  • I Am Angry
    6 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    I Am Angry By Susan Fassanella July 5, 2006
    Dear Lew, the Honorable Ron Paul’s piece on why Americans are angry really stirred me to respond. Mr. Paul’s piece speaks about many issues facing Americans today.
    I am a 51-year-old woman. I have been married to the same man since 1976. I am the secretary/office manager for a small legal firm in the D.C. suburbs. My husband manages a wine and spirits store. I have two sons, aged 26 and 22. After realizing it wasn’t possible to support (…)

    Occupation: The Inconvenient Truth About Iraq By George Lakoff July 5, 2006
    It is time to tell an inconvenient truth about Iraq: it is an occupation, not a war. In wars, armies fight to dominate land. The US won the war three years ago when Bush said, “Mission Accomplished”. Then the occupation started, and our troops were not trained or equipped for an occupation under predictably hostile circumstances. Finally getting the courage to tell the truth that the US is an occupying force (…)

    Will The Real Democrats Please Stand Up? Robert Scheer July 04, 2006
    Time for yet another Bush Iraq photo-op. Heck, the last one-when the president popped into the liberated Green Zone to once again proclaim a turning point in his obviously endless war-worked so well that he went up five points in some opinion polls.
    No matter that the government in Baghdad is as dysfunctional and powerless as ever, that the rate of U.S. and Iraqi deaths has climbed since Bush’s visit, that the war is on (…)

  • Is Cheney Betting On Economic Collapse?

    Is Cheney Betting On Economic Collapse? Mike Whitney July 4, 2006 Wouldn’t you like to know where Dick Cheney puts his money? Then you’d know whether his "deficits don’t matter" claim is just baloney or not.
    Well, as it turns out, Kiplinger Magazine ran an article based on Cheney’s financial disclosure statement and, sure enough, found out that the VP is lying to the American people for the umpteenth time. Deficits do matter and Cheney has invested his money accordingly.
    The article is (…)

    Not In Our Name: Vietnam, Iraq and the Voters’ Pledge
    By Dan Ellsberg
    According to recent opinion polls, most Iraqis don’t believe that we’re making things better or safer in their country. What does that say about the legitimacy of prolonged occupation, much less permanent American bases in Iraq? What does it mean for continued American armored patrols such as the one last November in Haditha, which, we now learn, led to the deaths of a Marine and 24 (…)

    “We’ve marched, held vigils, lobbied Congress, camped out at Bush’s ranch, we’ve even gone to jail, now it’s time to do more”
    “This war is a crime,” the icon mother told a crowd of clapping, cheering protesters.
    “We represent millions of Americans who withdraw their support from this government.”
    Millions of American have just watched in disgust as our congress ignored the will of the American people and voted against setting a timetable for withdrawing our troops from Iraq. Who (…)
