    The neo cons’ grand design lies in ruins. America’s political leadership will abandon Iraq and the neo-cons. An Iraq exit plan is now in the final stages. The only question is how rapidly the Americans will leave.
    There isn’t a Republican drawing breath, war hawk John McCain included, who wants to campaign in 2008 on a diplomatic and military horror show produced and directed by a Republican White House and a GOP-controlled Congress. Among Republicans, (…)

    As a former Republican, I would never support Peter King and Joe Lieberman By Mary MacElveen November 4, 2006

    Pentagon Cover-Up of Army Base Disaster
    By Peter Fredson
    November 4, 2006
    I have searched all the major newspapers in vain for the greatest Iraqi disaster this year. There seems to be a massive cover-up of hundreds of American dead, not to mention many Iraqis. This October Surprise may prove to be the undoing of Secretary Rumsfeld, if not George Bush. I found the story on several blogs by surfing the Internet.
    The original story was written by Brian Harring on this link: (…)

    February 15th, 2003: Little did we know By Mary MacElveen
    November 3, 2006
    On February 15th, 2003, the world came together to tell Bush that we did not support his invasion of Iraq, but little did we know at that time the extent of the damage that would be done.

I use that figure of 655,000 based upon the publication (…)

    As Democrats, we must not fear in speaking of God By Mary MacElveen November 3, 2006
