Wolf Brigade turns into Operation Lightening in Iraq

http://www.buzzflash.com/mailbag/05/07/mai05194.html

Subject: Bhagavad Gita …. “I Am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds!”

-snip-

You see, since May, Dr. Salihee, had been reporting on the similarities between the death squads used in El Salvador to obliterate their “insurgency” and the US military’s creation of the “Wolf Brigade” that has been unleashed to eliminate the Iraqi “insurgency.” Our government calls it "Operation Lightening.”

A humanitarian discussion took place between Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman and independent journalist the “no-spin” independent journalist Dahr Jamail! The eye-opening video is well worth listening to, as Mr. Jamail reveals on-the-scene reports and information you will NEVER hear from Bush or the MSM!

1. Say what....your link is to a chat page...do you have a link
...to someone who has researched this claim of "the US military’s creation of the “Wolf Brigade”"? Or are you talking specifically about this:

Subject: Bhagavad Gita …. “I Am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds!”

The War in Iraq is a quagmire no matter how Bush and the Republicans spin it. Under George W. Bush and because of his invasion of Iraq more terrorism, not only in Iraq, but in the world, is seen in a blow-back against the policies of Bush and Blair! Our soldiers’ deaths total 1767 now! In one week in Iraq, 170 people were killed in suicide bombings alone!

Even in Iraq, where shocking killings have become part of daily life, some acts are so profoundly violent that the country seems to pause, trying to fathom what happened. The New York Times reported in the same article, “The surge of suicide attacks torturing the capital has seemingly confounded Iraqi and American forces, which have focused their Baghdad security efforts on stopping the bombers. Attacks are often undetectable until the last seconds before detonation, especially in the case of moving car bombs, and nearby civilians can slow the reaction of security forces.” The deadliest attack came Saturday evening in the small town of Al-Musayyib, 60 kilometers south of the capital, where at least 71 were killed and 150 wounded.

Read this article and form your own opinion - the death is a fact!

He was on his way to drive his family to a swimming pool in western Baghdad when he was struck by a single bullet to head – he died instantly.

Some say he was an unintentional casualty of war. Some whisper “the wolves got him.”

Has Bush made Orwell’s 1984 a reality? “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face-forever!”

THE ILLUSION CONTINUES!

Trying to boost support for the PATRIOT Act, President Bush has been claiming in several post-election campaign appearances that the Act has been responsible for more than 400 arrests and 200 convictions of terrorists. However, an analysis by the Washington Post reveals that only 39 persons were convicted of crimes related to terrorism; most were convicted of immigration law violations. A better way to look at that would be that half of those arrested were not guilty of terrorism or that the government could not find enough evidence to pursue a case. Overall, conviction is a dismal 9.75 percent of those arrested. Now, let's look at those 39. The average sentence was less than a year, which puts it in the misdemeanor not felony sentencing guidelines. Of those 39, Bush and the Justice Department have repeatedly referred to the conviction of the Lackawanna Six, who were arrested near Buffalo, N.Y. The six young Yemeni-Americans readily acknowledged they had traveled to an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan and had heard a speech by Osama bin Laden. There was no evidence they ever participated in a terrorist threat or attack, or had plans to do so. A reality is that every one of those 39 convictions could have been obtained under laws that existed prior to the passage of the PATRIOT Act. And, we still haven't found Osama bin Laden.

Bush Watch...Walt Brasch

Robert King Merton wrote these words in “The Self–Fulfilling Prophecy" in 1948:

The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behavior which makes the originally false conception come true. The specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a REIGN OF ERROR! For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning!

P.S. ... in no way do I consider Bush a "prophet"! That happens only in his own mind, whereas I would spell it "Profit!"
