Iraq and Afghanisran

Well what else is new. this war in iraq is a cover up for big american oil corporations to profit along with the two tyrants in the white house to profit. the cover-ups by bush and cheney should land both of these THIEFS behind bar's. to lie about military casualties is a cover-up and a complete disgrace. this is not new the government has covered up and lied about everything they do. IN A TRUE DEMOCRACY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS COVER-UP'S. that is why we now have a DICTATOR in the white house. go back to the attack on New York City 9/11 this is a cover up. what is a real shame is that the people of this country dont demand the truth about every thing our government does. but then again what can you expect from a bunch of SHEEP, the people who dont care what the government does to them. this is why america is going to become a (THIRD WORLD COUNTRY)

Coverage of war

Where is mainstream news on this?
Oops, sorry that was a supid question: they print what the pentagon tells them, and they have a Pentagon representative in each main media source.

For sure they have 1 at CNN: this was exposed during the 1st Golf war.

Does anyone scream?

How about the main VA hospital still not fixed up? How about the tiny increase of budjet for the whole VA administration?
