It’s been 10 months since a roadside bomb in Iraq killed Cathy Brunson’s son and three fellow Georgia National Guardsmen — not long enough to heal, she says, and too late to take much comfort in President George W. Bush’s admission he’s made mistakes in conducting the war.

“No matter what is said or done now, it’s not going to bring back the 2,000-plus soldiers that were killed,” Brunson of Sylvester, Ga., said Friday, a day after Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair offered sobering acknowledgments of missteps in their handling of Iraq.

Her son, 30-year-old Spc. Jacques “Gus” Brunson, a former prison guard, was among 11 Georgia citizen-soldiers killed over 11 days when the National Guard’s 48th Infantry Brigade deployed to Iraq last year.

“For the families who have lost their sons, brothers, husbands, it is kind of late now to acknowledge that ‘OK, we did make mistakes,’” said Brunson, who keeps a photo of her son on her desk at the tax assessor’s office in south Georgia’s rural Worth County.

…

Some family members criticized Bush for owning up to mistakes only after his poll numbers and public support for the war have reached all-time lows. Others said they forgave the president and continue to support the goal of establishing a stable Iraqi democracy.

Blair beefed up his Iran speech to please Bush

Objections by President George W Bush’s inner circle played a key role in the alterations, which were made just before Mr Blair delivered his landmark address at Georgetown University in Washington, on Friday, British sources have revealed.

Only three hours before the speech was delivered, Downing Street officials were briefing journalists that the Prime Minister would stress that “change should not be imposed” on Iran, reflecting the British view that bombing or invading Iran is not a realistic option.

American officials had insisted, however, that the possibility of military action remained “on the table”, arguing that this helped to exert maximum pressure on President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

By the time he made his speech, Mr Blair had significantly bowed to the American position, claiming “I am not saying we should impose change” and leaving the door open for a military attack.

Bill simplifies process for students to decline military recruiters’ calls

By Matthew Yi
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

May 27, 2006

SACRAMENTO – A bill to require school districts to include in their student emergency contact form a check box to opt out of a list sent to military recruiters has been approved by the Assembly.

The vote this week on the legislation by Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View (Santa Clara County), was largely along party lines with 43 Democrats voting yes and 30 Republicans voting no. Five Democrats and two Republicans did not vote. The bill requires the same opt-out check box in emergency contact forms for college recruiters.

…

The issue surfaced when the No Child Left Behind Act went into effect in 2002. As part of a requirement to receive federal funding, schools are required to release contact information on high school juniors and seniors to military recruiters. Opponents of the bill say the federal law already requires schools to notify parents or guardians they can ask that their children’s information be removed from lists sent to military recruiters. Supporters of the legislation argue a lack of standardized notification and a system to remove students’ names from lists given to military recruiters has left some districts to figure it out on their own and others to ignore it.

US TROOPS could hand control of Baghdad to Iraqi police by the end of this year, a senior US military official said, echoing comments from Iraq’s new Government about its security plans.

The official said Najaf and Kerbala provinces could be under the full control of Iraqi police within three months, while Babil and Baghdad to the north of them could be ready for it December. He did not comment on other provinces than those four central ones.

Britain plans to hand at least one of the four southern provinces it polices from Basra over to Iraqi control next month. Neighbouring Najaf and Kerbala, under supervision of the US division based in Baghdad, are also relatively calm.

“Within the next couple of months we are going to be OK in Najaf and Kerbala … (and) expect to hand over the southern battle space by August,” the US official in Baghdad told reporters at a briefing conducted on condition of anonymity.

Senate votes for fence on southern U.S. border

WASHINGTON - The Senate voted to build 370 miles of triple-layered fencing along the Mexican border Wednesday, and clashed over citizenship for millions of men and women who live in the United States illegally.

Amid increasingly emotional debate over election-year immigration legislation, senators voted 83-16 to add fencing and 500 miles of vehicle barriers along the southern border. It marked the first significant victory in two days for conservatives seeking to place their stamp on the contentious measure.

The prospects were less favorable for their attempt to strip out portions of the legislation that could allow citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants and create new guest worker programs.

One person is being assassinated in Basra every hour, as order in Iraq’s second city disintegrates, according to an Iraqi Defence Ministry official. And a quarter of all Iraqi children suffer from malnutrition, a survey of 20,000 households by the Iraqi government and Unicef says.

The number of violent killings in Basra is now at a level close to that of Baghdad, and marks the failure of the British Army’s three-year attempt to quell violence there. Police no longer dare go to the site of a murder because they fear being attacked. The governor of Basra, Mohammed Misbahal-Wa’ili, is trying to sack the city’s police chief, claiming that the police have not carried out a single investigation into hundreds of recent assassinations.

The collapse of government authority in Iraq is increasing at every level and leaders in Baghdad have yet to form a cabinet, five months after parliamentary elections on 15 December. Insurgent attacks on American and British troops are also proving more lethal, with 44 US soldiers and seven British killed so far this month, and with daily losses exceeding anything seen for more than a year.

Majid al-Sari, an adviser to the Iraqi Ministry of Defence, describing the situation in Basra to the daily al-Zaman, said that on average one person was being assassinated every hour. Militiamen and tribesmen are often the only real authority. When Sheikh Hassan Jarih al-Karamishi was killed by men dressed in police uniforms at the weekend, Mr Sari said his heavily armed armed tribesmen stormed one police station in south Basra, killing 11 police, and burnt down two other buildings, headquarters for a political party. Tribes who once lived in the marshlands outside Basra are engaged in constant feuds with other tribes. While militias owe allegiance to Shia parties, they are also suspected of receiving funds from Kuwaiti and Iranian intelligence.

…In the past, while Europeans, Asians and Arabs might have disliked American policies or specific U.S. leaders, they liked and admired Americans themselves.

Polls now show an ominous turn. Majorities around the world think Americans are greedy, violent and rude, and fewer than half in countries like Poland, Spain, Canada, China and Russia think Americans are honest.
“We found a rising antipathy toward Americans,” said Bruce Stokes of the Pew Global Attitudes Project, which interviewed 93,000 people in 50 countries over a four-year span.
…
Stokes and his colleagues at the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan public opinion group in Washington, found that fewer and fewer people see the United States as a land of high ideals and opportunity. More than half of those asked in France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Britain said the “spread of American ideas and customs” was a “bad thing.”

This represents a major uphill challenge for the United States, which, after a period of aggressive “go-it-alone” foreign policy, is again coming to rely on allies and international partners.
…
Almost half of those polled in Britain, France and Germany dispute the whole concept of a global war on terrorism, and a majority of Europeans believe the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. More than two-thirds of Germans, French and Turks believe American leaders lied about the reasons for war and believe the United States is less trustworthy than it once was.

“If there is a real wave of rights abuses, if we see the National Guard starting to directly participate in detaining people… we would immediately start filing lawsuits through our consulates,” Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez told a Mexico City radio station. He did not offer further details….
