Obama = Kennedy?




Although the time is very different, it is impossible not to notice certain parallels between the situation that America is experiencing today with Barak Obama, and that he was living in 1968 America with Robert Kennedy.

In both cases the land was worn by a war so costly as unjustified, which had lasted too long and cost too many lives to be fought by American soldiers. The Vietnam War, commissioned by Republican hawks with the open complicity of the Democratic Johnson, and that of Afghanistan and Iraq, wanted by the neocons with the silent complicity of Democrats like Hillary Clinton, John Kerry or Joe Liberman.

disadvantaged Party, Robert Kennedy won the nomination of the party because of its position clearly in favor of immediate withdrawal of troops, ...
... that prevailed over the more ambiguous favorite contestant and Hubert Humphrey. Disadvantaged party, Barak Obama won the nomination of the party because of its position clearly in favor of immediate withdrawal of troops that have prevailed over the much more ambiguous and the favored competitor Clinton.

Both Kennedy that Obama brought their political discourse to the masses of the poor, minorities segregated and forgotten all over America, with a platform far more liberal - or more "exciting" for the base Democratic, during the primaries, but more risky for president real - of their more moderate rival.
no coincidence that the 'endorsement' most significant received by Obama during the primaries came precisely from Ted Kennedy, younger brother of senator killed in Los Angeles, and unwavering tradition bearer liberal in Washington.

Of course, everyone is hoping that the parallels end up here, and that Obama comes alive and well for the presidency in November, as it failed to make Robert Kennedy.
But it is precisely here that the differences between the two start: much more cautious and diplomatic, Obama could certainly do some good - if elected to the White House - to remedy the disastrous situation inside America, but you will not see some spear into battle against the Mafia or the multinational steel, as did Robert Kennedy instead.

But those, as we said, were other times, they were times of idealism, ideology and the redefinition of values. Today is it finally time to put into practice, grain of salt, the ideals sown with great courage and devotion by Senator killed in Los Angeles forty years ago.

Muscle Spasm With Stroke

millions to save 700,000 U.S.


Presidential candidates Senators John McCain and Barack Obama met yesterday with President George Bush and other political highest level in the White House to discuss the bailout plan for banks to 700 billion dollars. The meeting ended without the expected agreement. An important group of deputies opposed the Republican package, which now seems little transparency.

Prior to the meeting at the White House, the Republican and Democratic congressional negotiators had reached a tentative agreement on changes to be introduced in the rescue plan. From these discussions at the Capitol one thing is clear: neither the government nor the opposition support the project which was conceived by the Bush administration. The four main points on which they
discussed the legislators were as follows:


split the package of 700 billion dollars in three parts.
First, the "Congress" authorizes the government to use 250 billion to bail out banks.
Then after an assessment of how the money was used, would be granted other 100 billion euro. Finally, after another inspection of how the money was spent and the benefit of concrete against the financial crisis, would provide the remaining EUR 350 billion.
The Congress gives the power to withhold payments if not satisfied with the execution of the program by the Bush administration. That is, may stop operating, rather than giving a blank check to the government.
On these points have been discussing the Treasury secretary, Henry Paulson, the chairman of the Federal Reserve (central bank), Ben Bernanke and members of Congress.

The opposition has also raised four additional points:
  1. A mechanism for monitoring the fate of the money.
  2. A roof in the payment of compensation for executives of the firms affected.
  3. assistance to owners of houses damaged by financial speculation.
  4. A detailed inspection of goods "purchased" by the government to maintain its value.
These points are rejected by those who drafted the bailout: Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, the chairman of the Federal Reserve (central bank), Ben Bernanke.

Why Do My Arches Burn When Wear Ice Skates






LONDON - The economic crisis, the strength of the government, the decree-laws, relations with the Democratic Party, crime, Alitalia, until the crisis between Russia and Georgia, with a defense of the work Putin. Berlusconi in Milan at the all-out gala dinner at the party of Freedom. The premier also announced a forthcoming bill: "I'd like dirty public places becomes a crime" and a possible event on wiretapping. Economic crisis. "Yesterday in Paris I proposed to do as in USA. Tremonti will propose to Ecofin the setting up of a common fund equal to 3% of GDP to say that governments are there and no one will lose a single euro," said President Council. "Yesterday, Merkel could not accept because he had no powers. Today, however, said he agrees. France will do the same tomorrow." Silvio Berlusconi said he was confident that Britain will follow this way: "We should remember that they have that Ireland has already guaranteed 100% of capital." So with great pride he added: "Once again we found ourselves to be the first. Now, knowing that we are not in a situation like that of '29, we should be optimistic because the banking system is healthy." So, to paraphrase Tremonti, concluded: "It is not finance but the work that creates wealth." Unicredit. "Today, Unicredit, the only bank to suffer these days, held a capital increase reassured that the whole system: Unicredit also no longer a concern, "said the premier hot Commenting on the capital increase launched by the banking group.
Opposition . The government can go it alone, without dealing with the opposition, "which is plunged in darkness social envy." attacks the Democratic Party and Berlusconi confirmed his views on the instrument of the decree read: "'l 'only way to govern. Ridiculous that it can lead to a dictatorship. "The survey." The opposition has now sunk from Communism to sfascismo, plunged into the darkness of envy and hate society. Now we will meet Government of the needs of relying only on our forces, "said the prime minister recalled the polls that give it a popularity equal to 68.1%. "To govern ourselves." "We are determined to rule by yourself and get on with implementing the program for the Italians. I wish there was a party to make the rules together - he continued - and instead has sunk into the darkness of envy in society. Today we face the needs of the country relying only on our forces. " Decrees. Then the issue of the decrees and the risk of authoritarianism: "There is a unique tool for quick decisions and act with the decree. There is no reason to think that this system can bring the country to a regime or a dictatorship, nothing more ridiculous. "The Italian prime minister does not have the same powers of his European colleagues - he continued - can not give orders, only has the power to create a team. If there were the possibility of using the decrees would remain only the bills and, before they become law, it can take 12 to 18 months. " "No risk dictatorship." According to Berlusconi, "someone wanted to suggest that use of this tool can lead to a regime or a dictatorship. Nothing is more ridiculous - the premier said - there is always the head of state must verify if there are requirements necessity and urgency. But these requirements are almost always, with all that we have inherited. Eighteen-twenty-four months to pass a law is a time not acceptable ". Parliamentary rules. Berlusconi has also boosted the appeal to the presidents of the chambers because it will change the parliamentary rules and cited the example of ddl Carfagna against prostitution." Today I phoned the Minister Carfagna to ask what had happened to the measure. She said that the bill has not yet been assigned to the Commission after more than a month after filing. It 'clear need to reform regulations and extend a strong invitation to the presidents of the chambers in this way so that our Parliament is a tool for effective governance of our country. "Tapping." If pass the law as it is output by the Council of Ministers will not have the certainty, as Italians, they are no longer heard. "Berlusconi said he was confident that" Parliament can return to the formula that I proposed to the ministers and against which the League fought. "" I think a text as I had conceived me - he explained - which excludes the investigation of crimes against public administration, at least for an initial period. On this issue - he concluded - I think of a great popular demonstration. "Alitalia." From now on, Italy will have its own airline in surplus, the first and main attraction to tourists visiting our country from emerging nations "Berlusconi said proudly, stressing that "the left mocked and made fun of those who spoke Italian consortium and industrial project." Crime. "I sent the military in Campania and someone shouted to the risk of a dictatorship. The real danger is that a civilized country like ours has to bear the mafia, the Camorra, organized crime," said the prime minister. "We have five years of work ahead to combat organized crime at all. I want to disappear from our country and do this with the authority of the state." Forbidden soil. "It is still possible that there are certain behaviors: I'd like dirty public places becomes a crime. The argument I will present a bill at the next council of ministers Friday in Naples, "said Berlusconi, who stressed that he was impressed by the cleanliness of public places during a visit to Tokyo." We must do away with the so-called graffiti because - he added - in some of our city does not seem to be in Europe but in Africa. "Georgia." Among women who were raped and their throats cut and serious acts of violence Putin found himself in a terrible situation. The Georgian president, taking advantage of the Olympics, had taken the absurd decision to carry out an attack unusual. The reaction of Putin's logic was going to Tbilisi against a president who is guilty of these grave acts of violence. "

Hani Hanjour: the stunning 11 pilot in September that struck the Pentagon


this man is Hani Hanjour , the lucky pilot on Sunday that the official version say is been able to do that maneuver so difficult even for professional pilots with thousands of flying hours.

This video show the last part of the maneuver of Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon:





How many possibilities there are that a pilot who has never boarded a Boeing can do this kind of maneuver? He piloted only the little Cessna airplane, he never piloted a jet, he never piloted a Boeing.

Look the video and you decide.

Picture of Boeing 757

That maneuver is "extremely difficult" for professional pilots with thousands of flying hours behind him and is in fact "impossible" for those who have never flown an airliner, and that was even hard to drive even a cessna , a small single engine.

How To Wash A North Face

Eyeletted

As usual, when you try to shake, a true, tough and especially against those who do think and reflect, once someone builds the barricades and shout: "Alarm! Achtung! Here they are! Look at them! They act as if tightening already in hand all the truth! Those rascals have come to this earth to take away our! Ingobili pirates. " It 'a blatant rigmarole that goes anvati a long time now and frankly that makes you smile. A whole network of information-based rules for childcare such as: "You have supported our game? You're a great friend! ", While half an hour after" no longer supports our game? You are our enemy! "In short, a delusion of this kind.

Not since yesterday I say that the tricks work in multiple layers and dimensions, and probably when I say I do not take sufficiently seriously. Let me be clear, is not an imposition, I ask all to be so (!), But it is a finding of another phenomenon that powers it was an illusion of life everyday, and how this trick works very least, quiet, and nest in guiding human thought and action without anyone's knowledge. So today I would like to analyze this behavior "automatic" rejection, which is inherent in everyone. Even in those, but particularly in those who call themselves "free" and "wake up" from "sleep" when in reality we find ourselves. Oh yes, because human beings are totally unable to get out of a box, and remain permanently out. Once you come out of a need to immediately enter into another, and another, in a sort of loop mechanical Gurdjieff almost a century ago was so clearly defined and clear: All humans

is entirely mechanical. If he lies, this means you can not help but lie. If telling the truth means you can not do but say the truth, and so for all.

I had no doubt that the article Teodorani widespread and which I fully agree with the analysis, but merciless agree entirely relevant, would have provoked a bit of "boiling excited" in my former colleagues. I know, have done so, is part of my character to look for better ways and short lead all'impopolarità (so one day they will say that I did it for money!). But I also know that all the unpopular ideas, in time, when times get mature allay their ancient seas and storms, those ideas are beginning to be tested and finally taken into account. All my "idols" or "masters", see N. Tesla, W. Reich, A. Puarich, R. Rife and many others, to which I have fully informed (the photos and paintings are hung Tesla almost everywhere in my house), have been unpopular and withdrawn to kick in the pants, but they left a big thing for us human: awareness of GENIUS OF INTUITIVE. How do you think then that I can be grown? With the aspiration to become unpopular course! There is something sublime nell'impopolarità visionary that is difficult to explain in words. We must live as a condition to understand it fully.

In recent years, despite a large brothel in the media, which in principle do not deny that he had left to spend a few small virus (but which I promptly eradicated immediately), I tried to maintain a stable vantage point: my. Nonpartisan, but only mine! And I could not do without in this way to see the bad habit of "big circus" conspiratorial, based mostly on the stand over here "or on" being there ", I am a" friend "you are a "enemy" and logorrheic bullshit like that. A place from which I have proudly pulled out. Was it my period of malaise, I thank them for having experienced it taught me a lot, has been trying failed to be engulfed by a bunch of strange characters, a lot of money, who wanted to buy the domain for my site for a large sum of money, as well as other websites have bought very well known for the enslave their will, that everything will be This is produced by the same hallucination hallucination hallucination that is the "reality", but I'm happy essermene pulled out, and have begun to explore the most noble and fertile land as the knowledge of myself! E 'was when I opened my eyes that I really understood the "ballet of the conspiracy in action" is a game that the slaughter will only have serious consequences in the future very close, and so far no one, and I repeat no one, had never raised the issue, agreed in part, to propose solutions to the evolution of our inner being that is powerful beyond measure. I have personal testimony to that power. I've seen it implemented on me, when I felt that my body was going to leave me, about three months ago. Why then? I mean, they are all so committed to seek the truth as they say, that they did not notice that there is no truth, because the one and only answer is dormant within us. WE ARE THE TRUTH 'LAST. There are not more to be discovered, because the external ones, are just a desperate attempt by the matrix defend itself, on many levels and dimensions.

But I understand very well that give this suggestion to people that this is because no one is really obligated to listen, and especially wind power to remove those who do want to continue to scream a scream that no one will listen. Ego and takes away power to those who have built their image of the hologram ego, which of course defend, even biting and thrashing, so is the threat they see in this type of reasoning. There is a very mechanical approach to this. They speak of unity, of cooperation, but no one really does. The collaboration takes the instant support their game, but it is enough cite an article in a site that they should not be a genius, "BEHOLD! THE deception! THE SOLD! "Ridiculous.

"We lost another friend," reads an email that I received yesterday afternoon, following the dissemination of the text of my Teodorani, written by a person that I've heard a couple of times a year. And 'this friendship?

There's a sense of "non-reality" friends. There are military operations, "secret" all over the world, which I need not mention such as they are on everyone's lips, which are performed with the approval of all governments, there is still someone who believes that bearing the signatures to the Prosecutor's Office, this will open an official investigation on those operations. But probably the past teaches nothing, some people still have trust in institutions, on the one hand we want to blacklist all as criminals and then lead us to the microchip, but on the other it is expected that they could open a case on these blessed military operations. There is absolutely no chance that this could happen, unless it first does not stop the source of this problem.

If you have weeds in your garden, would be good to tear away at the root of why they continued to grow, ruining the crop. What we are experiencing is a very similar problem. I would say that we, rather than a transaction of information, should be an operation of gardening: no more than a healthy pruning.

The Lord of the Flies

When I refer to the Lord of the Flies, some know very well who I'm talking about, but others may not, so it should be remembered. Leaving aside religious archetypes of any kind, it is certainly not an old movie by Robert Altman, but a "Strength / Mind" in this plane of existence and, some say, most likely within the operating range Plank . Accustomed as we are at archetipizzare also amburger McDonald, now it is believed that the Archons have the reins, but it is not. They are also used by this force, as are the entities that we call alien, such as the so-called "gray", true Tulpa have come to life in self-propelled bodies of plants. The truth has always been there, easily accessible, and if we had not been distracted by all this brothel, we would have easily seen. But I will speak more specifically of this Force, which will organize into a podcast very soon.

If this seems absurd to most of all conspiracy theories that are on the scene, it's only because of the fact that it was still inhabited in dualistic thinking. I'm beautiful, you ugly. I'm cool, you loser. I friend, you enemy and so on ... To be able to see very clearly the situation, we must not take sides. Let me explain. If investigating a problem, put me on the side of the skeptic in advance, takes a grave mistake because to listen to my skeptical sense, do not proceed even with the start of the investigation, and fragments of information and lose valuable data. Whereas if I believed in everything I see and hear, has taken another serious act of interference in the signal stream generated by my intuition. The best position to investigate, is neutral. A third point of view and observation of separate and distinct from first two, at all levels. A central location where they are not involved in the four planes of existence: the material, mental, emotional and one of Will (Fire, Water, Air, Land). Active short, but not concerned. Then ensure that you become "very dangerous", because then you are not manipulated by anyone, and especially by the force that I call The Lord of the Flies (ESPECIALLY FROM HIM!). And 'this is what Jesus meant when he said beware of Lord of the Flies, by princes of the air. He said "If your eye is ONE, then your body will be light." If your point of view, and observation remains firm and seconded by dual deployment, and therefore do not take arbitrary positions, then your intuition will immediately understand how things really are, and this way you will be light, or Bearer of Light (truth). So, you want the "truth"? Not to take sides! Notes and nothing else.

why I chose the esoteric path, because it is a serious work on myself, but played ALWAYS CLOSE TO CHRIST! And to think that they are not at all religious, and not at all a fan of Vatican City, but the words of that man, I have been able to test on my life and I'm really gold from which no one should ever leave, as they are powerful. I am not in agreement Who defines an imaginary myth. The word of a man resists a day. It has endured, despite everything, for 2000 years.

I am not an enemy of anyone, and respect all those who really make an effort to evolve. The others, I am sorry for them, but I am sure that soon will include. So do not read the text with eye Teodorani deployed, but with a critical eye (A). Then you will understand the real message, and you will stop seeing enemies everywhere. The real "enemy" dwells within us! It 'was written with only the love of a man who cares about our destiny and wants to tell us what he understood by many of his studies and experiences. While those who attacked him is only deployed. If you can do one of your eye, then "see".
"Blessed is he who has a soul, blessed is he who has no soul,

I,ladies Tailor,bangalore

Did you know that ... Why we're

Over the last million years we have gone from the use of ' human energy to mechanical and elastic, through the animal, the wood, to reach the coal. The coal was started at the 700 and ended in the early '60s, with the advent of the Age of Oil. And now?
I got hold of the energy projections for the next 150 years.

The use of oil will be declining, falling from 38% in 2010 to 30% in 2050. Nuclear power will not come a long way: from the 5 / 6% might increase to 7%. Renewable energy like solar, biomass, wind, geothermal .. Well, do not be deceived: 8% now will earn about 12%, mind you, still represents an increase of more than 200% satisfied in terms of global consumption, which in the meantime will be increased from 11 billion tonnes of oil equivalent today - a nearly 20-TEP.
But there is one source, one of which we still have reserves for at least 200 years, and that between the 30s and 40s will prevail over all others. I'm talking about the Age of Natural Gas. And where did most of the natural gas consumed in Europe? But Russia, of course! Unless ... not build pipelines that pass outside of Soviet territory. Let's say, from parts of Georgia?

And then we talk about Georgia! In Italy comes only a part of history. There's pictures of the dead caused by Russia, sometimes patently false as those of Reuters, but no 1600 speaks of fallen dead under fire in Georgia. Moreover, at least three quarters of the refugees registered by the Red Cross are Ossetians, not Georgians! Still do not see them often on TV, right? Why? Maybe it's better to step back.

Last year, the President of Georgia has ordered a number of Israeli companies specializing in security about a thousand military advisers to train the Georgian armed forces in combat tactics. Israel also arrive in Tbilisi military and security intelligence solutions. So behind the Georgian attack on Ossetia moves to Israeli intelligence. Moscow has repeatedly demanded that Jerusalem to stop military assistance to Georgia, which has put a strain on diplomatic relations between Russia and Israel. But what Israel may have interests in those parts?

From the second part of the Caspian Sea to world's longest oil pipeline, called BTC - Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. In May 2005, Baku began pumping oil, after a journey of more than one year, 1768 km long, began to flow at a port in the southeast Mediterranean coast of Turkey. From there to Haifa, the black gold is separated by a short stretch of water. After that, earlier, Putin had refused to bring gas in Israeli ports, the independence of Georgia is a fundamental key to the survival safety of the pipeline, which completely bypasses the Russian territory.
Moreover, Russia needs to maintain control over the Black Sea, to continue to exercise the role of monopoly in natural gas to Europe, Ukraine, free from the inconvenient, and thus become the new OPEC of the century to come.

And Italy? Well: while Europe is funding Nabucco, a 3,400 km long pipe, which from 2010 will carry natural gas from the Caspian Sea from the continent, to skip Russia and Ukraine in order to free itself from the monopoly that the Soviet 's Italy goes against. On 18 January 2008, Gazprom and ENI, his Russian counterpart, recorded in Switzerland, the joint venture to build South Stream gas pipeline of the same name that will bring natural gas from Russia directly in Italy. This will strengthen the Soviet leadership in the energy sector even as the rest of the world is trying to undermine it.

wonder: is this who spoke to Putin and Berlusconi Villa Certosa?

How To Congratulate Someone With A New Home

Against the War / why the military who were in Iraq are against the war in Iraq

Question: Why are veterans, active duty, and National Guard men and women opposed to the war in Iraq?

Answer : Here are 10 Reasons We oppose this war:

1) The Iraq war is based on lies and deception. 
The Bush Administration planned for an attack against Iraq before September 11th, 2001. They used the false pretense of an imminent nuclear, chemical and biological weapons threat to deceive Congress into rationalizing this unnecessary conflict. They hide our casualties of war by banning the filming of our fallen's caskets when they arrive home, and when they refuse to allow the media into Walter Reed Hospital and other Veterans Administration facilities which are overflowing with maimed and traumatized veterans.
For further reading:  www.motherjones.com/bush_war_timeline/index.html

2) The Iraq war violates international law. 
The United States assaulted and occupied Iraq without the consent of the UN Security Council. In doing so they violated the same body of laws they accused Iraq of breaching.

http://www.westpointgradsagainstthewar.org/

3) Corporate profiteering is driving the war in Iraq. 
From privately contracted soldiers and linguists to no-bid reconstruction contracts and multinational oil negotiations, those who benefit the most in this conflict are those who suffer the least. The United States has chosen a path that directly contradicts President Eisenhower's farewell warning regarding the military industrial complex. As long as those in power are not held accountable, they will continue...

http://www.publicintegrity.org/wow/

4) Overwhelming civilian casualties are a daily occurrence in Iraq.  
Despite attempts in training and technological sophistication, large-scale civilian death is both a direct and indirect result of United States aggression in Iraq. Even the most conservative estimates of Iraqi civilian deaths number over 100,000. Currently over 100 civilians die every day in Baghdad alone.For further reading:

5) Soldiers have the right to refuse illegal war. 
All in service to this country swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. However, they are prosecuted if they object to serve in a war they see as illegal under our Constitution. As such, our brothers and sisters are paying the price for political incompetence, forced to fight in a war instead of having been sufficiently trained to carry out the task of nation-building.

http://girightshotline.org

6) Service members are facing serious health consequences due to our Government's negligence.  
Many of our troops have already been deployed to Iraq for two, three, and even four tours of duty averaging eleven months each. Combat stress, exhaustion, and bearing witness to the horrors of war contribute to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a serious set of symptoms that can lead to depression, illness, violent behavior, and even suicide. Additionally, depleted uranium, Lariam, insufficient body armor and infectious diseases are just a few of the health risks which accompany an immorally planned and incompetently executed war. Finally, upon a soldier's release, the Veterans Administration is far too under-funded to fully deal with the magnitude of veterans in need.

7) The war in Iraq is tearing our families apart. 
The use of stop-loss on active duty troops and the unnecessarily lengthy and repeat active tours by Guard and Reserve troops place enough strain on our military families, even without being forced to sacrifice their loved ones for this ongoing political experiment in the Middle East.
For further reading: http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,FL_loss_092704,00.html

8) The Iraq war is robbing us of funding sorely needed here at home.
$5.8 billion per month is spent on a war which could have aided the victims of Hurricane Katrina, gone to impoverished schools, the construction of hospitals and health care systems, tax cut initiatives, and a host of domestic programs that have all been gutted in the wake of the war in Iraq. 
For further reading:

9) The war dehumanizes Iraqis and denies them their right to self-determination.
Iraqis are subjected to humiliating and violent checkpoints, searches and home raids on a daily basis. The current Iraqi government is in place solely because of the U.S. military occupation. The Iraqi government doesn’t have the popular support of the Iraqi people, nor does it have power or authority. For many Iraqis the current government is seen as a puppet regime for the U.S. occupation. It is undemocratic and in violation of Iraq’s own right to self-governance.

10) Our military is being exhausted by repeated deployments, involuntary extensions, and activations of the Reserve and National Guard.
The majority of troops in Iraq right now are there for at least their second tour. Deployments to Iraq are becoming longer and many of our service members are facing involuntary extensions and recalls to active duty. Longstanding policies to limit the duration and frequency of deployments for our part-time National Guard troops are now being overturned to allow for repeated, back-to-back tours in Iraq. These repeated, extended combat tours are taking a huge toll on our troops, their families, and their communities.

Question : Why do Iraq Veterans Against the War call for the immediate withdrawal from Iraq?

Answer: There are several reasons why immediate withdrawal is the critical first step toward solving the problems in Iraq.

A) The reasons and rationale given for the invasion were fraudulent. 
There were no Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq during the time of the invasion according to US officials and former chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix. The idea that Al Qeada and the 9/11 terrorist attacks were connected to Saddam Hussein and the Baath party were proven false in the 9/11 Commission Report. Members of the Bush Administration have admitted that they “misspoke” in the run up to the war. 

B) The presence of the US military is not preventing sectarian violence.
The US occupation of Iraq has proven to be unable to prevent sectarian violence and halt an escalation towards a civil war. Despite having an average of 140,000 troops in country since the occupation began, internal violence and attacks against civilians and Iraqi security forces have been on a steady incline.

C) The occupation is a primary motivation for the insurgency and global religious extremism.
The insurgency can be broken down into many individually named factions with various goals, beliefs, and techniques. However, our membership of veterans believe that the occupation of Iraq is the primary thing encouraging the insurgency and giving it legitimacy in the eyes of many Iraqis. Likewise, other people of the Islamic faith are encouraged to resist America ’s policies internationally based on how they perceive our military operations in the Middle East.

D) We can no longer afford to fight this war of choice.
The financial burden is destroying our domestic programs that could be used to protect us from natural disasters, provide medical programs, or help improve education. We are jeopardizing the US economy and putting strains on the budgets of important government agencies like the Veterans Affairs Department. 

F) National security is compromised.

Funds that could be used to protect our ports and transportation are being stripped away while our National Guard units are on constant deployments instead of being used to protect and defend us here at home. 

G) The world is becoming more dangerous.
International terrorist attacks have increased and it has become more dangerous for Americans to travel abroad. Approval for US policy has decreased and the dislike of Americans has increased.
Our national “moral authority” is being undermined.
The US has lost credibility to much of the world as the defender of liberty and freedom and our national identity is eroding. We can no longer deploy our armed forces for peace keeping measures with the good faith of the international community. We need to regain the respect and faith of the global community. This begins by withdrawing our troops from Iraq and helping the Iraqi people rebuild their country and society.

H) The majority of American citizens, Iraqi citizens and US military would like to see an immediate end to the war in Iraq. 
If we are truly a democracy and we aim to create a democracy in Iraq our leaders will represent the will of the citizens and lead according to their wishes. 

I) The military is broken.
We are abusing the small population of armed service members with multiple deployments while using inadequate vehicles and equipment. Less than one half of a percent of the American population is serving in the active armed forces, which is the least amount in the last century. Only 25% of the troops in Iraq are there for their first tour, while 50% are there on their second tour, and the remaining 25% are there three times or more. We continue to involuntarily extend soldiers with Stop-Loss, recall them repeatedly for additional service using the Individual Ready Reserve, and send soldiers with diagnosed medical problems into combat.
