The House of Representatives is preparing to vote on the Bush Administration’s request for an additional $82 billion to fund the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, perhaps as early as Tuesday, March 15, 2005. Every day the U.S. spends over $200 million of working peoples’ money to fund war and occupation in Iraq. 100,000 Iraqis have died. More than 1,500 U.S. soldiers have been killed and thousands more wounded. There should not be one more dime spent on Bush’s criminal wars, occupations (…)

Save Democracy, Shut Off Chris Matthews
13 March 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
15 commentsBy Elliot D. Cohen, Ph.D
Sound the alarm! America, the land of the free, is now under attack, not by Al Qaeda, not by Iraqi "insurgents," not by an enemy confronted on foreign soil; not even by one that homeland security could ever stop. It is an insidious, invisible assailant, more hidden than a terrorist cell. It is one that invades virtually every American household on a daily basis without leaving a trace of its deceitful, dangerous nature. Its whores, draped in dignified apparel, sit (…) -
They Let it Happen
13 March 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
8 commentsLet’s face it. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to put the evidence together. They Let it happen. 9-11 was not only preventable, but allowed to happen.
Let me begin by asking a question: If you were President of the United States on September 11th, would you initiate an investigation to determine what security lapses had occurred to allow such a tragedy to unfold? Of course you would. The only reason you would try to prevent an investigation is if you had something to hide. If your house (…) -

According to Matthew Cooper, the White House correspondent for Time Magazine, Washington has been lapping up this case of sex and subterfuge in the city.

Forget Gannon: 52 Warnings yet Condi thought, ’’What a Terrible Accident’’
8 March 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
4 commentsby Ben Frank
Stunning new information regarding 9/11 has emerged recently, yet the mainstream media buried it and ’progressive’ bloggers focused on Gannongate.
This news is worthy of discussion by all Americans, especially the media.
In the 105 days before 9/11, the FAA issued 52 warnings that mentioned Osama Bin Laden. One of the warnings was a CD-ROM that discussed suicide hijackers.
President Bush decided to take a vacation for the month of August.
On August 6th Bush received (…) -

This cancer has a name: George W. Bush. Yeah, yeah. Call me a Bush-basher if you want. I don’t give a damn. If you still support this madman check yourslef into the nearest psychiatric hospital for shock therapy. Somebody has to stand up against this American (…) -

4 commentsInside The Committee That Runs The World David J. Rothkopf March/April 2005 September 11, 2001, was a catalytic event that revealed the core character of the Bush administration’s national security team. As rival factions fought for the president’s ear, the transformative ideals espoused by the neocons gained ascendancy-triggering a rift that has split the Republican foreign-policy establishment to its foundations.
The inner circles of the U.S. national security community-members of the (…) -

2 comments=&values[1]=2287] Words Of Wisdom For President G.W. Bush Sam Hamod, Ph.D. March 3, 2005
Mr. President, if I may paraphrase General Eisenhower when speaking about Korea, he said, “I’m going to bring our troops home-now.” And he did. You should do the same in Iraq before more get killed, maimed or mentally disturbed. The only way you can conquer Iraq, as I said back when the war started, was to kill all Iraqis. Unfortunately, you and General Abizaid and the insane General Mattis, are (…) -

No Trust Left, In America Or In The World, For The Bush Administration Sam Hamod, PhD March 06, 2005 Princeton, NJ
The lies being told by the Bush administration to the American people about Social Security, about our “success” in Iraq, about the causes of attacks on our country and now the attempted killing of the Italian journalist, Ms. Guilana Sgrena, have become too much for anyone to believe. No intelligent American or foreigner believes anything emanating (…) -

Doublespeak Comes Easy To Bush Bill Gallagher March 08, 2005 ’’I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions." — Dorothy Day (1897-1980).
DETROIT - The hollow words of politicians dominate public life in America and the nonsense they spew is repeated, usually unchallenged, in the echo chambers corporate media dutifully provides. Their words are worshiped, their deeds escape (…)
