"Hey, hey, LBJ.
How many kids did you kill today?"
In alignment with this tradition, I suggest the current similar chant for today’s antiwar demonstrations. The chant addresses George W. Bush:
"Excuse me, GWB.
How many coffins will there be?"
My memoirs about the Vietnam war years and antiwar activism are online at (…)

We now know most of the information given to us by the current Administration concerning Iraq, if not all the information, was false. This was information given to the American people to justify a war.
The information about weapons of mass destruction and a link to Osama Bin Laden scared the American people into supporting the war in Iraq.
They presented an atmosphere of intimidation that suggested if we did not act immediately there was the possibility of another ! attack. Bush said (…)

The evidence for the US Government having deliberately lied to the people of this nation to trick them into supporting a war of conquest is now overwhelming. The Downing Street Memos, the "Dodgy Dossier", the forged Nigerian "Yellow Cake" papers, Colin Powell’s fraudulent presentation to the UN, .etc .etc .etc all establish a clear pattern of intentional deception.
The government lied to us all. The mainstream media helped them do it. So did Israel. Yes, all those necessary hundreds of (…)

VHeadline.com guest commentarist Mary MacElveen writes: A statement made by Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman in relation to Saudi Arabia, truly boggles the mind where he said, “As the world’s largest producer and as the world’s largest consumer, our two countries have a special relationship." He then went onto say “We are, at least in certain respects, partners" ... he made these statements earlier in the year with his Saudi counterpart Ali al-Naimi.
