US Troops Hiding Out In Iraqi Homes
A few words from U.S. troops in Iraq, all quoted in Chapter 1 of Dahr Jamail's brilliant new book "The Will to Resist: Soldiers Who refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan":
"Oh yeah, we did search and avoid missions all the time. We would go to the end of our patrol route and set up camp on the top of a bridge and use it as an over-watch position. It was a common tactic. We would just sit there and observe rather than sweep. We would call in radio checks every hour and report… Continue

The Resistors is a new film made for Under The Hood Cafe.
The Resistors is a new film made for Under The Hood Cafe. Now I know how I spelled "Resistors". But I did spell it that way for a reason. "...produces a voltage across its terminals that is proportional to the electric current..." They provide balance to the system. See how these Soldiers and civilians work together to create that balance and support each other were the Army fails.
This film is not available on YouTube.
The best picture and sound can be found on… Continue

Lou Dobbs: ‘US Troops Out Now!’
I don’t know how I missed it, but Lou Dobbs has called for immediate withdrawal of US troops. From Afghanistan? YES! From Iraq? YES! From Germany, Japan, South Korea, and everywhere else around the world? YES! He even has a petition on his Website! Here’s Lou Dobbs, in his own words:County GOP Goes Non-Interventionist? Not Yet…
Last week the executive committee of the Alameda County (Calif) Republican Central Committee approved a resolution to be voted on by the full committee calling for a non-interventionist foreign policy. Alameda County covers the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, with about 1.5 million people. Tuesday night the full committee met. [...]Dying for Crooks: US Troops in Afghanistan
Transparency International reported yesterday that Afghanistan is the most corrupt nation in the world – except for Somalia. Heckua achievement, if the only nation on earth that is more shady is one that is full of pirates… Karzai is making Marion Barry look like Mother Teresa. The Washington Post reported today that one of Afghanistan’s top ministers [...]Antiwar Radio’s Pacifica Debut
Antiwar Radio took to the California airwaves last night on Pacifica Network’s KPFK — 90.7 FM in Los Angeles and 98.7 FM in Santa Barbara. Former Iraq arms inspector Scott Ritter, Salon’s Glenn Greenwald and author James Bamford joined host Scott Horton for an hour of incisive perspective from the most important minds in foreign [...]Peres, in Argentina, Leaves Sense of Irony at Home
Israeli President and political office-juggler Shimon Peres is in Argentina schmoozing the poor man’s Eva Peron, batty President Cristina Kirchner, in the week before Palestinian Authority strongman Mahmoud Abbas visits. Though he seems to be trying to stay one step ahead of his enemies, he’s traveling so quickly he seems to have left behind sense [...]TRUTHOUT NEWS FEED
Depleted Uranium and the Medical Mismanagement of Gulf War Veterans
The United States insists that weapons containing depleted uranium (DU) pose no health hazards to exposed populations. This charade persists because an artful propaganda matrix has infiltrated and corrupted certain aspects of the radiation and biological sciences. The facts which follow will introduce how our debilitated veterans are being misinformed of the possible role played by uranium in their illnesses.
Venezuela Blows Up Two Bridges Along Colombia Border
Venezuelan forces destroyed two pedestrian bridges that spanned the border with Colombia, further heightening tensions between the two countries that have been at odds since Colombia agreed to allow the US military to expand its presence on Colombian bases.
Robert Reich | Harry Reid, and What Happened to the Public Option
First there was Medicare for all 300 million of us. But that was a non-starter because private insurers and Big Pharma wouldn't hear of it, and Republicans and "centrists" thought it was too much like what they have up in Canada -- which, by the way, cost Canadians only 10 percent of their GDP and covers every Canadian. (Our current system of private for-profit insurers costs 16 percent of GDP and leaves out 45 million people.)
Protests Don't Stop UC Regents' 32 Percent Fee Hike
Surrounded by campus police dressed in protective riot gear and armed with beanbag guns, hundreds of student protesters at UCLA Thursday chanted "Shame on You, Shame on You" toward the building where the UC Regents had just voted to raise tuition and fees by $2,500 over the next year.
Murder at Guantanamo?
With recent news reports centering on Attorney General Eric Holder's announcement that some Guantanamo detainees would be prosecuted in federal court and revamped, albeit flawed military commissions, important stories from previous months related to the prison facility continue to sink ever deeper into the swamp of our collective amnesia.

U.S. Sovereignty About To Be Signed Away Through International Treaty

Please share around. GOTTA GO! I'm taking the kiddo to visit her Grandma!
I am currently writing a book and it is about the real story in Iraq the deaths and pain and real danger of the situation. I want people to know what is actually happening and also try to prevent kids from not thinking about the facts first before they join. I am a OTH discharged National Guardsman I was 11B and well I was going to declare CO status but then I was discharged cause I refused to go to Drills, but I never went to Iraq so I need for people who did to send me their stories and the reasons why they believe the war is wrong
Thanks
George
Do you know anything about the coffee house there?
Our Massachusetts GI Rights group is hoping to be assigned all of the calls that come in to the Hotline from Ft. Drum.
Any more info would be helpful.
I recently heard that IVAW has a new branch ON Fort Drum. Do you know anything about it?
