POPSObama: "We Are at War" Gee, what gave it away? Didn't your Predecessor and his Administration TELL you that?? I guess Obama's PR people have finally made an impression on him....or he's looking at reality and the polls.

POPSWar & Hollywood: Then & Now I am mystified by the anti-Americanism of the Hollywood/film industry. I have NO comprehension for it. But voila! I can't believe I came upon an article which is also confused.

POPSAnti-war Soros funded Iraq study People are free to *fund* whoever and whatever they want, but not matter who...the results are almost always a product of the view of the *funder*. To give any credibility to any "study", the $$$ behind it should be disclosed.

POPSAn inconvenient truth Wow, this from Australia! A clear-thinking analysis of the politics of the war: "...the only thing that matters is delivering a defeat to the Bush Administration".

POPSPeace activist Sheehan arrested at Congress Mrs. Sheehan has been used by the anti-war movement, the Liberals and the foes of the Administration. Sadly, I believe, she views herself more influential that she actually is and the media exploits her for their news fodder. I would never criticize a woman who has lost her son in war for being outspoken against it; we all hate war. Other than having name recognition now and being in favor of withdrawal from Iraq, what qualifies her for a place in Congress as a representative? I am no fan of Mrs. Pelosi, but Sheehan appears to have visions of grandeur and an exalted opinion of her self-importance. Someone needs to help her find another avenue to fight war and it's effects...other than being used as a pawn.

POPSDemocrats Won't Force War Vote The measures are "too weak". Yes! The Liberals and the anti-war advocates *know* that withdrawing our military and undermining the efforts in Iraq will spell d-i-a-s-t-e-r for all involved. Commit wholeheartedly, win and then come home.

POPSIraqis warn of civil war if US troops withdraw Are there other US citizens, out there, who realize that setting a time-table for, or even suggesting a withdrawal, would be horribly detrimental to *peace* for ourselves and even the Middle East? In a following conflict (which there most definitely will be) would anyone believe in us/US? Where would our credibility be? Our military personnel can make a difference for the good; but our politicians, both past and present, make whatever gains we could make null and void. This entire way of thinking undermines our National integrity, our military and it's commitment and sacrifice; the very standards of the United States. Does anyone believe that leaving Iraq, NOW, would benefit the United States and the rest of the World?! The Congress committed. So they think, now, it was a deceptive *commitment*...NOT! They Knew! So.... how do you believe leaving, at this point, would be beneficial? Explain. I do not see it.

POPSWhy We Went to War in Iraq I had become addicted to politics during the Clinton years, but it was during the 2000 election (like most every American) that I began to be tuned in like never before. I remember the President's speech before the UN and this is how I remember the events. It *was* about weapons inspectors/inspections, the ignoring of the UN's resolutions, and regime change. I believed the President was attempting to put some teeth back into the operation of the UN with the commitment to see that it's resolutions, by anyone, were no longer disregarded. Alas, it was much more corrupted than most of us thought and seems beyond redemption. It needs to go the way of the League of Nations.
