Don’t be hoodwinked by Obama’s claim that the Iraq war is ending. We still have 50,000 troops there, tens of thousands of contractors and the biggest Embassy in the world. While we watch President Obama try to put a positive spin on a disastrous war we should have never started, let us redouble our efforts to bring ALL our troops home–from Iraq and Afghanistan. Join us in Washington DC on October 2 as we gather with civil rights activists, union members, women’s groups, youth and the peace community to call for jobs and bringing our war dollars home. Learn more about One Nation Working Together and sign up here to join me, Alice Walker, Medea Benjamin, and activists from around the country. If Glenn Beck could bring out hundreds of thousands of people with his message of glorifying war, surely we can bring out even more people with our message of glorifying the power of peace building in helping us restore our economy and our democratic ideals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Whether Obama’s claim that the war is over is true or not, his announcement is sure to dry up donations to the peace pimps of IVAW and Code Pink. Imbeciles like Matthis Chiroux will be forced to get a job. <\/p>\n
Speaking of Matthis, someone sends along a couple of interviews he did in regards to the three-second protest they conducted last week at Fort Hood under the name “The Derelicts” or some thing like that. He has certainly pumped up his sense of self-worth over the last few days.<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\nPersonally, I don’t see how IVAW can continue to suffer his hyperbole as a member of their board while he hangs out with Bobby Whittenburg who has basically called IVAW a bunch of wimps. Cynthia Thomas is no more a “family member” of a deployed soldier than Matthis is an Afghanistan veteran.<\/p>\n
But, I’m sure someone will write that IVAW isn’t responsible for the actions of a few members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
