    An Iraq vet named Charlie Anderson told me that he likes to get his photo taken with senators and House members, and then have his friend fiddle with the camera, so that Charlie gets to talk while the elected official has to stand there and smile. And this is what Charlie says: "Congressman, I work every day to try to end (…)

    "We’re in the express elevator to Hell, baby..." Bill Paxton "ALIENS"
    The real "surge" test is already underway in Iraq and all is strangley quiet on the Middle East front. I suspect it’s a false calm, but the Bushies are smiling in anticipation of telling the Dems "we told you so". I doubt they’ll have that opportunity, however, despite the negative Senate vote on Saturday (which the Reps are crowing about).
    It looks like all Hell will break out before a week is up. Afghanistan is (…)

    TBR News.org – February 10, 2007

Their invented serial numbers and markings on explosives used in Iraq provide ‘pretty good’ (…)

    Dear President Bush.
    As a united body, we hereby support a resolution to stop your SURGE of 21,500 troops to finally bring peace to Iraq.
    We want to leave the troops who are already there in place to continue the progress they’ve made over the last four years. We note many advances and successes (…)
