· EXCLUSIVE: BUSH'S TRILLION DOLLAR WAR - "If at the outset the Americans anticipated the Iraq operation would cost $100 billion, they could have given Saddam and his family $20billion to go, $50billion to Iraq and still have had $30billion left over. - "The UK would not have been involved, no-one would have died and no buildings would have been destroyed."

· Press Release from World Tribunal on Iraq - The Jury defined this war as one of the most unjust in history: ‘The Bush and Blair administrations blatantly ignored the massive opposition to the war expressed by millions of people around the world. They embarked upon one of the most unjust, immoral, and cowardly wars in history. The Anglo-American occupation of Iraq of the last 27 months has led to the destruction and devastation of the Iraqi state and society. Law and order have broken down completely, resulting in a pervasive lack of human security; the physical infrastructure is in shambles; the health care delivery system is a mess; the education system has ceased to function; there is massive environmental and ecological devastation; and, the cultural and archeological heritage of the Iraqi people has been desecrated.’

TVNL Comment: If this is true that means George W. Bush started a war without Congressional approval. This is an impeachable crime.

· Stifling Baghdad despairs as water cut adds to misery - "I now wish we could go back to Saddam's time. We suffered then, but not like the suffering nowadays. There is no water or electricity. I can't sleep because of the heat. How are we to live these lives of misery?"
TVNL Comment: Do we listen to Bush and our propaganda media or do we listen to the people tho the media and Bush claim to speak for? Why listen to anyone other than the people themselves?

If the building was solidly constructed it should have remained standing. - Neither of the above occurred. The "truss theory" is implausible. It is a fantasy concocted to conceal a demolition.
