    The Iraq war? Thousands of people were killed in attacks that took place before the Iraq invasion - the Paris attacks of 1995-6, 9/11, the 2002 Bali bombings, to name but a few.
    US support for Israel? The Clinton administration worked harder than any other for peace in the Middle-East, and al-Qaeda mushroomed under its watch. In the 1990s Washington’s efforts to bring Israelis and Palestinians together were rewarded by the first attack on the World Trade Center, as well as those on its (…)

    “Working in the White House is like working in the monkey house in a zoo when all the primates are loaded with uppers.
    A number of lower staffers have abruptly quit, Harriet Myers has quit and others are going the same way. Now why is this? Because it is now very obvious that Bush has lost his marbles, if he ever had any, and we are headed into a major governmental crisis.
    Bush has absolutely no intention of leaving Iraq. Any general officer who (…)

    Baltimore, MD - One of six children, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi (nee D’Alesandro), age 66, grew up in this city’s charming “Little Italy” area. Her modest family home at the corner of Albemarle and Fawn Streets is surrounded by about ten blocks of even smaller homes and a cluster of restaurants.

    As Bush scrambles to convince the American people that his fantasy of "victory" is within reach, the number of Iraqis and U.S. soldiers killed continues to soar. With each death, the calls for Impeachment are growing louder and louder.
    As the new Congress takes office we must send a clear and powerful message: there can be no more excuses from the Democrats for their failure to adhere to the Constitution — for their failure to introduce Articles of Impeachment. They have no right to take (…)
