This situation is amusing to some analysts who know that the ‘winner’ of the Iraq intervention is Israel. Unlike the public, analysts do not have short memories or suffer from bias induced blindness. It was clear that following the missile attacks on Israel by Saddam Hussein, Jewish interests were compelled to remove this dictator from power and eliminate any further threat from Iraq. It was relatively easy to lure the ‘avaricious pig’ to the trough of Oil – a brilliant incentive to invade an eliminate Saddam. read full story / add a comment

The 32 CSM totally condemns the harassment of a Derryman by MI5 in Spain earlier this week. This man worked tirelessly with the Irish Republican Prisoners Welfare Association ( http://32csm.netfirms.com/irpwa.html ) on behalf of Republican prisoners before going to Spain to work. He was approached by two armed MI5 agents in a bar in a small village in the mountains of Catalonia last Wednesday. They were backed-up by a further five armed agents. Their purpose was to try to get this man to work for them as an agent on his return to Derry. read full story / add a comment
