Did you know that the UN in southern Lebanon suspects that Israel is manufacturing non-existent raids to pacify public opinion as Hizbollah missiles continue to fly across the frontier?!
Now you know!
Did you know that the UN draft contains ambiguous wording, such as demanding cessation of the fighting instead of a complete and immediate ceasefire?!
Now you [...]
Yesterday, Bahraini families toke their children to protest the terrorist war on Lebanon and the coward massacre by the Israeli terrorist army in Qana.
The Bahraini children made their voice heard and did most of the talking during the protest.
God bless you, kids of Bahrain. You are braver than most of our official who didn’t even [...]
Last year, President Bush appointed Bolton as our U.N. Ambassador using a constitutional loophole despite public outcry and Senate disapproval. Bolton’s track record as Ambassador is dismal. Don’t let this happen a second time!
Now that John Bolton’s appointment as United Nations Ambassador is coming to an end, the Senate is about to consider his re-nomination. [...]
The United States cast the first U.N. Security Council veto in nearly two years Thursday, blocking an Arab-backed resolution that would have demanded Israel halt its military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Well, I guess that settles that.
“We do not torture,” said President Bush on Monday.
Never mind all those torture pictures from Abu Ghraib.
Never mind all those torture stories from Guant�namo Bay.
Never mind the 2002 Justice Department memo that sought to justify torture.
Never mind reports of U.S. officials sending detainees to other countries for torture.
Never mind Dick [...]
