The National Veterans For Peace Executive Director Michael McPhearson, in discussing the current horrendous suicide rates in the military pointed out that this was due to "the culmination of years of continuous deployments and general stress the Armed Services have been put under because of an invasion and subsequent occupation that should have never happened."

"4,252 American soldiers have needlessly died and hundreds of thousands have been inflicted with physical, or mental traumas," said Sam Feldman, the Miami Veterans For Peace President. “The Arlington Miami Memorial’s purpose is to remind the public that we are still a country at war. It hasn’t ended yet.”

Bush, Cheney, and appointees <b>lied about WMD,
by John H Kennedy Sunday, Mar. 22, 2009 at 3:02 PM

<b>There was no doubt that 9-11, like Pearl Harbor, needed to be avenged, but Bush had another agenda. </b>

Bush, Cheney, and appointees <b>lied about WMD, aluminum tubes, and Niger Uranium to con Congress</b> into approving an invasion of Iraq, a country that did not have anything to do with 9-11.

<b>In WW-II, in 4 years, FDR</b> put 13,000,000 men in the fight, beat 3 dictatorships, their leaders dead at the end. They Finished It!.

<b>After 7 years of War On Terror, neither Bush nor Cheney could find Osama Bin Laden,</b> our US reputation is in the gutter, we're still at war, over 4,200 US Soldiers are dead, over 30,000 maimed for the Bush-Cheney arrogance and lies. <b>They ordered Torture, a violation of Federal Law.</b>

<b>Unless Obama's statement that “no one is above the law” is a lie,

Obama must appoint a Special Prosecutor</b> for Bush, Cheney and the appointee lawyers that advocated Torture, violated many Federal Laws, our Constitution & the Geneva Convention on Torture.

<b>Sign The Petition To Prosecute them</b>
