Robert Fisk on the Slaughter of Civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan
"Collateral Damage Not Much Different From Targeted Killing" -- When U.S. troops massacre Iraqi civilians in Haditha because their buddy has been murdered, what is the difference between their revenge and that of Saddam? The Iraqi dictator was hanged in Baghdad in 2006, cursed by his hooded Shia Al-Dawa executioners as he stood on the scaffold. For us, there will be no hangings.

In January of 2003, John Le Carre wrote that, "America has entered one of its periods of historical madness, but this is the worst I can remember: Worse than McCarthyism, worse than the Bay of Pigs and in the long term potentially more disastrous than the Vietnam War." He was surely right then. Except that what once looked like a period now seems like an epoch. * Whoa and Woe : Living In Sarah Palin's America * By David Michael Green

HERE WE GO AGAIN ! * Speaking before the Pentecostal church, VP wanabe Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.

McCAIN'S NEOCON WARMONGER * And none dare call it treason. By Patrick J. Buchanan 22/08/08 - Who is Randy Scheunemann? He is the principal foreign policy adviser to John McCain. He is a dual loyalist, a foreign agent whose assignment is to get America committed to spilling the blood of her sons for client regimes who have made this moral mercenary a rich man.

Lucky us.
As if we needed to prove to the world that, no, Bush isn't the most horrible president possible. Just look at who's following him into the White House.
The elitists would tell either winner exactly what to do when and why. But at least with Obama, we'd have a compassionate person trying to assuage us with what little aloe vera is left.
With McCain, it's FULL RAMMING SPEED AHEAD AND FORGET THE K-Y JELLY. THIS IS GONNA HURT AND THE SOONER YOU SCREAM THE BETTER OFF YOU'LL BE.

obama,hillaroid,and mccain scare me

REPUBLICANS & MILITARY PERSONNEL AGAINST McCAIN ON THE WAR * If Wes Clark questioning John McCain's ability to lead our country wasn't enough, check out Pat Buchanan saying McCain will make Cheney look like Gandhi. As this chilling video from Aaron Hodgins Davis suggests, more and more Republicans and servicemembers who oppose the war in Iraq and the possibility of another in Iran are coming out against McCain for following in Bush's hawkish footsteps.
