Their pullout will help reduce terrorism. The Islamic terrorists want only one thing - the end of the US invasion of the Middle East. They are using the only weapons they have against us - terrorism. The US, meanwhile, is wasting lives and effort in Iraq and now we are pulling troops out of Afghanistan and reducing the search for Osama and the real terrorists. This allows Osama to continue terror against those countries invading Iraq. Does this sound like a viscous circle? It is.
We have idiots leading our government who are pursuing family feuds and personal wealth and power. Their macho attitude is killing our troops for no reason. Bush is blind in his pursuit of "victory" in Iraq. And he is leading the US into disaster. Spain has decided to get off this crazy bus. They are showing common sense.
Oh - another 10 US troops have been killed in Iraq this weekend.
Of course no information on how many were wounded. Or how many Iraqis killed and wounded.

Watchers watching the watchers
The following is from an email I received from Takhoman, the Internet news in Tacoma who first broke the story of their police chief Brame when the regular media would not touch it. Takhoman is reliab
Read non-mainstream press and websites
If you want to know what is happening in Iraq then you have to read the foreign press and independent websites. The major American news media are not present where the action is and are simply sanitiz
Tragedy and war crimes in Iraq
You will not learn the full truth about this week in Iraq for many years - if the US military has its way. Our troops are causing unspeakable horrors to the Iraqi people. You must read the foreign pre
A missile into a mosque
To watch CNN today is to ask “what mass killing of Iraqis in a mosque”. Same on FoxNews. Not mentioned directly and you have to look elsewhere for details. Much talk about ‘test of wills’ and US milit
10 killed is only the tip of the iceberg
When some of the 24 US soldiers wounded in Iraq over the weekend die from their wounds - they will not be counted as deaths in Iraq. Only those who actually die on the battlefield are counted.<
Citizens need initiative
Initiative 872 will allow us citizens to vote to have a ‘Top 2’ primary election process. The ‘Peoples Choice’ initiative is now launched by the Washington State Grange. You can order petitions at the
Fooling with elections

As scripted, a partial veto. Gov. Locke vetoed the ‘Top 2’ section of the primary election bill, SB6453. This gets the Republican and Democrat party bosses off the hook - a huge favor to t
No Locke on SB6453
Gov. Locke is not scheduled to act on the primary election bill today. This the 20th day since the legislature adjourned and supposedly the last day he can act on a bill. SB6453 is missing from his fu
For those who are in awe of the ‘experts’ in Olympia
For your morning entertainment. And for those who are in awe of the ‘experts’ in Olympia. Gov Locke vetoes three sections of a bill meant to streamline our bankruptcy laws. To wit:

They all know they violated the public trust
Before Wednesday, Gov. Locke will act on SB6453, the primary election bill. There has been no news on his deliberations these past two weeks. All legislators are very quiet. No press releases by the p
Let the parties use the caucuses
Gov. Locke has not acted on the primary election bill. No doubt he is wondering how his reputation will be hurt if he vetoes the ‘Top 2’ process. He will be known in the future as the guy who tried to
Locke is working _with_ the party machines
Today’s Bham Herald editorial is well meaning but hopelessly ignorant of the process in Olympia. Naive may be a better word to describe their editorial board. Gee, goes the editorial - the legislature
Delays are due to secret bargaining
Will Gov Locke veto the ‘Top 2’ primary process and allow the Montana process to become law? Probably, but not necessarily. He may sign the entire bill - getting himself off the hook with voters - and
Expect a partial veto
The ‘Top 2’ primary election bill has a poison pill in it. Our legislators tonight have changed just three words that will allow the Republican and Democratic party bosses to successfully challenge th
Voting against democracy
We have Kelli Linville and Doug Ericksen voting against democracy and for the iron grip of the two political parties on our election process. Shame on them.

They always say they “suspended the rules”
SB6453 passed the House late this evening by a vote of 51 to 46. Now - if Gov. Locke will just sign it. More when we have more facts. The morning papers should cover it decently.

Democracy on the line

Top 2 primary election bill, SB6453
- Senate Bill number 6453 - has passed the Washington State Senate by a vote of 28 to 20. This is the primary that allows citizens to vote for whom they want to represent them - the good primary.
