THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Bush's Pakistan 'buddy' cast adrift

GEORGE W.Bush has dumped Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, refusing to take a series of "help me" telephone calls from the man he once described as his "best buddy".

The US presidential snub came as American strategists warned that Pakistan's intensifying political power struggle was imperilling the battle against al-Qa'ida and the Taliban.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

Between Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, and the financial meltdown at home, Bush is so completely enmeshed and mired in the messes of his administration's own making, it's no wonder he won't take Musharraf's calls.

And what is scary is, there is still time for Bush and Cheney to create even more of a world of hurt between now and the end of their term in office.
