    Washington - A bipartisan group of lawmakers called on Thursday on US President George W Bush to set a plan for the US withdrawal from Iraq, and said they would introduce legislation requiring him to do so.
    The two Democrats and two Republicans, including two former presidential candidates, said they expect a cool reception to their proposal from leaders in the US Congress, but are counting on spurring public debate on US goals in Iraq.
    "We’re giving the American people now a vehicle for (…)

    June 15, 2005
    Dear Fellow Eastern North Carolinian,
    In recent days there has been considerable press coverage on my position on America’s presence in Iraq. Despite what some media accounts have said, I want to make it crystal clear that I am NOT in favor of any immediate withdrawal nor do I support setting an end date at which time all troops must be out of Iraq.
    What I do support is a public discussion of our goals and the future of our military involvement in that country. The (…)

    There’s allot of imagination being used in this speech, too bad he failed to read his own words and warnings huh? Too bad that nobody could have imagined it. Is it inconceivable that they would "fix" the intelligence to distract people from their gross negligence and incompetence on S11 to engage in an unprovoked war because they failed to heed their own warnings?

    Progressive and Libertarian views on common ground in the Fear Age?
    As some of you know, someone close to me is involved in the Libertarian Party. As such is the case, I get to hear quite a bit about them.
    While we differ in opinion and belief on many issues with regard to economic justice, environmental policy, or any expansion of government services or regulation, there are a few very critical issues the the LP agrees whole-heartedly with we Progressives on:
    1. The need for (…)

    Last Friday, June 10, I entered the cafeteria in FHT Middle School in South Burlington, VT only to be greeted by a strange sight. A large screen had been set up on the stage, and adults were milling around and passing out flyers.
    I glanced down at a flyer on the nearest table, and was indignant to find that this invasion of my middle schools cafeteria had been orchestrated by none other than the Police and the Vermont National Guard.
    The point of the presentation was to encourage middle (…)

    "Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct. And can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period a great nation to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence. Who can doubt that in the course of time and things the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any (…)

    By Hal Lindsey © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
    The Israelis are reeling from the body blow delivered them by President Bush following his meeting with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. In one pronouncement, Bush totally scuttled all the hard-fought, blood-bought gains Israel has made in the three wars forced upon her.
    All peace negotiations and concessions by Israel in the pursuit of peace with the Muslim Nations and Palestinians since 1949 have been rendered null and void.
