I posted a diary yesterday on this topic, but James Wolcott, who is always an excellent read, has picked up the topic and enlarged on it.

It seems that the rumours of a Bolton nomination linked to a June Iran attack is making the rounds:

"My reliable sources tell me it is because there is a timetable that makes it urgent for Bolton to be ready for action in June in order to cripple the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) as part of the plan to bomb the Iranian nuclear power plant at Bushehr. That's because Bushehr, under construction with Russian supervision, will soon be ready to receive the Russian fissionable material enabling it to produce power... Read More

This all makes sense now. Why are they pushing Bolton to be US ambassador to the UN? Because they had a hard time with the UN in their last act of aggression, the war with Iraq.

They need someone like Bolton to bully, push, intimidate, yell, scream and shout so they can get their way. I think you all remember Seymour Hersh talking about a June attack on Iran.

Why the big rush? My reliable sources tell me it is because there is a timetable that makes it urgent for Bolton to be ready for action in June in order to cripple the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) as part of the plan to bomb the Iranian nuclear power plant at Bushehr. That's because Bushehr, under construction with Russian supervision, will soon be ready to receive the Russian fissionable material enabling it to produce power. In 1981, remember Republican senators, Israel bombed the Osiraq nuclear power plant near Baghdad just before it was to be fueled by its French contractors. Once fueled, bombing is out of the question because of the radiation that would be emitted, with clouds traveling who knows where. Read More

This is pretty amazing. All day, I've been monitoring the news, and was led to believe that the protests against the alleged defilement of the Koran at Guantanamo Bay was localized in Afghanistan. I mean, isn't that what you would believe from this report?

The trigger that launched the deadly and destructive student-led demonstrations which began peacefully on 10 May in the eastern Nangarhar Province and spread to at least eight other provinces around Nangarhar and in the southern and northern parts of the country as well as Kabul are well-known. What is less understood is who has been fueling these rallies and for what purpose.

This is from the Asia Times, which must sometimes be read with a grain of salt, but apparently:

Both the US and concerned Pakistani authorities are positive that in the coming days we shall be around Osama bin Laden," a senior Pakistani official told Asia Times Online in an exclusive interview, speaking on condition of anonymity. The potential breakthrough in the hunt for bin Laden follows the arrest of al-Qaeda operative Abu Faraj al-Libbi in Pakistan last week, and an important lead he divulged during interrogation. Abu Faraj was interrogated by various agencies, including Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, Britain's MI6 and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation. Read More

That's what Larry Flynt alleges after obtaining Bolton's divorce records.

"The first Mrs. Bolton's conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or, at a minimum, it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton's established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations," said Mr. Flynt. "The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate." These court records are enclosed here as an attachment. Mr. Flynt continued, "The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations must be free of any potential source of disrepute or blackmail." Read More

From a story in today's Globe and Mail (Canadian newspaper):

Toronto -- The U.S.-led war on terrorism has made al-Qaeda an even more dangerous organization, a senior Canadian intelligence official said Monday.</it>

I think this guy is just saying what most people in the US think. However, it's nice to hear it from the mouth of a professional.

This web site has posts by many people who have contacts in the intelligence agencies in the US:

www.thisisrumorcontrol.org

They say that the OBL trail has gone cold. This is their entry on this topic:

U.S. intelligence officials are baffled by the sudden lack of information on Osama bin Laden, and fear that he is no longer in the Middle East. His probable location? Indonesia or Malaysia. (3)

And, they give the rumour a 3/10, for 1 being totally fictitious, and 10 being total truth. Just thought you guys would like to know.

Insurgents loot police uniforms
(Filed: 19/11/2004)

Insurgents have acquired thousands of police uniforms after officers deserted their posts when rebels attacked stations in Mosul.

fashion.telegraph

About 3,200 of the Iraqi town's 4,000 police officers dropped their weapons and ran off, intimidated into submission by groups of armed insurgents during a 48-hour period, it has emerged.

American-led troops will now potentially face rebels wearing police uniforms making it extremely difficult to distinguish them from policemen.

After the rate of acute malnutrition among children younger than 5 steadily declined to 4 percent two years ago, it shot up to 7.7 percent this year, according to a study conducted by Iraq's Health Ministry in cooperation with Norway's Institute for Applied International Studies and the U.N. Development Program. The new figure translates to roughly 400,000 Iraqi children suffering from "wasting," a condition that takes in chronic diarrhea and dangerous deficiencies of protein.

Iraq's child malnutrition rate now roughly equals that of Burundi, an African nation torn by more than a decade of war. It is worse than rates in Uganda and Haiti.

Help save a little girl's life

Atrios has this story about a little girl in Alabama, Lauren Rainey, who requires around the clock nursing to clear her lungs and airways. If she develops an obstruction, she will die. Her airway opening is now the size of a pencil tip.

The Alabama Medicaid organization has decided to stop funding her medical care because "she is not getting any worse".

The Alabama Governor, Bob Riley, has stated that "there are other programs to take care of this girl" - yeah, right - housekeeping programs twice a week.

You can contact the governor's office and ask him why he's lying to this girl:

State Capitol
600 Dexter Avenue
Montgomery, Alabama 36130
Switchboard: 334-242-7100
Fax: 334-353-0004

I called and they were very nice.

I am not making this up, click the link if you don't believe me!

This is JFK's:

For November 2: First thing this morning, you are made aware of a groundswell of activity that benefits you. This powerful locomotive is unstoppable and likely to outperform everyone's expectations. Even so, you will experience moments of uncertainty from time to time - but not for long. The best information indicates that your momentum is irreversible. You feel very popular and beloved most of the day. Even another's petty criticism is too limp to hit a bullseye. Enormous changes that you've hoped for - perhaps your own personal miracle - can occur.

Which network to boycott for election coverage? payback time

On election day, we have to decide which network we are going to give the big prize of having us as viewers. So, we should decide which network decides to be boycotted for its biased coverage during the campaign, and during the last few years - the Bush regime and the Clinton years.

This is a huge prize to the networks and decides their standing amongst news organizations for years to come - or until a major disaster strikes. I am not a regular tv watcher and don't have cable so I am just getting this off the ground. Your suggestions would be most welcome.

The point is not just to have Kossians boycott, but to spread the word around that payback time has arrived. Recommend this diary because I want this to be a serious issue. Let's get organized and get the word out.
