Thankfully those of us who aren’t “sheep” have outstanding web site like Think Progress (and others) to help expose all the mis-information, outright lies, and hypocrisy spread in part by the MSM and yes Presidential press conferences.

While I’m at it, how about a big round of applause for all the politicians like John Conyers, Jr. who are actually doing what they were elected to do (not to mention doing what’s RIGHT) instead of taking the easy path.

I was in shock the first time I heard “we” were considering attacking Iraq. To myself I thought, why are we entering a hornets nest?

When I saw the terrible bombing I was sickened. I am afraid we have killed thousands of innocent people of all kinds. If so called patriots, Christians, etc. think this is “of God”, they are in for a big surprise.

I was angry, sad, sickened by the day the Twin Towers were hit, but the subsequent action taken by the current administration is in no way the proper response.

I am so disappointed that so many Americians have supported this type of hateful action. We will never win this unjust war.

It is a war of money. Money for private concerns and their shareholders. If there is a hell, tis sure a place for them.

Use the “Guide to the Bush Iraq Speech” to help determine if the President is full of new plans, or just full of it.

I’d like to give Karl Rove some “therapy” — some boot therapy right where the sunshine laws don’t shine. He didn’t prepare for war after 9/11. He prepared for re-election.

IRAQ WAR VETERANS, MILITARY FAMILIES, OTHERS PROTEST BUSH APPEARANCE AT FT. BRAGG and SAY:

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS – BRING THEM HOME NOW

AND TAKE CARE OF THEM WHEN THEY GET HERE!

FAYETTEVILLE, NC – On Tuesday, June 28th, President Bush will be appearing at Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville, North Carolina, to try to resuscitate the flagging support for the war in Iraq. Iraq War Veterans, military families, veterans of previous wars, and others who oppose the war in Iraq will be in Fayetteville to protest President Bush’s captive-audience photo opportunity and challenge the false picture of the war being portrayed by the White House. The Bush visit comes in the wake of a local (Fayetteville) newspaper poll showing that over forty percent of local residents are not in favor of the war, while national polls show that 52% of the US population want troops withdrawn and 60% believe the war in Iraq is not worth fighting….

The following events will take place in Fayetteville, North Carolina on Tuesday, June 28th:

1 PM – Press conference at Quaker House, 223 Hillside Avenue, Fayetteville

Veterans, including Iraq Veterans, and military family members will make statements and be available for interview. Press conference will be MC’d by Stan Goff, retired Special Forces veteran, and father of an active duty soldier on his second deployment to Iraq. Speakers list still under construction – speaker bios and text will be available at the
press conference.

2PM-4 PM – Poster and sign-making at Quaker House, media invited to observe. We will be updating a display bearing the names of all US service men and women killed in Iraq, plus memorials to the thousands of unnamed Iraqi victims.

5 PM -9 PM– Peace vigil with Veterans, including Iraq War Veterans, military families and others reading of the names of the US Iraq war dead at the Market House, Hay and Green Streets, downtown.

DOWNING STREET MEMO HITS THE HOUSE FLOOR

Please join the ‘Out of Iraq’ Caucus this Tuesday, June 28th for a Special Order hour on the Downing Street Minutes. The Democratic hour for these remarks is scheduled for the second hour of the Special Orders, which will commence immediately after votes for the day have ended

Over the past month, 128 Members of Congress, along with some 560,000 citizens have sent letters to the President demanding a response to reports of a pre-war deal between Great Britain and the United States and to evidence that pre-war intelligence was intentionally manipulated. All of these letters have gone unanswered.

Given the importance of these matters, we believe it is incumbent upon Congress to discuss these issues in a public and forthright manner. We hope you will join us in this hour of Special Orders.

To reserve time during the Special Order, please contact Stacey Dansky or Adam Cohen of the Judiciary Committee staff at 225-6906. Thank you.

Sincerely,

John Conyers, Jr.
Ranking Member, Committee on the Judiciary

Maxine Waters
Member, Committee on the Judiciary

Barbara Lee
Member, Committee on International Relations

“We are continuing to train Iraqi forces, 200,000 have been trained, insurgency will peak before the upcoming December elections, Americans wanna see forces back home, I wanna see them come home, but can’t set a timetable for withdrawal , need long-term committment in Iraq because we were attacked on 9/11, blah, blah”

The insurgents are infiltrating in high numbers and won’t be throwing in the towel any too soon.

The handwriting is on the wall. Unless the US forces want to take it further on the chin, it’s over.

So your saying the circus will be in town tomorrow at 8:30pm ET?
That should be fun, everybody loves the circus.
