Is Bush out of his mind? - "Israel model for Iraq, says Bush"

Just read the news on BBC today with the most stupid comment made by Bush.

This guy is either a complete idiot who does not know anything about international relation or he is too arrogant and does not give a shit about what he is saying (and actually believe in it).

He compares Iraq with Israel and wants to use Israel as an example of how the security problem in Iraq can be solved! Hallo, look at Israel today, do you call it the safest country on this planet?

And he really thinks that when he talks about Israel in this way: “The difference is that Israel is a functioning democracy and it’s not prevented from carrying out its responsibilities. And that’s a good indicator of success that we’re looking for in Iraq.”

He will win the heart and mind of the Arab world?

I think he just gave a rain check for a few hundred suicide-bombing-volunteers to Osama Bin Laden and other Anti-American extremists.

His quotes and messages are the best recruiting material for those guys. The only thing they need to do now, is to tell the Iraqis (who have seen the ugly image of Israel’s “democracy” for years), that Bush wants to turn their county to another Israel.

They have to guess who will play the Israeli’s role and who will play the Palestinians role in this “fabulous” plan, not mentioning the discrimination Israel’s arab citizens are facing every day as this article describes:

Comprising roughly 18 percent of the country’s population, Israeli Arabs like Kaadan pay taxes, vote in Israeli elections and speak Hebrew. Tired of being treated as a second-class citizen, Kaadan sued the state in 1995. On paper, he won. But in practice, Kaadan and many other Arabs are still waiting for Israel to uphold their basic human rights.Maybe someone should remind Mr. Bush, that his audience are not only his New Born Christians who see Israel as the promised land, but a country where colonial occupation is treating indigenous citizens like animals with no rights to either land, safety or security.

The Jewish only state of Israel, like the “for white Only” state of Apartheid South Africa can not be a model for a civilized society, unless they are looking for a never ending war between fractions (with the Americans in between) and a never ending occupation of the Iraq (with a cost that will break the US economy in the long run), the Americans have to rethink their options if they really believe Israel is a good model for the future of Iraq.

None of the movie was surprising to anyone who has studied the dysfunction that is the American health care system, but it was nonetheless perfectly made - a mix of dark humor and tragedy that lived up to the "I laughed, I cried" cliche of the modern day movie reviewer. Then, tonight, I attended a big health care rally at the Colorado Capitol with Michael Moore. You can watch some video excerpts I got of Moore's speech here on YouTube.

IRAN WAR WILL BE NUCLEAR- Gen Pace gave us a warning dont ignore it

US-Isreal attack against Iran has been finalized and Isreal is training their troops for an air attack right now. Bush Pentagon rewrote US war doctrine to PERMIT use of Nuclear weapons regardless of their illegality and immorality- why REWRITE unless serious about it?I can not confirm this comment from Digg:The US television network CNN apologized to the Islamic Republic of Iran for twisting the remarks of Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadineyad, during a news conference broadcasted live on January 14, 2006. The CNN interpreter put in the mouth of the President the following words: “We believe that all nations should be authorized to have nuclear weapons” and the West should not “prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons”. But what Ahmadineyad said was that “Iran has the right to nuclear energy”. The Iranian President, however, had made it very clear that Iran was a nation “culturally and historically rich” enough that did not need to equip itself with nuclear weapons. But the television network believes that it was just a simple “translation mistake”. The United States is trying to convince the international community that Iran is secretly planning to develop nuclear weapons, although the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have said that no evidence has been found whatsoever that would corroborate such accusation. CNN apologized for this mistake but the propoganda media is using it to decieve people into another war. WE ARE BEING LIED TO and after seeing what Cheney is saying now and all the lies that got is into the Iraq war- why is it so hard for people to realize that we are being LIED TO AGAIN for another war. The administration has a track record of lies and the media than and now fed these lies to the public- why are people still so stupid and believe this crap? http://www.voltairenet.org/article133907.htmlhttp://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17902.htm- Use this link

Ron Paul: Have We Forgotten 2003 Already?

his resolution is an exercise in propaganda that serves one purpose: to move us closer to initiating a war against Iran. Citing various controversial statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, this legislation demands that the United Nations Security Council charge Ahmadinejad with violating the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.Having already initiated a disastrous war against Iraq citing UN resolutions as justification, this resolution is like déja-vu. Have we forgotten 2003 already? Do we really want to go to war again for UN resolutions? That is where this resolution, and the many others we have passed over the last several years on Iran, is leading us. I hope my colleagues understand that a vote for this bill is a vote to move us closer to war with Iran.Clearly, language threatening to wipe a nation or a group of people off the map is to be condemned by all civilized people. And I do condemn any such language. But why does threatening Iran with a pre-emptive nuclear strike, as many here have done, not also deserve the same kind of condemnation? Does anyone believe that dropping nuclear weapons on Iran will not wipe a people off the map?

Turning Whole Plants into Fuel in Four Simple Steps

A new process can turn plants into energy-dense fuel by combining the power of fermentation and chemical reactions.A recipe for fuel: take the carbohydrates like starch and cellulose that make up the majority of plants. Use enzymes to break them down into fructose, the sugar found in fruits and honey. Mix this fructose with salt water and hydrochloric acid. Add a solvent—in this case butanol also derived from plant matter—to protect the resulting hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from reacting with the water, then extract it. This versatile molecule can be used to create plastic polymers or other chemicals. And by the way, adding a copper-coated ruthenium catalyst can also convert the HMF to DMF (2,5-dimethylfuran), a fuel that provides more energy than ethanol."It should be a great fuel," says James Dumesic, a chemical engineer at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, who, along with his colleagues, discovered the new process, "DMF has the energy density of petroleum."
