Stop WW III with HR 333

It's clear by now- the warmongers are pushing ahead, and the peacemakers have a tough job to prevent WW III.

The strategy of the peacemakers in Congress, those who really want out of Iraq and no attack on Iran, is to expose Bush administration wrongdoings via oversight hearings and investigations. This is somewhat successful, gets media attention, distracts the Bushies and rattles them. But it's too slow.

Meanwhile, Congress funds Iraq and gives permission to attack Iran without even being asked. Bush fires the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Pace, who is on record as saying that the military opposes an attack on Iran. This removes a key block to WW III.

Cheney is reportedly the main force behind the push to nuke Iran. In the last Republican candidate debate, 8/9 candidates favored nuking Iran. It's become the Republican party line.
Time is of the essence. This madness needs to be stopped quickly.

There is a way.

HR 333 calls for the impeachment of Cheney, on the grounds that he lied us into Iraq, and is now doing his best to lie us into Iran. It's short and to the point.

Introduced in April 2007 by Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), the bill now has 7 cosponsors. Three signed on last week, including the cochairs of the Progressive Caucus, Lynn Woolsey and Barbara Lee, both Democrats from the Bay Area.

Call your Representative, of whatever party, and urge him to stop WW III by impeaching Cheney. The Capitol switchboard # is 202-224-3121. Tell your Rep to cosponsor HR 333.

If we flood the House with calls for Cheney's impeachment, they'll have to pay attention. Tell them that Cheney wants to start WW III. Even corrupt Representatives will see the wisdom in removing him from office ASAP.

Be hysterical. Life on planet earth may be at stake. Tell your friends and relatives to call. Send this to your elist.

Don't buy into the evil rapture cult. They're providing heretical, satanic theology to justify a nuclear armageddon. They're attempting to mislead us to destruction.

The true rapture is about bringing God's kingdom- of love, truth, justice, mercy, peace- to earth. It's not about going off with Jesus on a mushroom cloud. They tell us we'll be "left behind" to demoralize and paralyze us. It's demonic, the opposite of the love that Jesus teaches. Don't buy it.

Deut 30: 19"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants."

Call your Congressperson and tell them God wants us to choose life, and beg him/her to cosponsor HR 333, to impeach Cheney.

Once Cheney's gone, it'll be easier to impeach Bush and get some sanity back into government.

There Should Be A Mental Disorder Named Neoconism

Because, from what I can tell, Neoconservatism is an illness of the mind, heart, and spirit.

Colin Powell informed a European countrepart that the Neocons were called the "Effing crazies,' by simply everyone when he was Chief of Staff. Not a really good clinical term, but then, Powell was a soldier, not a clinician nor a priest, trained in exorcism.

Nevetheless, the term informs us or, atleast, it should.


'WSJ' Op-Ed: Bomb-bomb Iran
By E&P Staff

NEW YORK - It was sort of funny last month when Sen. John McCain, in a takeoff on the old Beach Boys tune, sang, "Bomb-bomb-bomb Bomb-bomb Iran" but some conservatives aren't laughing -- and no one else should, either, it is now apparent.

In a lengthy op-ed in the Wall Street Journal today, Norman Podhoretz, the neo-con legend (and father of columnist John Podhoretz) advocates just that, the sooner the better.

The op-ed is titled, "The Case for Bombing Iran" with the deck, "I hope and pray that President Bush will do it."

Here is the climax. *In short, the plain and brutal truth is that if Iran is to be prevented from developing a nuclear arsenal, there is no alternative to the actual use of military force--any more than there was an alternative to force if Hitler was to be stopped in 1938.Since a ground invasion of Iran must be ruled out for many different reasons, the job would have to be done, if it is to be done at all, by a campaign of air strikes. Furthermore, because Iran's nuclear facilities are dispersed, and because some of them are underground, many sorties and bunker-busting munitions would be required. And because such a campaign is beyond the capabilities of Israel, and the will, let alone the courage, of any of our other allies, it could be carried out only by the United States. Even then, we would probably be unable to get at all the underground facilities, which means that, if Iran were still intent on going nuclear, it would not have to start over again from scratch. But a bombing campaign would without question set back its nuclear program for years to come, and might even lead to the overthrow of the mullahs.

The opponents of bombing--not just the usual suspects but many both here and in Israel who have no illusions about the nature and intentions and potential capabilities of the Iranian regime--disagree that it might end in the overthrow of the mullocracy. On the contrary, they are certain that all Iranians, even the democratic dissidents, would be impelled to rally around the flag. And this is only one of the worst-case scenarios they envisage. To wit: Iran would retaliate by increasing the trouble it is already making for us in Iraq. It would attack Israel with missiles armed with nonnuclear warheads but possibly containing biological or chemical weapons. There would be a vast increase in the price of oil, with catastrophic consequences for every economy in the world, very much including our own. The worldwide outcry against the inevitable civilian casualties would make the anti-Americanism of today look like a lovefest.I readily admit that it would be foolish to discount any or all of these scenarios. Each of them is, alas, only too plausible. Nevertheless, there is a good response to them, and it is the one given by John McCain. The only thing worse than bombing Iran, McCain has declared, is allowing Iran to get the bomb.
