BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. authorities in Iraq (news - web sites) have appointed a team of inspectors to probe corruption committed by the former regime and to oversee the workings of an Iraqi government when it takes power later this year.

Paul Bremer, the U.S.-appointed governor of Iraq, said the inspectors would be part of an independent Inspector General's office which will be responsible for monitoring the functioning of each of Iraq's 25 ministries

9. All I could think was, "I'll be a son of a bitch".

I will always remember Senator Byrd in October of 2002. On the floor of the Senate, he warned every single senator of what they were doing. Each Senator, voting for the "RESOLUTION", was guilty of abdicating their responsibility they took with their oath to serve. I remember we all here at DU sent flowers and swore never to support any Dem that voted against the people. Does anyone remember that couple of days? Damn, if I sure do not. I want everyone here to hold the Dem Candidate's feet to the fire. I want answers. I want to know why everyone here has gone light.

Just an epitaph in the South, don't you know. But still, that is how I feel. The US in Iraq, we (the US) are or own worst enemy. Many more are going to die if we here in the "Homeland" don't get out on the streets. We can not afford to wait.

I do not want to protest, I do not want to march, I do not want to be photographed, I do not want to be arrested,......but,

What choice do I/we have. None of us like what is happening. We have to make our voices be heard and now. We just can not afford to wait for an election. If we wait without action we will lose and have Bush, Inc. for at least 4 more years, maybe 8 (eight). Sound like fun for you?

I have let my government, in my name, send women and men off to die over deception. I refuse, as a citizen of this US of A to accept this.

You, Mr President, and all your Cabinent are fired.

The Broom Brigade is Coming!

The Granny Brigade, CodePink and all the rest of us "WOMEN"! We are getting ready to clean HOUSE!

Personally, I like Clinton's lies better than yours. I can understand lying about an affair to protect the injured party. I can't understand lying about potential "threats to the "HomeLand" " and having 10's of thousands killed and or maimed. Iraqis and Americans. There is no good reason for any person to have died in this conflict. You sir, are a criminal of the worst sort. You have committed treason and high crimes against this government.

Bush and this Administration are "WAR CRIMINALS"! The Best Part is I am not afraid to say it. You, Sir, are a CRIMINAL!

No if's, no and's,and no but's.

So Sorry.

We will see you soon.
