1. That is a GREAT Resource!
I was looking for something like that. They represent all points of view, too.
The Mail On Sunday, July 10, U.K.
Americans, Brits Prepare to Quit Iraq, Leaked British Document Shows
“Embarrassingly, the document says the Americans are split over the plan - and it suggests one of the reasons for getting British troops out is to save money.”

Le Figaro, July 11, France:
'Bush Fell Into' bin Laden's Trap
“The more democracy is forced to resort to illegal measures to fight the terrorist threat, the more it lessens its legitimacy.”

Korean News, July 12, North Korea
North Korea Says U.S. Tries to Brand It a 'Nuclear Criminal'
“We do not intend to possess nuclear weapons forever.”

La Razon, July 14, Bolivia
Burned Last Time, Washington Keeps Mum on Bolivian Elections
“For to function adequately, they must represent the aspirations of their constituents and not just select groups that hold all power.”

People's Daily, July 14, China
Beijing Asks Washington, 'Why So Many Secrets?'
“Too many secrets turn simple things into mysteries, 'mistaking the shadow of a bow in one's cup for a snake.'”

Rediff, July 19, India
New Deal With U.S. a 'Charter of Dependence'
“It can only lead to India's co-optation as a junior partner or client of the U.S., and erode its autonomy, dignity and independence.”

ar Al-Hayat, July 17, Lebanon
Terrorists Do Not Deserve Life!
“I was surprised in the months that followed the September 11 attacks that Arabs and Muslims, in their vast majority, have denied any responsibility for that horrendous crime.”
I may post the one on Bush's ancestor separately. That's bound to strike a chord.
