Guardian: As Usual Quite A Story Today!
cobalt123 18:25h


Cobalt is wondering just exactly how long it will be now, that this story makes it's way into American news? My long-standing opinion is that one should look into "major newspapers" oh, say around page 17 for a teensy article in the back of the first section. Then, if the story is starting to "catch" interest, the next day it will be a little bit more of a story on page 4 or 5. Finally on the third day, it may make it to page 1 or 2, IF. Let's see how this one progresses. I can do nothing better to comment than to post the first part of this article from the Guardian Special Report.

World set back 10 years by Bush's new world order, says Blair aide

Paul Brown, environment correspondent
Wednesday April 14, 2004
The Guardian

"George Bush has had a "devastating impact" on global sustainable development and set the world back more than ten years, says Jonathon Porritt, the prime minister's senior adviser on the subject, today.

Writing in Guardian Society Mr Porritt, who is the chairman of the Sustainable Development Commission, says it is hard to exaggerate the damage done to the planet by Mr Bush's drive for a "new world order".

On a whole series of issues including climate change, international aid, family planning, nuclear proliferation, trade and corporate responsibility, "staying true to a discredited model of extreme economic liberalism has set the world back a decade or more", says Mr Porritt.

"Gees Louisehad" American jihad continues
cobalt123 16:20h


Tool on over again to David Sirota's blog where he notes that Negroponte has been named amBUSHador to Iraq. What "incredible heaviness of being" (ie. denseness factor) contributes to continued missteps in "managing" our US jihad against Iraq and all dem dat oppose "us" (well, oppose the Bushies I mean)! The Crusades (American style, complete with Aye Ayatollahs of the Bush species) continue to appall many Americans. The particular comment that caught my eye was this:

"Somehow, the White House thinks it is more important to have a conservative ideologue whose specialty (is) Latin American covert operations in Iraq, rather than a Mideast expert who speaks Arabic."
And the second point:

"Essentially, America's first envoy to the new Iraq was a figure who indirectly helped wage a war against Iraq - a fact that might not go over too well in an Iraqi society that still can remember the bitter Iran-Iraq war."
