We Are the Global Imperialist Pigs Our Mothers Warned Us About

Why doesn't Bush want a timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq? Because he and his cronies have no intention of leaving.

Want to learn more about U.S. facilities in Iraq or reported U.S. casualties? Globalsecurity.org is pretty fascinating. Elsewhere on the site, find out about nuclear facilities in Iran and potential strategies for bombing them. Read about U.S. weapon systems. Or learn about the fine work being done by Halliburton.

If you haven't yet seen the movie Why We Fight, I can't recommend it enough. It discusses the plan for U.S. imperialism in the Middle East and the "military industrial complex" that President Eisenhower warned us about. I saw this film months ago, and I still think about it almost every day. It makes you realize just how little real news actually gets reported and how frighteningly much Bush and his henchmen are getting away with.

Thanks for the links, Jules. This stuff is eye-opening and terrifying. I have not seen Why We Fight -- I'll have to put that on my movies-to-watch list.

I recommend reading back through the archives of Jane Stillwater's blog. The "activist grandmother" had some interesting things to say about the time she spent in Iraq.
