We learned yesterday that there is a 'secret surge' going on as we speak. It could put as many as 200,000 troops in the middle of Iraq's civil war by the end of the year—almost double the number we have in Iraq now.1
This is more proof that the president is intent on moving full speed ahead with his failed policy—and it's more proof that getting our troops home depends on Congress forcing accountability on him. This blank check compromis…

yes i understand about the people in NO. that's why I posted the one on new york. I am curiou about what is in the control center, knowing it talks about the water front. could it be a detonater center that is connected to explosives along the shore lines? I hope not.
SEND THIS TO YOUR REPS in Congress, as ammo to get them to Sign on to H. Res. 333 to Impeach Cheney!
*A Failure to Protect Our Troops NY TIMES June 14, 2007
The Bush administration and military leaders in Washington are always
claiming that they will do anything to support American troops fighting in
Iraq. That makes it all the more infuriating to learn that, for more than
two years, the Pentagon largely ignored urgent requests from field
commanders for better armor-protected vehicles that could have saved untold
lives and limbs.
Improvised explosive devices, or I.E.D.'s, can blast through the flat
underbelly of the military's standard Humvees, maiming and killing the
soldiers within. These devices, a low-tech response to America's
overwhelming military power, are now causing 70 percent to 80 percent of the
American combat deaths in Iraq.
More than two years ago, according to newly disclosed documents, Marine
commanders in Al Anbar Province, a center of the Sunni insurgency, submitted
an urgent request for more than 1,100 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected
Vehicles, or MRAPs, that have V-shaped bottoms able to deflect blasts from
below. For reasons yet to be satisfactorily explained, military officials
initially sat on the request and then ordered relatively few.
Some, second-guessing the judgment of the battlefield commanders, apparently
felt that Humvees with upgraded armor could do the job. Others may have been
reluctant to invest billions of dollars in vehicles that might have little
use after Iraq. Turf battles were probably also a factor, as a large-scale
purchase might threaten future weapons programs. But Iraq is the war that
Americans are fighting and dying in today.
Only now are Pentagon leaders, prodded by Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. and
other critics on Capitol Hill, rushing to ramp up production. Congress has
accelerated funding to buy more than 7,000 of the vehicles by early next
year, and the military services are seeking some 21,000 in all, at a cost
that could exceed $20 billion. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has declared
his determination to "produce as many of these vehicles and get them into
the field as fast as possible," though the precise number needed has yet to
be established.
Unfortunately, the MRAPs will remain vulnerable to the deadliest I.E.D.'s,
known as "explosively formed penetrators," which destroy vehicles from the
side. The military is looking for ways to add armor to the MRAPs and is
testing another new vehicle to counter that threat.
If the small companies that make these vehicles are not able to produce the
quantities needed quickly, President Bush and Secretary Gates ought to make
this a crash program and enlist major manufacturers.
There can be no excuse for failing to provide the best possible protection
for American troops in this disastrous war. Delete Comment
I want y'all to know it's possible. You may find your own ways to do it. Just don't give up. In the 4 DAYS since we met with Rep. Yvette Clarke in DC on Tues. June 5, SHE signed on, REP. WOOLSEY signed on, and REP. LEE signed on! Probably we can't take credit for the whole thing but every effort counts and adds up!
Here is the process that culminated in our Rep. making the call to cosponsor the bill to impeach Cheney:
1 - I went to DC to see my new Rep.Yvette Clarke, sworn in the first week of 2007. Had never met her, but I hung out in her office and met her supporters, staff, campaign advisors. Went into the celebration room in the Capitol where we saw her cermonial swearing-in. I introduced myself as a constituent interested in participatory democracy. Networked. Met her scheduler.
2 - Back home, I called her scheduler, trying to set up a meeting. In late Feb. the scheduler agreed, and asked if the Rep. could come to MY home. I set up a meeting with 35 people, including 3 Christian ministers I know (I work part-time in a church and have met some liberal clergy), a couple of people who have run for local office, a couple business owners and just neighborhood folks.
3 - With just 2 other activists in my neighborhood, we had multiple weekly lobbying contacts with her office focused on the Lee bill, all the Iraq Supplemental votes, and Impeachment, esp. after H. Res. 333 came up (in the form of emails and calls).
4 - Meanwhile we periodically emailed all who had attended the Feb. meeting, apprised of our contacts with her and encouraged them to lobby her during crucial vote times. Some did.
5 - One of the ministers we kept in the loop turned out to know the Congresswoman, and was also quite concerned about the Iraq moral crisis, the constitutional crisis, and the gathering of political power almost exclusively in the Unitary Executive branch. We spoke at some length, and we set up a meeting in Washington to meet with her and her Chief of Staff.
6 - We prepared a 45-page packet for Clarke including our agenda for the meeting, letters from 5 other clergy, urging her to take the lead on peace and accountability issues, plus extensive documentation on our issues; i.e., Supplementals, Oil Benchmarks, Unitary Executive powers, and H.Res. 333 for Impeaching Cheney. (Three of us local grassroots activists had researched and prepared this packet over several months.)
7 - During the course of the meeting, Rep. Clarke authorized her Chief of Staff to notify Kucinich's office that she wanted to cosponsor H. Res. 333. The phone call was made and it was done. She listened to us and she did it!
We have plans to continue our in-district netorking with other faith-based groups and keep building on this relationship with our Representative, continuing to advocate for peace and accountability and impeachment.
We also will talk and network with folks (from liberal groups, faith-based groups or wherever we find them) in nearby districts, recruit them to do their version what we've done with their Reps, and plan to go to Washington en masse to go visit each Brooklyn Rep's office in a round-robin set of meetings in one day, advocating for peace and impeachment!
Anyone from Brooklyn who is called to get in on this kind of advocacy, please contact us. Anyone from anywhere who wants to talk to us about having already done similar actions, or wants to ask us any questions or get encouragement, please get in touch with us! We are serious about this but also have some laughs, and it is satisfying to get some results once in awhile!

Happy Impeaching this summer!
all I can say about your page here is "Oooh, BEHAVE baby!"
I love it, it SWINGS! :-)
From a hippy who never grew old. I remember 'Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In' like it was yesterday.
