www.missionnotaccomplished.us - We have all the evidence of mendacity and illegal war-making we need to indict and prosecute Bush, Blair and every other neoconster scum-bag on the planet having any involvement in the Bush's illegal war on Iraq and all the torture and other atrocities that have been committed since August 2002.

1. odd time

The house goes into session at 10AM, perhaps CSPAN will cover it live on CSPAN2?

It would be worth the effort to submit to CSPAN events coordinator :shrug:

4. I agree, Paine, that it would be worth pushing for Cspan2 coverage.

Peace.

Suggest Events: Submit a public event that you think C-SPAN should cover - [e-mail]

8. I've emailed them. Let's encourage others to do the same. It is an ...

.... historical event and one that undoubtedly has all the neoconster spin-mechanics working overtime to counter.

Peace.

3. Will someone mention false pretense for *Co's War?

5. There have been so many resolutions...

The Establishment wants to keep Iraq for as long as possible...it wants to establish its interests.

In a system where the people cannot vote on decisions like these, we won't leave until the Establishment allows it.
