Clipmarks | AcesLucky's 'iraq' clips

Compilation of lies the Bush administration told leading up to the Iraq war, the lies they told during the war to cover up the initial lies, then the admissions of lying when they were all lied out! Watch how certain Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, and Wolfowitz were about things initially, only to later act as though there was no possible way to be certain.
They are trying to lie their way into war with Iran…DON’T BUY IT PEOPLE!

VA Conceals Vet Suicide Figures From CBS To Downplay ‘Epidemic In Suicide’»

Yesterday marked the opening day of a class action lawsuit brought by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans against the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), arguing “that failure to provide care is manifesting itself in an epidemic of suicides” among veterans. The VA denies the charges, pointing to increased resources devoted to mental health.

Today, CBS News reports that the VA apparently concealed veteran suicide statistics, and fed the news organization faulty data for a story on the issue. The VA told CBS that there were 790 attempted suicides in all of 2007. Yet shortly after, the VA’s head of Mental Health, Dr. Ira Katz, wrote in an e-mail to the VA’s top media adviser that there were “about 1,000 suicide attempts per month among veterans we see in our medical facilities.”

American Soldiers Speak Out About Their Presidential Endorsements

Surprising Political Endorsements By U.S. Troops

ABC's Martha Raddatz asked American soldiers in Iraq what issues are most important to them when looking at the presidential candidates.

Though the military is not supposed to engage in partisan political activity, these soldiers spoke out about their personal endorsements, and their opinions are likely to matter. In 2004, 73 percent of the U.S. military voted for a presidential candidate, and officials believe it may be even higher this time around.

PFC Jeremy Slate said he supported Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., because of his stated intention to pull out of Iraq right away.

Only moments before speaking with ABC News, the troops had been listening to Vice President Dick Cheney give a rousing speech, but it didn't change their political preference.

Spc. Imus Loto said he supported Obama. "It will be something different. But he's out there and he'll probably support us a lot more."

What can $611 billion buy?

If the Bush administration succeeds in its latest request for funding for the war in Iraq, the total cost would rise to $611.5 billion, according to the National Priorities Project, a nonprofit research group.

The amount got us wondering: What would $611 billion buy?

GOP Losing Grip on Core Business Vote

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 20:30:04 GMT

clipped by: AcesLucky
clipper's remarks: Even long time staunch supporters of the GOP are turning away from the neo conservative republican party. Economically and socially incompetent, they are putting more emphasis on social issues (gays, abortion, social health care, etc.) than fiscal issues like the financial health of the country.

GOP Is Losing Grip
On Core Business Vote

Some business leaders are drifting away from the party because of the war in Iraq, the growing federal debt and a conservative social agenda they don't share. In manufacturing sectors such as the auto industry, some Republicans want direct government help with soaring health-care costs, which Republicans in Washington have been reluctant to provide. And some business people want more government action on global warming, arguing that a bolder plan is not only inevitable, but could spur new industries.

"We've lost control of spending," and the administration's execution of the Iraq war has been "incompetent." Mr. Clinch says he is liberal about rights for women and gays, and vexed that "we [Republicans] get sidetracked on these issues like gay marriage."

Overall, Democratic presidential candidates have raised more than $200 million this year, about 70% more than their Republican rivals.

You Have No Rights

clipper's remarks:

An executive order was issued by the president, on the 17th of July, and it said, basically, that if you protest or threaten what he calls “stabilization efforts in Iraq,” your property can be seized and you can be detained.

Hmm... long live King George!!

You Have No Rights

Matthew Rothschild, editor of The Progressive and author of “You Have No Rights,” explains how our president became a “medieval king,” and why your civil liberties are in greater danger than ever.

What rights do we have, actually, if the president can say, even of U.S. citizens, that you’re enemy combatants and throw you in jail

the Military Commissions Act allows them to identify any of us as an enemy combatant, and if you’re not a U.S. citizen, you can be thrown into jail and never have a right to talk to a lawyer or see a courtroom again for the rest of your lives.

Or they can outsource you for torture.

They can disappear you. I mean, Bush and Cheney—they act like we’re an Argentinean junta and they’re disappearing people here, or sending them overseas to secret CIA prisons.

What Fourth Amendment rights to privacy do we have

What First Amendment rights do we have to protest if we can’t protest
