defeatist committeeThe House just completed voting, and has approved 246-182 the Democrats' defeatist resolution. This was  expected: but the good news is, the 40-60 Republican defectors that the Democrats had been predicting failed to materialize. Only seventeen Republicans voted for the resolution --- and two Democrats broke ranks to vote against it. 

 

First,  let us recognize the two Democrats who did the right thing:

What are you thinking

Democracy in America is dead. Our freedom was murdered on the way to Washington. Our elected officials have become business agents for foreign countries who have come to buy a peice of America as a trophy. The nations income taxs has become a slush fund for corporate welfare. President Bush has decided to invade Iraq. On 9-11 he tried to kill two birds with one stone. He has chosen to become the savior of the world. To do so, He must create the world in his own image. Our Generals have been ordered to pacify Iraq like the Army made the Wild Wild West safe for the Rail Road. The Army murdered the Indian Nations for corportate America. Americans and the new immigrants were allowed to own 40 arcres of land and a mule if they helped to kill the Indians and drive them onto reservations. They were called godless people who committed terrorist acts against american. All of this was done in the name of GOD and manifest destiny. Bush has ordered the modern day military to do what the 7th calvary did to the Indian nation at Wounded knee. Bush's war is to pacify Iraq until they give his oil companies control of all of their natural resources.
We have the best educated Generals from the best of this nations elitists universities, war colleges, and advance officers training schools.(Harvard, Yale, Princton) What has this nation gotten for their money? 6 years of excuses of having no clue has to what the hell happen! It seems to me that the only thing our generals have learned-is how to lie- from their years of college is to know how to lie to this nation in 10 different languages.
This war must end now. We the people are paying the bill. We pay 80% of the taxes. Let the wealthy use their 20% tax-exempt money and the blood of their worth-less children to win the war in Iraq. Bush claims to have a mandate from the people! Where! Unless, he takes out all of those who voted democrat, the only mandate he has is to resign from office.
We are not at war. We have never been at war. The Bush clan have been beating up Iraq for 16 years. The only military left are the men Bush fired. Our soldiers are fighting their civilian military. They are fighting Iraq's unemployed whos economy have been destroyed, who resent the Americans who have blown up their country!
They resent that Bush is forcing them to surrender over their oil rights or they will not be allowed to eat. This nation is being forced to sign over their oil rights under duress. Any oil contract sign by this country is null and void! Foreign aid is being used as a weapon of war to make Iraq submitt to foreign control. Our tax dollars are being used to bribe all of the tribal leaders and those who have authority in Iraq. They intend to make the few rich if they can keep the masses under control. Our foreign aid is being use as a form of corruption. Bush wants to by peace. It will fail! A billion muslims will fight Bush deal! Muslims are not Indians.
Since oil was found in the Middel east the Rockefellars and Wall Street have created a plan to over throw the middle east so they can own all of the oil. The father of General storming Norman of the first Gulf War Swartcoff??? help to overthrow Iran in the 50's. He was a General! I guess because of his service his son was allowed to become a General. Since the Shah of Iran was kick out of power in Iran, the CIA has made every effort to over throw Iran again. If I was Iran, I would want a nuclear weapon has well! The CIA has always maintain a strategy of tenion to overthrow Iran. They are constantly trying to overthrow the Mullas.
Osama ben Laden has to be a Saudi agent. He will never be caught by the west. He is widly supported by the wealthy of Islam. They contribute billions to Pakistan to protect Ben laden. The Saudi's are angry at the Bush adminstrations who pressured them into allowing foreign troops on saudi soil. They wanted the Bush people to negotiate. They did not! The satilite photos used by Cheney to decieve the Saudis was a lie. The Russian used bought a civilian satilite photo to prove the Bush people lied. The Russian photo was taken on 9-11. Osama ben Laden attack this nation on Sept 11. The sins of the father was visited on the son. Ben laden's attack Bush's son for not allowing him to fight for Islam when his father was President.
This nation is suffering from the sins of its past. The bible says," No you not that your sins will find you out." The fascist JP Morgan and friends who tried to overthrow FDR are the same people who killed JFK. All of those who supported Nazi's and Hitler during WW2 who were mainly among the rich went unpunished. The radical republican party used money from the nazi's to beat FDR. Thomas Dewy said that FDR's "unconditional surrender" is costing american lives and prolonging the war! The republicans like the Rockefellars, W D Davis-oil-Texas oil, Morgans and Fords were making private deals to save their nazi friends agter the war.
this nations out of their natural !
