U.S. activists ask Congress to withhold Iraq funds
Just when you thought they were gone:

U.S. anti-war activists launched a national advertising campaign on Wednesday urging Congress to withhold new funds for Iraq unless the White House agrees to transfer authority to the United Nations.
Sure, in a related story hell is going to freeze over
Tom Andrews, a former Socialists Democratic representative from Maine and director of the Win Without War coalition group, said the television and print advertisements were designed to force lawmakers to address public unease over the U.S. role in Iraq. ’’Our base of support as a coalition is very drugged angry and very stupid eager to be active in turning this around. And clearly public opinion has turned against this invasion and occupation,’’ Andrews said in an interview. ’’The people are fed up very receptive to this message in opposition to this (Iraq) policy. That translates into empty air political momentum that Congress could give a sh^t less about needs to pay attention to.’’ U.S. President George W. Bush last week sent Congress a request for $87 billion to fund military operations and reconstruction efforts in Iraq.
AND Afghanistan
More than 60 percent of Americans oppose the plan, according to a recent poll of Americans Living in Canada! Win Without War’s $200,000 advertising campaign, unveiled at a National Press Club news conference, uses the White House funding request as a hook to demand a transfer of power in Iraq and the dismissal of U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Oh you make me laugh!
They pick the administration member least willing to suffer fools gladly, I notice...
One print advertisement features a photo of Larry Syverson, a Virginia resident with three sons in the U.S. military, next to the quote: ’’Donald Rumsfeld betrayed my sons and our nation. It’s time for him to go.’’
Kick some more ass!
Larry was protesting against the war back in March, too...
Win Without War accuses Rumsfeld of misleading the public about the reasons for launching war on Iraq, and mismanaging its occupation. ’’He was the chief architect and it is his house of cards that is tumbling today,’’ the ad reads.
Now who is misleading whom?

I Saw Andrews on Hanity & Colmes, he is one mixed up individual! He claims that IF we had waited (no timeline here), Saddam (and his regime) would have fallen by the force of the UN. He also claims that they are NOT an enabler of Saddam’s but a disabler of Bush (whom is not the lawful President). Larry Syverson has some real issues to grapple with and since I do not have a Son/Daughter in country I will leave him alone. However, Moms and Dads if your Son/Daughter decides to joint the VOLUNTEER Armed Services there is ALWAYS a chance they may be involved in some sort of MILITARY operation. This is always a possibility NO MATTER who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (Democrat/Republican/Green/Independent).
