Saturday December 29, 2007 Saturday December 22, 2007 The so called Iraq coalition has collapsed since England, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Poland and several others have withdrawn their troops or are planning to shortly. James Heth - The Coalition Saturday December 15, 2007 Last year the fiscally conservative republicans defeated an immigration reform act and replaced it with," The Secure Fence Act”, which provides 1.2 billion dollars to start to build a fence... James Heth - Republican Fence Saturday December 8, 2007 Now that sixteen of our top intelligence agencies have emphatically stated that Iran canceled its atomic bomb program back in 2003... James Heth - Iran Invasion Saturday December 1, 2007 While one cannot help but believe the sending of millions of dollars in aid to belabored Bangladesh, a country recovering from a vicious storm that has left thousands homeless... James Heth - Charity Saturday November 24, 2007 Everybody knows the one and a half trillion dollar Iraq war has been an unequaled disaster in every respect, but how many now realize that we already have spent over ten billion dollars supporting a vicious dictator in Pakistan? James Heth - Congress Saturday November 17, 2007 The stupidity of our invasion of Iraq became even more apparent with the crisis now about Turkey. James Heth - Turkey Saturday November 10, 2007 The Republican party relies upon fear as a means of gaining office and maintaining control of the White House. James Heth - Fear Saturday October 6, 2007 Most of the problems and tensions now occurring in the Mid-East are as a direct result of our absurd policy i.e., that we and only a few of our friends should be allowed to have atomic energy. James Heth - Mid-East Policy Saturday September 29, 2007 When the head of state from another country visits the United States he or she should receive a little respect. This is to be expected of a superpower. James Heth - The Visitor Saturday September 22, 2007 Since the Bush administration will undoubtedly be remembered as if not the single most incompetent, but certainly one of the most incompetent administrations in history James Heth - Rove's Memories Saturday September 15, 2007 Those in Congress who criticize General Petraeus are demonstrating a severe lack of understanding of the military. One does not rise to the level of a four star general by questioning the policies of those in the ranks above. James Heth - General Petraeus’s Report Saturday September 8, 2007 For many years and long before America became involved, the people of Iraq have been fighting each other to determine who will rule. James Heth - The Right Thing Saturday September 1, 2007 When the pilot looks around and sees one engine on fire and his right wing about to fall off, if he has any salt at all, he thinks of his crew. He then holds the plane level as best he can and orders his crew to bailout. James Heth - The Bailout Saturday August 25, 2007 The Bush administration has committed many mistakes but perhaps the most egregious one is the refusal to join the other industrial nations in creating policies to reduce the greenhouse effect. James Heth - Another Big Mistake Saturday August 18, 2007 There is much speculation regarding the resignation of Karl Rove. Many believe that he resigned in order to avoid having to testify before congress,... James Heth - Karl Rove Saturday August 11, 2007 Once upon a time way out in the desert there was a tiny little country with houses, stores, water systems, olive groves, palm trees, electric power plants, schools, universities and a number of other amenities usually found in a nominally civilized country. James Heth - A Desert Tragedy Saturday August 4, 2007 Well over a year ago the United States Supreme Court ruled that the USA must adhere to the rules set forth in the Geneva Conference regarding the treatment of prisoners held by the CIA in various prisons around the world. James Heth - Enhanced Interrogation Techniques Saturday July 28, 2007 On March 10th, then, Attorney General John Ashcroft, lying near death while recovering from major surgery in an intensive care ward, received two visitors. One was Alberto Gonzales, White House Consul, the other Andrew Card, Chief of Staff. James Heth - Why not Lie? Saturday July 21, 2007 Over three thousand young American men and women in the prime of life so far have been killed in Iraq and many thousands more have been severely wounded. Additionally, well over 600,000 Iraqis have been killed and each and every day these killings continue. Almost all the Benchmarks set by congress have failed miserably. James Heth - Vacation Time? Saturday July 14, 2007 While we all celebrated by stuffing ourselves with barbequed chicken, potato salad and corn on the cob just a few days ago one cannot help but wonder, just how many of us really appreciate the miracle that happened back in 1776. James Heth - Miracle In 1776 Saturday July 7, 2007 This latest example of arrogance by a president who actually believes that he is far above the law is simply further evidence our enemy’s overseas use to claim that the USA is a lawless, reckless bully, threatening world peace and in fact the real terrorist on the planet. James Heth - Arrogance Saturday June 23, 2007 Seymour Hersh, perhaps about the best investigative reporter alive has just turned his considerable talent into investigating our treatment of the detainees we are holding in Europe and in the Mideast. James Heth - Torture Saturday June 16, 2007 The sordid Libby affair is an example of the core problem within the administration. This thoughtless devotion to some strange obtuse conservative belief has been the cause of almost all of the deficiencies of the Bush administration. James Heth - The Libby Affair Saturday June 9, 2007 The Bush administration has done many things that scrape way down near the bottom of the barrel, but perhaps the lowest was reached on the night of March 10 when John Ashcroft was the Attorney General and was lying in intensive care near death recovering from an emergency gallbladder operation. James Heth - How Low Is Low? Saturday June 2, 2007 There is in Mariposa a very successful political group who have embraced the concept of a rural environment and have organized and lobby to preserve and protect it against any and all development they see as possibly having even the remotest potential to threaten our rural lifestyle. James Heth - Economic Development Saturday May 26, 2007 Another war? On May 22, 2007 President Bush directed the CIA to begin “covert” operations against Iran. At the same time Vice President Cheney stated that military intervention was still an option. James Heth - Another War? Saturday April 28, 2007 The NRA, AKA, National Republican Association thinking is somewhat difficult to comprehend for. On the one hand they believe any kind of a gun control law is a viable threat to the constitution and yet remain strangely silent about the Military Commission Act, which denies the right of Habeas Corpus which is the keystone of our system of justice. James Heth - The NRA Saturday April 21, 2007 Why? All across the land, in coffee shops, by water fountains, on commuter trains and busses and in many neighborhood bars and barber shops people are asking___why? James Heth - Why? Saturday April 14, 2007 Already it is beginning to happen. The Iraqis people are starting to believe that we should get out of their country and leave them alone. The People Of Iraq Saturday April 7, 2007 The USA has never faced a problem as great as the one facing congress today. The President, Congress And Iraq Saturday March 31, 2007 With great bursts of hoorays and hoorahs the Democrats belatedly finally and at last have come up with a plan to end the war in Iraq. Enough Is Enough Saturday March 24, 2007 It is very hard for any so called Christian to imagine condoning torture as a valid weapon in any war, but somehow, with twisted, strange and weird kinds of thinking, as a nation we have done just that. Iraq Sunday March 11, 2007 An amazing example of hypocrisy happened way back in 1776 when a group of distinguished gentlemen slave owners gathered together and created the constitution and “The Bill Of Rights”; declaring among other things, that “All men are created equal.”. Women were excluded from the voting process. Bill of Rights Sunday March 4, 2007 Every American should take the time to read section 215 of the so-called, "Patriot Act". The Patriot Act Sunday February 11, 2007 An editorial writer needs to be well informed. I read several news magazines cover to cover, newspapers on line and watch several different news programs on television. Peace Of Mind Sunday February 4, 2007 The Bush Administration's controversial, "Extraordinary Rendition" policy was handed a major setback recently when a German Court issued arrest warrants for the13 CIA operatives who comprised the so-called "abduction team" that in Macedonia in 2003 abducted, Khaled el-Masri, a German citizen, and whisked him off to Afghanistan. Our Policy of "Extraordinary Rendition" Suffers Setback Sunday January 27, 2007 The "noble cause" the administration uses to describe our war with Iraq comes under question when one discovers that even before one shot was fired billions of dollars of construction contracts were given to Halliburton. Get Out Or Get Out Sunday January 21, 2007 When Nixon lied and nobody died many cried, "impeachment". When Clinton lied about his very own personal sex life and nobody died, |
