After two years of guerrilla warfare with almost dry supply lines, the Taliban are now in a position around the important cities of south and south-eastern Afghanistan to begin the next phase of their campaign to oust foreign troops from the country. At present, they are poised to close in on Qandahar, Khost, Jalalabad, Asadabad and Gardez.

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. A man such as Ariel Sharon, who epitomises the worst charicatures of the symbolic political pig, couldn’t have thought of a more fitting insult to the hopes for peace in the Middle East under his steerage than to enlist the unwilling help of factory farmed pigs in defence of the illegal settlements in Palestine, and their Zionist inhabitants.

With ethnic destruction continuing unabated in Palestine, from wall building to house demolition, most Palestinians are rendered powerless but defiant. Meanwhile in USA occupied Iraq, many Muslims are growing in confidence that they can resist the occupation of their country.

USA imperialism is not just going badly in Iraq. Following a dramatic increase in local resistance to the occupation of Afghanistan, and it’s rule by a USA-created oil industry government, the United Nations have confirmed that they are withdrawing from much of southern Afghanistan, which is now totally under the control of Taliban supporters.

According to Richard Cohen, of the Washington Post, Dick Cheney is in a class of his own, when it comes to lying about Iraq’s invisible ‘weapons of mass destruction’. He suggests that the USA Vice President ought to be censured by Congress. A few reading this web site may have better ideas for what to do with him…

If there is any doubt that Israel’s ‘separation barrier’ is a cynical and corrupt way of “creating facts on the ground”, effectively extending the borders of Israel into illegally occupied territory at the expense of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, reading this article will put you right.

This report shows with graphic detail how for weeks the Israeli army has been crushing resistance in the Palestinian refugee town of Rafah, in a manner which rivals the destruction of Jenin last year. But it is all carried in the name of ‘stopping terrorism’ so the international community has remained silent.
Gideon Levy
Who told the director of Military Intelligence, Major General Aharon Ze’evi to declare, “Better Palestinian mothers should cry and not Jewish mothers”? Is the head of army intelligence now also to be in charge of setting Israel’s moral priorities? And what prompted the commander of the Ground Forces, Major General Yiftah Ron-Tal, to decide that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat has to be liquidated?
Al Jazeera
Five Iraqis have been killed and several civilians seriously injured by USA troops on a day of resistance attacks that left about 20 occupation soldiers wounded.
