With George Bush's warmongering creeping into it's sixth seventh year, college freshman this fall will have been in a state of war since the seventh grade [1]! Is it any coincidence that young voters are leaving the Republican party [2] faster than Iraqi refugees?
The ACLU is suing the Drug Enforcement Agency for robbing a trucker at gunpoint [3].
A US military plane carrying four members of congress was forced to take evasive maneuvers after being fired upon over Baghdad [4]. How's that ol' green zone workin' out?
Health and Human Services whitewashed their PSA on breastfeeding [5] after coming under fire from the formula lobby. When did scientific facts get put up for sale?
Wesley Clark reveals that the administration had formalized plans to go to war with Iraq by September 20, 2001 [6]. Didn't this man run for president? Why are we just hearing this now?
Bill Maher warns that US plans to stage a coup d'etat in 'democratic' Iraq is just another scheme to keep troops there indefinitely [7].Â
Have I mentioned, Way to go Iowa [8]!!!
And finally, with a frothing lunatic (who happens to be president) not-at-all-subtly hinting at an imminent invasion of Iran [9], Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic & International Studies outlines the potential avenues of Iranian retaliation. Short version - prepare to be hit back, and hit back hard [10]!
