Saddam Hussain Capture

The videos shown of the captured Saddam and the prior films show a different hairline, nose, lips, ears and eyebrows; and there are marks on the forehead.

The people of Iraq said this is not Saddam, what's your take? Do you investigate or accept the us media stories?

Michael Childress

Editor: His daughters in Amman, his cousin in Baghdad, and demonstrators in Kirkuk and Mosul believe he is Saddam.

 

 


 

My Apology for my Government

As an American, I want to apologize for my government’s support of Israel by the weak response to Aerial Sharon’s provocation and his undermining of the Palestinian peace process.

I want to apologize for the moral cowards the American people elect year after year, and hope you all realize that they are not told the truth by the pro-Israel American Media, which has a habit of lying to the American people. Ignorance however is no excuse for supporting politicians that are turning us into a Banana Republic run by Zionist warmongers.

We should know better and I hope will soon change this terrible direction we have chosen and reach out to the Arab and Muslim world with a hand offered in Peace and cooperation.

Thank You

Night Light Bright

 

Genevieve Cora Fraser

12/22/03

 

 

Bruised flesh, battered minds

Cast in the glow of an exile’s campfire

The rubble existence of the freshly homeless

Made Bedouin cast to the night

Bulldozed fright in a child’s eyes

Pleading to go home

 

 

A campfire journey

Lost in thought a man sits

Beyond indignation

Past resignation

Incensed

Across the fence

A messianic fervor entitled

Beats the drum for a triumphal

Entry to the land promised

Not by G-d but by Zionist

Messenger

 

Tribal camps dot the landscape

Await the verdict of the world

The first shall be

Last shall be lost

In the outcome steeped in shame

What gains the world if lost the soul?

 

 

The word was made flesh

And dwelt among the rubble

In Palestine the angels came

And dwelt within the ghosted

Olive orchards

 

(Zionist word

Un-sacred

Is voiced in lies)

 

A child was born and dwelt among them

By the campfire exiled

Under the night sky’s canopy

A shining star guided the way

Home to Palestine shrunken

Shrinking, a speck of its former self

Yet living

 

He dwelt among them in their darkest hour

Pin-pricked with stars

He knew them as His own

In the barnyard beginning of belief

He dwelt in Peace

 

Sharon is shrunken

Is shrinking

His triumphal entry

Melting into the mist

Of wishful thinking

Palestine

Is beyond his grasp

A glowing ember

To light the world
