Press DELETE now if you're not interested in articles
about Bush and the current geopolitical nightmare, and
move on to the posts of P-listers who present NP
material more to your liking:

John R. MacArthur, publisher of Harper's Magazine, the
well-known conspiracy theory magazine, on Bush lies
(Bush I and Bush, Slayer of Evil-doers), in the famous
conspiracy theory newspaper, Globe and Mail:

"As the United Nations Security Council considers the
brief against Iraq prepared by George W. Bush, its
undecided permanent members should ask themselves a
basic question: How much of what the President says is
actually true? The French, Russian and Chinese
ambassadors would do well to recall that the Bush
presidents, father and son, have a poor record of
truth-telling when it comes to war and the UN -- that
they often cheat when they can't win an argument on
its merits."


...and MacNeil-Leher News regular Cynthia Tucker,
writing in another well-known lunatic fringe media
outlet, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, questioning
the Bush Administration's truthfulness:

"The Bush administration has worked very hard over the
last several months to convince Americans that Saddam
is linked to the assault that killed more than 3,000
people last year. They've succeeded despite what ought
to be a very difficult obstacle: There's absolutely no
proof that it's true. Though the Bush administration
has looked for even the slenderest threads of such
evidence, it has found little to suggest Saddam was
any less surprised by al-Qaida's attack than the rest
of us. The White House knows the facts. They just hope
that you don't. "

...and here's that communist revolutionary rag, LA
Times, on a related topic:

"The Bush administration, in a secret policy review
completed early this year, has ordered the Pentagon to
draft contingency plans for the use of nuclear weapons
against at least seven countries, naming not only
Russia and the "axis of evil"--Iraq, Iran, and North
Korea--but also China, Libya and Syria.

In addition, the U.S. Defense Department has been told
to prepare for the possibility that nuclear weapons
may be required in some future Arab-Israeli crisis.
And, it is to develop plans for using nuclear weapons
to retaliate against chemical or biological attacks,
as well as "surprising military developments" of an
unspecified nature."
