US dirty tricks to win vote on Iraq war
« on: March 02, 2003, 06:16:07 AM »
"The United States is conducting a secret 'dirty tricks' campaign against UN Security Council delegations in New York as part of its battle to win votes in favour of war against Iraq.
Details of the aggressive surveillance operation, which involves interception of the home and office telephones and the emails of UN delegates in New York, are revealed in a document leaked to The Observer.
"
....

"The leaked memorandum makes clear that the target of the heightened surveillance efforts are the delegations from Angola, Cameroon, Chile, Mexico, Guinea and Pakistan at the UN headquarters in New York - the so-called 'Middle Six' delegations whose votes are being fought over by the pro-war party, led by the US and Britain, and the party arguing for more time for UN inspections, led by France, China and Russia."

Read the so-called  "memo".   No American uses the spelling found in the so-called "memo".   This is a phony story published in a Leftist rag.  

What else is new.....

^Are you interested in the truth or laughing like an idiot??  That "memo" is as phony as Chirac and French "concern" for "peace".  

Read the effin "memo".  NO American writes like that.      Tell the Leftist "Guardian" to print the ORIGINAL email.   Not their twice-edited "memo".   A Leftist rag promoting roadkill and failing "Journalism" I.

Like i said, what else is new....

I don't see why this source is more or less credible than Fox CBS or CNN.

As you have pointed out before Straffo....it isn't.

Remember you gleely making fun of anyone who thought 60 minutes was a source to get real news.

Yet, if it fits your agenda, then it's credible........

We agree Cobra about credibility.

I'm personally conviced that all the country (France included) involved in this kind of discution use "dirty trick".

And it don't fit my agenda as I don't think my country is more innocent than the others :)

The language seems perfectly amurrican to me.
And, give me a break Cabby.  What's the use of state espionage if you're not going to use it in exactly these circumstances?

now, calling these "dirty tricks", that's going too far.
Dirty tricks is having the cameroon delegate get caught receiving a BJ from Tariq Aziz.

cabby is a real proof of the no logic need apply type people who are running our country and their supporters.

this is exactly the type of crap they would do in the name of patriotic imperitive. ( same reason nixon sank to be a common thief and reagan/bush team ran a cocain cartel/ private war without reagan ever even suspecting :rolleyes: .)


its not for shure but dismissing it out of hand on a spelling difference seems silly to me. maybe hes dislexic like 15% of all adults?


one thing is for shure it will be checked out.

I always find it more credible when I speak only for myself.  I usually don't carry around a mouse in my pocket.

Plus, when I only speak for myself, it stops any temptation that I might have for illusions of granduer.
