Is this mike on?

Pakistan doesn't threaten Israeli interests, only American interests. Therefore they're not a threat in the eyes of the neocons. There's a consistent thread running through these stories - people who strike at the US are sidelined, while people who threaten Israel are demonised and require urgent and extreme action. Sometimes I wonder if American "patriots" prefer the Israeli flag to the Stars and Stripes.

Pakistan still doesn't recognise the State of Israel . Musharraf has set down the conditions for recognition , getting out of the occupied territories and creation of an independant Palestinian state .

As for the "Chirac" column, as a potato-eating surrender monkey, I guess I esteem that an honour. We've been right so far, haven't we?

Ooooooo nasty Banquo , what a put down
want to rub it in a bit more

I would have thought even dedicated Bushies would be tired of Americans returning in flag-draped coffins for no reason by now, but perhaps not.

Well they are , but they have a problem admitting to it .
