England announced that it is pulling 1,600 of it's 7,100 troops out of Iraq by August and the rest by the end of 2008 (which dick spun as a plus). Prime Minister blair came out against the "war with Iran" crowd. Iran's president said Iran is ready to halt its enrichment program if the West does the same. In his words "We are for talks but they have to be fair negotiations. That means, both sides hold talks under equal conditions,". Denmark is pulling it's 460 members out of the "coalition". The Prime Minister of Italy has resigned because the Italian government voted against "the Afghan war and ties with the U.S. military". And Congress has finally come up with the idea to take action to repeal the outdated, far too broad and vague, "authorization" bill they (minus 21 Democrats) approved back in 2002.
I have tried to refrain from a real debate on the candidates for the 2008 Presidential election, simply because it is far too early to. But, just in case you're wondering, the New York Times has their stances on the war in IraQ. Oh and Tom Vilsack is out of the race. I know, Tom who????
The Year and Nine Month wait until Election '08 hasn't slowed uncle rupert's propaganda channel from battling the purple-headed yogurt slinger with Fox Attacks on Democratic candidates, most of which are complete fabrications, leaving the rest of the "stories" to trumped up non-stories, most of which simply prey on people's prejudices. I know it's a little "you're with us or against us", but anyone who watches Fox for news should be ashamed of themselves. News is based in fact. Fox is empty rhetoric, and I'm glad Senator Obama has "frozen them out". They are not alone in false propaganda. The Washington Times, owned by respected newsman Sun Myung Moon, made up quotes they claimed were made by President Abraham Lincoln to further their belief that debate in a democracy is treasonous. But what can you expect from a schadenfreude riddled media that is more concerned with repulsive custody battles for dead and embalmed celebrity corpses and the self destruction of idols which they created and placed firmly on foundationless pedestals.
Why report on Pakistan testing missiles that can hold nukes? Why report on the US soldier sentenced to 100 years (parole at 10) for four counts of rape and murder in Iraq? Why report on how Our government inflated terrorism statistics? Why report on the trial of dick's former Chief of Staff, scooter, and what dick did to get us to start the War in IraQ and hack and smear its (and his) opponents?
DICK says "we want to return [from Iraq] with honor". This from the "man" that gave Us "we KNOW where they [WMD's] are", and IraQ Is a "unique and urgent threat". The man who was fine with abu ghraib torture, sending Our prisoners to other countries to be tortured, not to mention throwing Habeus Corpus and Our Constitutional rights out the window. Mr. Vice President, you and your minions have been destroying this country's honor with your misguided, if not malicious, policies, actions and words for the past six years. Is destroying the United States's credibilty in the world an act of treason? Should dick be impeached? GQ has decided to take on the Articles of Impeachment themselves, since no elected official seems to have to courage to.
It is important that We the People stay informed, and that We do not take one source's word for it.
