Simon Phipps's personal commentary

Saturday, July 27

Anyone seen 'Wag The Dog'? This article from Truthout says that there will be a US-Iraq war this October, that the forces are already essentially committed, that it's not necessary in international terms and that it's being conducted to create the necessary patriotic fervour to get Bush the domestic political advantage he needs. Scary stuff. Not hard to believe. Michael Moore (of "Stupid White Men" (US|UK) fame) suggests Americans contact the Senate right now to get a key witness in front of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Oh, and the Ironic Times has a feature on How US Foreign Policy is Made.
