    "The military families are so deserving of support, I think of what it must be like to have a son or daughter in Iraq, knowing they’re in harm’s way, knowing that there is not a military victory to be won, and to me it’s an obligation to support them and an honor to support them."
    "If we really love our troops as the military families do," Kucinich told the crowd, "we should bring them home"

    A recent survey by University of Maryland’s prestigious Program on International Public Attitudes, shows that only 46 percent of Americans think that "bombing and other attacks intentionally aimed at civilians" are "never justified," while 24 percent believe these attacks are "often or sometimes justified." Reported (here )
    Nearly all Muslims including children know that majority of the acts of terror, especially 9/11, East Africa, London, Madrid, Bali, Bombay and Jakarta are not the work (…)

  • Xenomentalists: Why soldiers continue the fight in Iraq

    Many wonder why so many U.S.soldiers continue to tell the Press that "we must continue fighting as long as it takes, and we’ll eventually win".
    The answer has a lot to do with what we "are" as citizens of the US of A.
    I think there are three distinct reasons why it’s easy to persuade US troops to continue "the good fight" in Iraq.
    1. Xenophobia. Many ignorant (read: ill educated) young Americans have a basic distrust,even hatred, of anyone who isn’t Christian, has dark skin, wears (…)

    Old Europe and the Mullah
    February 22, 2007
    by Philip Giraldi
    There has been a noticeable shift in the rhetoric emanating from the proponents of war with Iran, almost certainly due to the perception that armed conflict with Tehran will not be as easy a sell as was Iraq. The shift is most marked within the Bush Administration itself, where daily attacks on Iran that started with the State of the Union message on January 10th have largely disappeared and where both civilian and military (…)

    "There comes a time when you have to turn mother’s picture to the wall and get out".....Brad Dextere, "The Magnificent Seven"
    Without a "by your leave", several countries are beginning the slow dribble, pulling troops from the Iraq conflict. Among these is Italy (already gone under Prodi’s new government), Bulgaria,Hungary,Romania (they changed their minds),Denmark and now the redoubtable fighting forces of Lithuania and of course Great Britain.

    "Fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here"
    By Dr. June Scorza Terpstra
    The tired old slogan "We’re fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here" is being parroted once again by Democrats and Republicans alike .
    Just who are the "we" and who are "they"?
    Are the "we" the military generals who need perpetual war to use up old war products and try out the new while making a profit for Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, (…)
