Its not big surprise, really. Nobody serioulsy thought that anyone in Congress actually cares about Iran, Israel or anything else for that matter, besides power and money that is. Still, the Jerusalem Post revealed that even by Neocon standarts it is truly the worst of the worst SOBs which are behind the warmongering HR21 and that this entire exercise was commissioned by the Israeli spin-doctors who are concerned about the worldwide outrage at Israeli policies. But still - Dershowitz?! I mean,...

Dear Ms. Koberg, I see that your job title is "Public Relations Director." Congratulations on attaining this fine position that is no doubt the culmination of years of hard work. Far be it from me to offer you any advice on how to do your job, but if I were you, I would be aware that your organization's decision to ban Dr. Ron Paul from the Iowa debates is not likely to enhance the standing of your institution in the eyes of the public. It is making news everwhere. The world knows about it. It...

Journalist and historian Gareth Porter debunks the lies of Dick Cheney regarding Iranian involvement in sending weapons to the Taliban in Afghanistan, AIPAC and the American Warfare State and the danger of instability in Pakistani nukes falling into the hands of the crazies.

If that Communist Michael Moore gets his way. Or they'll look like this roach-infested hell in Moore's beloved Cuba, which Castro claims is one of his slave state's "most modern" hospitals.

On the Liberated Space [mp3], Steve Kubby finally said something I fundamentally disagree with. He dodged the question about what structure the US military should have -- and I was very curious what his answer would be -- and spoke about how he admired Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase as a model of what to do instead of go to war when we're threatened. OK, first of all, a nitpick. Kubby said the Purchase was $2 million. It was actually $15 million. With interest, it was more like $23 million....

Guys - check this out. Also, please take a look at my request for technical assistance in the comments section under this post, in particular my point #1: converting the friggin flash stream into a normal (mpeg/avi) video file. Let's give these tortured guys the only help we can provide by making their plight - and the lies spread about them - known Thanks.

This resolution is an exercise in propaganda that serves one purpose: to move us closer to initiating a war against Iran. Citing various controversial statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, this legislation demands that the United Nations Security Council charge Ahmadinejad with violating the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Having already initiated a disastrous war against Iraq citing UN resolutions as justification, this resolution is...

Nevermind that this is all based on a falsified translation of Ahmadinejad's words, nevermind that the UN itself had condemned Zionism as a form of racism for many years, nevermind that Iran poses absolutely no threat to anyone in the region - the US Congress has covered itself in shame and disgrace yet again. After cheering on Israel for its "continued efforts to prevent civilian casualties" during the war in Lebanon last summer, after congratulating Israel on its illegal conquests, Congress...

Sir, Praise be to God that He is merciful on the likes of you for either acquiescing to--or directing--a decision to block Dr. Ron Paul from the Iowa debates. However, I and millions of others believe that this is is a grave mistake that contravenes the spirit of idea exchange and vigorous debate that keeps our country and its moral climate healthy. Even more importantly, excluding Ron Paul is contrary to the lesson taught in the Bible in Luke Chapter 4 vs. 5-7. Political power inevitably...
