The question is not whether we should attack Iran or not. The question is how can we stop the Bush Administration before it starts its third war in 4 years. It will not be easy. George W. Bush has made it clear that he considers himself to be above the law and answerable to no one. Tell Congress to let Mr. Bush know that his war-starting days are over.

Now we have to push the door open and take back our rightful place in our government (The Boss). If we let the Democrats and the lobbyists continue to conduct the people's business behind closed doors, we will be no better off than before.

George W. Bush may not be on the November 7th ballot, but this may be the most important election of his life. Americans, by a 3 to 1 margin, want the Democratic Party to regain control of Congress; and unless the Republicans manage to pull off another miraculous vote count, that could mean big trouble for the Liar-in-Chief.

Three interesting polls came out recently. One said 53% of Americans believe Bush should be impeached if he lied about his reasons war. Another found 57% believe Bush lied, and last one found Americans wanting Democrats to regain control of Congress. Do I smell impeachments in the air?

The compassionate conservative war plan is to rotate the same people in and out of Iraq again and again—until they are killed or wounded so badly they are no longer of any use to the Bush war machine.
