Bush warns Sudan to end Darfur conflict WASHINGTON - President Bush warned Sudan's government on Tuesday that it must move soon to end the deadly conflict in its wartorn Darfur region. Bush spoke to reporters after meeting with Andrew Natsios, the United States' special envoy to Sudan. Bush said Natsios delivered a "grim report about the human condition" in Darfur after a 10-day trip to the area. "The government of Sudan must understand that we're serious, when you deliver a message to them on behalf of our government, that we're earnest and serious about their necessity to step up and work with the international community," the president said. The vast, remote western province of Darfur has suffered from a 3-year-old war that has left some 200,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Sudan's government is accused of unleashing brutal militiamen known as Janjaweed to quell a tribal rebellion against the government. The U.N. has authorized 20,000 troops to replace an ill-equipped and underfunded force of 7,000 African Union troops in Darfur to enforce a peace agreement, which has not held. But the Sudanese government has rejected the U.N. force, and last week expelled the U.N.'s Sudan envoy, Jan Pronk. Bush said a "credible and effective" international force is crucial to bringing peace to the region. "The United States is going to work with the international community to come up with a single plan on how to address this issue and save lives," he said.

North Korea agrees to nuclear talks BEIJING - The U.S. and Chinese governments announced Tuesday that North Korea agreed to rejoin six-nation nuclear disarmament talks, a surprise diplomatic breakthrough that comes only three weeks after the communist regime conducted its first known atomic test. The agreement was struck in a day of unpublicized discussions between the senior envoys from the United States, China and North Korea at a government guesthouse in Beijing. The U.S. negotiator, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, said the six-nation negotiations could resume as early as November or December. "We took a step today toward getting this process back on track. This process has suffered a lot in recent weeks by the actions the DPRK has made," Hill told reporters afterward. DPRK stands for Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North's official name The agreement is one of the first signs of easing tensions since North Korea conducted the underground detonation on Oct. 9, defying warnings from both the United States and Japan and its staunchest ally, China. It also marks a diplomatic victory for China and the United States, which worked closely together in the wake of the test, but especially for Beijing. Though stung by Pyongyang's test, China had counseled against punishing North Korea too harshly, weakening a U.N. resolution sanctioning Pyongyang, and suggested leaving a path for diplomacy. President Bush welcomed the agreement "I am pleased and I want to thank the Chinese," the president told reporters in the Oval Office, after meeting with Andrew Natsios, his special envoy on Sudan. But he said the agreement would not halt the U.S. efforts to enforce the U.N Security Council resolution that imposed sanctions on trade in military materials and luxury goods in response to the North's atomic test. State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the U.S. would enter the new round of talks insisting they start with a September 2005 agreement forged between the six nations, in which Pyongyang pledged to scrap its nuclear programs in return for aid and security assurances. Talks between the U.S. and North Korea over its nuclear programs have had a tortuous history, beginning in a 1990s round that led to a freeze which the Bush administration claims Pyongyang violated. Starting first as a three-way parlay with Beijing, the current round of negotiations then added Japan, Russia and South Korea , before holding three on-again, off-again sessions. The negotiations stalled after the U.S. imposed financial sanctions over alleged counterfeiting and money laundering activities by Pyongyang and North Korea withdrew in November 2005. Both the U.S. and North Korea showed flexibility at Tuesday's meeting, Hill said, with Washington agreeing to discuss the financial sanctions. The U.S. previously had said the issue was unrelated to talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program. Pyongyang did not make the lifting of the financial sanctions a condition for resuming the talks, Hill said. At the talks, Pyongyang's negotiator, Kim Gye Gwan, "made the point" that North Korea considered itself a nuclear power, Hill said. "I made it very clear that the United States does not accept the DPRK as a nuclear power and neither does China." Other partners in the talks — Japan, Russia and South Korea — had mixed reactions to the announcement. South Korea, which like China has urged engagement with Pyongyang, and Russia were optimistic about the prospects of resuming the negotiations. "The government hopes that the six-party talks will resume at an early date as agreed," South Korea's Foreign Ministry spokesman Choo Kyu-ho said. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alexeyev said that Moscow views North Korea's decision as "extremely positive," ITAR-Tass and Interfax news agencies reported. But Japan, which feels threatened by North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, took a more skeptical line. While Tokyo welcomed the prospect of a new round of talks, it "does not intend to accept North Korea's return to the talks on the premise that it possess nuclear weapons," public broadcaster NHK quoted Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso as saying. Aso added that a resumption of talks "is conditional on North Korea not possessing nuclear weapons." Calls to the North Korean Embassy in Beijing seeking comment went unanswered. China's Foreign Ministry released a brief statement, the first word of the breakthrough, saying that an agreement was struck on North Korea's rejoining the talks, but issued no other comment. Hill cautioned that much work needed to be done to prepare for the resumption of talks. "We're a long way from our goals here," he said. "I have not broken out the champagne and cigars yet." Key in the coming days, Hill said, would be intense preparations by all parties to make sure a new round would deal substantively with an agreement reached at the last session of six-party talks in September 2005. Among the issues would be how would North Korea takes steps to ultimately give up its nuclear programs, he said. Other issues, such as a South Korean proposal to provide electricity to the impoverished North and how to set up mechanism, perhaps a working group, to discuss the U.S. financial sanctions, also were likely be explored, he said. Hill described intense backstage Chinese efforts to get the six-party talks on track, saying Beijing contacted Secretary of state Condoleezza Rice late last week to ask if she would dispatch him to Beijing for a three-way discussion with North Korea. Hill, who had been in the South Pacific at a forum of regional governments, cut short a visit to Australia, arriving in Beijing late Monday for Tuesday's talks. A U.N. committee has been determining how to implement the sanctions on the North's weapons trade and imports of luxury goods. Washington has been seeking to gather support for the sanctions, and getting the North's top two trading partners — China and South Korea — to pressure the regime. North Korea is believed to have enough radioactive material to make about a half-dozen bombs, but estimates vary due to limited intelligence about its nuclear program. The apparent North Korean agreement followed a day of typically bellicose rhetoric from Pyongyang. North Korea warned South Korea on Tuesday against participating in a U.S.-led international drive to stop and search ships carrying weapons of mass destruction, saying involvement would bring about unspecified "catastrophic consequences." The warning released by Pyongyang's official news agency came as South Korea is considering whether to fully participate in the U.S.-led Proliferation Security Initiative aimed at interdicting shipments of weapons of mass destruction and other suspected cargo. Seoul has been reluctant to take full part in the initiative out of concern it may anger North Korea and complicate efforts to resolve the international standoff. Instead, it has sent observers to drills and attended briefings. Associated Press reporters Burt Herman, Bo-mi Lim and Meraiah Foley in Seoul, South Korea, and Jennifer Loven in Washington contributed to this report.

Three NATO soldiers killed in Afghanistan amid intense battles KABUL (AFP) - A blast ripped through a NATO convoy in eastern Afghanistan , killing three troops in an attack claimed by the Taliban, as a policeman died in a suicide bombing similar to scores by the extremist group. The deaths took to five the number of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) soldiers killed since the weekend in a series of engagements -- some of them the most intense in weeks -- that have left nearly 140 rebels dead. The soldiers were on patrol in the mountainous eastern province of Nuristan, bordering Pakistan, when a roadside bomb struck their vehicle, ISAF said in a statement. Two soldiers were killed and two wounded, one of whom died later. The nationalities of the troops were not released by the 37-country ISAF, which says it is the responsibility of the troops' home nations. Most of the soldiers in eastern Afghanistan are from the United States. More than 115 foreign soldiers have been killed in action in Afghanistan so far this year, up from around 75 last year. A purported spokesman for the extremist Taliban movement said it had carried out the attack with a remote-controlled device. Near-daily roadside bombings are a key feature of the spiralling Taliban insurgency launched after the hardliners were forced out of government in 2001. A suicide bombing in southern Ghazni province's Taliban-dominated Ander district also bore the hallmarks of the extremist group, which has claimed responsibility for scores of such attacks this year. A man detonated explosives strapped to his body just steps away from a police patrol, interior ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary said. One of our policemen was martyred and another was wounded," he told AFP. The Afghan intelligence agency announced meanwhile that it was holding three would-be suicide bombers whom it said had been sent from militant outfits based in Pakistan to carry out attacks in Kabul. The city was badly shaken by a spate of seven suicide attacks over as many weeks in September and October that killed nearly 40 people, including foreign soldiers. ISAF said this month there had been 91 suicide attacks nationwide this year. The attacks killed 155 civilians, 40 members of the Afghan security forces, six government officials and 14 foreign troops, it said. The Taliban insurgency has peaked this year with the rebels taking on security forces in sophisticated conventional-style warfare. They have however suffered heavy losses against the superior might of the foreign forces, with ISAF commanders saying their defeats have led them to revert to relying on guerrilla-style tactics. The rebels have been pounded in three major engagements since Saturday. In the first, Afghan and ISAF troops killed up to 70 insurgents in a battle involving attack helicopters and air support in Uruzgan province in the south. On Monday the force killed 55 insurgents in an intense six-hour battle in the neighbouring province of Zabul. Later the same day, ISAF warplanes killed 12 insurgents in the southern province of Kandahar after the fighters were spotted moving into position on the roof of a compound, a statement said Tuesday. The force also lost two soldiers -- one in Zabul and one in Uruzgan -- on top of the two killed Tuesday. Extremist networks have also come under pressure just across the border in Pakistan, with Pakistani helicopter gunships destroying an Islamic school allegedly used as an Al-Qaeda-linked training camp on Monday. The Pakistan military said up to 80 suspected militants were killed in the airstrike in the troubled Bajaur tribal agency, but local leaders insisted that most of the dead were teenage students. The strike was one of the biggest ever in Pakistan's frontier region, where many Al-Qaeda and Taliban insurgents have sought sanctuary since 2001.

Iraq PM orders checkpoints removed BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's prime minister, in a very public demonstration of his influence over the U.S. military, ordered the lifting on Tuesday of a week-old cordon around the Baghdad militia stronghold of one of his key Shi'ite allies. U.S. troops, at first apparently taken by surprise by the command, abandoned roadblocks within hours around the sprawling Sadr City slum, meeting Nuri al-Maliki's early evening deadline. He also ordered the clearing of other checkpoints that have snarled traffic around the capital for the past week as U.S. and Iraqi forces have hunted an American soldier of Iraqi origin who was kidnapped, possibly by Shi'ite militiamen. A Maliki aide said the move, which follows days of public friction between the prime minister and U.S. officials in the run-up to next week's U.S. congressional election, had been agreed with the U.S. ambassador and the U.S. military commander. Reporters saw U.S. troops leave positions around Sadr City, the sprawling slum controlled by the Mehdi Army militia of anti-American Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, and Iraqi forces manning others open them up to let all traffic flow freely. A crowd gathered outside the local headquarters of Sadr's organization, some firing in the air in celebration at the end of what a senior follower called a "barbaric and savage siege" that marred last week's Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr. Maliki and U.S. officials have been at odds for the past week ahead of November 7 elections that could cost U.S. President George W. Bush's Republicans control of Congress. In the latest bout of mayhem in Iraq, police said more than 40 people were missing after a mass kidnap attack on minibuses traveling to Baghdad from the north. The killings of two more soldiers took the U.S. military death toll for October so far to 103, the highest since it reached 107 in January last year. Maliki has rejected U.S. pressure to set a timetable for disbanding militias led by fellow Shi'ite Islamists and has demanded a freer hand to command the new Iraqi armed forces "Coalition forces have seen the order," the main U.S. spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Garver said. "Our commanders are determining how coalition forces can best address the prime minister's concerns about checkpoint operations." Sadr's Mehdi army, blamed by the U.S. military and minority Sunni leaders for kidnappings and death squad killings, had ordered the two million people in the area to stay at home and shops to close in protest. An aide to Maliki told Reuters he had "discussed" the lifting of the blockade with U.S. ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and General George Casey, the U.S. military commander. "The areas covered by the order are those places where there is terrible traffic because of the checkpoints," he said. Drivers have spent hours at a standstill in parts of the city as U.S. forces have hunted for the missing military linguist, who was kidnapped, possibly by Shi'ite militiamen, while visiting Iraqi relatives in the eastern half of Baghdad. "For days the people there have been suffering. It can't go on," the aide said. "Even if you have intelligence information, you can't punish millions of people." Sadr, a firebrand young preacher, is a powerful figure within the Shi'ite bloc that dominates Iraq's government. His Mehdi Army is a nationwide movement that controls police and much else in Sadr City. An abortive U.S. raid against an alleged death squad leader in Sadr City that killed 10 people last week angered Maliki. The military has not identified the missing soldier but Maliki told Reuters last week his name was Ahmed al-Taie and that he was snatched during a visit to relatives. The New York Times on Monday quoted Iraqis who said they were Taie's relatives, as saying they believed the kidnappers were from the Mehdi Army. They told the paper Taie had married a fellow Sunni Muslim this year and visited her frequently. (Additional reporting by Aseel Kami and Mariam Karouny)

Russia may back U.N. resolution on Iran MOSCOW - A senior Russian lawmaker said Tuesday that Moscow would likely back a draft U.N. Security Council resolution imposing sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program a statement that contrasted with the Russian foreign minister's criticism of the draft. Russia and China, both veto-wielding Security Council members with strong commercial ties to Tehran, have consistently been reluctant to support sanctions. But China issued muted criticism of Iran on Tuesday over its standoff with the Security Council. Asked about comments from the Iranian president that Tehran would oppose any sanctions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said "the relevant parties should not take any measures that may lead to the escalation of the situation." Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Thursday that Moscow was opposed to the draft resolution, but on Tuesday Yuri Volkov, a deputy speaker of the lower house of parliament, said Russia "will apparently have to join a new resolution on Iran proposed by Britain, Germany and France that envisages limited economic sanctions." Volkov has played a low-key role in the past and made no statements on global politics, although he is in charge of inter-parliamentary contacts with Iran. Like most other members of the Duma, he belongs to the Kremlin-controlled United Russia faction, but it is unclear whether he has any access to Kremlin decision-making. U.N. Security Council members are deliberating the draft European resolution that would impose sanctions on Iran over its disputed nuclear program. Russia has indicated that the measure is too tough, while the United States says it is not tough enough. But Volkov said Tuesday that "the Iranian leadership's refusal to freeze uranium enrichment activities and engage in a constructive dialogue with leading global powers leaves no chance for a quick diplomatic solution of the Iranian nuclear problem." At the same time, Volkov added that Russia would continue efforts to encourage talks between Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana "so that Iran isn't driven into a corner." Volkov also reaffirmed Russia's firm opposition to any decisions that could sanction the use of military force on Iran. Moscow has been frustrated in its efforts to persuade Tehran to halt enrichment — including by offering to enrich uranium on Russian soil for a peaceful Iranian nuclear program. But Russian officials have repeatedly warned that harsh punishment could make Iran even more recalcitrant. Alexander Saltanov, Russia's deputy foreign minister, met Tuesday with Iranian ambassador to Moscow, Gholamreza Ansari, "to exchange opinions on acute international issues, including the situation in the Middle East," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The ministry also said that Lavrov held talks Monday with UAE Foreign Minister Sheik Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan during which they "reaffirmed the need to search for political and diplomatic ways of solving the situation around the Iranian nuclear problem."

Israeli warplanes fly low over Beirut, suburbs BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israeli warplanes flew at a low altitude over Beirut, its suburbs and large areas of south Lebanon on Tuesday, witnesses and Lebanese security sources said. UN peacekeepers and Lebanon say Israeli overflights violate Security Council Resolution 1701 that Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas in August. Israel says its combat planes would continue to fly over Lebanon to ensure that weapons are not smuggled into southern Lebanon from Syria to resupply Hezbollah. Security sources said eight planes entered Lebanese airspace from the south and flew north to Beirut and its southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold. Israeli air raids during the war destroyed large districts of the southern suburbs and several towns and villages in south Lebanon.

Minister Jacob Edery Israel admits using phosphorus bombs during war in Lebanon: By Meron Rappaport, Haaretz Correspondent Israel has acknowledged for the first time that it attacked Hezbollah targets during the second Lebanon war with phosphorus shells. White phosphorus causes very painful and often lethal chemical burns to those hit by it, and until recently Israel maintained that it only uses such bombs to mark targets or territory. The announcement that the Israel Defense Forces had used phosphorus bombs in the war in Lebanon was made by Minister Jacob Edery, in charge of government-Knesset relations. He had been queried on the matter by MK Zahava Gal-On (Meretz-Yahad). "The IDF holds phosphorus munitions in different forms," Edery said. "The IDF made use of phosphorous shells during the war against Hezbollah in attacks against military targets in open ground." Edery also pointed out that international law does not forbid the use of phosphorus and that "the IDF used this type of munitions according to the rules of international law." Edery did not specify where and against what types of targets phosphorus munitions were used. During the war several foreign media outlets reported that Lebanese civilians carried injuries characteristic of attacks with phosphorus, a substance that burns when it comes to contact with air. In one CNN report, a casualty with serious burns was seen lying in a South Lebanon hospital. In another case, Dr. Hussein Hamud al-Shel, who works at Dar al-Amal hospital in Ba'albek, said that he had received three corpses "entirely shriveled with black-green skin," a phenomenon characteristic of phosphorus injuries. Lebanon's President Emile Lahoud also claimed that the IDF made use of phosphorus munitions against civilians in Lebanon. Phosphorus has been used by armies since World War I. During World War II and Vietnam the U.S. and British armies made extensive use of phosphorus. During recent decades the tendency has been to ban the use of phosphorus munitions against any target, civilian or military, because of the severity of the injuries that the substance causes. Some experts believe that phosphorus munitions should be termed Chemical Weapons (CW) because of the way the weapons burn and attack the respiratory system. As a CW, phosphorus would become a clearly illegal weapon. The International Red Cross is of the opinion that there should be a complete ban on phosphorus being used against human beings and the third protocol of the Geneva Convention on Conventional Weapons restricts the use of "incendiary weapons," with phosphorus considered to be one such weapon. Israel and the United States are not signatories to the Third Protocol. In November 2004 the U.S. Army used phosphorus munitions during an offensive in Faluja, Iraq. Burned bodies of civilians hit by the phosphorus munitions were shown by the press, and an international outcry against the practice followed. Initially the U.S. denied that it had used phosphorus bombs against humans, but then acknowledged that during the assault targets that were neither civilian nor population concentrations were hit with such munitions. Israel also says that the use of "incendiary munitions are not in themselves illegal."

WHO BENEFITS ? The perpetual Holocaust media blitz is routinely used to justify enormous American support for Israel and to excuse otherwise inexcusable Israeli policies, even when they conflict with American interests. The sophisticated and well-financed Holocaust media campaign is crucially important to the intersts of Israel, which owes its existence to massive annual subsidies from American taxpayers. As Prof. W. D. Rubinstein of Australia has candidly acknowledged: "If the Holocaust can be shown to be a 'Zionist myth,' the strongest of all weapons in Israel's propaganda armory collapses." ("Quadrant" (Australia), Sept. 1979, p.27).

In fact you avoiding debating what I posted

Where did you read this number?:rolleyes:

What about to put all these hallucination aside and let's talking about what I posted

DISEASE CLAIMED MANY INMATES The Holocaust extermination story is superficially plausible. Everyone has seen the horrific photos of dead and dying inmates taken at Bergen-Belsen, Nordhausen and other concentration camps when they were liberated by British and American forces in the final weeks of the war in Europe. These people were unfortunate victims, not of an extermination program, but of disease and malnutrition brought on by the complete collapse of Germany in the final months of the war. Indeed, if there had been an extermination program, the Jews found by Allied forces at the end of the war would have long since been killed. In the face of the advancing Soviet forces, large numbers of Jews were evacuated during the final months of the war from eastern camps and ghettos to the remaining camps in western Germany. These camps quickly became terribly overcrowded, which severely hampered efforts to prevent the spread of epidemics. Furthermore, the breakdown of the German transportation system made it impossible to supply adequate food and medicine to the camps.

Himmler's SS and the Camps Jews were an important part of Germany's wartime labor force, and it was in Germany's interest to keep them alive. The head of the SS camp administration office sent a directive dated Dec. 28, 1942, to every concentration camp, including Auschwitz. It sharply criticized the high death rate of inmates due to disease, and ordered that "camp physicians must use all means at their disposal to significantly reduce the death rate in the various camps." Furthermore, it ordered:"The camp doctors must supervise more often than in the past the nutrition of the prisoners and, in cooperation with the administration, submit improvement recommendations to the camp commandants. . . The camp doctors are to see to it that the working conditions at the various labor places are improved as much as possible." Finally, the directive stressed that "The Reichsfuhrer SS [Heinrich Himmler] has ordered that the death rate absolutely must be reduced." (Nuremberg document PS-2171, Annex 2; NC&A red series, Vol. 4, pp. 833-834). The head of the SS department that supervised the concentration camps, Richard Glucks, sent a circular letter to each camp commandant dated January 20, 1943. In it he ordered: "As I have already pointed out, every means must be used to lower the death rate in the camp." (Nuremberg document NO-1523; NMT green series, Vol. 5, pp. 372-373)
