A Syrian Connection To The U.N. Bombing?

Intelligence reports show the truck used in Tuesday's deadly bombing at the U.N. headquarters (search) in Baghdad came from Syria (search), according to Israel's ambassador to the U.N. Ambassador Dan Gillerman says the attack was, ‘part of a concerted, global terrorist ... war which is being waged against the whole free world.’ But, he says, the Syrian connection does not mean Syria was directly involved in the attack. The Syrian government, meanwhile, denies the truck ever came from Syria, calling the accusation, ‘a big lie.’

Former President Lyndon B. Johnson (search) was behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, that according to a new book by Barr McClellan, who was a partner in a law firm that served Johnson.

Presidential Recall?

Bill Clinton's former press secretary, Joe Lockhart (search), and other Democrats have now started a campaign to recall none other than President Bush. Their web-site, bush-recall.org, says they, ‘scorn’ President Bush, who, ‘has failed to provide our country with responsible and effective government.’ But since the Constitution provides no way for a president to be recalled, the self-titled ‘Bush Recall Team’ is hoping supporters will donate money to their political action committee, which will then run ads and take other measures to defeat President Bush in the 2004 elections.
