1/3rd of it's value, it is also true that oil is priced by the U.S.
dollar.

Hawking brands Iraq deaths a crime
MICHAEL SETTLE November 03 2004

Stephen Hawking, Britain's best-known scientist, last night branded
the 100,000 civilian deaths in Iraq a war crime.

As he made his unsual foray into politics, Geoff Hoon, the defence
secretary, told MPs the countdown to the end of the Black Watch's
30-day redeployment had begun, meaning their task will end on or by
December 2.

Professor Hawking told an event in Trafalgar Square, organised to
remember those killed in Iraq, that the conflict was based on two
lies.

"The first was we were in danger of weapons of mass destruction and
the second was Iraq was somehow to blame for September 11.

"It has been a tragedy for all the families that have lost members.
As many as 100,000 people have died, half of them women and
children. If that is not a war crime, what is?" - Hawking

The government has urged caution about the 100,000 estimate,
proffered by US scientists, because it was based not on an actual
bodycount but on extrapolation. A previous estimate was 15,000
deaths.

Hawking was among celebrities who read 5000 names of those who have
died in Iraq. The event, organised by CND and Stop the War Coalition
to coincide with the US presidential election, took place in
parallel with similar readings in 28 cities in Europe, Australia,
the US and Iraq.

Hawking, author of the best-selling A Brief History of Time and who
is wheelchair-bound with motor neurone disease, was joined by Ken
Livingstone, the London mayor, and Harold Pinter, the playwright.
At the Commons, Mr Hoon told the defence committee the Black Watch
had achieved full operational capability yesterday and he was
confident they would be back in their base within 30 days.

Asked if the Scottish soldiers would act as "ratcatchers" to
intercept insurgents as they fled Falluja, the secretary of state
replied: "Essentially, their job is to maintain stability in a
particularly defined area; precisely what they have been doing in
the south."

However, he conceded: "If there is a significant operation against
Falluja, there will be a significant change in the level of activity
in the area the Black Watch are currently occupying."

MPs expressed disbelief when Mr Hoon revealed he had met Donald
Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary, a week before the American
request for the Black Watch to redeploy but had not mentioned it.
James Cran, the Tory MP for Beverley in Yorkshire, said he was
astonished there had been no high-level political contact.

Mike Hancock, Liberal Democrat MP for Portsmouth South, asked the
minister: "Your political counterpart meets you a week before and he
does not mention it to you. We are expected to believe that? It
simply does not stack up."

Mr Hoon said there had been no formal political request, which he
stressed underlined the government's repeated contention that it was
all done through the military.

Frank Roy, the Labour MP for Motherwell and Wishaw, pressed the
secretary of state over families of Scottish troops who felt
"confused, afraid and left in the dark" over the redeployment. He
also complained Scottish families had had to pay to send parcels to
their loved ones serving in Iraq.

Elsewhere, Clarence House announced the Prince of Wales would on
Saturday meet the families of Black Watch soldiers at the regimental
barracks at Warminster in Wiltshire.

In Iraq, car bombs killed at least a dozen people in Baghdad and
Mosul as pressure mounted on Iyad Allawi, the interim prime
minister, to avoid ordering a full-scale US attack on Falluja.
Mohammed Bashar al Faidhi, a spokesman for the Association of Muslim
Scholars, said his group would organise civil disobedience and
boycott the January elections.

Yes, that's why he wasted so much time working to get resolutions
passed, and sent Colin Powell to work for it,

This would be the Colon Powell who went to the U.N. and spent 1.5
hours
telling lie after lie about Iraq, and eventually having to resort to
holding
up fake viles of anthrax, and cartoons showing artists conceptions
of what
the he claimed Saddam had?

No.

For eight long years, whenever I objected to the co-Presidents using

personal aggrandizement and power of themselves and their cronies,
and moving their little Dixie Mafia from Little Rock to Washington,
I was dubbed a "Clinton hater."

We may disagree with the Mafia, and we may criticize the Mafia, but we
don't *hate* the Mafia. Granted, the Mafia may murder, kidnap, steal,
smuggle, and terrorize, but "hate" is a very strong word. It's a word
that you shouldn't just toss around, unlike the word "Mafia".

I'm just someone who's not a Clinton koolaid drinker

I don't, actually. Hate seems to be an extreme emotion that leftists

No, many people aren't leftists, who are also not George Bush. Also,
I never stated that only leftists feel hate. Many on the "right"
(whatever the heck that means) do to. As does, apparently, at least
occasionally, George Bush.

Apparently, you still need to work on that logic thing.
