The Pentagon tried to cover it up for months, according to Congressman John Murtha. The war crimes committed everyday in Iraq run up to the desk of George W. Bush. By In My Tears I guess I just don't understand. There are more huddled masses than there are power lords. We build the castles and factories of these power lords. We do their bidding, saluting their words of patriotism, bowing our heads to their prayers, and sometimes simply buying their trash because they've convinced us it's " stylish. " We give them honor and respect. Why? Why? By Democrats Eye November Landslide Republicans are three steps from a November shellacking First step: Voters must focus on the national landscape on Nov. 7 rather than local issues and personalities that usually dominate midterm elections. Second step: Voters must be so angry at Washington and politics in general that an anti-incumbent, throw-the-bums-out mentality sweeps the nation. Third step: Americans must view the elections as a referendum on President Bush and the GOP-led Congress, siding with Democrats in a symbolic vote against the Iraq war, rising gas prices, economic insecurity and the nagging sense that the nation is on the wrong track. That would destroy Republicans, sweeping them from power in one or both chambers and making Bush a lame duck. By Talk Of Pelosi As Speaker Delights Both Parties By Gingrich: Gov.

The massacre at Haditha is a product of Bush's policy of aggressive war, U.S. sponsored war crimes, and outsourced torture. The massacre at Haditha is but a single tile in a bigger Bush mosaic that includes Fallujah, Abu Ghraib and the gulags of Eastern Europe. Nations losing wars commit atrocities. Logically, the situation can only be worse in wars that are themselves crimes.

By Support For A Challenger To Longtime Sen. Joe Lieberman Escalates With Moveon Endorsement Gaining the support of MoveOn's political action committee was Ned Lamont, a businessman who wants to unseat Lieberman largely because of the veteran lawmaker's staunch support for the war in Iraq.

Bush And Kenneth Lay With Thursday's guilty verdicts against Lay and Skilling on numerous counts of accounting fraud, conspiracy, and dozens of other charges, perhaps Enron should be remembered as - in addition to a symbol of greed - the first in what has become a long list of scandals that can be directly linked to the White House.

Jefferson Hardly A Democrat Worth Saving Democrats owe the congressman from New Orleans no loyalty. Indeed, if ever there was a member of Congress who merited abandonment by his party, official censure and a hasty exit from the legislative branch, it is Bill Jefferson. Putting aside the bribery probe, Jefferson has a horrific record of breaking with his Democratic colleagues to sell out his constituents, his country and the poorest people in the world. He may be a Democrat, but on the issues that really matter, Jefferson has served the Bush administration and Wall Street more diligently than a number of Republicans.

By California Trying To Avoid Ohio Pattern If it can happen to Schwarzenegger, it can happen to Joe Smith, and the betting here is Mr. Smith won't get things fixed as fast, so it's possible his vote could end up being recorded exactly opposite to his own wishes.
