Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Democrats make gains with veterans clipped by: dulios clippers remarks: Current Republican leaders, from Bush and Cheney to Giuliani and Rove, avoided service in Vietnam. Clip Source: www.politico.com In the past two election cycles, Democrats have added ten new Democratic veterans to Congress. Last week, President-elect Barack Obama helped close the gap among military voters, winning 44 percent of veterans as opposed to John F. Kerry?s 41 percent in 2004. Clip Source: www.politico.com Domestically, the party that rushed us into war in Iraq has abandoned the needs of veterans here at home. It was a Democratic senator, Jim Webb of Virginia, who led the successful fight against the Bush Administration for a new GI Bill. It has been Democrats who have fought to expand health benefits for veterans, improve access to health care for reservists, and cut through the red tape at the VA. Now, it will be up to a Democratic president to rebuild a military that has been pushed to the breaking point by a Republican. Tags: veterans, gi bill, democrats, republicans zum Artikel... Hope for Change? clipped by: thisnamecantbetaken clippers remarks: Bush may speak of al Qaeda, perhaps of "Islamofascism," and others hell accuse of brutality, while contrasting their ideology with a vision he claims to have of peace, liberty, prosperity. But the U.S. government differs not from those extremist groups who use violence to further their causes, for ours is a government which also uses unjustified violence or the intimidating threat thereof to advance its own agenda. The US... has become like the rogue states it takes pride in condemning. Our military is not used to defend our freedom any longer, it is used to enforce an evil interventionist foreign policy. I do believe this empire will eventually end. The choice is between ending it voluntarily by choosing peace and bringing our troops home from all over the world, or its demise out of necessity from economic and human suffering in America. To save lives, rather than a "liberation" of Iraq, the world needs liberation from American imperialism. Clip Source: mwcnews.net No Hope for Change This Veterans Day I realize that the U.S. government has learned nothing from Korea or Vietnam. The same goes for past presidents all those who have risked their lives "for our freedoms," those who have fought "the enemy, " and "served our country." those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Bush is the one with blood on his hands, and his speech on Veterans Day does not wipe them clean in the eyes of America or the world.  his "war on terror." our military men and women are not dying protecting our nation. Americans are a people slowly acknowledging that our military men and women are merely pawns to be slaughtered in a game, a deadly political game of geopolitical control of resources which has nothing to do with preserving the freedom of this nation. It is a government which calculatingly uses the cause of "national security" to enrich themselves and subjugate others. his "war on terror" militarism and empire building has nothing whatsoever to do with "security" but with conquest Tags: end the wars, afghanistan, iraq, war on terror zum Artikel...

"This is Jane Fonda speaking in Hanoi, and Im speaking privately to U.S. servicemen who are stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin ... Seventh Fleet in the Anglico Corps ....You are very far away, perhaps, and removed from the country youre being ordered to shoot shells at and bomb, and the use of these bombs, or the condoning of the use of these bombs makes one a war criminal. The men who are ordering you to use these weapons are war criminals according to international law, and in the past in Germany and Japan men who were guilty of these kinds of crimes were tried and executed."
