    In funding of the Iraq War, supporters have thrown our soldiers under the bus By Mary MacElveen April 3, 2007
    As one reads where Senator Harry Reid may move to cut funds to this war in Iraq, it is time for Americans that voted for a change to come forth in support of this measure. It is time to rise and shine America. You can no longer hide in some fox hole oblivious to this war’s failure. As of today, 3,252 soldiers have lost their lives. Some see Reid’s call as being an uphill battle (…)

    An Open Letter to the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, M.P.
    Dear Mr Brown,
    Standing in Afghanistan, you called the Iranian holding of fifteen British sailors who it is likely strayed in to Iranian waters: ‘Cruel, callous, inhumane and unacceptable.’ Breathtaking.Compared to the behavior of the UK and US troops, their treatment in Iran is seemingly a health spa.

    Craig Murray, Barry Lando – Wake up from your Slumber.com March 28, 2007
    I have been unpopular before, but the level of threats since I started blogging on the captured marines has got a bit scary.
    It is therefore with some trepidation that I feel obliged to point this out.
    "The British Government has published a map showing the coordinates of the incident, well within an Iran/Iraq maritime border. The mainstream media and even the blogosphere has bought this hook, line and sinker. (…)

  • Why America Keeps Losing Wars

Bush was wisely advised not to go deeper into Iraq. But, after the end of that war, Europe and the U.S.A. (both) promptly entered and lost the Balkan Wars which never (…)
