    Dear Mr. President,
    Thanks for your address to the nation. It’s good to know you still want to talk to us after how we behaved in November.
    Listen, can I be frank? Sending in 20,000 more troops just ain’t gonna do the job. That will only bring the troop level back up to what it was last year. And we were losing the war last year! We’ve already had over a million troops serve some time in Iraq since 2003. Another few thousand is simply not enough to find those weapons of mass destruction! (…)

    There is a decent chance that within the next month or two the New Mexico State Legislature will ask the U.S. House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush and Vice President Cheney. And there is the definite possibility that a Congress Member from New Mexico will take up the matter when it gets to Washington. The Jefferson Manual, rules used by the U.S. House, allows for impeachment to be begun in this manner. It only takes one state (…)

    Press release from Central Ohio chapter of Military Families Speak Out :
    President Bush tells us that in the end, more bloodshed will justify that which has already come about.
    Most military families agree that this president proceeded with reckless indifference to the consequences of the troops, their families, and the people of Iraq. Mr. Bush is unwilling to accept advice that does not adhere to his insulated vision of Iraq. Our loved ones were there and we understand what kind of (…)

  • Bush Can Be Beaten in Iraq—The World Wins!

    Bush’s "troop surge" is just a false tactic leading to WAR WITH IRAN.
    The goal is, and has always been, control of all of the Middle East’s oil — not just to grab Iraq’s.
    Personally, I see one thing clearly: An unprovoked nuclear attack on Iran by Israel or anyone else would mean that a STATE OF WAR exists between the state making the attack and THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. Nulear war is forever — it sets intolerable precedents worse than Hiroshima and makes large land masses uninhabitable (…)
