- It's a shame they missed. This current administration needs to be removed from office and if the taliban can do it I applaud them. The bush administration is killing out service members, bankrupting our country and commiting the same war crimes we (the US) have accused Hussain of in the past. ie invading a country (that did not possess WMDs)for personal reasons. Isn't that wy we went got involved with the gulf war? It was because Hussain invaded Kuwait for oil right? Why are we in Iraq since there are no WMDs? Oh that's right to execute their leader and get oil that we will never see. In the process we are indirectly the killer of 10's maybe even 100's of thousands of Iraqis along with 3000+ US service members. In case people have forgotten by the twisting facts of the government 9/11 wasn't Iraq it was Afganistan and Hussain didn't have stockpiles of WMDs like we lied to the world and said we were tracking. So why are we there?
What's next Iran, North Korea and Venezula? We'll be weak and bankrupt for sure allowing our enemies an easy victory on invading and causing mass casualties in our country. Good job bush. - Reply to this comment
- What's the matter Dead Eye? Those deferrments ONLY work whey you keep you slimy butt home. ROFLMAO Maybe another confederate Battle Flag would have scared them off? ROFLMAO This pathetic losers are in WAY over their heads folks. They are nothing but a bunch of Religious Reich Lap Dogs. Corporations, who shaw a chance to gain some things they had NEVER been able to get the honest way, used the same methods to sell us these Incompetent Creatures they use to sell you drain cleaner. Today, as we speak, all of europe is rolling in laughter about the absolutely INSANE statements made over the Weekend about Hitler and the Second World War by our "Secretary of State". These Southern Fascist are EMBARRASSING and are going to get us all killed.

- lars008 quotes Teddy Roosevelt, who said a lack of ethical values brings corruption and death to the Republic, itself.
----
Today, TR might add an unprincipled scrambling for power at any cost to the American people, their constitution and their way of life.
In November, 2005, Bush faced an assembly of party members critical of his NSA spying program. Bush bristled like a teenager caught drinking after curfew-- "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It's just a GD)((#@*! piece of paper!"
Is this figure, who claims to be president of the United States, the same who pledged an oath to "protect, preserve and defend" the document he calls a "GD)((#@*! piece of paper"?
Bush, alone, brought more Big Brother surveillance into the United States than any other president in history, yet there never has been a president so inept in carrying out the mandate of the American people.
Any administration which lies to its people deserves what it gets-- the basic element of any political and social contract is trust in the honesty of leadership. - Reply to this comment

- bluestardad-- We should expect Bush and Cheney to be increasingly indifferent to the debacle they leave in their wake.
From prospective war with Iran (encountering a belligerent Russia) to continuing their disaster in Iraq (which of course is making "great progress")-- not to mention salvaging their long-ignored "front" in Afghanistan-- we can expect some radical and destructive behavior from the two as their control of events fades rapidly.
For Bush and Cheney, attempts at damage control merely make matters worse. Both are progressively isolated from the American people, and mentally blinkered. Not a good prescription for the next two years, as we enter interesting times. - Reply to this comment

- "Now is the seedtime of continental union, faith and honor. The least fracture now, will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; the wound would enlarge with the tree, and posterity read in it full grown characters."
Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776
"Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing."
Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791
"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

- Bush is playing all of us against each other! In one hand he is touting the Red White and Blue war on Terror against everyone who attacked us on 911 and on the other hand he is funding Al Qaeda to destabilize an counter other governments in the Middle East! The recently resigned terrorist Czar ask for a demotion to deputy Secretary of State Because he did not want to be tangled up with another Iran Contra style Funding Fiasco that is going on in Lebanon. Here is the stream read it yourself!

Just copy up to the Hersh on the news stream this web site is adding a n on the end of the paste!
Iran Contra, al Qaeda Lebanon same oh same oh! The Bush Administration is covertly supporting a minimum of three Sunni al Qaeda organizations in Lebanon to act as a buffer against the Shiite Hezbollah. Yes and the money is coming from the billions of dollars unaccounted for from Iraq! This support is not regulated by Congress, is in direct contravention to the WAR on TERROR the NEOCONS expound, and is under the same pretext as the Iran Contra Scandal of the late 1980s! This was reported by Wolf Blitzer yesterday on CNN and again tonight!

- Appeal for Redress
Sign this Appeal.
This site is an Appeal For Redress in support of our mission in Iraq.
An Appeal For Redress is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.
It is authorized by DoD Directive 1325.6 and DoD Directive 7050.6.
The wording of the Appeal for Redress is:
As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.
Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.
This Appeal will be delivered to members of Congress.

- "But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."
John Adams, letter to Abigail Adams, July 17, 1775
"Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it."
John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776
"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."
John Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
"Let justice be done though the heavens should fall."
John Adams, letter to Elbridge Gerry, December 5, 1777

- Cheney "was safely within the base at the time of the explosion."
Well, of course he was. Neither he nor Bush would risk their own lives. They proved that during the Vietnam quagmire when they both used every means at their disposals to dodge the draft.
Too bad the Constitution does not require the "commander in chief" and his vice consul to actively serve on the front lines during "war."
We wouldn't have any more "wars" so long as Repubs were in office. that's for sure. - Reply to this comment
- Cheney sends men and women off to what could be their deaths everyday - and is making money of them.
As far as I'm concerned, Cheney can rot in hell with GW Bush for all I care.
I'll bet that coward heads right back to the safety of his home - while the brave men and women who wear the uniform remain behind. - Reply to this comment
