Their refuge lies in the litany of safe exceptions to policy now cited - poor planning & decisions, underestimation of "insurgency" (not resistance), and, of course, the difficulties of "exporting democracy". populist Thu, 09 Nov 2006 18:08:35 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/bush_s_permanent_war_economy_must_crash Rarely discussed is how the endless war on terror requires a permanent war economy, with taxpayers subsidizing the military industry at the expense of domestic social programs and global security. populist Fri, 03 Nov 2006 19:41:01 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/could_santa_claus_come_early_this_year The master plan would need to be written and adopted by the Democratic leadership, and also made public, before the 110th Congress convenes on January 3, 2007. And it would have to be placed on the congressional table, displaying the impeachment of Bush and Cheney as its centerpiece. populist Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:37:43 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/early_populism_1898_american_anti_imperialism Doesn't it seem like the more things 'change' the more they seem to merely 're-invent' themselves? Like Ho Chi Min City [nee: Saigon] and Baghdad, Americans were originally hailed as liberators! United States troops then over stayed their welcome and were later fired upon and then bombed with make shift materials by local patriots. populist Thu, 02 Nov 2006 05:38:52 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/iraq_is_vietnam_and_you_d_better_believe_it Nothing destroys troop morale faster than being in a war you know is pointless. As the situation continues to deteriorate in Iraq, anti-American feelings will increase. Cursed for staying, we will now be cursed for leaving. Iraq will become an ever more dangerous place for any American to be. populist Wed, 20 Dec 2006 04:17:08 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/no_more_surge_time_to_purge There is a time to say "NO!" and this is it. No more money, no more troops, no more machinations. We need to fund whatever it takes to get us out of Iraq and that is all, period. populist Wed, 17 Jan 2007 00:30:27 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/no_yellow_ribbons_from_this_ex_marine A bold pronouncement saying, "I do not support the troops," is not something that you expect to read or to hear in the mainstream media. And I hadn't. not until March 27, when a former marine of the Vietnam era had his sentiments unmistakably expressed in a letter sent to The Oregonian. populist Thu, 12 Oct 2006 23:51:49 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/revisiting_the_vietnam_war_era With the Iraq war continuing, the lists of dead and wounded getting longer and protests about the war growing stronger, it seems like time to revisit some key events of that era. populist Sun, 19 Nov 2006 15:54:55 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/thank_you_soldier_but_you_neednt_fight_for_my_freedoms I may be helping to pay the fare for the military, but I much prefer to get nothing in return. I mean nothing! Soldiers aren't fighting to defend America from enemy nations, nor are they fighting any frontlines of the war on terror. As for the idea that they are fighting for our freedoms, it borders on the ridiculous! populist Fri, 20 Oct 2006 18:51:04 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/the_lies_which_lead_to_war America please wake up, the lives of children here and all over the world depend on it. We must hold these fear inciting war criminals accountable as it is they themselves who are profiting from the continued violence and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan through unethical defense investments through the private financial firm the Carlyle Group populist Thu, 12 Oct 2006 00:12:12 GMT
