The Bush administration, blinded
by dollar signs, has destabilized the region in and
around Iraq. This serves to strengthen our
enemies
while undermining our nation.
The Bush
administration refuses to face the issue
and has even removed our
military bases from Saudi
Arabia, home of most who
attacked us!
"European nations would like the United States to
join talks with Iran
-now involving Germany, France and Britain --by offering Tehran security and economic
guarantees in exchange for abandoning its nuclear
ambitions.
The Bush administration
refused to participate in the
talks."

The American people are learning to ignore the debris
spinning around them. What they find at the center of this hurricane is incompetence, fraud, and betrayal. Through
this difficult learning process, they have been provided with enough information to do the right thing.
Now we need a vehicle for reform. Americans and the rest of the planet understand the problem. If we can fix our broken electoral process before next November, our voices will be heard, these thugs will be be removed from power, and the healing of America can begin.

I understand the efficacy of information wars...
in general... but the information war being
waged against the American people, by their
own government...is treason. It is getting
American troops killed and undermining our
cultural and technological development. This
civil war on American values is shrinking the
middle class, destabilizng our economy, and
putting Americans out of work.
We need new leadership. "Staying the course"
will cost more lives, damage American credibility,
and undermine national and international security.
These transnational corporate pawns have got
to go. We have a nation to rebuild. And it is
not called Iraq. Retro-colonialism is a dead end.
We must eliminate the corruption and graft
which are the foundation of the Bush administration.
For too long, unelected criminal elements have taken
over the direction of our foreign policy and bungled
our domestic agenda. We need to bring freedom,
democracy, and accountability back to America.
And we need to do it yesterday.

Secretary Rice's Rendition
|
"It was a sad enough measure of how badly
the Bush administration has damaged its moral standing that the secretary of
state had to deny that the president condones torture before she could visit
some of the most reliable American allies in Europe. It was even worse that
she had a hard time sounding credible when she did it." |
