President: Where is that darn dog? I need his analysis of the intelligence we've gathered! Vice-President: I'm not sure you should trust the fate of the free world to a 12-pound dog!

In addition, a mortar hit the Iraqi Oil Ministry complex in Baghdad, although a senior oil ministry official said there were no casualties." (05/12/05) Something like this leads the news every single day. How many more of our sons, daughters, husbands and wives must die before the people of this country begin to understand what is really going on here? How many must die before we take back responsibility and control of our government to stop the murder and destruction all over the world? Do we really want to wait until our country is dead broke and destroyed around us as well? (Read the rest here)
