Media Misrepresent Democrats' Options on Iraq War

Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting reports: "Following a pattern set when Congress passed supplemental funding for the Iraq War last May, major media outlets continued to 'explain' the politics of the war in incomplete and misleading ways.... Congress does not have to pass legislation to bring an end to the war in Iraq - it simply has to block passage of any bill that would continue to fund the war. This requires not 67 or 60 Senate votes, or even 51, but just 41 ... the Democrats have more than enough votes to end the Iraq War - if they choose to do so."

As the highly public face of President George W Bush’s policy in Iraq, especially the ’surge,’ General David Petraeus has done his boss proud in following the White House script. This spokesman’s role, however, has created a deep rift between him and the nation’s highest military leaders. Most notably, he is on a collision course with Admiral William Fallon, chief of Central Command...

Gen. David Petraeus echoed many of George W. Bush’s dubious arguments for fighting an open-ended war in Iraq, including the emotional appeal that al-Qaeda sees Iraq as the ‘central front’ in its global jihad and wants to drive the Americans out in humiliation. But the intelligence data actually points to a near-opposite conclusion: that al-Qaeda sees Iraq as a diversion for the United States and wants to keep American forces bogged down there for the foreseeable future...

A car bomb blew up in the capital’s Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Sadr City on Thursday, killing at least four people, as a new survey suggested that the civilian death toll from the war could be more than 1 million. … ORB said it drew its conclusion from responses to the question about those living under one roof: ‘How many members of your household, if any, have died as a result of the conflict in Iraq since 2003?’ Based on Iraq’s estimated number of households — 4,050,597 — it said the 1.2 million figure was reasonable. There was no way to verify the number, because the government does not provide a full count of civilian deaths. Neither does the U.S. military. Both, however, say that independent organizations greatly exaggerate estimates of civilian casualties...

Government terrorism lists are a holiday turkey

Independent Institute
by Ivan Eland

11/25/09

As the holiday travel season rolls around again, the government’s terrorism watch list and no-fly list get ever more bizarre. Of course, for starters, the list has always been unconstitutional, because the government does not have probable cause to believe the vast majority of those on the list have committed a crime (otherwise they could arrest them outright instead of just banning them from flying on airplanes). The FBI’s terrorism watch list, from which the smaller no fly-list is derived, has 1,000,000 people listed, but according to officials, only a mere 400,000 of them are real people — the rest are aliases. Whew, I was getting worried there for an instant. Wait a minute, 400,000 is still a whopping number. An amazing 1,600 people are added to the terrorism list per day, merely on the much lower standard that they present ‘reasonable suspicion’ of being terrorists...

Der Deutsche Tierschutzbund fordert ein Ende der Massentötung von Geflügel zum Schutz gegen die Weiterverbreitung der Vogelgrippe. Die Tötung von 67.000 Enten in zwei niederbayerischen Betrieben sei völlig übertrieben. "Diese Tötungsserien sind mehr von Hysterie als von Augenmaß und verantwortlichem Handeln geprägt", kritisierte Tierschutzpräsident Wolfgang Apel am 13. September in Bonn. Er gab der Massentierhaltung eine Mitschuld an der Ausbreitung des Vogelgrippeerregers. "Statt endlich in Seuchenpräventionspolitik zu investieren, wird in Tötungsmaschinen investiert, die Tierleichenberge wachsen", beklagte Apel und forderte eine Rückkehr zu kleinbäuerlichen Strukturen.

In what can only be called the epitome of American arrogance, concern for the plight of the Iraqi people, particularly the 4 million of whom are now refugees is absent from the rhetoric, the clear implication being that that our suffering, which is the result of our own failed policies, is far more important than the suffering we have inflicted upon others.

In less time than our troops have been in Iraq, our men and women in uniform defeated the combined forces of Germany, Japan, and Italy during World War II.

If the Bush administration launches an attack on Iran, the reason won't be that Iran was about to obtain a nuclear weapon. The real reason will be that United States, as the world's only superpower, wants to establish clearly that it -- not Iran -- is the dominant power in the Middle East. That would make us all less secure, but the insistence on asserting dominance in the Middle East is the essence of the Bush administration's policy.
