Happy New Year.

I honor those who have given their lives and those maimed by BushCo's illegal war. Our troops did not ask to fight but were ordered by the current administration. David Hackworth writes-
"Even I – and I deal with that beleaguered land seven days a week – was staggered when a Pentagon source gave me a copy of a Nov. 30 dispatch showing that since George W. Bush unleashed the dogs of war, our armed forces have taken 14,000 casualties in Iraq – about the number of warriors in a line tank division.
We have the equivalent of five combat divisions plus support for a total of about 135,000 troops deployed in the Iraqi theater of operations, which means we’ve lost the equivalent of a fighting division since March. At least 10 percent of the total number of Joes and Jills available to the theater commander to fight or support the occupation effort have been evacuated back to the USA!" http://www.sftt.org/cgi-bin/csNews/csNews.cgi?database=Hacks%20Target%20Homepage.db&command=viewone&op=t&id=46&rnd=831.7964477544622

While our troops are engaged in a full scale occupation of a nation that, as has been documented, to have been no iminent threat to the United States. The neo-conservatives have released an open call for global warfare unseen since the days of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. By any stretch of the imagination this is illegal under our Constitution and under United Nations charter, and unjustified by 9/11 attacks by a terrorists. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400061946/commondreams-20

This whole remaking of our nation's Constitution stems from one fact. Mr. Bush has no right to be the President of the United States of America. From the illegal act by the Rehnquist court to intervene in the legitimate recounting of the Florida votes in 2000 there has been the full scale on slaught against the rights of Americans by Mr. Bush and his administration, with the full support of the most radical reactionary Republicans in Congress, and the backing of a activist judiciary at the Federal level.
