13.Nov.2004 Im Wahlkampf habe Bush zusätzlich versprochen, dass er die einmalige Steuersenkung festschreiben wolle, wenn er im Kongress eine Mehrheit besitzt.
"Die hat er nun", so Koch-Weser im Vorfeld des am kommenden Wochenende stattfindenden G-20-Gipfels in Berlin + deshalb werde der Staatshaushalt der USA auch weiterhin belastet:
"Wir reden über sehr große Summen, für die es keine Gegenfinanzierung gibt."
13.Nov.2004 We have some positive developments regarding the growing evidence of voter fraud in the 02.Nov.2004 elections.
Recounts are on the way! Bev Harris has held a press conference with Ralph Nader (whom I still hate) regarding recounts:
They have teamed up with https://www.ballotintegrity.org / and have set up a 527 special fund https://helpamericarecount.org / to buy recounts.
They worked with Bev Harris's lawyer who is an election specialist attorney.
They have found a little used law that allows a recount if it's requested by five citizens who voted in that state and did not vote for the candidate who won.
Yeah, they're asking for money.
Yeah, a lot of us are feeling tapped out.
But look at it this way: A mere ten bucks buys you a whole precinct .
Big media have tried to serenade us to sleep on this issue, but the song ain't working.
My humble responses to the New York Times and Salon have seen some circulation.
Now we have Bob Parry's powerhouse reply to the mainstream press organs, which he places in the context of their historical pattern of protecting the Bush family.
Read that piece as a warm-up to Sam Parry's "Washington Post's Sloppy Analysis," which may be the single best piece yet on the Florida imbroglio. Excerpts:
In an example of their slipshod reporting, Roig-Franzia and Keating state that we focused our data analysis on rural counties in Florida.
They suggest that Bush [BGW968]’s gains in these rural counties might be explained by the greater appeal of son-of-the-South Al Gore in 2000 than Bostonian Kerry [KFJ966] in 2004.
But we didn’t focus on rural counties in Florida.
Rather we looked at the vote tallies statewide and zeroed in on Bush [BGW968]’s performance in the larger, more metropolitan counties of southern + central Florida, where Bush [BGW968] got the vast majority of his new votes over his state totals in 2000.
It was in these large counties where Bush [BGW968]’s new totals compared most surprisingly with new voter registration because Democrats did a much better job in many of these counties of registering new voters...
...Contrary to assertions in the flawed Post article, the most surprising numbers actually don’t come from small rural counties in the state, but rather from large counties, including Orange county (mentioned above), Hillsborough (Tampa), Brevard (Cape Canaveral), Duval (Jacksonville), Polk (next to Orange county) + heavily Democratic Leon (Tallahassee) + Alachua (Gainesville).
These are not tiny Dixiecrat counties with longtime registered Democrats who haven’t voted Democratic in years.
Rather, these seven counties have large, diverse populations that collectively saw Bush [BGW968] turn out 1,025,493 votes, exceeding the 946,420 registered Republicans.
In these counties, Bush [BGW968] turned out nearly twice as many new votes than the number of newly registered Republicans.
In these same counties, Kerry [KFJ966] got more than 200,000 new votes, meaning that Bush [BGW968]’s tally can’t be attributed to crossover Democrats.
You should also check out this fine response to the ghastly Washington Post and Boston Globe articles.
The writer emphasizes one point I should have made days ago:
Second, the issue with long lines isn't just convenience- it is a suppression issue when people are told (wrongly) that because of heavy turn-out they can come back tomorrow +
a fraud issue when they know that the turn out will be out the door, around the block + down the highway + only put two or three voting booths in minority locations- that is also potentially a Voting Rights Act of 1965 issue. Let's strike out that "potentially." Black people are being taxed without representation.
NPR has been doing an imitation of Fox News in recent months. Even so, you may want to check out this report.
Give him credit. James Galbraith of The Nation at least attempts to offer an explanation for the exit poll discrepancies:
If (as is usually the case) the polling places are operating below their capacity, then this technique will pick up two important aspects of the final total.
First, it will accurately capture the relative vote for Bush [BGW968] and Kerry [KFJ966] in each targeted precinct.
Second, if turnout is higher than the past standard for that precinct, the poll will also show a higher count for that precinct, which gives the pollster a fighting chance to identify a turnout surge in one part of the state or another.
But suppose voting is much higher than expected.
And suppose further that (for reasons to be discussed below), precincts are operating at their capacity--or, even worse, that their capacity has been reduced, relative to previous elections, because of a complicated ballot or shortage of machines. In that case, the exit pollster will not see the full increase in turnout during any fixed period of time.
Instead, there will be a queue of voters, many of whom will actually vote only later, after the time window for the exit poll has closed.
That element in the increased turnout will be missed.
Since turnout did surge more in Florida's red than blue counties, this is a sufficient explanation for the failure of the exit polls there, unless something further and heinous comes to light.
And how do we know the turnout surged more in red counties than in blue counties? Because...er...um...the computer tabulated final results say so.
Once again, we encounter circular reasoning: Galbraith's argument depends upon the assumption that the GEMS system provided reliable data.
He asks us to accept as a given the very numbers we don't trust.
I question Galbraith's whole line of reasoning. I question the presumption that Kerry [KFJ966] supporters were not every bit as motivated as their Republican counterparts, if not moreso.
All the published reports I have seen indicate that the Democratic precincts had far, far more problems with long lines and insufficient voting machines. Things went much more easily in Bush [BGW968] country
And nothing in this fanciful scenario tells us why the exit poll disparities were greater in the swing states of Ohio and Florida than in, say, Illinois.
Ken Blackwell is at it again.
The Ohio Secretary of State is changing the law at the last minute, doing his damnedest to toss out every provisional vote:
The new ruling in Cuyahoga County mandates that provisional ballots in yellow packets must be “Rejected” if there is no “date of birth” on the packet.
The Free Press obtained copies of the original “Provisional Verification Procedure” from Cuyahoga County which stated “Date of birth is not mandatory and should not reject a provisional ballot.”
The original procedure required the voter’s name, address and a signature that matched the signature in the county’s database.
Remember: Ohio will have a recount. Why would Blackwell (a rabid G.O.P. partisan who has made no secret of his ambition to reap the rewards Katherine Harris received) go to such lengths?
Perhaps he knows something we don't. Perhaps he thinks Kerry [KFJ966] still has a chance of scoring an upset victory in Ohio.
Moon men against Bush [BGW968]? The Washington Times has published a story on massive security holes in Diebold's software.
For readers will be surprised to learn this. The strange thing here is the venue:
The Washington Times is funded by the Reverend Moon to the tune of (some say) a hundred million bucks a year + only a child would believe that the money is clean.
Moon is close to the Bush family + the paper skews so far to the right it sometimes makes the NY Post look like an Emma Goldman production.

13.Nov.2004 Bush [BGW968] Victory's Lesson to the World By Nat Parry URL: https://www.consortiumnews.com/2004/111104.html
11.Nov.2004 On the surface, the world’s reaction to Bush [BGW968]’s victory has been one of disbelief and revulsion.
But underneath, the lesson may be even more troubling, as authoritarian regimes are tempted to cite flaws in the U.S. electoral process to justify their own anti-democratic impulses.
03.Nov.2004 -The day after USA election, the UK Daily Mirror asked plaintively, “How can 59,017,382 people be so dumb?”
Not to be outdone, Russia’s Pravda asserted that “America was betrayed + murdered on 02.Nov.2004.
Also killed during this time of madness were the following virtues: truth, justice, integrity, freedom, compassion, brotherhood, tolerance, faith, hope, charity, peace + respect for other cultures + nations.”
While those two commentaries may be harsher than most, their points of view appear to be widespread.
A couple of weeks before the U.S. election, a newspaper survey of public opinion in 10 countries, including Russia + UK found that respondents, by a 2-to-1 margin, were hoping for a Kerry [KFJ966] victory.
In the days after the election, the television news reports in Denmark spent hours wondering how Kerry [KFJ966] could have lost to Bush [BGW968] in what was such an easy + clear choice for the betterment of the world.
A Danish friend told me in an e-mail that he + his friends watched the U.S. election returns until 5:00 in the morning.
“A lot of people here in Denmark followed the U.S. election very intensively,” he said, “and got very disappointed” at Bush [BGW968]’s victory.
“The future looks pretty bleak,” another Danish friend said. “It’s just hard to keep up the optimism with the perspective of four more years.”
13.Nov.2004 An addendum to the piece below on NYT and MSNBC disinformation: Mainstream writers repeatedly assure us that Democratic bigwigs see no evidence of vote fraud. But this piece from the Moderate Independent argues that Kerry [KFJ966] takes the problem seriously, although he must now operate sub rosa for tactical reasons: "...he is like the DA who says, 'At this time we are not charging President Bush [BGW968] with anything.'"
Two points: 1. Democratic lawyers are crawling all over Ohio as you read these words; they would not do so if they trusted the results. 2. By allowing Nader, the Greens and the Libertarians to mount a challenge on behalf of Kerry [KFJ966], the Democrats demonstrate a strategic wisdom I thought they had lost.
13.Nov.2004 As if the exit poll conundrum (see below) wasn't enough -- we now have another mystery to solve. UPDATES: a clue and a map and a biased report. We will not get over it!
13.Nov.2004 The whole world is watching. The Consortium offers a good overview of foreign reactions to our miserable election. This passage has particular impact:
13.Nov.2004 If you haven't seen it yet, this site is surprisingly moving. Keep clicking through the gallery...
13.Nov.2004 Turmoil at CIA agency Fascinating!
As you know,
Bush [BGW968]'s new DCI is his right-wing crony Porter Goss (allegedly the fellow depicted in that long-ago "spies' night out" nightclub photograph, seated with such covert op luminaries as Frank Sturgis + Barry Seal.)
With Goss in the top spot, many are moving out . From the Washington Post:
John E. McLaughlin, a 32-year CIA veteran who was acting director for two months this summer until Goss took over, resigned after warning Goss that his top aide, former Capitol Hill staff member Patrick Murray, was treating senior officials disrespectfully and risked widespread resignations, the officials said.
Yesterday, the agency official who oversees foreign operations, Deputy Director of Operations Stephen R. Kappes, tendered his resignation after a confrontation with Murray.
Goss and the White House pleaded with Kappes to reconsider + he agreed to delay his decision until Monday, the officials said.
Several other senior clandestine service officers are threatening to leave, current + former agency officials said.
Earlier I speculated that John "magician" McLaughlin (the acting DCI after Tenet left) is part of the faction opposed to Bush [BGW968].
Leaks embarrassing to the administration marked his brief tenure.
(Incidentally, the CIA/Bush [BGW968] administration "war," once discussed only by wild men such as yours truly, has now become an acceptable topic of conversation in polite society.)
Older readers may recall the time Stansfield Turner tried to clean house at CIA in the late 1970s.
Many a spook was let loose. They did (+ may still do) more harm off the reservation than they ever could accomplish while still honestly employed by Uncle Sam.
Perhaps something like that history will now repeat itself?
If I were Bush [BGW968], I would not want an embittered former Deputy Director of Operations scurrying around in the shadows. The DDO runs the covert op/dirty tricks stuff.

10.Nov.2004 Bush [BGW968] NOMINATES WAR CRIMINAL TO REPLACE RELIGIOUS FANATIC
WASHINGTON - President Bush [BGW968] will nominate White House attorney Alberto Gonzales, author of the opinion allowing US troops to torture prisoners in Iraq to replace outgoing religious fanatic and witch-hunter John Ashcroft.
Ashcroft, whose greatest claim to fame was the musical composition and rendition of "When the Eagle Soars" featured in Fahrenheit 9-11 failed to catch a single Al Qaeda terrorist in over four years in office.
Bush [BGW968] press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday that Mr Gonzales' experience in promoting war crimes would prove invaluable over the next four years in the imminent crackdown on civil liberties and dissent.
"As we move inevitably towards a Police State, we need someone with a proven track record in justifying the trampling of human rights. We believe Mr. Gonzales is that man."
Referring to the departing Mr Ashcroft, McClellan said, "John Ashcroft played a major role in hunting down abortion providers, medical marijuana smokers + euthanasia practitioners, all major threats to God-fearing Americans. His failure to prevent or capture terrorists can be seen as all part of God's plan to allow 11.Sep.2001 to happen, thus helping pave the way for President Bush [BGW968] to be re-elected despite one of the most abysmal records in the last century. Who knows, if John Ashcroft had listened to whiners like Richard Clarke, 11.Sep.2001 might have been averted and Kerry [KFJ966] or even Al Gore might be President January 20th."

13.Nov.2004 This is apparently US policy. I've already seen several instances of it, one on the "Apache Hit" video posted on this site (sorry 'search' function is down right now) last January + then two instances on CNN. In neither case did CNN choose to comment on the illegality of the acts.
It is in violation of the Geneva conventions to kill the wounded, but as we know from our new Attorney-General to be, we don' need no steenkin' Geneva Convention to fight the tairrists.

19.Aug.2003 Voting Machine Fiasco: SAIC, VoteHere + Diebold by Lynn Landes Dissident Voice
The voting machine wars are heating up and the implications of vote fraud in America are even more ominous.
Computer scientist Avi Rubin, whose Johns Hopkins University team found serious flaws in Diebold Election Systems software abruptly resigned from VoteHere, another election software company.
In a related story, on August 6th Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) gave a contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) to review the Diebold Election System's software in preparation for elections in Maryland. The report is due in four weeks.
Avi Rubin announced today his resignation from VoteHere, an elections systems company. His statement reads: "Effective immediately, I am resigning from the Technical Advisory Board of VoteHere, and I am returning all stock options, which have never been exercised + which are not entirely vested." Unexercised stock options may be the least of Rubin's problems.
Rubin's relationship with VoteHere was a surprise to many.

13.Nov.2004 It should be remembered that the CIA has a decades-long track record of assisting in the brutal overthrow of democratically elected governments around the world.
Recently, SAIC got the contract to assist other corporations, including Northrop Grumman, in training of the Iraqi Army.
The specter of corporations, littered with ex-CIA types, that both control the voting systems and train the armies of countries around the world, is an emerging and frightening reality.
"Currently on SAIC's board is ex-CIA director Bobby Ray Inman, director of the National Security Agency, deputy director of the CIA, + vice director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.
According to the OC (*Orange County) Weekly, "Inman worked at the highest levels of American intelligence during an era (President Ronald Reagan) when it displayed a stunning lack of it.
Inman's achievements include: failing to predict the peaceful collapse of the Soviet Union; prolonging violent, useless civil wars in Central America;
and giving arms to terrorists in exchange for hostages (Iran Contra)."
"During the Bush administration, Inman, Perry + Deutch - while directors of Science Applications (SAIC), were also members of the National Foreign Intelligence Board (NFIB), an advisory group reporting to the President + the director of Central Intelligence, which deals with production, review and coordination of foreign intelligence," reports the Crypt.
Both Inman + Deutch were former Directors of the CIA.
William J. Perry was also a former Secretary of Defense during the Clinton Administration.
SAIC proudly lists DARPA in its annual report as one of its prime clients.
DARPA is the controversial Department of Defense (DOD) subsidiary, which until recently employed Admiral John Poindexter of Iran-Contra fame.
Poindexter was forced to resign when it was revealed that DARPA was prepared to trade "futures" in terrorist attacks.
DARPA has also developed a program to spy on American citizens, which has civil libertarians in an uproar.
So, what should Maryland's Governor Ehrlich do?
Cancel the contracts with Diebold + SAIC, throw out all of the voting machines + order a new batch of paper ballots. And most importantly, let the people count the votes.

Key Stories And A Money Chart May Be Found At Bush Watch Here. Back in January when the administration was new, the Washington Monthly noted (2nd last item)the Bush family business:
https://www.washingtonmonthly.com/tilting/2001/0104.tilting.html The NYT ran a front-page photo of former President Bush with Saudi King Fahd on a trip to Saudi Arabia as part of his work for the Carlyle Group.
The ice-breaking story by Leslie Wayne quoted Charles Lewis: "In a really peculiar way, Bush [BGW968] could, some day, benefit financially from his own administration's decisions, through his father's investments.
The average American doesn't know that and, to me, that's a jaw-dropper."
https://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/05/politics/05CARL.html Judicial Watch commented that the senior Bush's association with the Carlyle Group was a "conflict of interest (which) could cause problems for America's foreign policy in Middle East and Asia". Judicial Watch called on the President's father to resign.
Without saying 'revolving door, it was noted that the former FCC chair was joining the telecom + media section at Carlyle: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/02/business/02KENN.htm l
07.May 2001 European Venture Capital Journal identified the Carlyle Group as heavy hitters with "an all-star roster of professionals (that) just got stronger":
https://www.evcj.com/evcj/ZZZW91V8LKC.html
13.May 2001 -when another conservative world leader cashed in his chips + traded on his former government insider status + knowledge of the regulatory system, the BBC ran a story headlined: Major to chair private equity house
26.May 2001 The London Times followed, noting that "The employment of Bush Sr has attracted attention, mainly because his son is ultimately responsible for awarding US arms contracts":
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,37-2001180089,00.html
00.Sep.2001 In late September The Wall Street Journal touched on salient aspects of the story last month by highlighting the bin Laden family investments in the Carlyle Group, then dropped it like a hot 'tater.
"Bin Laden Family Could Profit From a Jump In Defense Spending Due to Ties to U.S. Bank", by Daniel Golden, James Bandler + Marcus Walker, The Wall Street Journal, 28.Sep.2001
After the WSJ story, Judicial Watch spokesman Larry Klayman posted a release uppping the ante.
He was again ignored by the mainstream when he said, "This conflict of interest has now turned into a scandal.
The idea of the President's father, an ex-president himself, doing business with a company under investigation by the FBI in the terror attacks of 11.Sep.2001 is horrible. President Bush should not ask, but demand, that his father pull out of the Carlyle Group."
A down under paper picked it up: Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. https://www.theage.com.au/news/state/2001/10/28/FFX262DBATC.html
The confluence of Bush and bin Laden family interests was noted briefly in the last item at: https://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0111.whoswho.html
Along with others in the world press, India and Pakistani newspapers have either either reported or copied aspects of the perceived conflicts:
https://www.hindustantimes.com/nonfram/280901/dLAME27.asp https://news.indiatimes.com/articleshow.asp?art_id=1197180992
There's been a little but not much editorial comment: https://baltimorechronicle.com/media3_oct01.shtml
and indignation at the Center for Public Integrity, which was then strangely attacked by a Washington Post columnist.
https://www.public-i.org/story_01_103100.htm
https://www.public-i.org/commentary_01_042001.htm
https://www.public-i.org/story_01_021201.htm
Charles Lewis of the Center for Public Integrity discusses the revolving door of the Carlyle Group.
(audio, Democracy, Now!, Pacifica Radio, 06.Mar.2001 )
The WSJ story had legs.
00.Oct.2001 -For a few weeks-, the mainstream, including LAT + the Chicago Tribune among others, turned up the heat on Saudi Arabia, so much so that President Bush felt compelled to call the Saudi Prince to thank him for "cooperating" with the investigation to find the perpetrators of the attacks on the Pentagon + Twin Towers.
25.Oct.2001 the NY Times' Elaine Sciolino and Neil MacFarquhar told of the delicate dance: Naming of Hijackers as Saudis May Further Erode Ties to U.S. The story ran with a photograph of Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal with President Bush in the Oval Office, noting that "the Saudis value such personal contacts highly".
The engine at govexec.com presents and searches tables that sort and order defense contractors.
Among many tables that establish the Carlyle Group as the 11th + sometimes 12th leading defense contractor, depending on which branch of the armed forces is the purchasing agent, there's one table that establishes President Bush's family business as the 12th largest missile defense contractor: https://www.govexec.com/top200/01top/catmissiles.htm
But only 32nd in defense contracting of electronics and communications: https://www.govexec.com/top200/01top/catelectronic.htm
The defense angle was covered by Defense News in 00.Aug.2001 : https://www.veritascapital.com/view_news.asp?ID=14
11.Sep.2001 -After-, the Carlyle Group pulled the plug on its Web pages, which are still visible in Google's cache but won't be for a lot longer.
Bush AND "Carlyle Group" is one possible search term.
Some U.S. editors are ignoring or downplaying the story while the U.K. + other international press are interested. A topical example from a recent week:
A buried one liner in a U.S. newspaper notes with no elaboration the revolving door relationship between the administration and the Carlyle Group: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14990-2001Oct30.html
Forty-five days after the dive-bombing at the Twin Towers, another buried one liner confides that the bin Laden family will no longer be doing business with the Bush family within the Carlyle Group:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A59924-2001Oct26.html
Part of the larger picture is explored at The Ex-President's Club at: https://www.guardian.co.uk/wtccrash/story/0,1300,583869,00.html
If this Guardian story is true, then there was not, as was widely reported, a massive U.S. intelligence failure leading to 11.Sep.2001 . https://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4293682,00.html
Sydney Morning rewrote the above story, crediting the BBC: Before 11.Sep.2001 , Bush told agents to back off bin Ladin family https://www.smh.com.au/news/0111/07/world/world100.html

13.Nov.2004 Again and again, the conservative critics -- not Moore -- are the ones who cannot pass the truth test.
One of the most widely-noted critiques comes from Brendan Nyhan of the allegedly objective Spinsanity site. Nyhan's "objectivity" is such that he sees fit to quote Michael Isikoff without qualification. (Yeesh. That's almost as bad as taking a statement from Chris Vlasto at face value!) The afore-mentioned Craig Unger has sufficiently countered Isikoff on his site and elsewhere.
Nyhan then hits us with this doozy of a paragraph:
Finally, Moore drops a big number - $1.4 billion - claiming "That's how much the Saudi royals and their associates have given the Bush family, their friends and their related businesses in the past three decades," adding that "$1.4 billion doesn't just buy a lot of flights out of the country.
It buys a lot of love." But Isikoff and Hosenball show that nearly 90% of that total comes from contracts awarded by the Saudi government to BDM, a defense contractor owned by Carlyle.
But when the contracts were awarded and BDM received the Saudi funds, Bush Sr. had no official involvement with the firm, though he made one paid speech and took an overseas trip on its behalf.
He didn't actually join Carlyle's Asian advisory board until after the firm had sold BDM.
And though Bush [BGW968] had previously served on the board of another Carlyle company, he left it before BDM received the first Saudi contract.
As usual, the connections are loose and circumstantial at best. Nyhan deftly steers us away from the important point:
Did the elder Bush benefit financially from investment in Carlyle?
05.Mar.2001 -according the New York Times of- Indeed the elder Bush benefit financially from investment in Carlyle , . Speeches are one thing; parking your money at the firm quite another.
Everything I've read on this subject - + you can find an excellent summary at Bush Watch -- indicates close-n-cozy financial links between Carlyle, the Bush family, + allied Republicans.
"Loose and circumstantial"? My ass!

22.Nov.2001 So Bush Did Steal the White House A recently uncovered memo shows that the Florida judge in charge of last year's presidential recount was moving toward counting the "overvotes" that heavily favored Al Gore when Bush [BGW968] got five Republicans on the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene to save the day. .

13.Nov.2004 Dylan Still Subversive? It is a good thing that Bob Dylan has US citizenship, otherwise he might be in the same fix as Cat Stevens (a.k.a. Yusuf Islam).
The mere singing of a 1963 song, "Masters of War," at a Colorado High School brought in the Secret Police.
Now we know why Usamah Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri haven't been caught.
The US security services are busy sifting through old lyrics looking for the real terrorists.
I suggest that they take another look at the Buffalo Springfield.
This is not a new activity. You would be shocked at how many FBI hours were logged trying to find obscenities in the slurred lyrics of Richard Berry's "Louie, Louie" once upon a time. I kid you not.
The bad news for Dylan? The (un-)"Patriot Act II" allows the government to strip people of their US citizenship.

13.Nov.2004 AP also reports, 'in a telephone interview with Al-Jazeera television, Saif al-Deen al-Baghdadi, an official of the insurgents' political office, urged militants to fight U.S. forces outside Fallujah.
"I call upon the scores or hundreds of the brothers from the mujahedeen ... to press the American forces outside . . .
We chose the path of armed jihad and say clearly that ridding Iraq of the occupation will not be done by ballots.
Ayad Allawi's government ... represents the fundamentalist right-wing of the White House and not the Iraqi people.'' '
That the context for the current fighting is in part the upcoming elections in January is clear from al-Baghdadi's statement.
The guerrillas and other forces are rejecting such participation + th question is whether they can win over the generality of Sunni Arabs to their rejectionist point of view.
On a lighter note, it is hard to avoid observing that al-Baghdadi castigated Bush's administration as "fundamentalist" and "right-wing."
When even the Sunni Salafis of Mosul consider you too fundamentalist and right-wing, you have probably gone too far.

13.Nov.2004 Murder...People in Falloojeh are being murdered. The stories coming back are horrifying. People being shot in cold blood in the streets and being buried under tons of concrete + iron... where is the world?
Bury Arafat and hurry up and pay attention to what's happening in Iraq.
They say the people have nothing to eat. No produce is going into the city and the water has been cut off for days and days. Do you know what it's like to have no clean water???
People are drinking contaminated water and coming down with diarrhoea and other diseases. There are corpses in the street because no one can risk leaving their home to bury people.
Families are burying children and parents in the gardens of their homes. WHERE IS EVERYONE???
Furthermore, where is Sistani?
Why isn't he saying anything about the situation? When the South was being attacked, Sunni clerics everywhere decried the attacks.
Where is Sistani now, when people are looking to him for some reaction? The silence is deafening.
We're not leaving the house lately.
There was a total of 8 hours of electricity today + we've been using the generator sparingly because there is a mysterious fuel shortage... several explosions were heard in different places.
Things are deteriorating swiftly. More on Falloojeh crisis here: Aid agencies say Falluja "big disaster"...
Eyewitness: Smoke and Corpses...
Iraqis will never forgive this- never. It's outrageous- it's genocide + USA, with the help + support of Allawi, is responsible.
May whoever contributes to this see the sorrow, terror + misery of the people suffering in Falloojeh.

13.Nov.2004 Erneut Moschee bei Brandanschlag zerstört -heute Morgen- Bei einem Feuer in Helden bei Venlo ist eine Moschee zerstört worden. Die Behörden gehen von Brandstiftung aus.
Bei dem Anschlag unweit der deutschen Grenze sei niemand verletzt worden, teilte die Polizei mit.
In der belgischen Stadt Antwerpen ist derweil das Tragen der Burka in der Öffentlichkeit verboten.
Den Haag - Wie ein Sprecher der islamischen Gemeinde von Helden berichtete, war das Feuer von Muslimen entdeckt worden, die sich auf dem Weg zum Morgengebet befanden.
Das Feuer war gegen sechs Uhr morgens ausgebrochen + bereits nach zehn Minuten unter Kontrolle, berichtete eine Polizeisprecherin.
Dennoch gelang es der örtlichen Feuerwehr lediglich, die Außenmauern des Gotteshauses zu erhalten.
Ein Vertreter der islamischen Gemeinde äußerte den Verdacht, dass in erster Linie Jugendliche als Brandstifter in Frage kämen.
Zwischen einheimischen und ausländischen Jugendlichen in Helden sei es in letzter Zeit häufiger zu Spannungen gekommen, sagte er vor Journalisten.
Seit der Ermordung des Film-Regisseurs + Islamkritikers Theo van Gogh am 02.Nov.2004 durch einen mutmaßlichen islamischen Extremisten
sind in den Niederlanden mehrere Moscheen + Koranschulen sowie einige christliche Kirchen durch Brandanschläge schwer beschädigt worden.
Die Polizei hat nach eigenen Angaben mehrere Dutzend Verdächtige festgenommen. Hauptverdächtiger des Mordes an Van Gogh ist ein mutmaßlicher Moslem-Extremist.
Während die Auseinandersetzung zwischen Muslimen und Andersgläubigen in den Niederlanden eskaliert, ist die Stadt Antwerpen dazu übergegangen, das Tragen der Burka in der Öffentlichkeit zu verbieten.
Wie die flämische Zeitung "Het Laatste Nieuws" heute berichtet,
wird die Polizei in Belgiens zweitgrößter Stadt zukünftig alle Frauen, die sich mit dem afghanischen Traditionsgewand von Kopf bis Fuß verhüllen, auf das Vermummungsverbot in der Öffentlichkeit hinweisen.
Außerdem müssten die Beamten die Identität der Burka-Trägerinnen feststellen, hieß es.
Im Wiederholungsfall drohe eine Geldbuße. Das Tragen eines Kopftuchs ohne Schleier vor dem Gesicht werde "vorläufig" aber noch nicht als Gesetzesbruch verfolgt.
