POPSRisking Kids To Sell Fish In addition, as reported by National Public Radio, the effort to publicize the report was subsidized by a $60,000 grant from the National Fisheries Institute. Further, Bloomberg News reported that the institute is a client of public relations giant Burson-Marsteller, and one of the firm's employees serves as vice chairman of the coalition. Such facts suggest ethical lapses in financing the report; worse, material used in its preparation was flawed. The misleading report is a classic example of industry-driven marketing under the cloak of scientific research.

POPSBush to Democrats "We are at War"
Bush blames the democrats for poor veterans programs, due to their unwillingness to rubber stamp military spending. He talks about allowing the likes of Hitler, and "Lenin, and the consequences. The dictator is here, and the consequences are patently obvious, and immediate. The War is the Second American Civil War. The Aristocracy vs The People. Just look at the real defense of the U.S. homeland. There hasn't been a whit. Katrina, California, The National guard, the poverty that is consuming more, and more people who thought they had a secure lifestyle and income. The absolute assumption of power despite the will of the majority, the preparedness to act in a criminal manner. A) Because the laws that are enacted particularly absolve them, or B) Because there is confidence of enough reasonable doubt to avoid conviction, The absolute disregard for the constitution that endowed them with power, corrupt election practices, genocide, prejudice..... FALSE FLAG ATTACKS. The people are A

POPSWe Are All The Enemy "For every killed child, woman or man, for all the permanent destruction and looting, hundreds of thousands of new people join the resistance everywhere." "People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don't forget: they also strike back."

POPSMarine Lawyer Alleges Military Injustices Although we don't agree on every issue, Lt. Col. Colby Vokey sound as if he is a man of principal that I could respect. It's too bad he thinks the military justice system is so broken he must leave the Marine Corps.

POPSIraq: Cost in $$$ Too bad we could have used some of that money to actually combat terrorism instead of getting bogged down in the Neocon's nation-building quagmire in Iraq.

POPSIraq: Surge Working? Could it be that the numbers released by the Bush Administration and conservative commentators hide the truth about the success of the surge? And, what will happen if (when?) we attack Iran and it retaliates by hitting the two closest targets: Israel and our troops in Iraq?

POPSCrazy Cheney If we do attack Iran -- and it's increasingly looking as if we will -- our troops in Iraq will pay a heavy price.

POPSIraq’s Forgotten Refugees Is the US doing enough to help Iraqi refugees? The Bush Administration say “Yes” -- and we will soon be providing even more aid. Others say that Bush has been reluctant to aid – or even acknowledge – Iraqi refugees because doing so would be seen as a defeat, would bring home the fact that the situation in Iraq is so bad that millions of Iraqis have lost all hope in the future of their country and are abandoning it.

POPSWe Surge: Iraqis Dawdle As I understand it, the current primary mission for US troops in Iraq is holding the country together -- i.e. creating an environment that is safe enough for the Iraqis to form a viable government and to train enough troops and police to sustain that government. We're doing our part, but the Iraqi leadership seems to be making little, if any, progress toward establishing a sustainable government. A firm timetable for the withdrawal of American troops just might spur the Iraqi leadership into action, but announcing a withdrawal timetable is militarily insane. If the enemy knows when you're leaving, all they have to do is wait for you to go. How do we get out of this Catch-22 situation?
