, Herald Correspondent in Washington and agencies (excerpt)
December 12 2002
The Bush Administration has dramatically raised tensions in the Iraq crisis by stating that it would respond with nuclear weapons against any country that used weapons of mass destruction against the US or its allies.
Goering declared ... Who is a Jew -- I decide.
Bush declares -- Who is a dangerous enemy -- I decide.
North Korea proposed a nonagression pact that the U.S. rejected. Who would make a pact with such a tiny partner? Since Bush considers anybody who doesn't join his war plans an enemy, maybe the U.S. should make a non-aggression pact with the whole world. But it seems that war for the sake of war is the real driving force. For example, buying oil peacefully will always be cheaper.
Who Uses Whom? (12/02)
"Osama Ante Portas" (11/13)
Putin is right, even if he's using Bush's rhetoric for his own agenda saying that today Islam is dominated by extremists. What he doesn't say is that the West itself has triggered extremist power. Stopping the Golden Fleece expedition on Iraq and taking the settler-commandos out of Palestinian territory would be enough to stop the terrorist turmoil. The Islamic masses would lose interest and Osama or whoever knows that you can annoy the enemy with terror, not win the war. But the NWO is a victim of its own muscle and will never stop its "Drang nach Osten."
North Korea, though, doesn't risk too much despite of its challenging attitude towards the USA. If Saddam Hussein had used a tiny fragment of North Korea's vocabulary, he would have been smashed a long ago. But North Korea has no oil and the NWO will not risk scratching its little finger just for the satisfaction of punishing a little bully.
Resurrection of Paradise (11/12)
Here comes the most sensational scoop in human history: The Burning Bush is preparing the return of Paradise on Earth. As we know, Paradise was situated in Mesopotamia, meaning Iraq. It will be the only disarmed country in the world -- can anybody imagine weapons in Paradise? The Burning Bush will restore Paradise in Iraq by making it as inoffensive as a baby.
As Paradise was also a hangout for Satan, the Burning Bush will assume permanent control over Paradise/Iraq to prevent any danger from Saddam/Satan. The Holy Oil, more efficient than Holy Water, will feed the Burning Bush's power in a bid to turn the whole world into the Burning Bush's Paradise.
