Iraq War Veterans: Commanders Encourage War Crimes

Returning Iraqi War veterans have been charging that the unofficial Army policy on the ground in Iraq is to murder civilians, in short, war crimes. Is this condoned and encouraged because the military feels they are the biggest ape in the jungle and who will dare prosecute them?

The answer to those who feel they are beyond morality, beyond accountability: the Universe will dare.

"The killing of innocent civilians is policy. It's unit policy and it's Army policy. It's not official policy, but it's what's happens on the ground everyday. It's what unit commanders individually encourage." -- Iraq War veteran Mike Blake

John McCain doesn't remember his position on condoms

Is it age or just 7 years of not being curious (or interested) in anything but war?

According to Adam Nagourney of the NYT:

A transcript of the encounter follows. (Weaver is John Weaver, his senior adviser, and Brian is Mr. Jones, his press secretary):

Reporter: “Should U.S. taxpayer money go to places like Africa to fund contraception to prevent AIDS?”

Mr. McCain: “Well I think it’s a combination. The guy I really respect on this is Dr. Coburn. He believes – and I was just reading the thing he wrote– that you should do what you can to encourage abstinence where there is going to be sexual activity. Where that doesn’t succeed, than he thinks that we should employ contraceptives as well. But I agree with him that the first priority is on abstinence. I look to people like Dr. Coburn. I’m not very wise on it.”

(Mr. McCain turns to take a question on Iraq, but a moment later looks back to the reporter who asked him about AIDS.)

Mr. McCain: “I haven’t thought about it. Before I give you an answer, let me think about. Let me think about it a little bit because I never got a question about it before. I don’t know if I would use taxpayers’ money for it.”

Q: “What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”

Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”

Q: “I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?”

Mr. McCain: (Laughs) “Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception – I’m sure I’m opposed to government spending on it, I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it.”

Q: “But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?”

Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) “Get me Coburn’s thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn’s paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I’ve never gotten into these issues before.”

This went on for a few more moments until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune broke in and asked Mr. McCain about the weight of a pig that he saw at the Iowa State Fair last year.

Anti-Immigration=Higher Food Prices

You may want to grow your own tomatoes this summer.....peaches, oranges, lemons......etc. etc... The largest tomato grower in Pennsylvania is shutting down his operations due to inability to find the farm laborers to harvest his tomatoes. Ekel's farm supplied tomatoes to grocery stores and restaurants across the east coast.

I remember the last time we allowed the folks who wee here illegally to be given amnesty and allowed to become citizens. It didn't affect our pocketbooks and our economy grew.....there were no economic hardships due to the last amnesty. I think folks are creating more economic problems with their xenophobia.

Yoo Hoo.. A Republictarian Shout Out

Republitarian--Here's the info you wanted.
Senate Bill 3930 The United States Military Commissions Act of 2006.

The final version of the bill did grant a type of retroactive immunity to Bush et al by making it much more difficult to prosecute them in court for war crimes under existing law. They redefined torture and this exempted Bush et al from future prosecution for war crimes AND provides them with FREE legal counsel should they ever be tried (courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer of course). Bush and Cheney think of everything don't they? This is the bill that eliminated Habeus Corpus and US recognition of the Geneva Convention.

The latest Bush/Cheney attempt at retroactive immunity is the FISA bill that is thankfully stalled in the Democratic House. The Bush White House is very worried that if the court case is allwed to proceed (civil suit against the telecommunications companies ) then the American people will find out that the illegal surveillance began soon after Bush took office and long before the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon.

Hope this helps. Now could you assist me in getting registered on your blog so I may comment in the future? I tried to post this as a comment on your blog to give you the info you requested but I wasn't able to register. I never received an email with a password....plus I misspelled my name...So I'm giving you the info you wanted via post...Would you allow me to sign up again as Mosquito...so I can try to get a password sent to my email?

One Voice

I've got news for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, James Carville, and all the corporate controlled status quo power players in our government and our media.....We are sick of your joy of dividing us, smearing others, and fighting for the joy of it.

We need a President who doesn't "enjoy" fighting. We have had enough of the war mentality. We have had enough of the dirty Rove style of campaigning....we have had enough of the win at all costs mentality....It is bankrupting us economically and morally.

We are the deciders now. We are choosing to turn our back on your old destructive ways of doing things. The time for positive change is now.

Republican Mike Huckabee Defends Barack Obama

Hillary Clinton and her media lapdogs are misleading us

Hillary Clinton doesn't want the corporate media vetting and "highlighting" the fact that her foreign policy experiences are built on lies , or if you prefer to "gild the pill," you may prefer to say "numerous misstatements." Regardless of what you call it, Hillary Clinton is mis-leading us.

So Hillary throws the Rev. Wright ball back at her media lapdogs and her media lapdogs start chasing the ball again. Some of them "might" mention some of Hillary's foreign policy lies but it won't be "highlighted" and examined like the Rev. Wright affair has been.

The corporate media has already spent the month of March smearing Obama for "guilt by association."

Meanwhile, the majority of us are "sick" of this story and the blatant corporate media bias that is attacking Obama relentlessly while giving Clinton and McCain the kid glove treatment. At the same time, the corporate media is saying they've been "hard" on Hillary Clinton.

Oh yeah? It's hard to get the media to spend two solid days on a breaking story where Hillary herself (not some associate) has lied about her foreign policy experience numerous times and has gotten away with it, so far. It's NAFTAGATE coverage all over again. (There is now proof that Hillary has lied about her history with NAFTA--she actively supported NAFTA but this has not received the media coverage it deserved.)

The corporate media has been handed a major scoop. A candidate who has made foreign policy a major element of her fitness to become our president has been caught making numerous "misstatements" and there is no foreign policy experience.

According to Fact Check:

• Clinton claims to have "negotiated open borders" in Macedonia to fleeing Kosovar refugees. But the Macedonian border opened a full day before she arrived, and her meetings with Macedonian officials were too brief to allow for much serious negotiating.

• Clinton's activities "helped bring peace to Northern Ireland." Irish officials are divided as to how helpful Clinton's actions were, and key players agree that she was not directly involved in any actual negotiations.

• Clinton has repeatedly referenced her "dangerous" trip to Bosnia. She fails to mention, however, that the Bosnian war had officially ended three months before her visit – or that she made the trip with her 16-year-old daughter and two entertainers.

• Both Bill and Hillary Clinton claim that Hillary privately championed the use of U.S. troops to stop the genocide in Rwanda. That conversation left no public record, however, as U.S. policy was explicitly to stay out of Rwanda, and officials say that the use of U.S. troops was never considered.

Clinton's tough speech on human rights delivered to a Beijing audience is as advertised, though Clinton herself has been dismissive of speeches that aren't backed by solutions.

See for yourself what the Irish think of Hillary Clinton's contributions to their peace talks.

Hillary Clinton loves to spread the myth that she's been vetted. But the corporate media has not covered her participation in NAFTA that has recently come to light. Nor is the corporate media adequately covering the fact that Clinton does not have the foreign policy experience that she claims. Hillary Clinton released the First Lady's appointment book section of her White House Records. But Clinton still refuses to release her telephone logs and her work on Health care and Health insurance are also being held back. Let's not forget that her income tax records (that is a standard release for all presidential contenders) remain hidden. (Barack Obama has released his tax returns from 2000 to the present day). Hillary Clinton is not being open, she is hiding too much from us. There is no way to "vet" a candidate unless the records are accessible. What smoking guns do these records contain?

Why won't the corporate media give us the coverage we deserve? Most of the voters in the next two upcoming primaries--Pennsylvania and North Carolina--don't have the information they need to make an informed vote.

"Maybe" the corporate media does not care if the voters have the information they need so that we can have a democratic election. "Maybe" the corporate media has their own agenda--a corporate agenda--and they are favoring the two candidates--Clinton and McCain--so the status quo remains and no real change occurs. Then the corporate influence and corporate welfare in Washington DC will continue unabated.

IF the shoe was on the other foot, and it was Obama who had done what Hillary Clinton has been caught doing....it would be a slam dunk and Obama would be out of the race. Unfortunately, the people's candidate--Obama--continues to have higher hurdles and has to live with a different set of rules than the other two "corporate approved" presidential candidates.

I also am incredulous that the Democratic party's "Super Delegates" are sitting idly by while Hillary Clinton's campaign continues their homicidal campaign against Barack Obama. A campaign that is also suicidal. If Hillary Clinton continues in this race it will result in Clinton making herself "un-electable" and unless the Democrats can come up with a viable candidate, John McCain could be our next president.

Heaven forbid.

Buzz....Buzz....

Phil Donahue Speaks Out

Phil Donahue, who was fired from CBS for questioning the march to war in 2003, speaks out now. He was the smart one in the room, everyone else just joining the lockstep into disaster:

Hillary's 3 a.m. Girl Speaks Out.

Corporate Media Distorts the News.

Will the Corporate Media report that their favorite Presidential Contender--John McCain--is breaking the law on campaign finances? Or will they ignore this in the same way they ignored the ignorance he displayed in his "strength"-- foreign policy--when he spoke to the press in Iraq? McCain has made this area on at least three different occasions? McCain is having difficulty identifying the major players in Iraq. He confuses the Sunni's, Shias, and Al Qaeda. Iran has ties with the Shias but is not affiliated with Al Qaeda which has stronger ties with the Sunnis.

Other real news that is ignored involve multiple instances of Hillary Clinton's versions of her "experience" not matching the reality of other participants. Hillary's historical recall of "not" supporting NAFTA has been refuted by other participants. Hillary's alleged foreign policy experiences have been debunked by other participants. Yet Hillary is still repeating and dramatizing her latest fantasy--that she and Chelsea were under sniper attack and bravely risked their lives going where no President could go. She does this knowing that the press corps has footage showing that there was no sniper fire and that a welcoming ceremony took place instead. (I wish the media would show this footage and compare it with Hillary Clinton's account of reality. The comedienne Sinbad stepped up to the plate and let the cat out of the bag. Why does Clinton continue to lie and McCain doesn't bother to correct his errors? They seem confident that the media isn't going to "highlight" their negatives.

Unfortunately the media is not "highlighting" issues when it comes to Clinton and McCain. Instead they want to "highlight" the Rev. Wright, who is not running for president, in a blatant attempt to "throw the kitchen sink" at Barack Obama.

The corporate media has become so biased in it's coverage of Barack Obama that two Fox commentators actually rose to the occasion to be journalists (if only for a moment). Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy got so out of hand with their Obama bashing that Brian Kilmeade actually walked off the set during a live broadcast. Chris Wallace was so disgusted by the two hours of Obama bashing and distortion of Obama's "typical white person remark" that Wallace called Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy out for their outrageous behavior. Wallace asked them to move on to the real news of the day....for example, Richardson's endorsement of Obama. Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy are sell outs willing to repeat whatever story line their corporate bosses pay them to say. The hell with the truth when it comes to characters like these. The FCC should force Fox to have a "this is not true; this is not news" disclaimer on whenever Carlson or Doocy are on the air.

Americans are tired of the guilt by association that the media is constantly throwing at Obama. We realize that all of us have imperfect friends, family, business associates, political associates. This type of media tactic means that no one is safe from being smeared by corporate media. It does not mean we are criminals if we have a friend who is in jail, or is an ex con. Thank heavens their audience continues to drop. Many folks are searching for alternative news sources that are more respectable than the current corporate media news outlets.

Why doesn't the corporate media get it? We are asking them for fair balanced coverage of ALL the Presidential contenders. Don't bash Obama and his religion and ignore the pertinent question on religion surrounding both Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Report the issues so we know what's going on and then move on to the other important issues like ECONOMICS, ENVIRONMENT (has the media asked any candidate "anything" about the nuclear issue (pro's and cons) and covered the rapid developments in alternative energy?? HEALTHCARE--IRAQ (which they often fail at giving us a big picture with the whole story of what's going on.....) and so on...

Unfortunately, the owners of corporate media do get it. They prefer to give us news that is biased with a corporate slant so that they can continue to get rich at our expense. Unfortunately, if we want to live in a functional democracy we need to get some reliable, ethical journalists to provide us sound, reliable information so that we can all make well informed decisions when we cast our votes. The Fairness Doctrine helped curb biased corporate media reports. I think The Fairness Doctrine needs to be reinstated and enforced asap. That would help curb some of the excesses.

When Experience is a Negative

If Hillary had always fought the good fight -- whether as First Lady or U.S. Senator -- and then simply told the simple truth about it, her experience might have been a plus. But this year is an unfavorable one for the wholesale market of manipulation and swindling. Too many people were already primed to reject it.--P M Carpenter

The White Presdient of the United Church of Christ ...

Another Truth Teller.....The Reverend John Thomas.

Some White Americans Agree with Rev. White

Say what you will about the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. But no one has had the audacity (yet) to call him a liar....In fact, I believe that the Reverend Wright speaks truth to power....and whenever one does that effectively they can expect a BACKLASH from the establishment of almost biblical proportions.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright is a patriotic American when he speaks his truth. Our very own President Theodore Roosevelt said, ""To announce that ... we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Last night, I was disappointed in CNN's coverage of Rev. Wright, the United Church of Christ, and Black Liberation theology. CNN said they were going beyond the sound bite. However, I knew that it was going to be a hack job when I saw them bring Ken Blackwell in as a critic of Black Liberation Theology. I suspect that the average viewer would think Ken Blackwell was an expert on religious matters. Instead, Ken Blackwell is a black, right wing extremist in the Republican party, who is better known as the "Katherine Harris of Ohio." Too make matters worse, there are many allegations that Blackwell repressed the vote in Ohio's black community. IF CNN was seriously reporting on Black Liberation Theology they should have used a theologian not an unidentified Right Wing Republican party hack.

Thankfully, not everyone in America is marching in lockstep with the propaganda from the corporate media. We are sick of the divisiveness and the petty personal attacks that take the place of any discussion of major critical issues that need to be addressed. We are tired of being distracted from these important issues. We want change and we want it now. The few that have made huge profits from the status quo are powerful and will do whatever it takes to prevent change from occurring.

The Rev. Wright and the United Church of Christ are doing "good works" in this world. In fact, the Rev. Wright is a strong advocate of peace and non-violence. He is also VERY effective at getting people off their butts and talking about controversial issues like race. At least Barack Obama's church is not a secret organization grooming the select few who are anointed by God to rule over us. It's not an anti-democratic, anti-union religion. But the same cannot be said for Hillary Clinton...yet the media is definitely NOT reporting on her religion--the Fellowship. The Fellowship is a religion that does need media scrutiny since so many Republicans and right wing conservatives in our government are members. The Fellowship gets involved secretly in our government, especially in the area of Foreign Relations...... Look for the book that is coming out in May....

None of us want to be judged by a 30 second sound bite that is taken out of context. No one looks good in this sort of attack...I guess that is why it is used so often.

Maybe "some" of the Christians in America need to get a grip and remember that Christianity does not condone the judgemental attitude that is the modus operandi of the extreme right wing. If you believe in Jesus then follow him. Remember that Jesus said, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.”

Military Vets Deliver Arrest Warrants for Bush and Cheney

Military Veterans will deliver citizen arrest warranjts for George Bush and Dick Cheney. The warrants are for, "for multiple violations of the Constitution and international war crimes." The warrants will be delivered to the National Archives today. The veterans are honoring an oath they took, "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

It's a tragedy that the President, Vice President, and our Congress have not honored the oaths they took.

More on the True Face of the War in Iraq

Iraq has been reduced to a cartoon in many Americans' eyes, thanks to the White House, Pentagon and Corporate Media. The war is now largely depicted as al Qaeda versus the Iraqi people and the noble Coalition forces. Well, that is as skewed a picture as we used to get about Vietnam, when we were told that the war there was the evil Viet Cong versus the Vietnamese people and their noble American protectors.

The war in Iraq is far more complex than that, just as the Vietnamese war was far more complex. In Iraq, there are five main factions, 1) the Shiites with their often warring militias, 2) the Sunnis with their various tribes and militias, 3) the al Qaeda faction, which actually overlaps the Sunni faction somewhat, because al Qaeda largely draws from the Sunni population and foreign volunteers who are also usually Sunni as best as I can tell, 4) the Kurds in the north, who have several often warring factions too, and 5) the Turkomen in the north, who are opposed by the Kurds and have strong support from Turkey, which has been crossing the Iraqi border to attack Kurdish guerrillas for several months.

Al Qaeda is the most difficult to figure out, because there are many, many contradictions about al Qaeda. First of all, the United States created and organized the forerunners of al Qaeda, the Mujadhedeen warriors fighting the old Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and al Qaeda itself, the term of which is often translated as "the Base", was actually apparently created from the "database" of Mujadhedeen members on computer lists.

Al Qaeda, their leader bin Laden (or so we are led to believe) and the CIA actually had some kind of ongoing murky relationship in the 1990's, the CIA utilizing al Qaeda "soldiers" against the Serbs in Kosovo during the NATO-led actions against Yugoslavia. In fact, there is confirmed evidence that the CIA and Pentagon were supporting elements of al Qaeda even a few weeks befor 9/11, as noted in this 2005 report:

Both the CIA and German intelligence (BND) supported the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), a terrorist organization with links to Al Qaeda.

This report by the German TV ZDF Network, reviewed by Mira Beham, is revealing in many regards.

First the report corroborates earlier analysis on the role of the BND and the CIA in supporting the KLA, several years prior as well as in the wake of the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia.

Second, it further documents and confirms the KLA's links to Al Qaeda and the role of the latter in the Kosovo conflict:

"What German journalists and their Dutch colleagues at VPRO Radio Television investigated has a long tradition. Since the beginning of the 1990s the BND has maintained contacts with the KLA, which was then considered to be a terrorist organization. Although we have to admit that the KLA has stronger ties with the CIA than the BND. Commander Hoxha had ties with the CIA, the BND and with the Austrian military intelligence service which has devoted great attention to this region and has very good connections with the KLA."

Despite its links to organized crime and Al Qaeda, the KLA rebel army had been skillfully heralded by the Western media in the months preceding the 1999 NATO bombings as broadly representative of the interests of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. Its leader Hashim Thaci had been "designated" (by US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright) as chief negotiator at the Rambouillet peace talks.

The fact of the matter is that the Atlantic Alliance had been supporting a terrorist organization. The KLA was not supporting the rights of ethnic Albanians. Quite the opposite..........

Macedonia August 2001: Central to an Understanding of 9/11

The reference in the report to Macedonia is crucial to an understanding of 9/11 and the war on terrorism, because it confirms that US military advisers had integrated a terrorist paramilitary organization linked to Al Qaeda, barely a few weeks before 9/11.

Moreover, it also confirms that US paratroopers were sent in to save the Al Qaeda sponsored fighters and their US military advisers.

"Samedin Xhezairi, also known as Commander Hoxha, joined the Kosovo Liberation Army when armed conflict in Kosovo began, fighting in three operation zones. He was a fighter in Chechnya, trained in Afghanistan and acted as the commander of the Mujahideen 112th Brigade operating in the summer of 2001 in the region of Tetovo [Macedonia]. In August of the same year 80 members of the 3/502 battalion of U.S. paratroopers evacuated him from Aracinovo [Macedonia], together with his Albanian extremists and 17 instructors of the U.S. private military company MPRI which was training the Albanian paramilitary formations."

In other words, the US military was collaborating with Al Qaeda, which according to the Bush administration was involved in the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon.

Yet, the US military was working hand in glove with "enemy number one" barely a few weeks before 9/11, and we are led to believe that the Bush administration is committed to waging a battle against Al Qaeda. Michel Chossudovsky, 15 February 2005

(source)

There was no viable al Qaeda presence in Iraqi territory before America invaded Iraq in 2003. There was only the maniacal Zarqawi, who had recently set up a training camp in northern Kurdistan, which was under the protection of the United States military and beyond Sadam Hussein's reach. Bush had been informed about Zarqawi's presence by the Pentagon, who wanted to take him out, but Bush refused their request, repeatedly. Why?

Al Qeada moved into Iraq proper only after we invaded, and the Pentagon itself revealed somewhat later that they actually began building up Zarqawi's mystique and influence through their propaganda mills to, to put it bluntly, scare everybody. Now that's amazing!

When did the CIA and American military actually sever their well-hidden ties with al Qaeda, if they ever did?

So just what is al Qaeda exactly and who directs and supports it? Bin Laden, you might say, but he is either holed up in a cave or village several thousand miles away OR DEAD. And there is actually powerful evidence that the real bin Laden has been dead since December, 2003. Benazir Bhutto actually said so, rather matter-of-factly, in an interview with David Frost just before she was slain.

Regarding Iraq, the Shiites, Sunnis and the very strangely affiliated al Qeada forces (or at least a tier of them) in Iraq all want American occupation forces out of their country. Al Qaeda, because of its utterly vicious penchant for slaughter, has angered many Sunnis who might otherwise sympathize with them, while the Shiites have never much liked al Qaeda. The non-al Qaeda Sunnis, who were fighting the Shiites, al Qaeda and the American military all at once, agreed to a bargain with what they tend to consider the Devil, the US Military, and signed on to the "Awakening Councils" to gain time and money and to concentrate on the other two foes. But now indications are that the Awakening Councils are starting to unravel, as noted in this video.



The United States, no matter how you cut it, is considered a brutal, deadly occupation force, which it absolutely is, and the vast majority of Iraqi Sunnis and Shiites all want America out. A recent poll of Iraqis showed that 70% want the U.S. to leave right now. The Iraqi government may say another thing, because they are largely divorced from the Iraqi people, some of them being utter American puppets, and are all hunkered down in the Green Zone, requiring troops and body-guards to go anywhere in the Red Zone.

Sunnis and Shiites have both set their intention to get rid of the Americans in their varying ways and strategies, whether it takes a year or decades, so to think that somehow the United States can defeat several thousand poorly understood al Qaeda fighters, if they have that many personnel in the first place, and all will live happily ever after is utterly delusional. We are, in actuality, still diametrically opposed by millions of Iraqis. There is no light at the end of this tunnel.

Noteable McCain Quote

“Of course I am going to misspeak and I've done it on numerous occasions and I probably will do it in the future.”--McCain

I have no doubt that you will.....McSame as Bush....

Hoping for change as soon as possible......

What the White House and John McCain Mean by Progress

As usual, Americans are getting massive does of lies, half-truths and propaganda to lead them to believe that "things are getter better everyday in every way" in Iraq, that the surge is working and Iraq is on the verge of becoming just another San Diego county, complete with shopping malls, sports teams and condominiums, with of course, lots of American military bases near by.

You would think that after five years, half a trillion dollars and hundreds of thousands of deaths, that the corporate media would at least get a little skeptical, but they aren't here to reveal the truth, rather to make you acquiescent to the agenda.

But the reality is far different in Baghdad and Iraq, as these two video clips reveal. Would you like to live in Baghdad right now?

Here's a sermon that makes lots of sense

If only more preachers had been speaking out like this in the week(s) prior to Bush, Cheney, and the Corporate Media rushing this nation off to an illegal invasion. Maybe if we had powerful, brave ministers like this more Christians would have searched their souls and listened to Jesus in their hearts....and maybe there would have been enough of us to give our Congress the courage to have countered the Bush/Cheney war plans.

Call me an idealist or whatever you want to call me. l will do what l must to keep hope alive so I will keep acting on my beliefs. I believe it's better than being apathetic....Apathy kills.....



Now the question is....are you going to let the corporate media spin and spread it's propaganda so "they" can annihilate the people's candidate and install another "corporate" president into the White House?

Hillary Clinton OPPOSES Same Sex Marriage

Do the "feminists" and LGBT supporters of Hllary Clinton know that she opposes same sex marriage and would have voted to pass the Defense of Marriage Act if she had been a member of the U.S. Congress. According to Hillary Clinton, "Marriage has got historic, religious, and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman."

It also appears that Hillary Clinton has a secret religious life. She belongs to a "secret" religious organization that is allegedly linked with George Bush, John Ashcroft, Condi Rice, Sam Brownback, ex Sen George Allen, Virginia's own Frank Wolfe and Pat Robertson. It is a religion that recruits powerful members who are anointed by God to be leaders and to rule the people. This version of believing in Jesus does not believe in democracy and is also anti-union.

There's a book coming out in May that will expose this religion and will reveal that Hilary Clinton is a member in high standing in this group. In the meantime, here are two sources to get you started-- Hillary's Nasty Pastorate and Hillary's Prayer: Hillary Clinton's Religion and Politics.

Questions for Bush, Cheney and US

Yesterday Dick Cheney said invading Iraq was the right thing to do and he is not bothered that over 70% of the US population disagrees with him. George Bush continues to say that invading Iraq to take Saddam Hussein out of power was an intelligent move.

Why hasn't the corporate media called these buffoons are their lies?

Remember back to the day of the invasion. Some of us were able to be glued to the television coverage before the bombing began. It was reported that a few hours BEFORE the invasion, Saddam Hussein offered to step down and go into exile with his sons and family. The Bush Cheney cabal basically said Saddam's offer was "too late" and they invaded Iraq anyway at the cost of over 1 million lives of innocent Iraqi civilians, US military casualties, and untold numbers of wounded soldiers and civilians.

This 3 trillion dollar war that has wrecked so many lives and the US economy, and created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world today, was easily avoided. We did NOT have to illegally invade Iraq to oust Saddam from power and continue monitoring and searching for WMD.

Why did we invade Iraq? This question remains unanswered to this day.

How can anyone forget that Saddam Hussein OFFERED to go into exile right before the invasion? Why haven't Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice been asked WHY they did not accept Hussein's offer to leave Iraq and continue with their illegal, immoral invasion?

Why haven't all of these war profiteering criminals been impeached?

Now that you know (or remember) that Saddam Hussein offered to leave Iraq BEFORE we invaded...what do you think should be done about the reckless, immoral actions of our Bush administration to continue with their plan to invade Iraq?
