The Singapore Forum

Worth watching, thanks for posting.

President Bush also gave something on 5 years in Iraq. Also very self-promoting too.

Very good work but disturbing.

Excellent stuff but as Sluggo says, also disturbing.

Some great images there. Fuck.

I have tried to evolve past my "I told you so mentality" - to actually attempt to understand a way forward. It is difficult to do however because every strategy is so flawed that it comes down to finding the least problematic. I don't think anything can happen though until there is the regeneration in the Whitehouse and a repudiation of the most incompetent President in US history. If you have a chance go to http://www.dailyshow.com - John Stewart is awesome and I love his reaction to watching Bush recount the challenges throughout his Presidency - at the end John Stewart says 'even I forget how much this guy sucks'.

Turning this around though and looking at the positives through a more conspiratorial perspective makes you ponder the motivations a little further. There are billions of barrells of oil in Iraq that cost as little as a dollar a barrell to extract - there is a new US embassy in Iraq that is bigger than the Vatican coupled with a very strong US military presence. The Empire - if you see it as such - is, through sheer military prowess, able to maintain its hegemonic position despite being the worlds biggest meanest welfare recipient.
