Why We Must Support Our Veterans In Their March On DC By Karl W B Schwarz kwbschwarz2@snet.net 3-19-6 If you took the time to watch the Boston Legal video, the closing argument was very much addressing what is wrong in America today. Boston Legal Click here to play the video. Alan: Last night, I went to bed with a book. Not as much fun as a 29 year old, but the book contained a speech by Adlai Stevenson. The year was 1952. He said, "The tragedy of our day is the climate of fear in which we live and fear breeds repression. Too often, sinister threats to the Bill of Rights, to freedom of the mind are concealed under the patriotic cloak of anti-Communism." Today, it is the ...

Bush At The Tipping Point A Lawless And Incompetent Leadership By Ralph Nader 3-18-6 George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, two top outlaws smashing our country's rule of law and democratic liberties, are testing the American people's resistance. Every day they are testing. Every day they think by flaunting the words, "war on terror", they can get Americans to concede more and more of what makes the United States a constitutionally-abiding government under the rule of law. You know what? With not enough exceptions, they are right. Day by day, we're giving up what our forefathers fought to bequeath us since that famous Declaration of Independence of 1776. They were determined that ...

Government: Neither By the People Nor For the People On almost every major issue people are opposed to Bush and Blair Steve Watson | March 8 2006 A spate of different opinion polls within the last few months or so has revealed that on almost every major issue the people of the United States and the people of Britain, in the majority are directly opposed to the actions of their governments. Despite this the Bush and Blair governments continually cite the backing of the people in their respective countries and argue that they are nurturing freedom and Democracy at home and around the world. The major issue is still the ongoing war in Iraq. Back to front, top to bottom, left to right, any ...

WASHINGTON — At least 8,000 members of the all-volunteer U.S. military have deserted since the Iraq war began, Pentagon records show, although the overall desertion rate has plunged since the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001. Since fall 2003, 4,387 Army soldiers, 3,454 Navy sailors and 82 Air Force personnel have deserted. The Marine Corps does not track the number of desertions each year but listed 1,455 Marines in desertion status last September, the end of fiscal 2005, says Capt. Jay Delarosa, a Marine Corps spokesman. Desertion records are kept by fiscal year, so there are no figures from the beginning of the war in March 2003 until that fall. Some lawyers who represent deserters say ...

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military in Iraq said on Sunday media reports that America and Britain planned to pull all troops out of Iraq by spring 2007 were "completely false," reiterating that there was no timetable for withdrawal. Two British newspapers reported on Sunday that the pull-out plan followed an acceptance by the two governments that the presence of foreign troops in Iraq was now an obstacle to securing peace. But a spokesman for the U.S. military in Iraq reiterated previous statements by U.S. and Iraqi officials that foreign troops would be gradually withdrawn from the country once Iraqi security forces were capable of guaranteeing security.

Depleted Uranium Kills Indiscriminately By Christopher Bollyn American Free Press 3-3-6 ORMOND BEACH, Florida -- An alarmingly high percentage of U.S. military personnel who have served in Iraq have been afflicted by a variety of health problems commonly known as Gulf War Syndrome. Exposure to uranium spread through the use of depleted uranium (DU) weapons is thought to be the primary cause of the high rate of chronic ailments and mortality among Gulf War vets. While initial casualties from the first U.S. invasion of Iraq were light, long-term casualties from the 1991 war ultimately exceeded 30 percent, according to Terrell E. Arnold, former Chairman of the Department of International ...

LONDON (Reuters) - The United States and Britain are planning to pull all their troops out of Iraq by the spring of 2007, two British newspapers reported in their Sunday editions, quoting unnamed senior defense ministry sources. The Sunday Telegraph said the planned pull-out followed an acceptance by the two governments that the presence of foreign troops in Iraq was now a large obstacle to securing peace. "The British government is understood to be the driving force behind the withdrawal plan but all 24 coalition members are likely to welcome the move, given the growing international unpopularity of the war," the Telegraph said. The Bush administration and Pentagon have stated ...
Civilians Bearing Brunt of Iraq Violence

(03-02) 18:16 PST BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Insurgency-related violence last year killed more than twice as many Iraqi civilians — 4,024 people — as Iraqi soldiers and police, according to government figures obtained Thursday by The Associated Press. And the civilian death count in the first two months of this year already stands at more than one-quarter of last year's total — due in part to sectarian violence triggered by the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite shrine and car bombings in Shiite neighborhoods around Baghdad. The large number of civilian deaths — many in Baghdad, where 25 percent of the population lives — has created a climate of fear where parents are ...

Thursday March 2, 2006 Faik Bakir, the director of the Baghdad morgue, has fled Iraq in fear of his life after reporting that more than 7,000 people have been killed by death squads in recent months, the outgoing head of the UN human rights office in Iraq has disclosed. "The vast majority of bodies showed signs of summary execution - many with their hands tied behind their back. Some showed evidence of torture, with arms and leg joints broken by electric drills," said John Pace, the Maltese UN official. The killings had been happening long before the bloodshed after last week's bombing of the Shia shrine in Samarra. Mr Pace, whose contract in Iraq ended last month, said many ...

Is Iraq Civil War By Design? Turmoil stoked by staged bombings leads to ethnic cleansing and enslavement Paul Joseph Watson/Prison http://Planet.com | March 1 2006 The Associated Press is reporting that civil war looms in Iraq as bombings tear across the country. Is this disaster really a result of a failed foreign policy or is it a deliberate plan to initiate a policy of ethnic cleansing that will finally allow the Globalists to capture and dominate Iraq as they never could before? The agenda to maintain division and ethnic tension in Iraq can be seen as long term plan and the only way to finally capture and enslave a country that has historically thrown out its occupiers on every ...

Predicting The Neocon Plan To Nuke America A http://Rense.com Exclusive By Douglas Herman 2-28-6 How come all the war colleges and military schools, and all those right wing think tanks that ring Washington DC like the Asteroid Belt, could NOT figure out that maybe, just maybe, people in the Middle East would not want to be occupied? You would think that every one of those so-called institutes of higher learning would have remembered the American Revolutionary War. I predicted just one scenario of military failure (Shock And Awe Followed By Block To Block) at the outset of the Iraq War. So did many others, mostly former low-ranking US veterans.

Iraq shrine bombing was specialist job: minister AFP Fri Feb 24, 2006 BAGHDAD (AFP) - The bombing of a revered Shiite shrine which sparked a wave of violence in Iraq was the work of specialists, Construction Minister Jassem Mohammed Jaafar said Friday, adding that the placing of the explosives must have taken at least 12 hours. "According to initial reports, the bombing was technically well conceived and could only have been carried out by specialists," the minister told Iraqia state television. Jaafar, who toured the devastated thousand-year-old shrine on Thursday a day after the bombing which brought down its golden dome, said "holes were dug into the mausoleum's four ...

Consultations With Padre Kino: Regarding Dwarves (Fred Reed)

I have decided to become a drunk and live under a bench, maybe in a radiation suit. It only makes sense. The times are dire. Dark shapes twist in the international fog. The US, in the hands of puzzled children of low moral character, flaps about like a damp rag in a high wind. Anything could happen. I figure to enjoy it since I can?t stop it. It would all seem more amusing and less dark, I thought, if I weren?t immoderately sober. To this end I walked to the Oxxo, which is a Mexican Seven-Eleven, and bought a bottle of Padre Kino red. Maybe I should have bought two bottles. There is much to cause worry. The strange little man in the White House is leering at Iran in his customary state of ...

SAMARRA, Iraq (AP) -- A large explosion heavily damaged the golden dome of one of Iraq's most famous Shi'i shrines Wednesday, spawning mass protests and triggering reprisal attacks against Sunni mosques. It was the third major attack against Shi'i targets this week and threatened to stoke sectarian tensions. Shi'i leaders called for calm, but militants attacked Sunni mosques and a gunfight broke out between Shi'i militiamen and guards at the offices of a Sunni political party in Basra. About 500 soldiers were sent to Sunni neighborhoods in Baghdad to prevent clashes between Shi'is and Sunnis, Army Capt. Jassim al-Wahash said. A leading Sunni politician, Tariq al-Hashimi, said 29 Sunni ...

Mr. President, are you nuts? That giant sucking sound you hear is one really big mob of congressional Republicans evacuating their side of the aisle en masse and galloping over to agree with their left-coast colleagues as fast as they possibly can that the summary selloff of U.S. port operations to Dubai is your basic bad idea. Why, this whole heretofore sorrowfully rent nation has suddenly just come together as one. The day you've got Bill Frist and Hillary Clinton and Denny Hastert and Harry Reid voicing exactly the same concerns practically word for word is the day it can be said that President Bush truly is a uniter and not a divider. And now Bush declares he will veto any ...

Proving that Abu Ghraib and Gitmo are the tip of the iceberg, the outgoing UN human rights chief dropped a bombshell when he told an obscure Maltese newspaper that as many as a thousand detainees a month are being tortured to death in Iraq. Dr. John Pace told the obscure Times of Malta newspaper, "The Baghdad morgue received 1,100 bodies in July alone, about 900 of whom bore evidence of torture or summary execution. That continued throughout the year and last December there were 780 bodies, including 400 having gunshot wounds or wounds as those caused by electric drills." Pace echoed previous estimates in stating that 80 to 90 per cent of those rounded up and taken to prison camps ...

Bush requests $72 billion in 'emergency' defense funding. By Gail Russell Chaddock | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON - More than four years into the war on terror, Congress is chafing - but not yet balking - at a tab nearing $400 billion. President Bush's latest emergency spending request, sent to Capitol Hill last week, includes $72.4 billion for the global war on terror. He also asked for another $19.8 billion for hurricane relief at home. Few lawmakers care to risk not supporting US troops or first responders, making these must-pass bills. As such, they're attracting add-ons that lawmakers deem "emergencies." But unlike the previous five defense ...

"American taxpayers expect their money to be spent properly. We are not going to invest the resources of the American people into forces run by people who are sectarian," he said. He ...
