I speak for a man who gave for this land took a bullet in the back for his pay spilled his blood in the dirt and the dust and he’s come back to say
That what he has seen is hard to believe and it does no good to just pray he asks of us to stand, and we must end this war today

American Hegemony Is Not Guaranteed
Exactly as the British press predicted, last week’s congressional testimony by Gen. David Petraeus and Green Zone administrator Ryan Crocker set the propaganda stage for a Bush regime attack on Iran. On April 10 Robert H. Reid of AP News reported: "The top US commander has shifted the focus from al-Qaida to Iranian-backed ’special groups’ as the main threat . . . The shift was articulated by Gen.
