War On Democracy

Bush vergelijkt
de aanslag op Pearl Harbor met die van 11 september. Dat deed DaanSpeak
ook, op 11 september.
'He connected the challenge the nation faced in 1941 with the struggle against
terrorists who unleashed the devastating attacks on America on Sept. 11.
“This war came, oh, so suddenly, but it has brought out the best in our
nation,” Bush told the sailors.' ' “They celebrate death, making a mission
of murder and a sacrament of suicide [...]', zegt Bush over Bin Laden en
de Al-Quaidastrijders, maar de celebration of death is letterlijk
de uitdrukking die werd gebruikt in de documentaire
over Skull
& Bones, om dit duistere geheime genootschap waarvan Bush
lid is te omschrijven.
'Md. police had terrorist in custody
Baltimore mayor: He was freed because CIA
didn’t alert cops
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 — One of the 19 suicide hijackers involved in the Sept.
11 attacks was stopped by a Maryland state trooper before Sept. 11, but
was released because the trooper had no way of knowing the man was on a
CIA terrorist watch list, Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley said Tuesday.'
'Pakistan: Bin
Laden briefed on nukes Two scientists introduced to terrorist leader
by Mullah Omar
By Kamran Khan and Molly Moore THE WASHINGTON POST
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Dec. 11 — Two Pakistani nuclear scientists reportedly
have told investigators they conducted long discussions about nuclear, chemical
and biological weapons with suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden in August
in the Afghan capital of Kabul, according to Pakistani officials familiar
with the interrogations of the men.
[...] Mahmood and Majid said bin Laden indicated that he had obtained, or
had access to, some type of radiological material that he said had been
acquired for him by the radical Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.'
'Dec. 11 — One of the ironies of the war in Afghanistan is that
the more that U.S. forces succeed there, the more that Pentagon officials
warn about difficulties ahead. [...] Such refrains [...] also may be
directed at those inside as well as outside the administration eager
to get on with widening U.S. military action to other countries and terrorist
cells.'
'Spinning
Israel’s war - WASHINGTON, Three months ago, when President
Bush declared war on terrorists who had struck the United States, he framed
the conflict to his advantage in three ways. He broadened the definition
of the American side, narrowed the definition of the enemy, and asserted
a tough standard of culpability that gave regimes an incentive to police
terrorists within their borders. Yesterday, after Hamas bombers killed two
dozen Israeli civilians and wounded hundreds more, Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon adopted Bush’s strategy. He is trying to make Israel’s war
as compelling as, and identical to, America’s.'
