They're simply, and honestly, saying that the Mainstream Media is NOT telling the whole truth about Iraq. Not even close.

And for my money, I'll take the word of my friend the Army Chaplain over the words of Dan Rather any day.

That is probably what I would want to believe after risking my life and perhaps having to kill other humans. That it was honorable and just.

Still the zogby polls paint a much different picture about the enlisted support of the Iraq war.

When Halliburton is profiting off of your shit (literally) you have to question your mission.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
