Exclusive interview of Ameer-ul-Momineen Mullah Muhammad Omar (Mujahid)

Q: What is the present relationship between the Taliban and Al Qaeda?

A: We have never felt the need for a permanent relationship in the present circumstances. But they [the Al-Qaeda] have set jihad as their goal while we have set the expulsion of American troops from Afghanistan as our target. This is the common goal of all the Muslims.

Q: Have you met Osama bin Laden since the Taliban were driven out of power in 2001?

A: I have neither seen him nor have made any effort to do so, but I do pray for his health and safety.

Taliban spokesman Dr Mohammad Hanif, who helped conduct the interview through email, said Mulla Omar read the questions and responded to them personally. He said that the questionnaire was delivered to him through a special emissary.

Here are the excerpts of Mulla Omar’s answers, which were in his native Pashto and their Urdu translation was delivered by Dr Hanif through email.

Q: Looking back, what mistakes do you think the Taliban made when they ruled Afghanistan -- mistakes that you would not want to repeat?

A: You know that our [Taliban] movement came to power at a time when Afghanistan was in a war-like situation. Though the Taliban had established its writ in areas that they had conquered but we were still fighting our enemy [the Northern Alliance] in other parts of the country. We could have formed a real government had we achieved full and total control over the entire country and we did manage to run the government in an organized manner with the blessings of Shariah and divine laws. But if there were problems, those were largely because of the conspiracies of the infidels and foreign enemies. For instance, the imposition of sanctions on the Taliban, strengthening of anti-Taliban forces and preparing them to fight the Mujahideen.

Without doubt, had there been no such difficulty, we would have overcome those problems. But still I can say this with confidence that the way we managed to form a peaceful government, it could not have been done by anyone else.

Q: Do you think that your stand on giving refuge to Osama bin Laden before the US invasion of Afghanistan was a mistake. Do you regret it now?

A: Our stand to grant refuge to Osama bin Laden was based on principles. If there were people who were opposed to us giving refuge to him, they should have used logic and reason. They should not have used threats.

Q: Your refusal to hand over Osama bin Laden distanced Afghanistan from two of its allies, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia? Do you think it was the right decision?

A: I had never agreed to hand over Osama bin Laden to the United States. If someone says that I did, then they must have been dreaming. If we had wanted to hand over Osama, we would not have given such a big sacrifice.

Q: The Taliban earned international criticism for destroying the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas, closing down schools for girls and a strict interpretation of Shariah. When you look back, do you think those were right decisions?

A: Shariah is Sharia. A number of Muslims have been influenced by other civilizations and that's why they seem to find Islamic injunctions too difficult [to follow]. Girls schools were either too few or were non-existent before we took over. We were preparing a strategy for girls education in accordance with Shariah.

As for the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas, for the rest of the world it was a matter of [preserving] archeology. It had nothing to do with political or diplomatic matters.

Q: When the ulema shura asked Osama bin Laden to leave Afghanistan, why did he not leave. His refusal eventually led to the fall of the Taliban government after 9/11?

A: This is based on a big misunderstanding the media has created. There is no truth in it. If someone looks into it, they would find that the ulema had asked him to leave of his own accord. They had not told him to leave. On the contrary, the ulema had declared jihad against the United States in total opposition to his surrender to the Americans.

Q: Some analysts say that the Taliban were too weak to oust Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda from Afghanistan who were very strong? Is this true?

A: I have already answered this question.

Q: What are your views on suicide bombings? Do you think Islam allows them?

A: The Mujahideen do not take any action without fatwa [Islamic edicts]. They seek fatwas before they take any action.

Q: What is the present relationship between the Taliban and Al Qaeda?

A: We have never felt the need for a permanent relationship in the present circumstances. But they [the Al-Qaeda] have set jihad as their goal while we have set the expulsion of American troops from Afghanistan as our target. This is the common goal of all the Muslims.

Q: Have you met Osama bin Laden since the Taliban were driven out of power in 2001?

A: I have neither seen him nor have made any effort to do so, but I do pray for his health and safety.

Q: The Afghanistan government believes that you and other Taliban leaders are hiding in Pakistan and are getting support from Islamabad. What do you think of Pakistan's present government and is it supporting the Taliban?

A: We have not received any assistance so far. Nor can anybody prove it. The propaganda by the western media is always without any proof and is meaningless, that's why they [the US] are using the media as a loudspeaker for their war command. The leadership, resistance and shura are all based here in Afghanistan.

Q: Pakistan and Afghanistan are jointly coordinating efforts to hold jirgas to end violence in Afghanistan? How do you view these efforts? Will the Taliban support jirgas to end the conflict and will they participate in such jirgas if asked to do so?

A: A jirga is supposed to consist of neutral people. I cannot recognize such jirgas [as being planned by Islamabad and Kabul] which I believe are a conspiracy hatched by the American intelligence to use the courageous people of Afghanistan for their own vested interests. But I can say with absolute certainty that no one other than government officials will participate in such programmes. Only those people would participate in them who are sold out to foreign forces. Our participation is absolutely out of the question.

Q: What in your opinion can be done to end violence in Afghanistan? Do you have any suggestions?

A: First of all, foreign troops should leave Afghanistan and then the institutions they created should be dismantled. Unless that happens, war will heat up further. It will not recede.

Q: What is the Taliban's motivation for the present insurgency? Is this Pashtun nationalism seeking to drive out foreign forces? Or is it the Taliban wanting to drive out foreign forces, remove the present government and establish "Islamic Emirate"?

A: The people [of Afghanistan] have risen to fight the Americans. Nobody can tolerate this kind of subjugation and sacrilege of their culture and religion. It would be humiliating for anybody to think that the nation does not want to evict American forces. No nation can accept the dictates of a handful of dollar-greedy and treacherous people. In fact the Taliban are not confined to a particular tribe or people; the Muslims of the entire region take pride in them.

Q: Pakistan says the Taliban movement is dead and what is now happening is actually a Pashtun uprising. Do you agree with this?

A: In short, I would like to say that without doubt the people of the region are behind us, not on a tribal or ethnic basis but in a national and Islamic spirit.

Q: Can there be a peaceful settlement of the present situation in Afghanistan? Do you agree to any mediation by a third party and whom would you want to play this role?

A: There is no permanent government in Afghanistan. Therefore, first, I don't recognize any such set-up that calls itself government. Instead of negotiating with those who have come into power on the backing of foreign powers, it would be appropriate to give them the message to leave Afghanistan along with their [foreign] masters.

Q: How do you view Pakistan's role before and after 9/11?

A: I am confronted with problems in my own country. [Therefore] it would be difficult for me for to comment on issues outside the country.

Mourners continue to stream into Tikrit – from the Shi‘i south, as well as the Sunni west and north – to pay last respects to martyred Iraqi President Saddam Husayn. Deputations from ad-Dujayl offer condolences at grave of fallen Iraqi leader, denounce false testimony from fake “witnesses” at “trial” that ordered Saddam Husayn’s death.

Universities Keeping Out the Poor ...(F)or all the pious attacks on injustice that emanate from universities, the class gap is growing from the United States to Britain, parts of Continental Europe and Asia. The reasons are myriad: state-controlled systems that artificially limit the number of university places, admissions procedures that favor the privately educated, falling financial aid and failing public secondary schools.

Rachel Corrie Story Banned in Canada The play about Rachel Corrie has been banned in Canada. Corrie was the American activist who was killed by an Israeli Defense Force Bulldozer. Compare and contrast these stories. The Canadian Israel Lobby again engages in censorship through the back door, as in the theatre's backers backed out.

The U.N.'s unfinished nuclear business The United Nations General Assembly passed its first resolution in 1946. In the shadow of the American atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the highest priority of the new body was a call for plans "for the elimination from national armaments of atomic weapons and of all other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction." On Tuesday, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan focused on the terrible fact that 60 years on, the world still has no plan to be rid of what he called a "unique existential threat to all humanity." Instead of elimination, the nuclear danger has grown and spread from one country with a few weapons to a situation where the United States and Russia have about 10,000 nuclear weapons each and have been joined as nuclear-armed states by Britain, France, China, Israel, India, Pakistan and, most recently, North Korea.

Western Affluence Contra Economic Justice The only legacy that elite globalization is leaving behind is one of widespread poverty. Even if we take the affluent West as an example, in the UK a staggering 25-30% of the population lives on and/or below the poverty line. In the US, close to 40 million people live on and/or below the poverty line. In NYC (the richest city in the world), ca. 30% of children suffer from chronic malnutrition, the effects of which are permanent. On a global scale, 1/6 of the world population lives on less than 1 USD per day, while 1/2 the world’s population lives on less than 2 USD per day—that is real terror!

Democrats Set to Take Control of US Congress Democrats take back control of the US Congress for the first time in 12 years, vowing to hold President George W. Bush accountable for the Iraq quagmire even as Bush prepares to announce a change of course there. Nearly 500 lawmakers -- a third of the 100-seat US Senate and the entire 435-seat House -- are to be sworn in Thursday, in the aftermath of November's historic election that saw public discontent with the Iraq war lead to heavy losses by Bush's Republicans. Key among the proposals Bush is expected to announce sometime in the next few weeks is a short-term "surge" of thousands of additional US troops aimed at increasing the level of security in Baghdad.

The New Maharajas of India What is it like to be a modern-day Indian prince? Devinder Sharma and Bhaskar Goswami explain how the laws of the land are being redefined to bring in the reality of the royal tag for the rich and beautiful. It took nearly 15 years for India's first Home Minister Sardar Patel to ensure that the 554 princely estates scattered throughout the country finally integrate with the new nation. Some 45 years later, and in the 60th year of India's Independence, almost an equal number of princely estates are once again being carved out. A new breed of Maharajas is all set to grab the crown.

Al-Qaeda refines its new fighting spirit As long as it remained more of an ideological haven than an organization of substance, al-Qaeda was unable to attract tangible support from many jihadist groups in the Islamic world. Now, the resistance movements in Afghanistan and Iraq have given al-Qaeda a strong base from which to marshal support for a wider war on the West.

Somalia: New Hotbed of Anti-Americanism The U.S. foreign policy has sown the seeds of a new national and regional violent hotbed of anti-Americanism in the Arab world, the heart of what western strategists call the Middle East, by succeeding in Somalia in what it failed to achieve in Lebanon a few months ago: Washington was able to prevent the United Nations (UN) from imposing a ceasefire until the Ethiopian invasion seized Mogadishu; the Lebanese resistance and national unity prevented the Israeli invaders from availing themselves of the same U.S. green light to achieve their goals in Beirut.

Final Letter from President Saddam Hussein to the People of Iraq (full text) Oh brothers! Oh mujahideen and fighters! For this I call on you now and I call on you not to hate because hate does not leave space for a person to be fair. It blinds you and closes all doors of thinking. Hate prevents you from thinking straight and from making the right choices and avoiding the wrong. It blocks your vision and prevents you from seeing the variables in the mind of those who were thought of as enemies, including those people who had gone astray but have changed their direction and have taken the right path, the path of the noble people and the glorious nation.

I also call on you, brothers and sisters, my children and the children of Iraq. I call on you, oh comrades of jihad; I call on you not to hate the people of the other countries that attacked us. You should distinguish between the decision-makers and the people. Just hate the action. Even those whose actions deserve to be fought--do not hate them as human beings. Also, the doers of evil, do not hate them, but hate the evil deed itself and fight the evil with what it deserves.

Federal 'Hate Law' Could Be Introduced This Week The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith introduced the same legislation last January 6, three days after Congress convened. This is the most dangerous legislation ever to come before Congress. It leads directly to an end of free speech. Once free speech is gone, there is little to prevent the loss of all our other freedoms. The new Democrat-controlled Congress has all the votes it needs to quickly run this Orwellian bill through committee in the House and Senate and pass it. Unless they lose their nerve, thrown back by massive protest from the American people. Extraordinary action must be taken NOW to back down ADL and intimidate them from even introducing the hate bill in this session.

The Three Hundred And Fifty Billion Dollar Lynch Mob It's been a long time since my last global rant. But after seeing this Greek tragedy of Biblical proportions playing out in Iraq, I felt that something had to be said. You've probably all seen the video of Saddam Hussein's execution by now. In response, all I can say is

YEE-HAW! Them good ole' boys from Texas bagged themselves an uppity sand- Nigger, and showed them A-rabs what's-what! This'll teach them colored folk who think themselves to be equals with the white man a thing or two, YES-SIR-EE BOB! Praise Jee-zus and pass the ammunition!!!

Iran top nuclear negotiator to visit China Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani will arrive in China on Thursday for a two-day visit carrying a message from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, an Iranian news agency reported on Wednesday. Larijani will deliver the message in person to Chinese President Hu Jintao and also meet other top officials, including Luo Gan of the standing committee of the Communist Party's political bureau. No further details were disclosed. China supports Iran's right to a nuclear programme but as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council voted for a resolution that imposed sanctions targeting Iran's nuclear industry and ballistic missile programme. Both Russia and China -- which have strong economic interests in Iran -- worked to water down drafts of the Security Council resolution and Beijing has since called for more talks on the nuclear issue.

President: Bullying Powers Destroying World for Vested Interests The Iranian President said today: The criminal leaders of the world’s bullying and corrupt powers are prepared to destroy the Planet in pursuit of their vested interests. Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressing a huge public gathering Wednesday in the city of Dezful in the south-western province of Khuzestan said: the selfish leaders of the United States and Britain who are only thinking about their own oil and financial interests invaded Iraq on the false pretext of removing oppression and granting freedom to the Iraqi nation. But what they did was to massacre hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed the economy of that country. Referring to the current situation of Iraq, he stressed: Today the Iraqis are standing against them and want the occupiers to leave their homeland, since the occupiers want to sow discord among the Iraqis in a desperate bid to achieve their sinister objectives. He added that the opposition of the bullying powers to Iran’s peaceful nuclear program stems from their fear for the development and progress of the Iranian nation. President Ahmadinejad noted: They do not respect any law. They stand against the lawful path of freedom-seeking nations of the world while ignoring the crimes and nuclear arsenals of the illegal Zionist entity.

India's PM says West is environmentally wasteful Slamming the West forits "environmentally wasteful lifestyle", Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called on Wednesday for industrialised nations to look at alterative energy sources to save the environment.

Israel Jewish Terrorists Army Aircraft Again Violate Lebanon's Air Space On January 2nd, as many as 10 jetfighter of the illegal Israel Jewish terrorists entity violated Lebanon's air space from the south and east in violation of United Nations Security Council resolution 1701. The fresh act of provocation by Israel Jewish terrorists despite warnings by the international community indicates the Israel Jewish terrorists entity's disdain for regional and world peace. The truth is that the UN has not carried out any effective measure to stop the Israel Jewish terrorists entity’s invasive measures. Israel Jewish terrorists jets violate Lebanon's airspace at will with scant regard for the UN peacekeeping forces that have been imposed on south Lebanon against the will of the Lebanese people following the disgraceful defeat of Israel Jewish terrorists in its 33-day war against the Shia kafirs resistance.

US Supports Israel Jewish terrorists Entity with More Armaments The US government, as per its financial and military commitments to the illegal Israel Jewish terrorists entity, is equipping Israel Jewish terrorists Army with technologically advanced anti-missile system and weaponry. According to news sources from Occupied Palestine, the anti-missile “Tad” system is to be handed over to Israel Jewish terrorists Army in 2009. The US support to Israel Jewish terrorists Army over the years includes non-repayable grants of several billion dollars and sophisticated weaponry, which Israel Jewish terrorists Army uses to wreak havoc on Palestinian and Lebanese civilians. The Israel Jewish terrorists entity’s budget for 2007 exceeds 12 billion dollars, the highest ever since Israel Jewish terrorists illegitimate birth in Palestine in May 1948.

Canadian Media Blind to Afghan Civilian Deaths One might have expected our major national media to engage such an important discussion with in-depth news coverage of the conflict, along with critical and incisive editorials and opinion pieces. Instead, our most respected media went to considerable lengths to avoid negative portrayals of our military role and that of our NATO allies, even to the point of completely ignoring certain shocking and disastrous events which are of vital importance in understanding the role of our military in Afghanistan and its effects on the people of that country.

Soldiers die, CEOs prosper As soldiers have died in displaying personal patriotism, the pay gap between soldiers and defense CEOs has exploded. Before 9/11, the gap between CEOs of publicly traded companies and army privates was already a galling 190 to 1. Today, it is 308 to 1. The average army private makes $25,000 a year. The average defense CEO makes $7.7 million. ``Did this surprise us? No, because we've been watching since Sept. 11," said Betsy Leondar-Wright, communications director for United for a Fair Economy. ``While the rest of us were worrying about terrorism and mourning the people who died, the CEOs were maneuvering their companies to take advantage of fear and changing oil supply, not just for competition but for personal enrichment." The top profiteers after 9/11 were the CEOs of United Technologies ($200 million), General Dynamics ($65 million), Lockheed Martin ($50 million), and Halliburton ($49 million). Other firms where CEO pay the last four years added up to $25 million to $45 million were Textron, Engineered Support Systems, Computer Sciences, Alliant Techsystems, Armor Holding, Boeing, Health Net, ITT Industries, Northrop Grumman, Oshkosh Truck, URS, and Raytheon. While Army privates died overseas earning $25,000 a year, David Brooks, the disgraced former CEO of body-armor maker DHB, made $192 million in stock sales in 2004. He staged a reported $10 million bat mitzvah for his daughter. The 2005 pay package for Halliburton CEO David Lesar, head of the firm that most symbolizes the occupation's waste, overcharges, and ghost charges on no-bid contracts, was $26 million, according to the report's analysis of federal Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Iran will press ahead with nuclear work: president President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that Iran would press ahead with its nuclear plans and that a U.N. resolution imposing sanctions on Iran was "invalid". "The Iranian nation is wise and will stick to its nuclear work and is ready to defend it completely," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech to a rally in the southern city of Ahvaz. "The U.N. resolution against Iran's atomic work has no validity for Iranians." Ahmadinejad said "bullying powers" could not deprive Iran of its right to nuclear technology.

India, Pakistan exchange lists of nuke installations India and Pakistan on Monday, exchanged lists of nuclear installations and facilities through diplomatic channels simultaneously at New Delhi and Islamabad.

India stays Israel`s single largest arms customer Buoyed by Indian defence procurement worth USD 1.5 billion, the Israeli defence industries have recorded all time high sales figures in 2006. "India was Israel's biggest customer with purchases reaching USD 1.5 billion," Maj Gen. Yossi Ben-Hanan, head of SIBAT, the Foreign Defense Assistance and Defense Export Department at the defence ministry told media. It included Israel's single largest sale to a foreign country made by the Israel Aircraft Industries in the sale of the Barak Naval anti-missile defense system, valued at some USD 450 million, Ben-Hanan told the daily. Unperturbed by the US entry into the Indian market, the defence official said it would not make a dent in Israeli defence sales to New Delhi. "America sells fighter jets, tanks and helicopters and we do not compete with them," Ben-Hanan said. On the contrary, he said, that it may even lead to an increase. "We can for example sell the necessary accompanying systems that they will need alongside the larger US platforms," Ben-Hanan noted.

Message of respected Ameer-ul-Momineen Mullah Muhammad Omar (Mujahid)

In the name of Allah Almighty, the most Merciful, the Beneficent

All praises and gratitude is due only to Allah Almighty. Peace and blessings of Allah be upon the leader of Mujahideen Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

I extend Eid greetings to our Mujahid nation, the Muslims world over and especially to Mujahideen in sacred bunkers.

Eid-ul-Azha is in fact, an ideology of sacrifice. While celebrating the day, the Muslims must realize that sacrifices have kept the thinking and ideology alive. An ideology based on sacrifices can never fail. You can see that present resistance and struggle in Afghanistan has amply proved the point.

On one side, Pharos of the time and world's cruel forces have joined hands with all their resources and might. On the other, helpless Afghans are putting up unflinching resistance with ordinary means and resources. Even then they have shattered their myth. Now they are looking for a safe exit out of this quagmire. This is simply because they (Mujahideen) believe and follow the ideology of sacrifices which never submits and accepts defeat. The enemy will face thumping defeat until and unless this ideology is there and alive.

I am confident that Afghanistan will present a new and exemplary (surprising) lesson for the world at large.

Leaders of some Islamic countries are bent upon eliminating the Muslim's spirit of resistance power – Jihad. Defense of our ideology and Jihad are symbols of the Muslims' honor and dignity. Whosoever intends to tarnish Ummah's image will face Allah's wrath and the Muslims would never spare him (would drag and crack him).

(Allah will humiliate and disgrace him)

Invaders of our country must know that those who transgress on others' beliefs will face the same fate as that in Iraq and Afghanistan. Participants of Jirgas are agents with no true mandate from any tribe.

I expect all Muslims of the region to take heed of conspiracies hatched by so-called 'big' nations. They should not be misled by satanic tactics of the invaders who are facing imminent defeat. Now they (invaders) are hatching new conspiracies and committing blunders.

I congratulate our sincere and dedicated Mujahideen on their achievements. I once again urge them (Mujahideen) to protect their bunkers (strongholds) in a sane way and be mindful of not resorting to actions that may result in casualties of innocent ordinary people.

Mujahideen only wage war against enemy in accordance with the Quranic principles and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Any action contrary to given instructions would earn bad name for Jihad.

So we are bound only to target our enemy. We must be more cautious and careful in focusing the target. We should have friendly and sincere relations with our own Muslim people.

Ruthless bombing of our inhuman enemies are killing and displacing thousands of Afghans, particularly women and children. It has now become a permanent cruel practice and barbaric habit of our enemy. We must stand by the people to fight against the enemy and to take revenge of their blood.

I am confident that blood of innocent people and Mujahideen will yield results. The enemy will have to quit the region with humiliation and disgrace. Invaders have not come here on their own choice. And they will not leave willingly. They have committed aggression and we will drive them to out. Afghans have a history of expelling their enemies as no enemy and invader had quit Afghanistan willingly.

I pray for the victory and courage of the Mujahid nation

Taliban command structure in Fata ‘alarms’ US The Taliban have established a command and control structure in the tribal areas and are using their “sanctuary” for regrouping, said a senior US official on Tuesday. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, however, acknowledged at a briefing in Ottawa, Canada, that Pakistan was aware of the problem and was making concerted efforts to deal with it. Mr Boucher, who looks after South and Central Asian affairs at the State Department, said the presence of Taliban forces in the tribal region was “one of the key items” on the US agenda. A text of the statement, issued by the State Department on Wednesday, quoted him as saying that “the Taliban have been able to use these areas for sanctuary and for command and control and for regrouping and supply.” The United States, he said, was not only alarmed by this development but had also conveyed its concerns to Pakistan. “We have been very clear with the Pakistani government that this is one of the key items on all our agendas – on our own agenda, on the Pakistani agenda, the Afghan agenda,” he said.

Afghan president, UN reject Pakistan's mining of border Afghanistan's president and the United Nations dismissed Thursday Pakistan's decision to mine and fence the frontier between the rowing neighbours as a way to cut back cross-border "Mujahideen Attacks". President Hamid Karzai said he would use "every method" to stop mines being planted on the border. Pakistan said this week it had tasked its army with working out ways to fence or mine parts of the rugged 2,500-kilometre (1,500-mile) frontier to stop Taliban militants entering Afghanistan to carry out attacks. Karzai said Afghanistan had suffered enough from mines within its borders. It is one of the world's most mined countries despite internationally backed efforts to destroy millions of landmines laid by the Soviet military during the 1979-1989 Soviet occupation and during the subsequent civil wars. Afghans "have suffered and we are very much for the removal, prevention of mines than laying of mines", the president said. Mines still kill or maim around 100 people a month in the war-scarred nation, according to demining agencies. "We will use every method, every way of peaceful means, of dialogue and of friendly cooperation to prevent the laying of mines on the border because the laying of mines is not going to get us anywhere," Karzai said. The United Nations in Afghanistan echoed the concern. "The UN is opposed to the use of landmines," spokesman Aleem Siddique was quoted as saying. "Afghanistan is already heavily mined and a lot of its civilians, mainly children, have been killed and maimed. "From a UN point of view, fencing or mining the border is not a way to build trust and confidence among Pakistan and Afghanistan."

US warns Israel on settlements Israel’s plan to settle 30 Jewish families on a former army base in the occupied West Bank would violate terms of a US-backed Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, the United States said. “The establishment of a new settlement or the expansion of an existing settlement would violate Israel’s obligations under the road map,” Gonzo Gallegos, a State Department spokesman, told reporters here. “The US calls on Israel to meet its road map obligations and avoid taking steps that could be viewed as predetermining the outcome of final-status negotiations,” he said. Washington was seeking an explanation from Israel, Gallegos added.

Interest (Usury): A Tool for Infidel Rule Interest, Riba in Holy Quran: 2:275 Those who devour usury will not stand except as stand one whom the Evil one by his touch Hath driven to madness. That is because they say: "Trade is like usury," but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who repeat (The offence) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for ever) 2:276 Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity: For He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked. 2:278 O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers.

Will Stinky Cut The Big One Bush is a brutal, pathological liar -- arguably a homicidal maniac. After losing two wars against helpless, unarmed nations, he's bored. The Decider is moving on to greater things, and those who know how to listen to him know the decision to nuke Iran has already been made. Before he leaves office, Bush plans to spread the same freedoms throughout Iran that Iraq is presently enjoying. Will Stinky cut the big one on his way out?

A Look Back And Ahead In An Age OfNeocon Rule It's time to pause at year's end to give thanks for our blessings but reflect that the spirit of the season demands that the madness of Bush neocon rule be stopped and ended before it's too late.

Washington`s Game in Turkmenistan Turkmenistan has reserves which amount to 22.5 trillion cubic meters, the second largest supplies in all of Asia. At this point nearly all of Turkmenistan’s gas is pumped through Russian energy giant Gazprom’s pipelines. As economist Mikail Delyagin said, "Because of Gazprom’s mismanagement, the European part of Russia cannot exist without Turkmen gas. Control over it is a categorical imperative for Russia’s development during the next 10 years". (Victor Yasmann RFE/RL Current Affairs)
