Republican war-supporters convinced America to support George W. Bush's Iraq invasion.  The only real excuse aside from the overwhelming use of nationalism and patriotism to achieve political agendas was that President Bush and Administration made a "mistake", an error in judgment that should be excused.  A decade after the fact, ...

Over the years, most anti-War activists have hesitated to raise the question of motive with respect to the Iraq invasion / occupation.  After September 11th, nationalistic unity was achieved long enough to strike Iraq and forget Afghanistan, it was deemed as taboo to bang too loudly on the anti-War drums.  ...

NY Gov. Spitzer was destined to be a career politician.  You say one thing and do another, it reminds me of something my mother once jokingly said.  Do as I say, not as I do! The fact is that morality in America continues to deteriorate year after year.  This problem has ...

President Bush and his Lawless Administration  No, this article isn't going to delve into the illegal war in Iraq, although the evidence is mounting on that case as well.  Today, I'd like to bring your attention to FISA.  While the war in Iraq is an issue that will yield debate for ...

Lately, John McCain's been touting his "surge" support as synonymous with good judgment, but if you ask me, it sounds like he has trouble judging the character of the people he associates with.  John McCain's campaign co-chair, Rick Renzi was indicted on charges of extortion and fraud. Just yesterday, John McCain ...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed how terribly conducted the last CNN debate was on the Republican side.  Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee struggled to get a word in on the debate.  CNN or Anderson and company apparently decided that the rest of America doesn't need to ...

It looks like the 9/11 commission was highly suspicious of the response and information that the Pentagon provided after the 9/11 attacks. Instead of making a big scene and dropping a bombshell so-to-speak, the commission 'compromised' and deferred to the justice department so that it could pursue criminal investigations. Some ...

September 10, 2001, Rumsfeld made serious allegations Donald Rumsfeld admitted to bureaucratic corruption that has historically tripped up the Pentagon. It sounds like there was and is a serious problem with corruption happening behind the scenes. Because of the sensitivity of the issue, it's a tough topic to tackle. ...

Scaring "the right people", using terror to fight terror Anyone keeping track of the Bush Administration and the neo-conservative push towards a police State shouldn't be surprised by the news.  The NYPD, among other agencies in the U.S. are building a foundation for using terrorism against 'evil-doers'. Bush, fascism gives way to ...

President Bush, Cheney, Rove, all involved in Valerie Wilson Plame leak. Now that the president is a verified party to the treasonous act of outing a federal agent, maybe Nancy Pelosi will put impeachment back on the table. Instead of catering to this corrupt and criminal administration, it's time to ...
