Since that time both countries have taken great steps in this direction, but the US has definitely taken the lead. Under the banner of providing security and an expanded economy, the Bush regime has taken unprecedented (…)

    United States Congress Democratic Members of the House of Representatives
    Re: Failure to introduce articles of impeachment
    Why is House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi opposed to the impeachment of George W. Bush? Instead, she is urging Democratic activists to focus on winning seats in the House this November. As a registered democrat and American (…)

    Bush’s Roadblock at the Security Council by Mike Whitney
    Surveys were conducted months before the war on Iraq which showed that the American people would only support the conflict if there was a danger that Saddam was developing nuclear weapons. Other questions in the poll addressed the issues of humanitarian intervention, Saddam’s abysmal human rights record, and the prospect that Iraq had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons.
    None of these other potential (…)

  • CHENEY : RULE BY IMPERIAL DICKTAT

    Cheney’s riposte to Feingold’s censure movement was more of the same.... Support us and our rule by imperial decree or You’re with "Al Qaeda" . What a tiresome refrain..... Still justifying massive crimes against the Constitution - by hiding under the horror of 9/11...... Yesterday Cheney claimed the illegal domestic spying programme was "lawful". Cheney’s copy of the Constitution apparently omits the Fourth Ammendment of that document . Little wonder his ward Master Bush (…)

    Going overboard
    The wave of bipartisan protest over a Dubai company managing U.S. ports is a tempest in an election year.
    DID YOU HEAR the one about Dick Cheney, a priest and a rabbi walking into an Arab-run port?
    No? Too bad, because the brouhaha that has replaced Cheney-mania is a lot less entertaining. This week brought a strange bipartisan convergence over, of all things, the commercial management of U.S. ports.
