It is time for Congress to stop procrastinating about Iraq. Urge our congressional representatives to sign on to a bipartisan resolution, the Homeward Bound Act, calling for usurper Bush to come up with a plan by the end of this year to withdraw the troops from Iraq, and for the withdrawal to start no later than October 2006. The binding resolution is being sponsored by Reps. Walter B. Jones Jr., R-N.C., Ron Paul, R-Texas, Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii.

A Defeat Bred in Deceit Paul Craig Roberts
“Anyone who has proclaimed violence his method inexorably must choose lying as his principle.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When Bush decided, prior to September 11, to attack Iraq, he committed himself to lies and deceit. As his British co-conspirators realized, only victory could save them from the consequences.
On June 27, General George Casey, US commander of the “multinational coalition” in Iraq, told morning TV audiences that the conflict (…)

28 June 2005 -President George W. Bush has been forced to renew his efforts at selling the war in Iraq to the American people under conditions in which Washington’s military adventure has turned into a quagmire and popular support for a withdrawal of US troops has reached an all-time high.
Bush is set to deliver a rare prime-time television address Tuesday night, using massed troops at Fort Bragg in North Carolina as his backdrop. The setting is itself highly significant, casting the (…)

How America Uses Aid As A Pretext For Intervention Ali Fayyad Edited by Rob Gibran June 25, 2005 Washington’s decision to send food aid to North Korea, rather than a purely humanitarian act spurred by deep sentiments of benevolence, brotherhood and care for one’s fellow man, is a cold, calculated decision to further its political, economic and military interests.
In a new development on the North Korean front, the American government has decided to send a 50,000 ton shipment of food aid (…)

Government Of The Ignorant, By The Ignorant And For The Ignorant Doug Thompson June 28, 2005
Emily, who sends me emails when she gets upset over something I write (which is often) didn’t care much for Monday’s column calling President Bush and those who follow him idiots.
“You have to be the most arrogant, self-centered, smug, overbearing bastard on the Internet,” she wrote.
Sorry Emily but you’re wrong. My parents were married when I was born. But four out of five ain’t bad.

(Betrayal by some of our Democratic Party elected officials- Read entire text Immediately) The North Carolina Senate Judiciary I committee (almost all democrats) gutted our election reform bill. They have stripped the greatest protection against fraud and inaccuracy: Voter-Verified Paper Ballots. Without the voter being able to verify a paper ballot no meaningful audit or recount can occur. This leaves our elections up to voting machine companies and not up to the voters.
We cannot (…)

A US military helicopter has crashed in Afghanistan, the military has said.
The Chinook helicopter went down in the eastern province of Konar while carrying troops, the statement said.
The cause of the crash was not known, nor was the fate of the passengers. A Chinook helicopter can carry up to 54 passengers plus a crew of four.
The military said the aircraft had been participating in an anti-guerrilla operation. It was the second US Chinook to crash in the country this year.

Bush’s War Against Iraq Is Ruining America Paul Craig Roberts June 27, 2005
Last Friday the price of light sweet crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange for August delivery closed 16 cents short of $60/barrel - the highest price ever and an ironic outcome for the millions of Americans who believe that cheap oil was the reason for Bush’s invasion of Iraq.
Equally shocking to Americans was the announcement that China has outbid US oil giant Chevron for the American oil company, (…)

Embassies For Sale Want To Become Bush’s Next Ambassador? Georg Mascolo June 27, 2005 Want to become a US ambassador? It’s not as hard as you may think. Just donate a couple of hundred thousand to President George W. Bush’s campaign coffers and pick your city. The president’s new cadre of diplomats tend to be generous campaign donors, including the wealthy Ohio ball-bearing manufacture who is expected to run the US Embassy in Berlin.
It’s possible that David Wilkins, 58, is just a tad (…)

Karl Rove Can’t Lie His Way Out Bill Gallagher June 28, 2005 Detroit - Cynicism is the soul of George W. Bush’s presidency and Karl Rove, the man he calls his "brain," speaks out loud the thoughts lurking in the president’s ruthless but muddled mind. Rove is the most vile, despicable, duplicitous, power-addicted, war-mongering, lying neo-fascist in the administration, save Dick Cheney and the man who lets them run the government for him. Rove’s cynicism is a perfect reflection of Bush’s (…)
