    by Helen Thomas
    WASHINGTON - It’s time for the Democratic Party to take a courageous stand and call for the withdrawal of troops from the senseless war in Iraq.
    Its human cost and the billion-dollar a week tab in Iraq should give all Americans pause.
    Would the Republicans have hesitated to challenge the Democrats if the shoe was on the other foot? Did the opposition party give former President Bill Clinton any slack while he was in office?
    What is the logic of Sens. Hillary Clinton, (…)

    by Cindy Sheehan
    I finally figured out George Bush’s NEW reason for staying in Iraq. This reason has also been co-opted by the Move America Forward (forward to what: Fascism?) and the poor mothers who would be honored if their sons were killed in George Bush’s war for greed and power.
    Since the Freedom and Democracy thing is not going so well and the Iraqi parliament is having such a hard time writing their constitution, since violence is mounting against Iraqis and Americans, and since (…)

    Michael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma mpwright9@aol.com
    In May 2004, Iowa television station KWWL broadcast an explosive report about the CIA and placed it online. The headline was "New Leads Implicate CIA, Government Officials In Child Prostitution Ring."
    The report was about Johnny Gosch, an 11-year-old newspaper delivery boy, living in Iowa, who was kidnapped in 1982. The crime is being investigated by former New York City detective James Rothstein, who believes that child (…)

    August 26, 2005-Although the revelation received predictably little attention in America’s corporate media on May 1, the Times of London reported on a top secret internal British government memo that proves that George W. Bush was lying through his teeth when he took this nation to war in Iraq.
    The leaked memo is now known as the "Downing Street Memo," referring to the prime minister’s residence. Its authenticity has not been (…)

My wish is not to offend anyone’s beliefs, only to open minds to new realms of understanding and to what just might be possible. I do not claim to be right, or to know the truth. Quite simply, I wish only for the reader to absorb this essay with an open mind, willing to (…)

    by Peter Fredson
    Conservative rage was apparent in blog comments on criticism of George Bush and his failure as a president in both peace and war. The anti-war movement, which is barely mentioned in the media, is gaining momentum. Some commentators wondered if public acceptance of Bush’s reasons for going to war would lead to his impeachment. A number of blogs mention that the Iraq quagmire is fast approaching that of Vietnam. Most blogs show a certain vehemence and very strong unwavering (…)

    CIA assassinated Italian Intelligence operative - Fox TV.
    By Liberal Republican
    A Talking head with glasses and light colored hair on Fox TV concluded, last night, that the supposed accidental killing of an Italian intelligence official was intentional.
    He went on to explain that it was retribution dealt out to the Italians for arranging a deal with the terrorists to release an aid worker held hostage. In fact the agent was shot while he was covering the released woman hostage with his (…)

    Tests on returning troops suggest serious health consequences of depleted uranium use in Iraq
    By Dave Lindorff
    Gerard Matthew thought he was lucky. He returned from his Iraq tour a year and a half ago alive and in one piece. But after the New York State National Guardsman got home, he learned that a bunkmate, Sgt. Ray Ramos, and a group of N.Y. Guard members from another unit had accepted an offer by the New York Daily News and reporter Juan Gonzalez to be tested for depleted uranium (…)

    –
    Reported on Wednesday, August 24, by a meager number of media outlets (a search on Google News produced all of ONE result, this, from Political Affairs Magazine) Congressman Jim Leach (R) of Iowa has become the first Republican to publicly announce that he would cosponsor the bill (H. Res. 375) by representative Barbara Lee (D) of California.
    The bill, a resolution of inquiry, introduced by Lee in the House of Representatives on July 20, 2005 and referred to the Committee on (…)

    A Slight Satire
    I once lived in Texas and know what them Bush whacker critters in Crawford think. Fer instance:
    Yeah, we brought them Iraqi bastards freedom and democracy, and got precious little thanks for it. We did it with 140,000 soldiers, Humvees, helicopters, fighter jets, cruise missiles, heavy tanks, large cannon, grenades, automatic rifles and all that other peacemaking (…)
