I knew there was something awfully suspicious about the announcement, a few weeks ago, that most U.S. troops were going to be withdrawn from Saudi Arabia. After all, since when does the Empire hail a major retreat? And now my suspicions have been confirmed.... The...
Remember how the sanctions were the equivalent of "genocide" committed by the Evil American Imperialists against the Oppressed Peoples of Iraq? Well, that was then, according to Rahul Mahajan, writing on AlterNet, and reprinted in Counterpunch and Commie...
