The main objectives in Bush's illegal and immoral neo-colonial
bombing wars 10,000 miles away in Asia are:
1. Middle Eastern oil and gas - profits and global power
2. Caspian Region oil and gas - profits and global power
3. African-Sudan/Chad/Somalia oil and gas - profits and global power
4. Geo-political global access to/control over oil and gas resources,
pipelines, sea lanes and other transportation conduits - global power
5. Keep Israel as a rogue military fort/wedge in the Middle East -
global power
So Western nations attacked at least two countries in
two of these far-a-way regions, one in 2001, the other one in 2003
(not even counting the largely hidden attack on Somalia
with Ethiopian mercenary armies and bombers).
They still keep bombing these two countries daily, as many of the
'natives' do not want to bow or kneel for Western invaders, ever.
One would never know about these mass killings from
the air from the complicit mass media, masters of omission
and deception:
So the bombing and killing by American, Canadian, British/French/
NATO and Australian, mostly white Anglo-Saxon, invaders/
conquerors/occupiers of two sovereign Muslim
countries in Asia, is continuing unabated and unreported.
They are still trying to conquer two countries and squash
the legitimate rebellion of darker skinned, poor,
non-Christian people in their own countries.
As in so many other horrible colonial bombing wars in the past.
The invaders will keep killing large numbers of Afghan and Iraqi
citizens in their own countries every day,
'to liberate them for democracy' or
'to win the hearts and minds' or
'to help them re-construct their country'
(yeah right),
by raining death from the air.
Using the usual weaponry of modern barbarians:
'Technological might makes right' - which then makes
mass murder possible and acceptable.

3,139 bombing raids in the first 35 days of 2008 x an average
of 4 dead per raid (which is a very conservative estimate as
many bombs are 500lbs, 1000lbs or even 2000 lbs) =
an estimated 12,556 (!!!!) Afghans and Iraqis bombed to death
in their own countries in the first 35 days of 2008.
And this bombing and killing continues day in, day out,
with no end in sight.
Since October 2001 = now over 6 years in Afghanistan!
Since March 2003 = now nearly 5 years in Iraq!
A rough estimate of 2500 dead per week gives a gruesome
total death toll of over 130,000 resistance fighters bombed
to death in Afghanistan and Iraq ---- EVERY YEAR ---- !
Of course this is never mentioned in the media, we
always see estimates of civilian deaths and deaths from
sectarian violence, but our own much greater violence
is always omitted, always omitted. We know why.
This toll does not even include all the civilians burned to death
or crushed to death or buried alive when the terrible bombs
flatten the thousands of buildings and houses. They then
always claim it to be 'collateral damage', which somehow
is supposed to make it right. So the total death toll,
including all civilians, must be in the range of 15,000 -
20,000 - in 32 days. This is roughly ten times the
number killed in suicide bombings and sectarian
violence. So we know who the bigger mass killer is.
The slaughter in Iraq and Afghanistan is much worse than
the Russian slaughter in their invasion/occupation of Afghanistan
in the eighties. With the 'modern' and now much more lethal
and precise bombing firepower the scale of the mass
killing is at least triple. And all that in two illegal immoral
and shameful Western neo-colonial resource wars.
You would never know it from the mass media, all owned
by huge corporations, obtaining huge profits from war
at the government's troughs.
========================================
The usual lies, omissions and distortions from the BBC:
Musa Qala - Calm after fight for Afghan town
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7146440.stm
And what really happened: The British bombing an Afghan town
with mortars and driving the people out, and that will win the
hearts and minds? It is clear the invaders have learned nothing
in more than 6 years.
British 'success' under siege in Afghanistan
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/IL15Df03.html
The war on Afghanistan is illegal; the attack, invasion and
6-year occupation are all illegal under international law
and totally out of proportion with the WTC mass murder
by stateless terrorists. There were no Afghans on the
airplanes on 9/11. The attack and permanent
occupation and continuous bombing of this dirt-poor
country is total overkill. Punishment yes, 6 years
of occupation, conquest and bombing is immoral,
illegal and very ill-conceived, as it will never win
the hearts and minds of a proud and fiercely
independent Asian nation. They hate foreign invaders,
and with reason. So the Western conquerors
will bleed and bleed, a small trickle at a time,
but finally the invaders will not be able to stomach the hate,
the dead and the cost any longer.
Around a 100 bombing raids per day, day in, day out.
It is never even mentioned in the mass media. Every day
we are told about new sectarian violence or suicide bombings
by Afghans or Iraqis. Never about the much larger killing we do
every day. The masses are kept ignorant and so have no
idea of the daily human carnage and the wide-spread destruction
by our aircraft and bombers.
Did you notice we never see the bodies, never the effects of
our bombs, never the real horrors of war, never the destroyed
cities, never the destroyed houses, never the wounded,
never anything caused by our own gory and immoral violence?
Of course the Pentagon has thousands of photographs,
records and satellite pictures, but none of them will ever be
shown by the always collaborating corporate mass media.
The number of dead does not even include the many
resistance fighters and civilians killed each day by other occupier
violence, such as by cannon fire or missiles from helicopters,
by helicopter gunships, by mortars, by machine guns and snipers,
and maybe even by the always ongoing torture in prisons.
Of course one must always claim these are thugs and terrorists, one
can never call them resistance fighters or partisans (who have every
right to throw the conquering Western invader/occupiers out).
It is their land, it is as simple as that.
2. 60,000 Iraqi resistance fighters - men, women and children - now
in US concentration camps in Iraq ('Guantanamos' in Iraq itself):
http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/gallery/2007/sep/21/iraq.international...
http://tinyurl.com/2lvxe5
This does not even include all the ones in Iraqi-controlled jails, in
US camps in Afghanistan, and in Afghan-controlled jails.
3. A remarkable article about bombing non-Christian people
to smithereens in their own countries:
DEATH from ABOVE
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IG12Ak01.html
From Dresden and Tokyo to Hanoi, and now Iraq's Baquba
and Afghanistan's tribal villages, the US military has been
"HOOKED ON AIRPOWER".
That addiction will only grow stronger as US ground troops
gradually withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, increasingly
leaving civilians to continue to take the heat.

4. A FALLACY that BOMBS - literally
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IG12Ak06.html
US and Israeli reliance on air power to fight urban guerilla warfare
has unintended consequences. Dead civilians, decimated homes,
schools and hospitals strengthen and unify opponents and portend
an ominous future for US geopolitical goals.

Losing the 'other war' in Afghanistan?
By Karl F. Inderfurth
Published: May 29, 2007
WASHINGTON:
Controversy rages over the war in Iraq, but what about the so-called
other war in Afghanistan, for which there is immoral bipartisan
support in the United States and in the international community?
Is there a danger of losing in Afghanistan? The answer is yes.
My question: A 'danger'? That's silliness:
It is not a 'danger', it already is a fact:
This colonial war was lost a long time ago. As it was never about
winning the hearts and minds, but always about oil and gas and
pipelines and new military bases and access to Central Asia's
resources, i.e., about geo-political power and greed.
It is just a matter of time and the Western colonial invaders can no
longer sustain the slow but permanent and persistent bleeding in
money and casualties and will be forced to leave.
First, however, I'm sure they will kill many tens of thousands more.
We have seen immoral bombing wars and millions of dead before:
In Vietnam, another ill-conceived, immoral and illegal colonial
bombing war on darker skinned non-Christians in their own country.
3 - 4 million perished in the American orgy of colonial violence
in Asia. And a new horrible and racist orgy of violence by western
nations is happening again, now even in two countries in Asia
simultaneously.
There is no question whatsoever who or what the real
'axis of evil' is:
American and European and Australian, so-called 'Christian',
mainly Anglo-Saxon nations attacking, then illegally
occupying two dirt-poor foreign Muslim countries in Asia,
10,000 miles away from our shores.
Invaders who after more than 6 years of bombing Afghanistan and
more than 4.5 years of bombing Iraq still continue to bomb more
Muslim people to smithereens in their own countries.
And we know why.
UTTER CONTEMPT and TOTAL CONDEMNATION
When will we finally stop visiting so much horror on Iraq
and Afghanistan? A horror of now up to one million dead,
333 times the number of dead on 9/11.
9/11 being the liars' fabricated excuse for two senseless,
racist, illegal and immoral neo-colonial resource wars.
What a mass murder, what a shame, what a disaster,
what a misery, what a waste, what a crimes.
"IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE.................
LIVING LIFE IN PEACE.........................."
We miss you, John, and we are also very sad, you could have
galvanized many hundreds of millions all around the world
to stop the warmongering bastards.
Michael McKinley - USA
bombing wars 10,000 miles away in Asia are:
1. Middle Eastern oil and gas - profits and global power

3. African-Sudan/Chad/Somalia oil and gas - profits and global power
4. Geo-political global access to/control over oil and gas resources,

5. Keep Israel as a rogue military fort/wedge in the Middle East -

16 + 63 = 79 bombing raids on Afghans and Iraqis today
=============================================
Total = 98+104+103+92+88+75+103+97+91 +72+100
+98100+64+67+101+306+101+102+61+92+ 104
+ 81 + 76 + 91 + 90 + 90 + 80 + 65 + 100 + 100 +79=
3,139 bombing raids in the first 35 days of 2008 x an average
of 4 dead per raid (which is a very conservative estimate as
many bombs are 500lbs, 1000lbs or even 2000 lbs) =
an estimated 12,556 (!!!!) Afghans and Iraqis bombed to death
in their own countries in the first 35 days of 2008.
And this bombing and killing continues day in, day out,
with no end in sight.
Since October 2001 = now over 6 years in Afghanistan!
Since March 2003 = now nearly 5 years in Iraq!
A rough estimate of 2500 dead per week gives a gruesome
total death toll of over 130,000 resistance fighters bombed
to death in Afghanistan and Iraq ---- EVERY YEAR ---- !
Of course this is never mentioned in the media, we
always see estimates of civilian deaths and deaths from
sectarian violence, but our own much greater violence
is always omitted, always omitted. We know why.
This toll does not even include all the civilians burned to death
or crushed to death or buried alive when the terrible bombs
flatten the thousands of buildings and houses. They then
always claim it to be 'collateral damage', which somehow
is supposed to make it right. So the total death toll,
including all civilians, must be in the range of 15,000 -
20,000 - in 32 days. This is roughly ten times the
number killed in suicide bombings and sectarian
violence. So we know who the bigger mass killer is.
The slaughter in Iraq and Afghanistan is much worse than
the Russian slaughter in their invasion/occupation of Afghanistan
in the eighties. With the 'modern' and now much more lethal
and precise bombing firepower the scale of the mass
killing is at least triple. And all that in two illegal immoral
and shameful Western neo-colonial resource wars.
You would never know it from the mass media, all owned
by huge corporations, obtaining huge profits from war
at the government's troughs.
========================================
The usual lies, omissions and distortions from the BBC:
Musa Qala - Calm after fight for Afghan town
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7146440.stm
And what really happened: The British bombing an Afghan town
with mortars and driving the people out, and that will win the
hearts and minds? It is clear the invaders have learned nothing
in more than 6 years.
British 'success' under siege in Afghanistan
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/IL15Df03.html
The war on Afghanistan is illegal; the attack, invasion and
6-year occupation are all illegal under international law
and totally out of proportion with the WTC mass murder
by stateless terrorists. There were no Afghans on the
airplanes on 9/11. The attack and permanent
occupation and continuous bombing of this dirt-poor
country is total overkill. Punishment yes, 6 years
of occupation, conquest and bombing is immoral,
illegal and very ill-conceived, as it will never win
the hearts and minds of a proud and fiercely
independent Asian nation. They hate foreign invaders,
and with reason. So the Western conquerors
will bleed and bleed, a small trickle at a time,
but finally the invaders will not be able to stomach the hate,
the dead and the cost any longer.
Around a 100 bombing raids per day, day in, day out.
It is never even mentioned in the mass media. Every day
we are told about new sectarian violence or suicide bombings
by Afghans or Iraqis. Never about the much larger killing we do
every day. The masses are kept ignorant and so have no
idea of the daily human carnage and the wide-spread destruction
by our aircraft and bombers.
Did you notice we never see the bodies, never the effects of
our bombs, never the real horrors of war, never the destroyed
cities, never the destroyed houses, never the wounded,
never anything caused by our own gory and immoral violence?
Of course the Pentagon has thousands of photographs,
records and satellite pictures, but none of them will ever be
shown by the always collaborating corporate mass media.
The number of dead does not even include the many
resistance fighters and civilians killed each day by other occupier
violence, such as by cannon fire or missiles from helicopters,
by helicopter gunships, by mortars, by machine guns and snipers,
and maybe even by the always ongoing torture in prisons.
Of course one must always claim these are thugs and terrorists, one
can never call them resistance fighters or partisans (who have every
right to throw the conquering Western invader/occupiers out).
It is their land, it is as simple as that.
2. 60,000 Iraqi resistance fighters - men, women and children - now
in US concentration camps in Iraq ('Guantanamos' in Iraq itself):

This does not even include all the ones in Iraqi-controlled jails, in
US camps in Afghanistan, and in Afghan-controlled jails.
3. A remarkable article about bombing non-Christian people
to smithereens in their own countries:
DEATH from ABOVE
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IG12Ak01.html
From Dresden and Tokyo to Hanoi, and now Iraq's Baquba
and Afghanistan's tribal villages, the US military has been
"HOOKED ON AIRPOWER".
That addiction will only grow stronger as US ground troops
gradually withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan, increasingly
leaving civilians to continue to take the heat.

4. A FALLACY that BOMBS - literally
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IG12Ak06.html
US and Israeli reliance on air power to fight urban guerilla warfare
has unintended consequences. Dead civilians, decimated homes,
schools and hospitals strengthen and unify opponents and portend
an ominous future for US geopolitical goals.

Losing the 'other war' in Afghanistan?
By Karl F. Inderfurth
Published: May 29, 2007
WASHINGTON:
Controversy rages over the war in Iraq, but what about the so-called
other war in Afghanistan, for which there is immoral bipartisan
support in the United States and in the international community?
Is there a danger of losing in Afghanistan? The answer is yes.
My question: A 'danger'? That's silliness:
It is not a 'danger', it already is a fact:
This colonial war was lost a long time ago. As it was never about
winning the hearts and minds, but always about oil and gas and
pipelines and new military bases and access to Central Asia's
resources, i.e., about geo-political power and greed.
It is just a matter of time and the Western colonial invaders can no
longer sustain the slow but permanent and persistent bleeding in
money and casualties and will be forced to leave.
First, however, I'm sure they will kill many tens of thousands more.
We have seen immoral bombing wars and millions of dead before:
In Vietnam, another ill-conceived, immoral and illegal colonial
bombing war on darker skinned non-Christians in their own country.
3 - 4 million perished in the American orgy of colonial violence
in Asia. And a new horrible and racist orgy of violence by western
nations is happening again, now even in two countries in Asia
simultaneously.
There is no question whatsoever who or what the real
'axis of evil' is:
American and European and Australian, so-called 'Christian',
mainly Anglo-Saxon nations attacking, then illegally
occupying two dirt-poor foreign Muslim countries in Asia,
10,000 miles away from our shores.
Invaders who after more than 6 years of bombing Afghanistan and
more than 4.5 years of bombing Iraq still continue to bomb more
Muslim people to smithereens in their own countries.
And we know why.
UTTER CONTEMPT and TOTAL CONDEMNATION
When will we finally stop visiting so much horror on Iraq
and Afghanistan? A horror of now up to one million dead,
333 times the number of dead on 9/11.
9/11 being the liars' fabricated excuse for two senseless,
racist, illegal and immoral neo-colonial resource wars.
What a mass murder, what a shame, what a disaster,
what a misery, what a waste, what a crimes.

We miss you, John, and we are also very sad, you could have

to stop the warmongering bastards.
