Sure there are WMD...we are using them in the form of uranium munitions. 11,000 of our soldiers have died of radiation cancer since Gulf War I. What do we think this is doing to the people who live there? It’s a dirty little secret our government is covering up and lying about.

Well, it is good to see at least they can demonstrate. Here you show up at a social security speech of bush’s and if you have an anti-bush or antiwar bumper sticker on your car, you’re carted out of the place.

It’s funny when they talk about liberating the Iraqi — because if people are paying attention, we are losing our freedoms daily.

Everyone needs to call your senators and tell them not to even think about giving more $$$$ to Halliburton for Iraq. They can’t even account for the money we already gave them...and te Iraqi people are quite capable of doing it themselves. We need to give them the money because we cannot trust our own govt. They have lost millions of dollars, there is evidence of money laundering and corruption (see my Representative Henry Waxman’s website for more info about this - he is Representative in Santa Monica and West Side Los Angeles Area of Malibu, Beverly Hills, etc). He has enough to put Cheney behind bars for years....but with republicans stealing elections and ruling the govt....a lot of good that does us.

We still need to call our senators next week though and tell them not to even THINK about giving htem more money for a war which had no exit plan because they never planned to exit.

Use emotion in your voices when you call...let them know we are angry and we may have lost most of our rights but we, the people, still have the mandate for a little while longer and bush and they work for us. Mandate, my foot...

Anyway, way to go Iraq.......good for you with the demonstrations. I wish we had the courage but if you can believe it...it’s scary here now to speak out against our government.

You get a lot of American TV...do you get The Practice and Boston Legal. I bet you don’t...I bet they don’t want you to see those programs. If you do get them, you might enjoy. They are often about losing our civil liberties — the fight for freedom is not in Iraq. The fight for freedom is for our own rights right here and right now in America. They are declaring war on the citizens. We’d better wake up....one more (misnamed) Patriot Act and we’re pretty much cooked.
