***WAR NEWS*** Remember those thousands of Iraqi POWs? The US military has admitted that their claims regarding the capture of 8,000 soldiers were false. The soldiers "captured" by the US military are currently battling against British forces near Basra. Go figure.
Meanwhile, during a speech on Wednesday to the Russian Federation Council, Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov warned that US officials may plant evidence of WMD in Iraq, in order to justify the war now being fought. Wel duh! Congratulations for catching up. We all knew this would happen anyway. Yellowtimes.org has has articles and speculation on this for a few months now.
Meanwhile, Richard Perle, the head of the Defense Policy Board (which is the primary board that advises Rumsfeld) has just resigned. The pentagon announced it's sending 120,000 more troops to Iraq. (The new troops will include more heavy mechanized divisions.) And the US delegation to the UN walked out today while the Iraqi representative was speaking. I think it's slowly dawning on Rumsfeld, Bush and Blair that they've got themselves another Vietnam right here. It's turning very nasty.
