  • This is democracy? Ignoring the will of the people in both US and Iraq, US launches attack on Iraqis

    US military generals have admitted that 99% of insurgents are Iraqis fighting to defend their country...why does Fox News and our government continue lie to us? The growing disconnect between the Corporate News/govt and reality is starting to show them as being completely insane! And their assumption that we will believe anything they say...ludicrous! BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military launched a major combat operation Friday, sending 1,000 Marines and Iraqi soldiers to hunt for (…)

  • Rep. Jones, Resolving To Follow His Heart

    It started at a military funeral about two years ago, this heartache that Republican Walter B. Jones says has gripped him and won’t let go.
    It’s the kind of pain that gnaws and prods. So much so that it pushed the North Carolina congressman to begin writing to other families of dead servicemen and women. (He’s up to at least 1,300.) Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-N.C.) with one of the posters of troops killed in Iraq on the wall outside his office.
    And to collect pictures of the fallen. (…)

    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.

    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:
