In a statement released today, Feingold said: <BR/><BR/>At my town hall meetings, online, and everywhere I go, I hear the American people demanding that the President and his administration be held accountable for their misconduct, both with regard to the disastrous war in Iraq and their flagrant abuse of the rule of law. Censure is a relatively modest response, but one that puts Congress on record condemning their actions, both for the American people today and for future generations.<BR/><BR/>What about Impeachment?Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283557503536810926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-76526931277340611272007-07-22T11:09:00.000-07:002007-07-22T11:09:00.000-07:00AP:The U.S. would consider military force if neces...AP:<BR/><BR/>The U.S. would consider military force if necessary to stem al-Qaida's growing ability to use its hideout in Pakistan to launch terrorist attacks, a White House aide said Sunday.<BR/><BR/>The president's homeland security adviser, Fran Townsend, said the U.S. was committed first and foremost to working with Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, in his efforts to control militants in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.

So he asked the White House to see the secret documents. <BR/><BR/>On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED. <BR/><BR/>"I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio says. <BR/><BR/>Homeland Security Committee staffers told his office that the White House initially approved his request, but it was later quashed. DeFazio doesn't know who did it or why. <BR/><BR/>"We're talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America," DeFazio says. "I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee." <BR/><BR/>Bush administration spokesman Trey Bohn declined to say why DeFazio was denied access: "We do not comment through the press on the process that this access entails. It is important to keep in mind that much of the information related to the continuity of government is highly sensitive." <BR/><BR/>Get ready to lose your freedom!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283557503536810926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-72567576294444561302007-07-22T05:55:00.000-07:002007-07-22T05:55:00.000-07:00Worf:Check out the Saturday post on Patriots blog....Worf:<BR/><BR/>Check out the Saturday post on Patriots blog.

Here are the major incidents, as reported by Iraqi and U.S. sources:<BR/><BR/>U.S. helicopters and warplanes attacked a Shiite area on the outskirts of northern Baghdad, killing at least 15 people and wounding 10, according to the Interior Ministry. U.S. officials disputed that, saying six insurgents were killed and five people wounded when military aircraft used rockets and a bomb to attack two buildings in Hussainiya, where gunmen holed up after firing on U.S. forces.<BR/><BR/>In Baghdad's Sadr City Shiite enclave, a bomb destroyed a minibus, killing five wounding 11.<BR/>At least 13 people were reported killed in the northern city of Mosul during a spate of bombings and other killings.<BR/>Police in Baghdad said they discovered 17 unidentified corpses.<BR/>Iraqi officials blamed celebratory gunfire as several people were killed and scores wounded in Baghdad and Basra after Iraq's national soccer team defeated Vietnam 2-0 in Asian Cup competition in Bangkok.<BR/><BR/>You sure have screwed your "surge" up Bush: Like everything else you do.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283557503536810926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-70032209646859468322007-07-22T05:03:00.000-07:002007-07-22T05:03:00.000-07:00When is the last time a President fought for worke...When is the last time a President fought for workers:<BR/><BR/>AP:<BR/><BR/>Democrat Barack Obama told union activists Saturday night that he would walk a picket line as president if organized labor helps elect him in 2008.<BR/><BR/>The Illinois senator also criticized President Bush's policies toward working people.<BR/><BR/>"We are facing a Washington that has thrown open its doors to the most anti-union, anti-worker forces we've seen in generations," Obama told a convention of Iowa's largest union of state workers. "What we need to make real today is the idea that in this country we value the labor of every American."<BR/><BR/>Four other Democratic presidential candidates have courted activists at the annual convention of Council 61 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents more than 20,000 Iowa state workers.<BR/><BR/>Like them, Obama said he was committed to union causes and challenged Bush's labor policies.<BR/><BR/>"I stood on the picket line and marched with workers at the Congress Hotel in Chicago last week," Obama said. "I had marched with them four years earlier and I told them when I left that if they were still fighting four years from now, I'd be back on that picket line as president of the United States and we'll get the Congress Hotel organized."<BR/><BR/>"I won't just vote the right way with you, I will stand with you," he said.<BR/><BR/>Obama cited his years as a community organizer in Chicago and said the experience brought him closer to people who are struggling.<BR/><BR/>He asked union activists to keep that in mind in deciding which candidate to support in January's Iowa caucuses, which open the presidential nominating process.<BR/><BR/>"When I talk about hope, when I talk about change, when I talk about holding America up to its ideals of opportunity and equality, this isn't just the rhetoric of a campaign for me, it's been the cause of a life — a cause I will work for and fight for every day as your president," Obama said.<BR/><BR/>He also portrayed himself as a political outsider, and said a new figure is needed to break the gridlock in Washington.<BR/><BR/>"We've heard promises and slogans about change before," Obama said. "The road to Washington is often paved with good intentions, but it always ends in the same divisive, polarizing politics that's blocked real progress for so many years."<BR/><BR/>The union plays an important role in Iowa Democratic politics. Besides campaign money, an endorsement brings into play a legion of talented organizers throughout the state.<BR/><BR/>How many Presidents have stood up for workers this way!Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283557503536810926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-51514351837256093372007-07-21T23:32:00.000-07:002007-07-21T23:32:00.000-07:00People come here to talk, not be insulted by some ...People come here to talk, not be insulted by some Charles Manson clone with a keyboard.WORFEUS THE SEERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08747050986194593753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-69704672166570414812007-07-21T23:29:00.000-07:002007-07-21T23:29:00.000-07:00Bullshit Volt.
