Certain Democratic leaders are now about to brand our party as nothing but
another group of politicians who make deals that involves quid pro quo.
My fellow soldiers are being sold out !
Do you understand my fellow democratic leaders that you have to distinguish
yourselves from the friggin Republicans?
If you cave into this King and his Monarchist, Tory, Party then you will be
hurting not only our party but this nation also. I plead with you: Do not cave
in!
I and many other progressives and Americans are going to watch who votes in
favor of this bill which sacrifices the lives of my fellow soldiers just
because you are to afraid or have succumbed to the Quid Pro Quo bones being
thrown to you!
You should not be giving bloody John McCain or King Bush and the Military
Industrial Complex what it wants !

Today, in the Arizona Republic our governor, Janet Napolitano was quoted as
saying that she's not ready to advocate for troop withdrawal. It was on the
front page of the Arizona Republic newspaper (3-8-07). She also made
statements like: there is progress in Iraq and our troops are getting things
done.
I want to know why she as political leader for the Democratic party of
Arizona is finally making a public statement on Iraq when for many months and
years we (the citizens of this state and country) have been dreaming of the day
that she would take a stand against the illegal occupation of Iraq and that we
would see her with us standing together arm and arm in front of Bloody John
McCain's office or Jon Hyl Kyl's office protesting as right wing wackos
and
monarchists shouted profanities at us and tried to hit us with their cars.
On top of it all, the members of the state Democratic party of Arizona voted
in 2005 for our troops to withdrawal from Iraq, now it can be said that this
was only a symbolic resolution on the behalf of the Democratic party of Arizona
but one thing this official resolution wasn't: some internet poll or unofficial
survey. This was an official resolution for a troop withdrawal. Janet
Napolitano is the leader of our party in Arizona, so these direct quotations
are in effect direct contradiction to what the membership of this party said in
2005: Withdraw our troops from Iraq. The elites seem to have gone along with
this resolution as type of patronization of the progressives in this party.
Furthermore, it will be said that our governor Janet Napolitano was not the
only one to be invited to Iraq by Secretary of Defense Gates but, I have seen
in the press where she met behind closed doors with officials of the Bush
administration supposedly just to discuss solutions for fighting fires in
Arizona. But, Janet's coddling up to right wingers in Bush's administration
represents the danger we all face when we eventually reach the highest levels
of power in politics: that we will associate so much with our ideological
opponents that we start to become like them.
These public statements by the governor are a symbolic slap in the face to
those in this party (the Democratic party of Arizona) and those independents
and progressives who know that George Bush is an evil and sick tyrant. Why
else, after all of our entreaties to her to stand with us would her first major
public statements not be against the illegal occupation of Iraq but instead for
it. she made statements to our reporters such as: She is not yet ready for a
troop withdrawal from Iraq? When I recieved the email from Mr. Wade today
from the Arizona Democratic Party of Arizona that governor Napolitano visited
Iraq, the statements that our governor made regarding her non-support for an
American troop withdrawal that she was quoted as making on the front page of
the Arizona Republic today were not included. This is not appreciated. We
progressives in this party are not children to be patronized or laughed at.
Just like the way Bush's people laughed at the
fundamentalist in his party, whose support he needed (behind their backs and
behind closed doors) as being ignorant and simple minded.

For those of you who say we are being unfair to our Arizona governor Janet
Napolitano and that she is being quoted out of context, we say that she is one
of the most politically savvy and uncanny politicians and that she does not
make "loose statements". For those of us who have watched her rise to
power in
Arizona, we have known of her over powering ambition to always put the
advancement of her political career as her top priority.
One must realize that she is a product of the Hillary group and that she was
schooled in their methods (rightly or wrongly) when she was sent out here to
Arizona years ago by President Clinton when he came to power . It is no
accident that she eerily similar to Hillary in her political strategies and her
public stances on the Illegal Occupation of Iraq.
But you know what? When many of us know human beings are actually being
murdered (American soldiers and citiizens of the world) for a lie (the
Occupation of Iraq) we have to sacrifice if necessary our political careers and
save lives and not leastly save this Republic from Fascism. Political careers
must come second. But, I am afraid that this political sacrifice is to much to
ask the governor and the elites in this party who hold stances on the Occupation
similar to hers. Why not triangulate and use the blood of American soldiers
(like John McCain is doing) to win the next election?
Why else would our governor make such grievous statements and symbolically
rub the progressives wounds in salt by not just staying silent but incredibly
now making statements that support more killing of American soldiers and
civilians in Iraq? Is the Senate position now held by John McCain now that
important. This may seem naive of me but why does Machivelli's ghost now seem
to run the governor's mind and the minds of other elites in this party?
We activist have had to sacrifice everything, including our political chances
in this party because at the end of the day and at the end of our of lives we
know that we stood for Right with my fellow brother and sister progressive
activist to bring home our American soldiers and fight for the survival of
this Republic. What a shallow life to always lust for political power at the
cost of human lives.
I ask the governor of this state (Arizona) to either retract her statement
about not standing for an American troop withdrawal from Iraq or that she
states that she is for an American troop withdrawal in the very near future
from Iraq.
Since we know that Napolitano is a political calculator who carefully takes
no chances as to not be seen as standing with the progressives who advocate for
getting our troops out of Iraq, we can also calculate that her advisors have
told her that the progressives in this party do not hold much power in the
Democratic party of Arizona (as they believe was demonstrated by the party
election last January of a state chair that progressives fought against). But,
the governor should be careful because progressives in this party hold more
power and influence than she probably believes. If it follows that she and
advisors believe that we progressives in this party do not hold much power, she
and they probably believe that if we left the party it would cause no harm to
their centrist republican view of the Democratic party.
In fact, it could shrewdly be concieved that if we progressives were pushed
out of the party (purged) , the DNC theme of the party would take complete
control of the Democratic party in Arizona . To this, I state to you my fellow
activists DO NOT let them push us out of the party for that is exactly what they
want, for then like the rest of the country they could consolidate and
incorporate their DNC philosophy over the Democratic party of Arizona.
I am deeply dissappointed and disheartened because although we could not get
the governor to come out and openly protest or publicly stand against the
continued killing of our American soldiers I never expected our governor
Napolitano to come out so arrogantly and brazenly advocate for the continued
presence of American troops in Iraq by stating that she doesn't believe they
should be withdrawn yet, as she was quoted in the Arizona Republic today.
I hope the governor and other elites in this party prove me wrong and come
out tommorrow publicly by stating openly that they are against the Iraq
Occupation and therefore put their petty political ambitions second and the
lives of our Americans soldiers first. We could expect this from Republicans
and Monarchist but not those elites who run the Democratic party. I apoligize
to all of those elites in the Democratic party who have come out publicly
against the occupation of Iraq, There are such leaders as Mr. Alfredo
Guiterrez who stand for what is right and join in our protest even to the point
of getting arrested for non-violent civil disobedience.
It is very easy now for well known politicians to go to the Martin Luther
King Celebrations that are held every January and smile for the cameras but
would they have stood arm in arm wit Dr. King when he was also a political
outcast from the elite of this nation? We need the leadership of men like Dr.
King who was savagely attacked and finally murdered for his courageous stand
for what was right.
So now I ask: Governor Napolitano are you for or against the Illegal
Occupation of Iraq? I have to ask this question because for all intents and
purposes today you took a stand for the Illegal Occupation of Iraq and
therefore indirect support of that murderous king and tyrant George Bush. So
this is not an unfair question to ask you because we activist put our lives and
careers on the line all the time by taking public stances against the Iraq War
and for others to state that since you hold an elite position in the Democratic
party as precluding you from taking a stance for or against the Iraq War
therefore is no excuse. Our fellow Americans are dying for a lie! Please do
not take the flip flopping stance of John McCain or the Fascist stance of Jon
Kyl.
Where are you govenor? We need your support not your opposition.

Thanks everyone for expressing an interest in the recall effort down here in
Arizona of the Flip Flopper John McCain.
Many have said that "bloody John" McCain has gone off the deep end on
the
contrary, he has not gone off the deep end, he is in fact part of an American
Cabal that wants Monarchy (a king) to rule through the so-called Unitary
Executive Theory in the United Staes of America.
He along with this cabal of men and women Neo-Cons who are joined at the hip
with the Military Industrial Complex have and are plotting in traitorous
fashion for future monarchist presidents such as George Bush to have the powers
of a king.
Now, I know that this seems far fetched but who would have thought 6 years
ago that our country would have been betrayed by those hooligans in the White
House and in the Executive Branch?
A strong story is circulating about Washington D.C. that a certain cabal of
generals (who care not for the U.S. Constitution have sworn an oath to follow
George Bush -their king- no matter what happens.
Also, don't buy for a second the public statements by Vice- President Cheney
(who has committed high crimes against this nation) that he is really pissed
off at Bloody McCain. Afterall, these traitorous scoundrels both it is quiet
clear believe in the Unitary Executive theory.
Now, he (Bloody John McCain) and his fellow anti-American Theocratic Neo-Cons
are on the verge of plotting to start WWIII with Iran. This recall is more
important than we know.
It is true, that many of our friends still remember the old John McCain and
either refuse to listen to the truth about him or just have not heard from us
yet about what he is doing and how is making the rest of the nation and the
world think that we support "Torture", suspension of Habeas Corpus, The
continued killing of my fellow soldiers in Iraq for his and George Bush's lie
and the desire for a monarchy.
Please, spread the word far and wide to get people to sign our petitions and
please combat non-violently the monarchist, Neo-Cons, and Fascists who will be
blogging fanatically for their "torture" leader John McCain. We can only
accomplish this huge task before us by working together.

Ask them why theres no pictures of the armored humvees with the new armor. Ask how well it is tested and not just for bombs but also how well does the armor stay bolted to the body of the humvee. Other questions if you talk to the army are how can they protect the roof and

protect the roof and floor and windows.

There may be problems with the new Frag kit 5. The trucks are so heavy they are not safe to drive fast and are hard to manuver. New York Times wants them on all humvees now but they didnt see any army reports on how safe they are in events other then bombs. There are reports on these.

John McCain won't tell you.

The citizens of Arizona hereby declare that senator John McCain has violated the
unwritten compact that is the trust of the citizens of Arizona whom he
represents. He has done this by shirking his duties as a senator from the
great state of Arizona by not enforcing the long held and sacred precept of
Habeas Corpus further he has
acquiesced in his role as a member of the legislative branch to strongly
check the power of the Chief Executive who has for all intents and purposes
become a king.

Please, help restore our demcracy recall "bloody John McCain".

Bloody John, where have you gone? Could it be your up a tree? Who treed
you Johnny was it the javelina Republicans or those Coyote Democrats? No, it was
just the tired and fed up citizens of Arizona living up to the western tradition
of showing Carpet baggers "the door". We've had enough of you and
now according
to our rights under the Arizona constitution we are going to recall you from the
position of trust that we gave you, in which betrayed our trust.
Good Bye, Johnny, now that you'll have more time on your hands why don't
volunteer to take the place of why of my fellow soldiers in Iraq for your own
personal surge.

I had a good breakfast that morning before our squads from 2nd platoon left
out of the wire for our Russian Roulette patrol down through a veritable
bomber’s paradise. Up to this point our M.P. company had started to take
heavy significant losses in casualities but thankfully, we had not had any
soldiers K.I.A. (killed in action). I always tried to eat a good breakfast
whenever I went on our almost daily missions at this time because quite
frankly, I didn’t know if it would be my last and much like a prisoner
convicted to die in the near future I felt that at least my last meal would
have been a good one.

We had all heard in our platoon about the even more deadly Platter Charges
(Shaped Charges) being used by the enemy. Basically, this type of charge could
be shaped to look like anything from a curb on the side of the road to a
seemingly innocent chunk of cement that seemed harmless until it was to late.
This type of charge was and is so powerful that it easily goes through the
armor of our humvees. To give an idea of how powerful this bomb was and is,
one need only look at the humvees that had been hit by them. I had seen
multiple humvees with usually two almost perfectly formed holes going right
through the armor of the driver’s door. It was like the proverbial “hot
knife going through butter”almost nothing could stop it.

Word had gotten out to the humvee drivers about this because this type of
bomb usually meant virtual suicide to the humvee drivers. And, we would see
these humvees coming back to our F.O.B.s drenched in blood. One of my buddies
who was on a special detachment to our brigade had heard that there were
already many fatalities due to this Platter Charge. In some cases if the
drivers were lucky this bomb would not decapitate them but would only take off
one of their legs. I describe this as “lucky” only because by this time the
U.S. Army had started handing out a new type of tourniquet that usually was
worn somewhere on the soldier’s body for immediate use. Well, my buddy from
the brigade attachment told me that the drivers were now wearing these special
tourniquets on their leg that faced their humvee door. They did this because
if the individual soldier was some how conscious and still clinging to life he
or she could tighten this tourniquet before they “bled out”
(bled to death) in about two to three minutes. I wore the tourniquet as
described above for a short period of time until I realized that this desperate
measure among my comrades was more of a mental tool to be able to go out of
“the wire” each day so they could tell themselves, maybe I could survive if I
wore this thing.

I hope, that it is not taken that when I say it was virtual suicide for the
humvee drivers if hit by one of these shape charges that the damage done to the
other occupants of the humvee was only minimal. To the contray, they were also
usually injured severely and killed. My emphasis on the driver was and
probably is because I mostly was a humvee driver even though, many a time I
was allowed to gun to relieve the monotony of the multiple hour patrols we went
on. Also, there were many other ways the enemy used I.ED.s to try and kill us,
like placing bombs underneath the roof of overpasses and not least of all
actual multiple anti-tank mines that had been found on our patrol routes which
if we had hit would have probably assured death for a tank much less for our
humvees and the finally, the deadly mortar with snipers thrown in for good
measure and let us not forget the VBIED (Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive
Device).

We had also heard about one of the counter-measures being used to stop this
deadly new charge. First of all, this type of bomb (the platter charge) was a
“motion and heat sensing device” that was set off by the movement and or the
heat of our humvees. It more than likely was soldiers that came up with an
ingenious yet simple device to counter this bomb, it was called the “Rhino”.
Basically, this device extends out anywhere from 6 to 8 feet in the form of a
long skinny light metal bar usually with a flap hanging down to the ground or
a metal chain. Before I go on, let me again emphasize that this was all in the
public press. The first place where I saw an actual drawing or picture of this
Rhino device in the press was in our Stars and Stripes newspaper right there in
Iraq where plenty of Iraqis on our post could see it, in fact, this newspaper
also had a complete diagram not only showing this device it went farther and
did what I never would have done and that was
show the strongest and weakest points on the humvee where armor was concerned.
Also, the other media outlet that described this device was Yahoo.com news
service and there probably others. The insurgents and all of the Iraqis had
already been made aware of this device the first day our units started driving
out of the wire with them. And knew long before what they were and how to try
and counter them before the American public even knew they existed. The
gangster Bush administration knew that if the American public found out about
how our soldiers were basically being slaughtered like sheep from these devices
that they would have been angered and tried to save my comrades lives. The fact
was, that even the armor was and is not protecting our soldiers now from these
very powerful platter and tank bombs.

We soldiers, the ones who had to drive outside of our F.O.B.s (Forward
Operation Bases) everyday saw those units that had these devices and we knew
that there were counter-measures to this deadly Platter Charge. Yet, when we
asked our leadership why we did not have these devices that the Regular Army
units had we were told that: “they were on order” and it would take at a
minimum weeks if not longer to get them. By this time, the enemy was using
these Platter Charges with great effect on us. We got to the point where we
were almost begging the leadership in our unit to get us these devices which
could and was saving soldiers lives in other units but to no avail were our
desperate pleas heard to please let us not be slaughtered like sheep. We
continued to drive on knowing that sooner or later something was going to
happen to us if we did not get a hold of these devices.

The weather was just starting to cool off and give us desperately needed
relief from the Supernatural heat of Iraq that day before my brothers, the
brothers of 2nd platoon were to go out on patrol that day. Being a native of
Phoenix Arizona, I wasn’t a stranger to a hot desert heat but this was
different. Maybe, it could have the been the at least extra 65 pounds of
equipment and armor we had to carry or maybe it could have been that 3 days of
driving back and forth in an un-air conditioned up- armored humvee where we had
to move our M.P. company from Camp Rustamayeh to Camp Liberty. We had to keep
the windows up all the way and the vehicle battle locked because if the windows
were only slightly cracked an I.E.D. could send fragments through those openings
but finally, we couldn’t take it anymore and the Sergeant cracked his window
because we were slowly suffocating and baking inside our humvee from the heat.
So, it was with great relief but an odd and strange
feeling I had that when both of our squads left Camp Liberty that morning of
September 26, 2005 to start our patrol.

Subject: Hey Sarge, I hope everything's fine, here's something I wrote in
Iraq but you can use the whole thing including what I wrote to you., Thanks,
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 20:10:11 +0000 (GMT)
From: leonard clark
To: sarge@unreportednews.net

Hey Sarge, how’s it going. I decided to let ya’ll see what got ol’ King
George and his sheriff Al Gonzo the Attorney General so sore at me while I was
down there in ol’ Iraq in 2005-2006. Below, is what I wrote from my heart in
Iraq on July 4th, 2005. Well, they twerent to happy when they called me into
the former palace of one of Sadam Hussein’s sons to tell me on July 4th, 2005
not tell the King and Gonzo that the U.S. Army wasn’t about torture and
slaughter of its own soldiers but they damn well heard it anyways.
Happy 4th, 2005
Well, happy days are here again! Our great Attorney General Gonzales flew
into the Ultra Safe Green Zone and gave a speech at the embassy. You remember
our Attorney General, the one who a chief counsel to the President, said it was
quite alright to use certain torture methods that might get by the Geneva
Convention, Washboarding, beating, etc. It's all there, folks, and our great
maniac executive strongly supports him. I'm reading the Stars and Stripes and
I'll feel so much more comforted when I'm standing up in the turret of my
Humvee or driving it because of these very comforting words by our A.G. : "As
we approach the Fourth of July weekend, I suspect there's some of you that are
here that sometimes feel lonely and you sometimes wonder whether you are not
alone, " and I'm here to tell you that you are not alone, that the American
people are very much with you."--Stars and Stripes, 7-4-05.
Oh, I can rest peacfully when the next bomb goes off because the man who
approved torture by the United States of America and deeply shamed this nation
has told me I am not alone. Well, he's right about one thing I know I'm
not
alone - whether it's the spooks or agents that are monitoring me or my journals
or those of you out there reading these words I am certainly not alone. I know
that many of those Iraqi people who wish to kill me and my fellow soldiers and
are constantly waiting for their oppurtunity are making sure my fellow soldiers
and I are not alone.
Well, I just wanted to thank the brave A.G. for flying into the Green Zone
and having to endanger himself behind all of his heavy security just so he
could tell me I'm not alone. My heart is truly warmed.
Now, fellow activists, let us keep up the non-violent fight against the
terrorists and the tryants at home who are needlessly endangering my fellow
soldiers and causing many of them to die needless deaths in this lie we call
the Occupation of Iraq. We need to let the three-piece-suited politicians and
their crooked lackeys know that we're mad as hell and we're not going to
take
it anymore! Immediately, fellow activist (even if you have to do it on your
own, although working through one of the organizations linked to this site
might also be the best way) find out how you local city, state, and federal
politicians stand on the occupation of Iraq. If they stand for the lie or are
just too afraid to do the right moral thing by standing against this horrible
occupation of Iraq, then quickly find somebody who is running against them. If
there is nobody running against, find somebody to run against them. Boycott any
companies that are profiting off of the blood of my fellow
American soldiers. And let us not forget our governors, congressmen and
senators (especially Democratic ones) - ask them or their representatives where
they stand on a timetable, and if they will not give you an answer then by all
means find someone who can take their places who will support a timetable.
I'm damn tired of my Democratic leadership in Washington D.C. that refuses
to
publicly call for an immediate timetable for a withdrawal from Iraq. To those
Democratic and Republican leaders who have done so I apologize in advance for
the questions you are going to start receiving from your constituents on this
issue, but you can no longer sit on the fence - our American soldiers are dying
needless deaths over here and dammit, you've got to take a stand or we'll
vote
somebody else in your place!
Not One More American Soldier Should Die Over Here in this Lie We Call the
Occupation of Iraq!

Lives
Thanks To George Bush And His Un-American Traitor Friends
By Leonard Clark

As I sit here listening to an old Peter Paul & Mary tape cassette that I
boughtt from the second hand store, my mind goes back to that day I found a
c.d. at the F.O.B. (forward operating base P.X. (post exchange). I liked to
listen to music on my battery operated c.d. player when we weren’t out “the
wire”.

Well, I was listening to this c.d and my team leader at the time, a
sergeant came into my sleeping quarters. I told him what I was listening to
and asked him if he liked Peter Paul and Mary to which he responded through a
grimace of disbelief and a grunt that meant “no”. I had known this
sergeant and he had been a friend of mine all the way back to Ft. Polk,
Louisiana where some of our leadership and the U.S. Army had put us through
“90 days of hell” (but that’s another story).

Even though we were comrades our relations had been strained and even
more so after hurricane Katrina had hit the Gulf States. This Sgt. And I were
only a smaller symptom of a growing awareness among many of my comrades and the
soldiers serving in Iraq. This awareness was that we were not safe from anyone
in Iraq, not just the Iraqis and foreign terrorist trying to kill us but from
our own leadership and that we in effect were like sheep for the slaughter,
just numbers in an “occupation” for oil companies and war profiteers that
were growing rich off the spilling of our blood and that it was needless for
us to waste our lives for a “lie” that was basically the occupation of Iraq.
We only knew that we must band together and fight for our own survival, it
wasn’t for high minded ideals that we were now fighting but for the love of
our fellow soldiers, our family, our “battle buddies”. We knew that we were
being played for suckers and dupes for that liar George
Bush and his crooked gangster friends.

When hurricane Katrina hit this awareness exploded into a raging fire
before our eyes I and other soldiers sat side by side next to those from
Louisiana and saw for the first time our poor fellow Americans floating face
down in the flooded streets of cities and towns throughout the regions
devastated by Katrina. I won’t lie and tell you that I was not deeply
distressed the first time I saw dead Americans floating face down in my own
country and that the rest of the Americans in the area were not being given
the speedy assistance and emergency help that they as part of our Union of the
United States deserved. Tears of rage, flowed down my face as I heard that
liar say: “Heck of a job Brownie.” Hurricane Katrina was the straw that
broke the camel’s back, because we knew that as National Guard soldiers we
should be taking care of and helping our own country and not helping prop up a
theocratic and corrupt government that said it was alright for Iraqi insurgents
to
murder our fellow soldiers.

One day, this Sgt. I had Spoken of earlier (whom I will always consider
my comrade and friend) reacted to the anger he saw in me and his other fellow
soldiers at not being home to help our own countrymen but instead defending a
far away people who to a large extent hated us and wanted us out of their
country. He told me and my battle buddy (the gunner in my humvee) that the
people who lived in those areas effected by Hurricane Katrina were at fault and
needed to help themselves and those who wre using that disaster as an excuse to
say we wrong for being in Iraq were communist. At this point things started to
go from bad to worse in our unit as we started to have more and more attacks
from the enemy until finally, we had our first fatality.

I am writing this article because I believe George Bush is unnecessarily
endangering my fellow National Guard soldiers on the Arizona border. You
may have remembered that a little over a week ago that the press covered an
incident here in Arizona along the Arizona border where National Guard
soldiers who are under the control of the governor of Arizona had fled an
armed group of heavily armed gunmen who approached their position along the
Arizona border and who it seems implied from the press did not have loaded
weapons. As if this were not intolerable enough, a fair sized front page
article ran three or four days ago on the cover of the Arizona Republic
newspaper was asking the question how large amounts of heavy and
semi-automatic weapons were being smuggled across the Arizona border with
Mexico and directly into the hands of Narco-Traficanos (highly international
drug gangs



Yes, the article implied that it was the independent gun dealers faults here
in Arizona for selling these weapons to representatives of Mexican drug
gangs and drug lords in Arizona but let me assert to you that I believe this
was a cover story for something far more ominous and extremely dangerous to
our citizen soldiers and American citizens:
George Bush has personally approved the sale of weapons and cash bribes
directly to Mexican Polleros (human smugglers)and drug dealers in exchange
for hoped information on terrorists, aka Iran-Contra, Manuel Noriega and
WWII dealings of the U.S. Government with organized crime gangs along the
ports of the U.S. to fight Nazi Infiltration, etc.

I don't blame you for right now saying: this guy is off his rocker but this
is why I sighted to you infamous cases in the past where other politicians
have dealt with murderers and drug dealing dictators. Thank about it,some
of the same people who were present during Iran-Contra are now present in
the Bush administration.

Now, some of you are saying so what, if Bush by paying murderous Narco
Trafficanos and human smugglers with hundreds of thousands of weapons and
American laundered money (I wonder who the new Colonel North is?)is fighting
terrorists it's a good deal. But I strongly assert to you that this is
indeed a terrible deel, for these Narco-Traffico International gangs don't
have INTERNATIONAL in their names by accident. They, I am convinced were
probing my fellow National Guard soldiers defensive positions several weeks
ago here in Arizona when they approached us and they were trying to tell us
something: WE are the bosses here, you do not control your own borders. They
incident was in many different major media outlets.

So, I state to you that we need to immediately demand our Congress hold
hearings into this with the strongest questioning and use of Subpeonas as
possible. If we wait the first slaughter of American citizens could be that
of my fellow National Guard soldiers on the border here in Arizona with
Mexico, Secondly, the victims who live in Arizona towns and citizents could
be the next victims of these Mexican drug-human smuggling elements that now
seem to be doing the dirty work of George Bush, the Commander In Thief.
Everything, I have told you is based off of what has been in the public
realm there are many books that detail the illegal acts of some politicians
who use our intelligence organizations for evil and criminal acts not only
against other nations but possibly worst of all: it's own American citizens

One excellent history of the CIA to start off with is a book called: A Man
Called Intrepid.
FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY AND CONSTITUTION BUSH AND HIS TRAITOROUS FRIENDS OUR
TRYING TO DESTROY IT AND WHAT OUR FOREFATHERS FOUGHT FOR! NO DAM KINGS!

NO MAS! NOT ONE MORE SOLDIER SHOULD DIE IN IRAQ! NOT ONE MORE!

I returned from Iraq in February 2006 and I still see the same lie being
foisted upon you the American people as when I was in Iraq patrolling the mean
streets of Baghdad. I have ridden first hand day by day either as gunner or
driver in my Humvee for a year long tour of hell in Iraq where everyday you
have to play Russian Roulette with your life. Imagine having someone place a
357 magnum pistol next to your head everyday and praying that it won't go off.
Then you start to get a feel for what some of us soldiers feel who go out of
the wire everyday in Iraq.

Of course you always hear that we volunteered to defend our country and place
our lives on the line well that it is true but what we did not volunteer for was
to be slaughtered like sheep. Here's an example of what I mean :

Anybody who drives down the roads of Iraq through its cities and villages
will pass by whole stretches of road where slaughter markets for sheep rebound.
The stench from these slaughtered sheep is so strong sometimes that it is all
one can do not to vomit when passing them. The passerby will see these poor
sheep writhing and twisting in pain as their throats are cut and it is truly a
pitiful sight as they slowly die with no way to defend themselves as their
blood drains out in the street.
Well, the reason I had to bring up that whole example is to dismiss the
criticism that we soldiers should die like sheep. But that's not the way it's
going to be told to you the American people. What I have just told you is only
the tip of the iceberg if you knew everything you would even redouble your
efforts to get my poor fellow soldiers out of this grand lie foisted on us by
grand infamous liars.
I am not going to stand by as an American citizen and let this happen I will
not be that citizen who says he was just following orders as the Nazi war
criminals stated at Nuremburg. I am for fighting the War on Terror and not
hijacking it to enrich my personal corporate donor friends and lackeys.
Our country is under attack from terrorist without and tyrants within.
Abraham Lincoln was right in his 1838 speech when he stated that the greatest
danger that this country could face wouldn't be from the enemies outside of
our
country but from domestic tyrants inside it.
Of course now there are those fellow American citizens who wish to do those
of us violence for telling the truth. If they carry out these acts of violence
against us: the People who wish to bring back our soldiers from this lying hell
in Iraq then they are no different from the foreign terrorist who tried to kill
me and my fellow soldiers in Iraq. The only difference will be that they will
have become domestic terrorist instead of foreign ones in the vein of Timothy
McVeigh.
The people that I follow are those who made our country an even better
democracy through non-violence and the fact that "Right" was on their
side,
people such as Dr. Martin Luther King and Caeser Chaverz.
I am running for the U.S. Senate as of January, 2007 against John McCain and
I am in the process of working on his recall here in Arizona
