VP Cheney shoots somebodyShould the person VP
Cheney shot on the weekend be classified as "collateral damage" or as
"battled hardened"? Multi-millionaire Harry Wittington might be giving less to
Republican campaign causes this year. I know I would be. This man has also got
more coverage in the American press than the previous 10,000 people killed by VP
Cheney and his regime in Iraq deliberately or accidently (how can you kill
someone "accidently" when you invade their country?). George W. recently
admitted to 30,00 deaths in Iraq. A couple of years ago a more honest figure was
100,000 plus. Now it is closer to 175,00. I predict about 750,000 before the
Americans are forced to withdraw, especially if a new "bombing campaign" (à
la Cambodia) is used to mask a "troop withdrawal". More from Counterpunch
. Jim
Lobe has a good piece as well. The
Independents ' take on things.
