As those of us who were worried about the Resident's headlong rush to war predicted, resistance in Iraq to US occupation is growing daily, and US and Iraqi casualties are on the rise, with no exit strategy in sight. Now the government is saying the troops may have to remain there for a year, and the cost to US taxpayers, according to Rumsfeld, has doubled from the previous estimate of $2 billion per month.

And one by one, the Resident's stated reasons for going to war are being exposed as the lies we knew them for all along:

1. There is no link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda/9-11.

2. There are no weapons of mass destruction (other than ours).

3. Hussein did not attempt to buy uranium in Niger. (Bush knew this before he made the claim in his State-of-the-Union address.)

4. The Iraqi people do not see our soldiers as their liberators.

MoveOn.org is asking Congress to begin an investigation into the deliberate deception of the American people by the Resident and his henchmen. You can add your voice to this groundswell by clicking on this link.

Let's continue to express out patriotic dissent and work to hold the administration accountable for their unforgivable war crimes.

Remember: If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

Cheers,
Michael
