All liberals, report for re-education
Thanks to rc3.org I found this article:
"We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too," pundit Ann Coulter told this month's meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference. "Otherwise they will turn out to be outright traitors."
Baghdad Olympics 2012
"Saddam Hussein has confirmed plans to build a new 100,000 capacity Olympic-standard sports stadium in Baghdad.

It has led to speculation that Iraq will bid to host the Olympic Games in 2012, when London may also apply."
Let's fight the Imperialists Terror!
"Support the Nepalese People’s war on the eve of the 6th Anniversary

Today the world is suffering from the terror of the imperialist warlords but at the same time heroic people of Nepal are fighting to establish the new democratic and socialist society under the leadership of the vanguard party of Nepalese proletariat CPN (M). The people’s war was initiated on February 13, 1996 which marks a historical importance. Now it is entering in its seventh year with the new possibilities and qualitative achievement. On the other side the challenges also increasing while it appears the alarm for imperialists and expansionists. People’s war is now able to establish the base areas throughout the country and mobilising the millions of masses to determine their own fate by themselves. Indian expansionism and US imperialist with their lackeys countering the Peoples war by labelling as a terrorists. But the reality is different they are backing the corrupts, murderers and the feudal lords, killing of thousands of innocent people, rape and gang rapes of thousands of women, torture and plunder."

'Fort America' infuriates Oslo residents
"The US Embassy in Oslo has sat on a prime location at one of the city's most heavily trafficked intersections for more than 40 years. Now the US is intent on turning the site into a virtual fortress. Angry local residents are gearing for an attack."
Who's that girl?
"[Colin] Powell seemed somewhat taken aback by Norway's Ida Norheim-Hagtun, 19, who asked how he felt representing a state she said was seen as a "satan of contemporary politics."

Powell had to ask his Norwegian interrogator to repeat the question before replying, "Far from being the great satan, I would say that we are the great protector." He added that U.S. troops had "saved Europe."

UPDATE! Here's a video of Ida's question.

Bush: United Behind America by Finishing Behind America
"Park City, Utah (SatireWire.com) — Saying there could be no greater blow to the enemies of freedom than to see the United States win gold, President George W. Bush today called upon non-U.S. Olympians to unite behind America by finishing behind America."

Hee-hee. SatireWire is definitely beating The Onion these days.

Spokesman: Afghan Attackers Organized
"Two U.S. soldiers were slightly wounded when intruders fired on U.S. positions to the north and west of the base, the Army said. Late Thursday, flares were fired from U.S. positions after troops saw a vehicle with three passengers about a mile southwest of the airfield, Army spokesman Maj. A.C. Roper said. Two other people were seen near the vehicle."

Is this how bin Laden escaped?
Bruce Anderson of the Spectator says that American fear of casualties almost certainly stopped the SAS from killing Osama bin Laden in this war-mongering, chest-beating article.

No love lost for bin Laden, but the peoples of the world must thank the Vietnamese for giving the US their Vietnam-syndrome.
Backdrop to Black Hawk Down
"In Somalia itself, hundreds of people checked out bootleg copies of the movie in Mogadishu. At those showings, there was silence as Somali people fell to U.S. bullets. When U.S. Black Hawks fell and invading soldiers got hit, the crowds broke into applause."
