American Samizdat

Their title: "Pentagon may punish GIs who spoke out on TV" but the body of the article features this:
"It was the end of the world," said one officer Thursday. "It went all the way up to President Bush and back down again on top of us. At least six of us here will lose our careers."

Does that sound like 'may punish' to you?

Nearby, Pfc. Jason Ring stood next to his Humvee. "We liberated Iraq. Now the people here don't want us here, and guess what? We don't want to be here either," he said. "So why are we still here? Why don't they bring us home?"

Why don't they go home? You have only to scroll down on this page to partially see the answer to that: US soldiers are currently being paid by US tax money to guard Brown & Root--yes, the subsidiary of Cheney's company Halliburton which won the contract, I believe, without even putting in a bid. (Fielding bids before choosing a contractor strikes me as being a vaguely . . . capitalist idea, don't you think? And to forgo that process would be . . . what? You fill in the blank.)

There seems to be a certain theme here . . . when the US military invades Iraq they only guard one thing: the oil. After the invasion they only guard: the oil and all things oil-related including the US companies the Bush junta threw the rich plums to.

The 'yellowcake' lie is only one of many lies this admin has put out--but even at the root of this one one name keeps popping up: Cheney. And re: the link that A.Q. Jensen put on earlier?

Is Instapundit daft or what?
