    By Howard Zinn
    Now that most Americans no longer believe in the war, now that they no longer trust Bush and his Administration, now that the evidence of deception has become overwhelming (so overwhelming that even the major media, always late, have begun to register indignation), we might ask: How come so many people were so easily fooled?
    The question is important because it might help us understand why Americans-members of the media as well as the ordinary citizen-rushed to declare (…)

    Another slap in the face to Veterans, compliments of our Senators -at the same time claiming to support our Veterans! Feel free to spread this all over the net.
    Late Wednesday, March 22, 2006, the House Republican leadership turned down an amendment from Rep. John Salazar, (D-CO)., to add $650 million to the Veterans Administration’s health care budget. Salazar, who recently joined the House Veterans Affairs Committee, said the additional VA money is needed because the Army’s own studies (…)

  • The “Noble Cause” That Killed Casey Sheehan
    28 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    March 24, 2006 By Mike Whitney
    A lot of rubbish has been written about “religious faith” lately. The fact is, there’s a force more powerful than faith: the power of denial. America has completely surrendered to denial; abandoning any claim to reason or clear-sighted analysis. The vast majority of people are perfectly content to ignore the telltale signs of looming disaster choosing instead to keep their heads firmly tucked in the sand.
    Is it really that hard to see what’s happening?
    Is (…)

    JAMES CARROLL Rumsfeld and the big picture By James Carroll | March 27, 2006
    ’’FORTUNATELY, history is not made up of daily headlines, blogs on websites, or the latest sensational attack," Donald Rumsfeld wrote in a Washington Post op-ed column last week. ’’History is a bigger picture, and it takes some time and perspective to measure accurately."
    Rumsfeld was arguing that any evaluation of the present catastrophe in Iraq should take a longer view, and I agree with him. Indeed, I have (…)

  • Bush Makes Iraq the Vital Reason for His Impeachment and Removal
    28 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    4 comments

    George W. Bush has clarified the most vital reason why he must be impeached and removed from office as soon as possible: the slaughter in Iraq, and his clear statement that it will not end while he is in the White House.
    Bush has made his departure the light at the end of the tunnel.
    If he stays, more killing is inevitable. If he goes, a quicker end to the war is not certain, but it is more likely. Nobody expects Dick Cheney to pull out of Iraq if he succeeds Bush. But a successful (…)
