The best Democracy money can buy

30 August 2005 | 10:44 | FOCUS News Agency



Baghdad. The United States have offered to Sunni representatives USD 75 Million to sign the draft Constitution of Iraq, RIA Novosti announced, citing information of source close to the Constitutional Committee of the country, published in the Saudi daily Al Vatan.

Why is Fogg reading Bulgarian newspapers? Perhaps because the sanitized, filtered, abridged, pasteurized and skimmed news we get from the Party controlled media is designed to mislead rather than to inform. If the US media is not giving us the true story – something both sides of the aisle agree upon - the preponderance of evidence seems to me to suggest that despite the assurances of the Right, the war is not going well and the attempt to start a Western style democracy on the holy sands is not going well either. I didn’t need Focus News to tell me that we are quite willing to acknowledge the legitimacy of a corrupt puppet government in Iraq as long as we’re doing the corrupting.

We’re building those military bases in Iraq for the long run because we intend to be there for the long run and we can’t be there for the long run and allow Iraq to evict us militarily or democratically. I’ll leave it to you to determine the motives.
