[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Canada: Losing Water Through NAFTA

'Under the North American Free Trade Agreement, Canada lost control over its energy resources. Now, with “NAFTA-plus”, it could also lose control over its freshwater resources, say experts. Canada’s water is on the trade negotiating table despite widespread public opposition and assurances by Canadian political leaders, said Adèle Hurley, director of the University of Toronto’s Programme on Water Issues at the Munk Centre for International Studies.'[/FONT]​

"Iran will not attack any country," Ahmadinejad told The Associated Press, when asked if his country would ever strike first against Israel. Iran has always maintained a defensive policy, not an offensive one, he said, and has "never sought to expand its territory."

History bears this out. Despite the pro-war rhetoric, the reality is that Iran does not initiate wars of conquest. Israel does and has. Israel just attacked Syria. A year ago they attacked Lebanon. As for nuclear threat, one and only one nation has ever actually used nuclear weapons against the civilians of another country, and that nation is the United States of America.

Is the Bush administration behind the bombings in Iran?
Two bombings this week in Zahedan in southeastern Iran are the latest in a series of incidents involving armed opposition groups based among the country’s ethnic minorities. The most recent attacks again raise questions about the activities of the US military and CIA inside Iran as the Bush administration intensifies its preparations for war.

Hi Stretch

I would be very cautious regarding the use of ABC as a news source with any credibility these days - they are on a kind of death struggle and are piling on tantalizing 'news' to gain an audience.

If the story looks interesting - but strange - you might want to check another source to back up the source if you find it simmering on ABC.

The media all go through these seizures at least once a year - ABC is having one right now.

The Truth About US Imperial Oil Wars Is Even Worse Than You Suspected

Germans now call Bush America's Hitler and they should know. Iran, meanwhile, has officially labeled the US army a "terrorist" organization.

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has consistently led the way in telling the story of what's really going on in Iraq and Iran. SPIEGEL ONLINE spoke to him about America's Hitler, Bush's Vietnam, and how the US press failed the First Amendment. Bush is accused of accepting 'Ethnic Cleansing'it's been underestimated how much the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) knows. If you follow what
(IAEA head Mohamed) El Baradei (more...) and the various reports have been saying, the Iranians have claimed to be enriching uranium to higher than a 4 percent purity, which is the amount you need to run a peaceful nuclear reactor. But the IAEA's best guess is that they are at 3.67 percent or something. The Iranians are not even doing what they claim to be doing. The IAEA has been saying all along that they've been making progress but basically, Iran is nowhere. Of course the US and Israel are going to say you have to look at the worst case scenario, but there isn't enough evidence to justify a bombing raid.

Hello Stretch. Of course evidence is not necessary, all that's required is a good story for the rubes.

Translation: I will start WW3 if Iran does not surrender its right to build nuclear power stations as set forth in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which both Iran and the US signed. I will do so becauise Israel, who did NOT sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and is building nuclear weapons, done told me too!

US Navy Begins Training Deployment to West Africa
Officials say the goal is to provide what they call a "persistent presence" in the Gulf of Guinea area, without needing to put large numbers of troops ashore. Officials say the ship, and another that will join the mission later, will train naval forces in 11 countries during a seven-month deployment. The Gulf of Guinea has significant strategic importance because a large percentage of U.S. oil imports flow through it and U.S. officials are concerned about organized crime, and potentially terrorism, in the region.

Translation: as the middle east continues to writhe in US generated agony, courtesy of its occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, Africa's resources (including oil) have, in many cases, been largely untapped. That's the next victim on the US's "hit parade" of accessing assets over which other nations have the gall to be located.

Bush Quips He Might Stay in Power
Reporter: Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment, he said recently that next year, when he has to step down according to the constitution, as the president, he may become prime minister; in effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there ...
Bush: I've been planning that myself. Ahahahahaha. That's funny. It's a great comedian who can give voice to what everyone else is just thinking.
