| 'Unit's' military expert has fighting words for Bush "The harm that has been done is irreparable. There are more than 2,000 American kids that have been killed. Tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis have been killed which no one in the U.S. really cares about those people, do they? I never hear anybody lament that fact. It has been a horror, and this administration has worked overtime to divert the American public's attention from it. Their lies are coming home to roost now, and it's gonna fall apart."

| What's wrong with cutting and running? Everything that opponents of a pullout say would happen if the U.S. left Iraq is happening already, says retired Gen. William E. Odom, the head of the National Security Agency during the Reagan administration. So why stay? By William E. Odom August 03, 2005 |
| Odom: Want stability in the Middle East? Get out of Iraq! In his last piece for NiemanWatchdog.org, retired Gen. William Odom argued that all the terrible things the Bush administration says would happen if we pulled our troops out of Iraq are happening already. In a new postscript, Odom writes that the converse is true as well: Bush says he wants to bring democracy and stability to the greater Middle East -- but in fact the only way to achieve that goal is to get out of Iraq now.

| Confessions of a Marine! By Jean-Paul Mari Le Nouvel Observateur, Oct.27, 2005 Iraq: The story no American publisher wanted! In a just-published book, Master Sergeant Jimmy Massey tells about his mission to recruit for, then fight in, the war in Iraq. He tells why he killed. And cracked. A Matter of Survival When I was home in New Hampshire on leave last month, a lot of people approached me to tell what a good job we're doing here in Iraq. I appreciate the support, but I don't need the media or those people to tell me what I see every day. We are not getting the job done. By George Sprague Concord Monitor/Letter Oct. 28, 2004 |
| AFL-CIO Convention Calls For Troop Withdrawal From Iraq by David Bacon, Zmag.org On the second day of its convention in Chicago, the AFL-CIO took an historic step, calling for the rapid withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, and an end to the country's occupation. Public attention has focused largely on the split in US labor, and the decision by two of the federation's largest unions to leave. Yet the impact of this call will reverberate for years, with as profound effect on the future of US workers and their unions. |

| To my fellow veterans: Are you tired of the bull shit from the War Party, (The Republicans and the Democrats) and their control of the media in stressing how Americans should support the troops by supporting this criminal, fascist, barbaric war? This veteran is opposed to the war criminals, Bush and "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran" McCain, Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Hoyer, Boehner, McConnell, Pence, Lugar, Bayh, Lieberman, Levin, Waxman and their "dirty" wars. The best way to support our troops is to listen to them. Fort Hood soldiers breaking the silence in war in Iraq, tells it like it is. "Bring the troops home now! To betray the trust of our troops by ignoring their requests to "Hey, bring those guys home," is treason. Supporting our troops and their call for withdrawal is one of the highest forms of patriotism. |

| Support Our Troops, Support Military Families Speak Out: STOP THE FUNDING; STOP THE KILLING AND WOUNDING OF AMERICAN TROOPS! READ THE LATEST PRESS RELEASE FROM MILITARY FAMILIES SPEAK OUT. |
| This is the latest update to this page, Sept. 1, 2008. Memorial Day and July 4th have passed. Be patriotic, be sure and wear your Israeli Flag lapel pin, so those of our troops;, the KIA and WIA on behalf of Israel in Iraq and soon in Iran are properly remembered! After over five years of an endless, needless, barbaric, fascist, criminal war based upon lies, deceit and greed, the War Party controlled Congress will continue funding the Iraq occupation with another $ 165 billion. Despite pleas for withdrawal from Iraq; from our troops in Iraq, the Iraq Veterans Against the War, the AFL-CIO, Military Families Speak Out, Vietnam Veterans Against War, Veterans for Peace and dozens of patriotic peace groups, the killing of American troops will continue with the blessings of "Christian America's" War Party's leaders in Congress. Why? (1) Because Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan have to be either invaded or agree to the presence of U.S. Armed Forces and therefore occupied forever so the goals of "The New U.S. British Oil Imperialism" can succeed; the Afghanistan North-South pipelines. Please read Paul Thompson's "Central Asian Oil, Enron, And The Afghanistan Pipelines." This documents Unocal's and The U.S. continuous pipeline dealings with the Taliban as early as September , 1996. Please start with and read the paragraph "Sepember 27, 1996: The Taliban conquer Kabal- - - - ." Then read the paragraph starting, "December 4, 1997: Representatives of The Taliban are invited guests to the Texas headquarters of Unocal to negotiate their support for the pipeline. Future President Bush, Jr., is Governor of Teaxas at the time." (2) Because of the influence of Israel and it's main lobby, AIPAC. These wars have to continue until every Arab and Moslem nation in the Middle East is subservient to and controlled by Zionist, Likud, Israel. This is why "Zionist" Speaker Nancy Pelosi removed the restriction requiring Congressional approval before Bush could order an attack on Iran.

| Who would Jesus torture ? Since President Bush claims to be "God's messenger," do God and Jesus approve of the now documented tortures and murders of detainees? See "Ex.State Dept. Official : Hundreds died in U.S. custody, at least 25 murdered." Since President Bush claims to be "God's messenger," do God and Jesus support the "shock and awe" bombings that have murdered thousands of innocent Iraqi women and children? Who would you torture and murder? Updated 11-17-2008 Has the surge worked? Not in my opinion! Americans must remember that the last six years of occupation in Iraq has produced unbelievable "ethnic cleansing" between the Sinnis and Shiites! I am proud of Sgt. Casey Porter and his attempts to portray the US occupation in realistic terms. Please read Jennifer Fenton's article, "Documenting The Surge: U.S. Soldier's Films Expose The Realities of The Iraq Occupation." |
