Kristof–like everybody else in the Western press–covering up for the Moroccan dictatorship

How bad is the Libyan Transitional Council?

It is so bad that it is worse than Hamid Karzai.  At least the puppet Karzai speaks once in a while about NATO bombings of civilians.  The Libyan Transitional Council is now more of a puppet than Karzai. Enough said.

Bahrain and expats

A source on Bahrain:  ”You talk a lot about the fake sympathy that Hariri’s supporters in Lebanon have for the Syrians.  We have a similar problem in Bahrain.  The government and its supporters are suddenly pretending that they care about expats. …

The new Syrian opposition council

The fact that the corrupt Ma’mun Al-Humsi is a member of the council reveals a lot about its corruption and about its control by House of Saud and Hariri Inc.  Ma’mun Humsi once said that Hariri family does not buy people.  Enough said.

Asad

Bashshar Al-Asad never fails to disappoint.  What bothers me more about him is that for an autocrat under pressure by his people he still comes across as arrogant.  He has no sense of humility.  He acts as if he is freely elected by his …

Aljazeera

Asad`s speech

I mean, is there anything that the Ba`th party and the Asad regime in Syria do other than forming committees?  It is all about forming committees to study the feasibility of forming yet more committees.  Committees and committees and com…
