Giving praise

[mdpm99]

We should all give praise to the protesters, who stood against this criminal administration, ...it took a lot of guts to do this in the face of a media that manipulated our society. Now that the lies are being exposed from the Bush War Party, and investigations are being implemented, it was the protesters who said it all along, "We don't want your war!" Now that Bush and Rumsfeld are on hot seats on the defensive explaining the lies that so fluidly came out of their loose cannon mouths, it was the protesters who said, "No blood for oil!"

The Iraqi civilian death toll is now counted as a legitimate 6,000 men, women and children, and this is not including the civilians dying from starvation, poisoning and disease, from the hell that US bombs turned that country into. Today, 07/10/03, two more US soldiers were killed in an ambush in Iraq, death toll climbing . Give it up to the Protesters, "the humanitarians," the ones who knew, the ones who were not fooled, the ones who really cared!

Ps.

America IS waking up! It's beautiful to see!

If any of the protesters came from Canada they are in even bigger trouble.There have been instances
of harassment that would boggle the mind.Those who mobilize the most and that have the highest profile are prime targets.Much respect to these heroes.
fyi :My brothers band had trouble securing visas upon entering to NYC to play Summerstage,even though their papers were in order.Ballbreaking custom agents were sticking it to them just because they were Canadian,of course they were associated with the lack of support for the war on Iraq.

America's disgrace lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. For two and a half years now, a blue blooded legacy child by the name of George W. Bush has brought nothing but shame and disgrace upon our country. Our great nation was once the most admired and respected country on Earth. We were the shining light of freedom, equality and hope for all oppressed people the world over. We were the promise of what could be. Now we are hated and feared in every corner of the globe. This sniveling little rich spoiled brat, who never worked for anything a day in his life, was handed the keys to our country like a High School senior receiving a new Porsche upon graduation, courtesy of his rich daddy. And just like an irresponsible teenager would, "Dubya" has wrecked the car.

He and every member of this administration is drunk with power and consumed with avarice. The behavior of this administration resembles not what our Founding Fathers envisioned, which was an open and Representative Democracy. Instead, George and his band of criminals have turned our Republic into a Corporatocracy, fueled by uncontrollable greed and lust for profit. George W. Bush, in reality, is the C.E.O. of the U.S.A. He and his "board of directors" Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Wolfowitz, Perle, Rice, etc., have lined the pockets of the oil and defense industries with billions of dollars in the form of fat no-bid contracts and sweetheart deals, all at the expense of you and me.

George W. Bush and his administration have left a permanent stain on the history of this country.(I would rather deal with the stain on Monica's dress from Clinton anyday than this Bu$hit). The damage they have inflicted to our country and the world in the past thirty months will take decades to repair. For the sake of our children and all the people of the world, we must start by demanding that he and his administration be removed from office. George W. Bush has willfully and flagrantly violated the Constitution and International Law. He and his administration must be held accountable for their crimes. To allow them to remain in power is to invite disaster for our country and the world.


Time to give America back to the people.....

Tony B-liar is facing the music...

Tony Blair still believes "concrete evidence" of the products of Saddam Hussein's weapons programmes will be found, says Downing Street.
The statement comes despite senior Whitehall sources telling the BBC they no longer believe actual weapons of mass destruction are likely to turn up in Iraq.

The prime minister's official spokesman said that it was Mr Blair who was the authentic voice at the top of government.

"He is absolutely confident that we will find evidence not only of weapons of mass destruction programmes but concrete evidence of the product of those programmes as well."

BBC political editor Andrew Marr says "very senior sources" have virtually ruled out the possibility of finding weapons in Iraq.

Mr Blair's spokesman would not be drawn on whether actual weapons would be found.

But he said: "This is another BBC exclusive based on another anonymous source.

"The prime minister believes and has absolute confidence we will find material that had (UN chief weapons inspector) Hans Blix found it would have justified him going back to the Security Council for a further UN resolution."

Number 10 insisted Mr Blair had not shifted his language to talk about programmes, rather than weapons themselves.

Labour MP Brian Donohoe has suggested Mr Blair's job is at stake in the search for evidence.

He told BBC Radio Scotland: "If I don't see the evidence that's overwhelming in terms of the weapons of mass destruction having been there, I'm not going to call, but I do believe that the position of the prime minister in these circumstances is untenable and that he would have to resign."

Earlier, Robin Cook, who resigned as leader of the Commons on the eve of war, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Parliament voted for war because it was told that Saddam did have real weapons of mass destruction.

"Indeed what the prime minister said on the eve of the war was that the weapons posed a real and present danger, either because [Saddam] might use them or because he might pass them to terrorist groups."

Former prime minister John Major said an independent inquiry to clear up the row was in the government's interest.

He said he had backed the move to war because he had accepted the government's warnings but said "quite a few" of those alerts were now being questioned.

"We are in the middle of the war against terror and nobody knows what our troops may be asked to do next," he went on.

"It is essential that the word of government and the intelligence services is readily accepted by Parliament and the public."

Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith said an independent judicial inquiry into the weapons evidence was needed "more than ever".

Donald Anderson, chairman of the Commons foreign affairs committee, said such an inquiry would take a long time and might not reveal anything new.

"What I am certain of is that at the relevant time our people did believe that there were chemical and biological weapons what could have been used against our troops in the field," he said.

The latest twist in the weapons row came as the US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld admitted the US had obtained no fresh intelligence about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before going to war.

But it saw existing information in a new light after 11 September, he told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

And he said weapons would eventually be found in Iraq.

Paper proof

Andrew Marr stressed that government and Whitehall sources were "still sure" Iraq did have major weapons of mass destruction programmes before the war.

"The assumption is that Saddam Hussein for whatever reason destroyed them or hid them beyond finding before the war started," he told Today.

"And there's no doubt also in their minds that they will turn up interviews with scientists, paper documentation and so on.

"But nobody's been killed by paper documentation ever, and it does change the nature of things."

It was still possible the Iraqi Survey Group - a team of experts tasked with looking for evidence of weapons - might turn up some weapons, he said.

"But they're clearly now preparing the ground for that not to be the case."

Liberal Democrat spokesman Menzies Campbell said the news undermined the legal advice given to the government about going to war.
