ALJeezera Broadcasting in my living room!

Triangle Television here in New Zealand is now broadcasting AlJazeera during prime time. This infuriates me.

John Lewis's words echo in my ear

"We censor the media"

"When captured Americans are beheaded on television, we do not close down the broadcasts or attack the governments financing them"

You have a most peculiar view of the facts associated with the "illegal war" in Iraq.

If, as you claim, this was simply a continuation of the "Gulf War", could you please explain the following:
Why did King George go to Congress and get "permission" to attack Iraq? (with FAKE evidence)

Why did the US go to the UN and request a resolution, which would "legitamise" their intention to attack Iraq?

What did Powell mean when he publically stated that "Saddam does not possess the means to threaten his neighbours"?

What did Condi Rice mean when she too stated that "Sanctions have worked, Iraq is unable to attack it's neighbours, even on a "conventional" basis"?

Please don't tell me that "things changed" a few months later
and "suddenly" Saddam had gone on a shopping trip to "Nukes-R-Us".

If the UN and International Law is so "bogus" why did/do the US Government insist that Saddam (Iran) was/is in breach of dictates by both.
Further, why is it that both these Institutions are demeaned by the two countries, in particular, who stand accused and "convicted" of massive breaches, to be "bogus".

"You can't have your cake and eat it". (Unless you are the US or Israeli Govt., of course. Israel has given the "finger" to over SIXTY UN resolutions, but never mind, they did suffer sixty years ago, at the hands of the Palestinians, oops, Germans I mean.)

Reach up to your eyes, where you will feel some soft fluffy stuff, grip it firmly and remove it. That's much better isn't it?

Now, take your time, really think, then answer the questions. (Fat chance eh!)


kevin how the hell is this

kevin how the hell is this an illegal war,im fed up with morons using that one.First theere basically is no international law in reality and the UN is just a bunch of anti american dictators.Even by that bogus assertion that the UN is the font of goodness and international law the Iraq war is legal.After the first gulf war which was endorsed by a UN resolution a cease fire was signed.A cease fire is not the termanation of hostilities like a surrender but a ceasation of military action on the previso that certian conditions are met.
Any breaking of the cease fire agreement by Saddam Hussein is justification to continue military action to remove him.
Saddam began breaking the cease fire agreement within one month of the end of the first gulf war therefore the second gulf war is just a continuation of the first.

The weapons inspectors were in Iraq and were ordered out by the US because they were going to begin their "official" attack.
The inspectors were harassed by the Iraqis but this was hardly a reason to kill them in the hundreds of thousands.

Do both of us a favour, go read other than the crap you obviously hav been reading and then return with some balanced, logical, origional statements, rather than the one-sided rubbish you simply "link" to.


Name the enemy and bloody well deal to it!

"What about the fake evidence of WMD"

What about Saddam refusing point blank to co-operate with weapons inspectors? Does this make any difference to the current situation in Iran?

Name the enemy and bloody well deal to it!

Did you review the video of the fake OSB or are you only interested in "fake" videos of slaughtered Iraqis, slaughtered Palestinians and slaughtered Afghans? What about the fake evidence of WMD?
Maybe you have to believe that everything which shows the results of this illegal war, is fake, to preserve the illusion that your masters are right. How does it feel to be a supporter of what history will show to be the most dispicable regime to ever govern the USA?

As for the repeated link: I did ask you to refrain from bothering me with the rubbish, pushed by the foreign government agents whom you and people like you seem to not have the intellect to recognise, no matter how obvious they are - so sad.

The following says it all.
"Scott Ritter, a former U.N. arms inspector in Iraq, has written a book, Target Iran, in which he accuses the Israeli government and its American lobby of pushing the U.S. into attacking Iran.
Ritter writes, "Let there be no doubt: If there is an American war with Iran, it is a war that was made in Israel." He accuses some members of the lobby of dual loyalty and urges that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee be required to register as a foreign agent."

Kevin as part of my job I have reviewed over 10k unique propoganda videos manufactured in Iraq and Afganistan. Your evasion of the evil that we are fighting can only be ascribed to higher education.

Islam insofar as it is directed by governments, and as a measure enforced from above by any government, is to be done away with.

There is far worse, I turned to Prime TV but I managed to turn it off before my eyes burned......FOXNEWS!

As for AlJazeera, can't stand seeing all those pictures of mutilated Arab children and their moms, should be banned, eh! (the pictures I mean, not the mutilating!
