Russia Divulges Putin Assassination Plot

In spite of the missile defense system Russia doesn't want the US to deploy, are they working together? Or is that last paragraph [emphasis mine] true. Then read the next report which has very suspicious timing.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been told about a plot to assassinate him during a visit to Iran this week, a Kremlin spokeswoman said Sunday.

The spokeswoman, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity, refused further comment.

Interfax news agency, citing a source in Russia's special services, said suicide terrorists had been trained to carry out the assassination.

A spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, denied any such plot had been uncovered, characterizing the news as disinformation spread by Iran's adversaries.

And who might Iran's adversaries be? I'll get back to you.

Headline: VIDEO: Neocon Kristol Is Pushing For 'The Next World War'

Which is hardly news. He gets an erection every time he thinks of another World War.

On Fox News Sunday, right-wing pundit Bill Kristol continued to beat the war drums for a strike against Iran. 'I hope the administration is willing to do what it takes to back Iran off,' he said, adding that 'we may need to do stuff across the border.'

You'll have to follow the link to see the video. This machine's far to slow.

How Bush May Have Gotten Away with Mass Murder, War Crimes and Torture

If there's any justice in the world, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld will be tried as war criminals, but I'm losing my belief justice does exist.

Bush is desperately seeking ways to avoid prosecution at the Hague for his many war crimes in both Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a long and "tortured" story about how Bush and his cabal have hijacked the apparatus of government and intimidated the Congress. The obvious motive is money --millions made by defense contractors whose business is killing people. It includes Blackwater, another name for Murder, Inc. It's about war, crimes and torture. It's about a "President" who has committed capital crimes and re-wrote the law to absolve himself.

...Found in a recent Keith Olbermann broadcast:

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell tells G-Q magazine he is "sorry" he gave the world wrong information when he told the U-N of the threat Iraq supposedly posed.

Olbermann makes the case that the Bush administration is habitually wrong because being wrong or, worse, a bald faced liar is rewarded. The Bush administration is 180 degrees out of phase with every good and human value be it secular or religious.

The last paragraph is only partly joking; the Nigerian part is no joke.
