Robert Fisk: The occupation of Iraq has begun--this is an excerpt; original article linked
On 8 April, three weeks into the invasion, the Americans dropped four 2,000lb bombs on the Baghdad residential area of Mansur. They claimed they thought Saddam was hiding there. They knew they would kill civilians because it was not, as one Centcom mandarin said, a "risk free venture" (sic). So they dropped their bombs and killed 14 civilians in Mansur, most of them members of a Christian family....

'A Chill Wind is Blowing in This Nation...'
Today, prominent politicians who have decried violence in movies -- the "Blame Hollywooders," if you will -- recently voted to give our current president the power to unleash real violence in our current war. They want us to stop the fictional violence but are okay with the real kind. Could this be Joe Liberman?...

ZIONAZIS SUPPRESS SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS COLUMNIST JULIO NABOA
Yet another brave rare American columnist standing up for the truth about the plight of Palestinians has been fired from his post by weak-kneed editors unable and unwilling to stand up to the relentless anti-Palestinian Macarthytes that continue to choke the already very smothered discourse about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict here in the United States....

Stop Them Before They Kill Again
It wasn't but three or four hours after the statue of Saddam Hussein was pulled down by the US Marines (and a few dozen Iraqi extras) in the center of Baghdad before the maddest man on the Potomac, Donald Rumsfeld, issued a warning to the nation of Syria. In effect, Rumsfeld told Syria that its fate would be the same as the Iraqis unless it did his bidding. Further remarks from Rumsfeld and Colin Powell have clarified this threat while simultaneously ratcheting it up....

All of this lends weight to the theory that Bush's war is part of a masterplan to reshape the Middle East to serve Israel's interests. Haaretz quoted Paritzky as saying that the pipeline project is economically justifiable because it would dramatically reduce Israel's energy bill....

Why Syria Is Our Newest Target For Invasion
Indeed, the Arabs see a deeper plot and they may not be entirely wrong. Some members of the Bush administration came into office determined to overthrow Saddam, occupy Iraq and extend American control through as much of the region as possible. For these officials, some of them close to the Likud party, the invasion of Iraq was only a first step intended to pave the way for the removal of Syria as the last strategic opponent of Israel....
