Anti-War

"So?"

So said Dick Cheney when asked last week about public opinion being overwhelming against the war in Iraq. "You can't be blown off course by polls."

His attitude about the the fact that the number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq has reached 4,000 displayed similar...

Last week, on the fifth anniversary of American military involvement in Iraq, anti-war rallies were held in various locations around the country. These rallies, inevitably, got short shrift in the mainstream media, which could barely rouse itself from its somnolence to recognize the anniversary. Today seemed like a good...

Happy Leap Day!

Because we are given an extra day this year, I would like to spend it in a good old fashioned Bush-bash. Maybe it's because everyone's focused on the election, or maybe the entire country just doesn't want to think about President Bush anymore, but I feel that...

Having completed a little tome about the gallons of blood guzzled by Democrats over numerous decades, I was stopped by an AP headline this morning that read, "Anti-war Democrats ponder next step."

Hmm. Must be about Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel anticipating more shit storms...

At first glance, the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 may not seem dangerous. Yet nothing is ever what it seems, and this bill is no exception.

On its face, the Act, which was approved in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 404...

Here's MoveOn's plan: After consulting with MoveOn members, we're about to launch an aggressive new campaign to bring our troops home as soon as possible.

More Americans than ever oppose the war. Yet all the major contenders for the Republican nomination support it, and Congress is unable or...

A foolish headline in today's Politico suggests that the anti-Iraq War movement is planning a retreat. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm the national director of one of the largest anti-war coalitions in the country, Win Without War, and I can tell you we're not retreating one...

From the very beginning the war in Iraq has been a complete military blunder. It started off with the blatant lies the Bush Administration sold to the American people as a necessity for war. The opinions of military commanders regarding the inevitable disastrous outcome were

I would like to start this blog by saying it has been my life's honor to serve with my fellow troops. I will never forget what I went through along side them in Iraq . In retrospect, anything I did "over there" was for them - I did it for...

This past Monday the Philadelphia Daily News ran an op-ed that I wrote expressing my frustrations with big money anti-war lobbying organizations. Particularly the groups that I worked side by side with. However, the piece that I wrote needs to be elaborated on further.

I have...

While recent polls reveal that 60 to 70 percent of Americans have soured on the war in Iraq, most of these people should not be mistakenly labeled "antiwar."

Many of those calling for the troops to come home could more properly be called "anti-this-war." "We never should have...

First, a happy Constitution Day to everyone! Since, as this Huffington Post article points out, this is a rather obscure and wonkish holiday, we begin with a quiz: What do the phrases: "falsely shouting fire in a theater" and "clear and present danger" have to do with each other?...

The long weekend is almost over, which means it's time to announce the winners of our anti-war slogan contest.

Once again, there was a flood of excellent entries, making it extremely difficult to pick winners out of the field.

As always, winners receive absolutely nothing, other than bragging rights....
