The British PM announced that Brittan will withdraw 1/ 2 its troops this summer and could be totally out of Iraq by the end of 2008. Do you think Bush will get the message and follow suit?

The Bush administration has a real problem now that the al Maliki government has placed the blame for the September 16th attack on that firm. It now appears there was NO State department convoy on the day of this incident. Blackwater also provides protection to private contractor if that was their function on that day in September 16th shooting, was not to protect State department officials are they protected from Iraqi Courts? The al Maliki government has demanded that the Blackwater...

CNN reported the Iraqi Parliament has declared they can not resolve the major differences that exist between the Sunni, Shea and Kurd factions. The Bush policy of a UNITY GOVERNMENT had failed and it is time for the United States to change its policy. Bush has told us the purpose of our continued and expanded occupation of Iraq was to give the government time to resolve their differences. Now that the parliament has declared they can not come to agreement it is time for the Unit...

The U.S. Constitution is the foundation for our rights and essential for the success of our nation. The federal government was brought into existence by the people through our Constitution. Second, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land that controls the actions of our public officials in all three branches of the federal government. Every elected official swears to UPHOLD the U.S. Constitution. The very foundations of Our Constitution are being violated by the highest elect...

Bush vetoed the S-CHIP health Care bill for low and middle income children because it included children whose families had annual incomes above twice the federal poverty level ($40,000). Bush said these families should pay for their own health insurance. Great- Congress should END Federal health coverage for Bush, Cheney, Congress, the Supreme Court Justices etc. All these senior Federal officials earn more then $40,000 per year and today receive that EVIL socialized medicine paid by t...

Today I watched the House Oversight Committee hearings about private contracting in Iraq. I have commented on the extent that we have employed private contraction in a combat zone in Iraq. Although we have used contractors in the past, the extent of their use in Iraq is far and away greater then in any other war. The House hearings choose not to delve into the details of the most recent incident with Blackwater since the Justice Department is investigating this incident. The disc...

Today the AP ran a story about the staggering medical costs from the Iraq war. The VA is trying to provide some estimates as to the future cost to care for the Iraq War Veterans. The VA has run out of money several times during the past two years and the spending is up 83% since Bush took office. There have been 185,000 veterans that have required care so far and the VA fears that number could reach 700,000 and span 50 Plus years. The experience from this war is different because of...

The Bill to give 3.5 Million children health insurance that today do not have coverage passed Congress in a bipartisan way. Bush has said he will veto this bill while he prepares to request another $190 Billion for WAR! Bush is a lost cause and the voters must turn their attention to Congress. ANY member of Congress that is up for reelection in 2008 that does not vote to override a Bush veto of this bill should be removed from office in November 2008 for turning their backs on these 3...

Yesterday George Bush forcefully defended his fiscal policies at his news conference. It was clear that Bush believes what he is saying despite that the results of the past 6 years show a total opposite reality. Bush again stated his disagreement with the criticism of Alan Greenspan who has said the Bush tax cuts and spending policies were irresponsible and have caused harm to our country. Bush also talked about the inability of Social Security and Medicare to pay the benefits that have...

The Bush Administration has turned more and more to private contractors to provide functions in war torn Iraq. These are PLUMS that have been given American Companies and have cost the American tax payers double and triple the cost to provide the same service by our military that in the past were responsible for security in a war zone like Iraq. Bush has ignored the fact that the size of our military and the missions they have been given are out of balance. Some believe the Army needs...

As the Bush presidency moves toward an end, more and more critics are blasting George W. Bush and his policies. They are coming from former members of his administration, from world leaders and from some of the most knowledgeable people in our country. People like Allen Greenspan who says Bush and his fiscal policies were a disaster. Mr. Greenspan also said in his book that the Iraq War was not because of WMD, or because Saddam was an evil dictator. It is not because Saddam refused t...

If the GOP members of Congress in the House and Senate refuse to change course in Iraq as the VAST majority of Americans want, November 2008 could prove to be a blood bath for the GOP. If as we reduce the troop levels from April thru August 2008, violence in Iraq continues at the current pace or gets worse, the GOP who plan to run for reelection are in TROUBLE. The Democrats must press for a change in the war policy and if the GOP members of Congress up for reelection prevent that cha...

Last Night President Bush continued to lie and spin the facts to the American people. In that his speech was just like most of his other speeches over the past 6 ½ years. Lie ONE: The success in Anbar, which is the major example Bush sighted, is the result of the American Troop Surge. First, Bush only sent 4,000 additional troops into Anbar. The success against al-Qaeda elements in Anbar is the result of the local Sunni tribes that agreed to attack the foreign terrorists and...

The American Commander told the Senate today that after almost 5 years of war, over 3,700 dead American Military, over 27,000 wounded American Military and over ½ Trillion dollars that he does not know if that sacrifice has made America any Safer. That is a DAMMING statement as to the failure of the Bush Policy of invading Iraq from the TOP military commander on the ground! Bush must be beside himself after learning of the General's statement today. Think of it- Our most senior milit...

Bush is telling everyone the Surge is Working when the facts say the opposite. Yes in Al Anbar Province the violence is much better but in the north and south the violence is much worse. Overall the death toll is UP and there is no progress on the political front. The Police Force is a problem and the Iraqi Military can not function on their own. For Bush to declare the surge is working to reduce the violence in Iraq is simply not true and the death toll and lack of political progress ...
