The situation with the Green Zone is like Tet? I’d say it’s gonna be more like the Alamo.
How big is the Mehdi army ?, i read somewhere it’s about 50-60 thousand strong, is that right ?
Dang, Gareth Porter’s voice sounds just like Juan Cole’s. And Ray McGovern sounds just like George Carlin.
And Charles Goyette sounds like space ghost
Anders, can you get me “shoot food at hungry people”?
Think this is the one ?
Hey scott you should play that song i posted on my blog if you ever have time, it’s called ‘colony’ by an Irish guy called Damien Dempsey, some great lyrics in it-
“I look to the east, I look to the west
To the north and the south, and I’m not too impressed
Time after time
After crime after crime
They raped, robbed, pillaged, enslaved and murdered
Jesus Christ was their god and they done it in his name
So he could take the blame if it’s not all a game
With bible in one hand and a sword in the other
They came to purify my land of my Gaelic Irish mothers
And fathers, and sisters and brothers
With our own ancient customs, laws, music, art
Way of life and culture
Tribal in structure
We had a civilisation
When they were still neanderthal nations
We suffer with the Native American, the Indian in Asia
Aboriginal Australia
The African people with their history so deep
And our children still weep and our lives are still cheap
You came from Germany, from France, from England
And from Spain
From Belgium and from Portugal
You all done much the same
You took what was not yours
Went against your own bible
You broke your own laws
Just to out do the rival
But did you ever apologize
For the hundreds and millions of lives
You destroyed and terrorised
Or have you never realized
Did you never feel shame
For what was done in your country’s name
And find out who’s to blame and why they were so inhumane
And still they teach you in your school
About those glorious days of rule
And how it’s your destiny to be
Superior to me
But if you’ve any kind of mind
You’ll see that all human kind
Are the children of this earth
And your hate for them will chew you up and spit you out”

Is anyone else hearing a lot of rumors that President Cheyney is ordering an attack on Iran on April 4th or 6th? A friend mentioned hearing it, and LRC blogged it ( http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/020247.html ) along with this site from a quick Googling ( http://www.rense.com/general75/bite.htm )
Anders, how did I know as soon as I saw “the best of Space Ghost part 1″ that Knifin’ Around would be included?
…Scott…Dude…Did you say something about Beer at your new place in Austin?
Hey Scott, ya movin’ on up to the East side? Deluxe apartment in the sky??? I’d join ya if I could but I’m half a country away at the moment.
Classic space Ghost EvilPaul
RE the rumors of an Iran attack in April, that Rense piece is from last year isn’t it ?, that article is based on information from Webster Tarpley, i wouldn’t believe much of what he says.
I do recall the exact same rumor doing the rounds last year, perhaps they postponed it for a year and they’ll go ahead with it this april ? scott ritter has been saying the month of April could be an important month.
heres another one from last year-

>And Charles Goyette sounds like space ghost
That’s hillarious. Space Ghost Goyette. But seriously, sometimes I catch the show late and I don’t know who Scott’s interviewing and I think it’s Juan Cole but it’s Gareth Porter. After that happened a couple of times I tuned in one day in the middle of an interview and I said to myself well Scott’s interviewing Gareth Porter but it was Juan Cole. Go figure.
>One day there otta be a stress reunion at kaos.
Or at Scott’s new mansion.
Y’ notice Scott has been so cheery lately….I’ll let out the secret…..His favorite new TV show is about to air WED 04/02/08!!!!!
