A 'just' War or a Rich Boy's Playground?

It still feels incredible that the Iraq War actually took place. The whole question of weapons of mass destruction and the connection between Saddam and al-Qaeda still seems disturbing to say the least. Take the time to dig a little deeper though and you'll find the truth which is nothing more than a modern day horror story, filled with morally corrupt monsters pushing the war agenda for the sole motivation of sating their insatiable greed. As James Scahill's book on Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army asks, shouldn't this kind of scene belong in a James Bond movie? I'd wish someone could tell me this wasn't the truth.

Bush in Albania: The mystery of wristwatch one



You really got to love this one. Georgie boy believing he's getting a hero's welcome gets his watch lifted whilst his crack security guards look on oblivious to the crime. Little did they know that the whole crowd was in on the stunt to distract "arrogant American imperialist" and then sell on Ebay. What value would the preseident's wristwatch one fetch? Anything close to Albania's trade defecit? Whatever, I think George would do much better by replacing his security team with Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys.
