Psst!-2. COMBAT FOOTAGE FROM AFGHANISTAN: .50 CAL AND AT4

We know only too well the mainstream press in the United States has taken a powder when it comes to covering the wars in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN.

However, we refuse to do so because there are a combined almost 200,000 YOUNG AMERICANS deployed to both war zones and the most unpatriotic thing anyone could do is to ignore their heroism.

VA REFUSES TO ALLOW WOUNDED VETS TO REGISTER TO VOTE

The Bush/McCain administration obviously knows MOST veterans will vote for Obama/Biden and that is why they are telling the VA to make it impossible for wounded vets to register to vote.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) refuses to allow non-partisan voter registration at VA hospitals and nursing homes for our wounded, injured, ill, and disabled veterans. VCS believes VA is wrong, and the policy must change immediately. Pick up the phone today and urge your Senators and Representative to pass S 3308 and HR 6625, the "Veteran Voting Support Act," and restore our veterans' voting rights.

BUSH AND MEDIA LIE ABOUT SECURITY IN IRAQ AND STATUS OF PULLOUT OF U.S. TROOPS

The Bush administration and the mainstream media in the United States continue to LIE to the American public about how "the surge" has calmed violence in Iraq, as well as the status of the talks between the U.S. and the Iraqi government on U.S. troop withdrawals from Iraq by 2011.

HERE IS THE REAL TRUTH AND NOT BUSH, FOX NEWS AND MAINTREAM MEDIA BS.

DOUBLE BOMBING ROCKS BAGHDAD SUNDAY

There has been a double bombing in Baghdad that has left nearly two dozen dead or wounded and the otherwise quiet city of Baquba has also seen the silence shattered with bombings.

Sen. John McCain keeps telling the American public that "we have won the war in Iraq" and nothing could be further from the truth.

Of course, McCain has his propaganda mouthpiece FOX NEWS spreading the same garbage to their viewers in their never-ending attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans.

BAGHDAD - A double bombing in Baghdad and a shootout in the restive city of Baquba claimed the lives of at least five people and wounded 19 others on Sunday, security sources said.

Up to three people were killed and eight wounded, including five policemen, when a bomb targeting a patrol exploded on a through-road leading to Iraq's interior ministry, security sources at the ministry said.

As police ran to help a second bomb went off, wounding another five officers, they said.
Meanwhile, in Baquba, two policeman were killed and six others including a woman were wounded in a shootout, the defence ministry said.

Earlier this month Iraqi forces backed by US troops launched a massive assault against insurgents in Diyala, one of Iraq's most dangerous areas where fighters regularly carry out attacks.
