The planned American University of Iraq

…is modeled after the famous private universities in Cairo and Beirut. The project’s managers have a board of trustees; a business plan recently completed by McKinsey & Company, an international consulting firm; three candidates for university president; and $25 million, much of it in pledges from the American government and Kurdish sources. To fulfill their dream, they need much more: $200 million to $250 million over 15 years, said Azzam Alwash, the board’s executive secretary.

    “UN rights chief asks Iraq stop executions”
    http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070103/wl_canada_nm/canada_iraq_saddam_arbour_col_1
    “United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour on Wednesday appealed to
    Iraq not to execute two ex-officials from the administration of former president Sadam Hussein.
    An earlier appeal from Arbour not to carry out a death sentence on Saddam himself, executed last Saturday, was brushed aside by the authorities in Baghdad.
    Arbour said she had sent her latest appeal — referring to Saddam’s half-brother and former intelligence chief Barzan al-Tikriti and a former chief judge, Awad al-Bander — directly to Iraqi President Jalal Talabani.
    “International law, as it currently stands, only allows the imposition of the death penalty as an exceptional measure within rigourous legal constraints,” said the former Canadian High Court justice.
    She said concerns that she expressed about the fairness and impartiality of Saddam’s trial applied equally to the other two men, whose appeals against sentence — like that of Saddam — have been rejected.
    “I have therefore today directly appealed to the President of the Republic of Iraq to refrain from carrying out these sentences,” Arbour declared.
    Under Iraq’s international obligations, she said, the Baghdad government was bound to give the two men the opportunity to seek commutation of the sentence or pardon.”

  5. Revenge Is Justice
    Front Page Magazine ^ | January 3, 2007 | David Horowitz
    It’s a pinch myself day when the lead news story is about recriminations and regrets that Saddam Hussein, a man who incarnates evil, was not treated more decently at his belated hanging. And the editorial hand-wringing is that this was revenge not justice. As though being nice to someone who put human beings in plastic shredders — head first — and boiled even his relatives in oil, would make us more civilized rather than less.
    Revenge is justice. Saddam should have been drawn and quartered. The best thing about his execution was the presence of Shi’ia muslims taunting him with the memory of one of his Shi’ia victims.
    The shameless left and shameless liberals who would have kept this monster in power and are now shedding tears over the fact that he was killed should have the decency to let the Iraqis have their moment of revenge, pitiful as it is compared to the crimes this monster committed.
    Thankfully, at least one liberal — the editor of the New Republic Marty Peretz — has had some sensible things to say on this subject in today’s Wall Street Journal….-

  6. Cbc news has the story on this liberal who was arrested. I don’t know how to provide links,so if you go to cbc news,then PEI,you should be able to find it. He was arrested a couple of weeks ago,but I guess in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season the msm failed to notice until now.

    If she got blown up and killed, it would be a great day for America. That skanky conservo-whore is a disgusting piece of shit. She supports illegal detention of US citizens. Malkin is a fucking cunt.

    It’s nice to see a true chickenhawk venture into Iraq, protected as she will be and not in the military. But it’s all for show. Malkin is a P.O.S. whose only followers are slack-jawed, knuckle-dragging rethugs and christofascists.

    Michelle should be fighting on the front lines and let her family pay for her body armor and body bag, just like so many troops are forced to do so. Being that she is such vocal cheerleader for this war, she wont need counseling after getting gang raped in appreciation for her war cheerleading skills.

Fear not my young cherub, for the POL, fortified by it’s holy warriors like Father Dobson and Rev Falwell, can save you. Note that everyone here wants Malkin to die over there.

Then again, maybe you are in a food coma now, what with the extra-inane babbling, there must be a reason. Malkin is evil, and SHE is the racist. She was in favor of the Japanese internment camp, one of the most embarassing episodes in the U.S.’s history. What would Father Dobson say? Oh yeah… probably that Jesus hates Japanese too…

    Malkin is a pathetic loser. She doesn’t have one scrap of integrity, and the only journalistic skill she has is being one of the few good-looking “conservative” women on TV. Thus, she deserves whatever she gets if she’s stupid enough to go to Iraq. Here’s a thought: since you all love her so much, why don’t you join her? I’ll bet your support of the war would last up to the exact moment you exit the Green Zone and the first IED blows your arm off. Awwwww, sorry, I was wrong to suggest you actually accept the consequences of your warmongering!!! What was I thinking?!!!

    It’s not a good thing when the recipient of our wealth and raw material is making warlike noises, not only with respect to its neighbours, but through a senior Chinese general who recently made some not too oblique references to China’s capability to drop missiles onto the U.S.A.
    We learned a hard lesson when we helped to build the Japanese and German war machines by selling them the metals that they needed. In the first months of the war, Germany even continued to acquire Canadian nickel from Sweden. Apparently, the hard lesson has been forgotten except by a few old farts like me.
    The worst part of all this is that, because Chinese goods are “cheap” we have allowed the North American industrial base to decay to the point that, if war breaks out, China will be in the position of America in WWII, when U.S. industrial might was the key to allied victory. Imagine China able to turn out an endless stream of war material while North American industrial plants are in ruins. The term “rustbelt” is no exageration and, to me, it’s scary as hell.

    anyway, regarding iraq and troop levels, lemme see if Ive got the equation right here:
    3,000 dead american armed forces personnel =
    economic rebirth etc and much expanded liberty for iraqis
    is that it in a nutshell?
    who made the deliberate calculated decision that this was the way it was going to be?
    was rumsfeld horror of horrors, WRONG in his sales pitch/assessment of the time frame? cant have it both ways folks !!! so is it or is it not the methods selected to free iraq from saddam ???
    a continuing daily sacrifice of american lives so that a lot more iraqis can engage in business and not fear saddam will target them for his next mass murder spree?
    if thats the case, what’s ‘in it’ for the americans other than some brownie points and a lot of flak ???
    O-I-L
    got that? OIL. and lots of it.
    cant have it both ways !!!
    either rumsfeld fuked up the estimates (or lied about his real plans) or the decision has not been fully and openly acknowledged that THIS is going to be the M.O. in iraq, continue to give up a couple dozen americans every month so that iraq can have free elections and economic renewal.
    which is it?
    and another thing: saddam is kaputnick and no wmds threaten if there ever were any in meaningful numbers.
    why not gtf out then ??? like the carrier banner said: “mission accomplished”. or do americans just like to pick a fight?

    Thanks for the Surge link. Damned good stuff. That article should be nailed to the door of every WalMart, CrappyTire, Future Shop etc. and tatooed on the belly of every North American politician. Without the factories for small stuff, our entire manufacturing base will ultimately go down the toilet. Will? Shit, we already don’t import just consumer goods but heavy equipment. Even Paul Martin’s ships are built in China now.
    Rome became weak and vulnerable when its proud and independent citizen farmers were impoverished and moved to town to live more or less on the dole, while defense of the empire was relegated more and more to mercenaries. North America is becoming vulnerable because young people who can’t find high-paying jobs making steel or building ships aren’t learning to do anything but flip burgers and guide tourists!
    It’s interesting that people as politically opposed as you and I, plus the machinists union and, I presume, D.J. McGuire et. al. are on the same page on this, so maybe there’s still hope, but I don’t count on it. Anyway, the balloon won’t go up for a few years yet, and by then I’ll be on the wrong side of the grass, so F*** it.

    got that? OIL. and lots of it.”
    Let me get this straight. You’re saying that America sent 150000 troops halfway around the world of oil. Sent them to a country where very few people speak English, where most of the residents of the region are anti-USA. And then, rather than simply surrounding and defending the oil fields and pipelines, the American soldiers spent their time placating the cities. Also, rather than taking all the oil for the USA, they made sure that the oil profits went to the Iraqi people.
    Now contrast that idea with this: Alberta has more than half of the world’s supply of oil. The USA could roll the tanks north from Montana for about ten hours and take over the Athabasca fields with little resistance. The population speaks English and is mostly pro-USA. Alberta is easily reachable from dozens of existing military bases on US soil.
    If it was all about oil, wouldn’t they invade Alberta rather than Iraq? and wouldn’t they, you know, keep the oil themselves no matter where they invaded?
    Sheesh. Learn to use Occam’s razor.

  42. 2006 Was Good. 2007 Will Be Better.
    Written by William E. Demers:
    Canadians have a lot to be proud about this new year and a lot to look forward to for 2007.
    Excerpt:
    This past year has been one of true Canadian action both at home and abroad. Harper is well on his way to untying the statist knot that is suffocating Canadian potential and ambition. Since 2006 Harper and his new Conservatives have done the following:
    * Passed the Accountability Act.
    * Lowered the GST from 7% to 6%.
    * Invested in childcare through the private sector to match natural market trends, instead of artificially driving them (while allowing parents to make the choices, not the government).
    * Given tax credits to Tradespeople, Transit Users and Families who spend money buying equipment for their children who engage in sports, dancing and other physically engaging activities.
    * Continued our mission in Afghanistan and supplied our military with the funds and resources they need to keep our men and women safe and to keep peace in Afghanistan.
    * Raised the age of consent to protect children and punish child molesters.
    * Tackled drugs and gun related crimes by imposing sentencing suitable to destructive members of society who pose great risk to law abiding Canadians.
    * Ended the income trust tax loophole, thereby preventing corporate tax burdens to fall onto the shoulders of individuals.
    * Proposed Canada’s first Clean Air Act.
    * Cut wasteful spending to special interest groups that served select Canadians, instead of all Canadians.
    * Ended our affiliation with the outdated Kyoto Accord that the Liberals neglected for so long, and that would have sunk our country to third world status (had we actually fulfilled its requirements).

  45. Is there any way we can get these cheap Chinese cars to Pairis for the annual new years Car bonfire?

  46. The reason that cars cannot not be built in North America has more to do with Management inthe pas 40 years at GM and Co. that the mortagaged the future with very generous pension schemes, etc… to buy labour peace then.
    Look at the balance sheets of GM and Co. It’s kinda shocking, these aren’t car companies anymore, they have become pension funds / financial companies with an incidental car building arm.
    Their cost base is so high that they make a lot less money per car than the competition … and so the amounts left over for R&D, re-investment,(quality – though they have improved) are strongly squeezed.
    How long will it be before Chinese auto-makers decide: “F-it, let’s export our cars direct.” and set up their own dealership networks… which is what the US Car makers are selling right now with Chery.
    I give it 15 years.

  47. Lawsuits have B.C. veterinary association facing ruin
    The B.C. Veterinary Medical Association is facing possible financial ruin and the resignation of its staff and volunteers because of lawsuits, and a punishing new insurance policy that calls for a $50,000 deductible for each new claim….
    At issue are lawsuits launched by B.C. Veterinarians for Justice, an association of 37 predominantly Indo-Canadian and foreign-trained veterinarians, formed in 2002.
    They claim the BCVMA discriminates against Indo-Canadian vets by demanding they pass English-language proficiency tests before being granted licences to practise.
    Those vets say the tests were introduced because BCVMA members were angry that Indo-Canadian veterinarians were charging significantly less for basic veterinary procedures, such as spaying or neutering a dog or cat, than other BCVMA members were charging…

  48. Here come the Democrats.
    Proposed changes to the US Constitution (from the gates of Vienna):
    “If you think I’m being paranoid or overreacting, then you haven’t seen Rep. John Conyers’ proposed kid-gloves-for-the-Koran resolution, H. Res. 288:”
    Be it resolved, that the House of Representatives —
    1. condemns bigotry, acts of violence, and intolerance against any religious group, including our friends, neighbors, and citizens of the ISLAMIC FAITH;
    2. declares that the civil rights and civil liberties of all individuals, including those of the ISLAMIC FAITH, should be protected;
    3. recognizes that the QURAN, THE HOLY BOOK OF ISLAM, as any other holy book of any religion, should be treated with dignity and respect; and
    4. calls upon local, State, and Federal authorities to work to prevent bias-motivated crimes and acts against all individuals, including those of the ISLAMIC FAITH.
    “This is pernicious on so many levels that it’s hard to know where to start. It asserts that one person’s right to be respected overrides another person’s right to speak freely. It singles out a single religion, Islam, for special treatment. It accords the holy book of the Muslims more respect than is owed the flag of the United States.
    This is a CAIR-sponsored Trojan horse, ready to be rolled through the gates into the First Amendment. And its sponsor is about to become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.”
    I’d say this is particularly galling, when like the British Muslim on trial, hate crimes are far more prevalent amongst Muslims than any other group.
