US Troops Hiding Out In Iraqi Homes

By David Swanson

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.

Casey J Porter, GI resister...

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

Hey Gordon I would like to ask for your help

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

Thanks Gordon. That is amazing! Are you in touch with the group? I have been counseling a GI now at Ft. Rucker who is soon to be transfered to Drum. Is there a way that he can contact the group?

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.

Gordon - We R of the same mind. Our home is your home. Our hearts are your hearts. The POTUS and VPOTUS believe themselves to be above the law. They believe that they are all of the branches of government (judicial, legislative and executive) and not any of the above. How many times have Carlos and I been asked what I would say to the president if I had a chance. I respond that my energies do not lie in wanting to meet or focus energies on the president. My energies focus on "we the people" or in Spanish "el pueblo". Together we can. Together we will. Whether one is of the spiritual persuasion or not, that philosophy of we the people are able to unite and move mountains is a believe in the faith of humanity. We the people must unite to impeach, and, thereby, end these occupations. I bought a bumper sticker that sums it up for me "Start a Revolution. Practice your faith." Peaceful power to you Gordon....Mama Melida from Boston, Carlos' wife and Alex's and Brian's stepmama for peace...

I guess you don't know if the Veterans For Peace are active in you area? My concern is that many members disabled or not are being left out of the organization because of their location, financial or physical ability to go to meetings, events, ect. However, these same members would be active if they had alternative ways of participating.

I do not remember but I think there is. My short term memory is worse than my eye sight.

It sure does! My eye sight has taken a beating with all of the diseases I have.

Antiwar Radio

I Have the Answer

NPR (All Things Considered) is devoting an entire hour of programming today to the war in Afghanistan. The show was prefaced with a comment something like “We don’t have all the answers.” Well, I have the answer: Get out! Get out now before one more Afghan dies, before one more U.S. soldier dies, before one [...]

German DM Mentions the War… in Afghanistan

An outrageous thing has happened today in Germany: the Defense Minister has used the word “war” to describe the, uh, war in Afghanistan. As Justin Raimondo might say: Germans are shocked — shocked! You see, these people burdened by national collective memories of WWII thought they were sending peacekeepers to Afghanistan — sure, sure, armed [...]

Jesse James Calls for Ban on Robbing Trains

CNN headline: Karzai calls for unity, end to corruption in Afghanistan It is astounding to see the western media treat Karzai like a legitimate winner and someone who has any credibility to fight corruption. This is akin to how the Soviet media treated the election “victories” of Stalin’s puppets in East Europe. At least we now have [...]

America’s Next Top Nazi

If this isn’t the craziest thing you read today, then you must be scrubbing graffiti off the walls of a padded cell: While the sixth season of the fashion reality show “Project Runway” is fast-approaching its climax, it’s become a running joke in my house that the show’s host, German supermodel Heidi Klum, would have made [...]

Gays Don’t Have an Equal Right to Kill

My whole life it seems “gays in the military” has been an issue. Liberal democrats and gay activists have been arguing for years with right-wingers and the military establishment over the issues surrounding the right of homosexuals to fight in the armed forces — from troop morale to religious morality, everyone’s got a problem. Bill [...]

The former Pakistan president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, fueled at least two major debates during his 40-day lecture tour of the US from September 14. Former Bangladesh army chief Gen.

World's Citizens to Politicians: Get Serious on Global Warming Now!

Rethinking Afghanistan: Alternatives to War

President Obama is reviewing the way forward in Afghanistan. His decision will define his presidency much as Vietnam defined the legacy of President Johnson's presidency in the 1960s.

At a time when so much opportunity and necessity for change is at stake from health care reform to climate change legislation, education and nuclear weapons policy and the economy, the war and its costs will trump all.

House Passes Sweeping Health Care Reform Legislation

Saturday began with a morning pep talk from President Obama during a private meeting with Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill and a public appeal from the presidential podium in the Rose Garden shortly thereafter.

"Rise to this moment," said Obama, who has made health care reform his top domestic priority. "Answer the call of history...finish the job."

At around 11:15 p.m. EST, more than 12 hours after they began to debate the historic $1.1 trillion health care reform bill, Democrats had
