The war has really hit home with the tragic story of Lima Company, an entire squad decimated by injuries and death. A few days after losing several men in a firefight, the last of Lima company was traveling in a troop carrier when a remote-controlled bomb detonated beneath it, setting off hundreds mortar rounds, bullets, rockets and other explosives while 18 Marines were still trapped inside. All were seriously wounded or killed.
War is Hell.
One mother wrote that her Lima Co. (…)

The murderous fools are not trying to end the war;
they’re trying to keep it going as long as they can
May 24, 2005
The cat is out of the bag now.
It happened quite by accident, as most revelations do. And it is seen by most of the world as the most revolting of the American/Israeli atrocities in the past few years, although it’s hard to prioritize that claim because of the level and frequency of barbaric acts that are committed on a regular basis by those affluent automatons who (…)

First, I had never heard of Congressman Bachus before this. Now lots of people have heard of him. You’re welcome, Congressman, glad I could help get your Q rating up.
By the way, are we sure he’s really a Congressman? Maybe he’s just a guy with a fax machine. You know how fact checking goes these days.
I could go on and on, but this is too ridiculous, so I’ll just say this: I’m not a congressman, I’m a comedian. There’s nothing I can really do to help or hurt our troops (although anyone (…)

It is clear that wars are a product of the economic military cycle of profits how else can you explain boxes full of cash found in house to house searches in Iraq...
In this article the so called terrorists which now live in a bombed out and economically crippled country can feed their children what and obtain work how? It is no wonder that out of pure terror, confusion, and grief for their children or families some would blow themselves up for cash..that may save their children or loved (…)

EVEN BEFORE the Bush administration invaded Iraq in March 2003, human rights organizations were raising allegations of torture at U.S. prisons in Afghanistan.
At the time, the State Department dismissed their allegations as “ridiculous” (just as the White House recently feigned outrage when Newsweek claimed that Guantanamo interrogators flushed the Koran down the toilet—even as evidence surfaced that they urinated on it). As recently as December, military spokesperson Lt. Col. Pamela (…)

Greens: Congress Must Investigate Torture of Detainees, Pentagon’s Missing $1 Trillion Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld must be removed, say Green leaders, citing abuses of power.
WASHINGTON — May 24 — Green Party leaders called on Congress to begin immediate and far-reaching investigations of major abuses by the Pentagon:
* Evidence of torture and abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and abuse at facilities in the U.S., especially at (…)

Advice from Rep. John Conyers, D, MI
John Conyers, D, MI is a legendary figure in the Democratic Party. He served on the Judiciary Committee since 1964 (and was on that committee during
the Nixon impeachment hearings); he is a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus; has sponsored critical legislation; recently called for * to explain the pre-war Bush-Blair memo; and investigated election fraud in Ohio right after the election.
Why is this important: because fraud occurred (…)

These days, they are rather worried. They are of no use any longer ! They have lost their aura. The carpet is being withdrawn from underneath their feet. Worse, they might even lose their jobs. They have become a burden for their employer. You guessed whom I am talking about ! The mainstream media or their masters’ voice, the corporate media.
In the near past, these cacophonous trumpets, used to have an idol to worship. They were his press officers. Every morning there was an assembly to (…)

Using The Media For A Magic Trick Eugene Robinson May 24, 2005 I propose that the media spend less of their finite, precious resources doing what I’m doing right now: covering the media.
No, I don’t want to put all the media writers out of business. Yes, there are days when the making or unmaking of the story is the story. But please, not every day. If we covered government, business, foreign affairs, sports, entertainment and the rest of modern existence as aggressively and thoroughly (…)

The Tillman Scandal: "Newsweek" Error Bad, Pentagon Lying OK? Greg Mitchell (May 24, 2005) - Where, in the week after the Great Newsweek Error, is the comparable outrage in the press, in the blogosphere, and at the White House over the military’s outright lying in the coverup of the death of former NFL star Pat Tillman? Where are the calls for apologies to the public and the firing of those responsible? Who is demanding that the Pentagon’s word should never be trusted unless backed up by (…)
