A few weeks ago, I posted a news clip from two days before the invasion of Iraq (March 17, 2003) where the stockmarket skyrocketed on the news that war might be avoided. The economy has been anemic ever since. Yesterday (Thursday), on the news that Congress would be voting to start withdrawing troops from Iraq in 120 days, the DOW soared again, coincidentally (?) by almost the exact number of points.

1. Peace Now!

And nationalize all energy producers/suppliers.

2. Innit sooo lucky for the oil co's with help of corporate SCOTUS who put Hr. * in power

that we have been at war for virtually all the years he has been in that usurpers position. Whoda thunkit.

3. Is Congress watching?

I can only hope some in Congress are seeing this video and are comingto understand that the surest way to improve the economy is to end the war... since they seem to need added incentive. :(

4. Blood money. I hope those that profited understand they are

trading human lives for those dollars.
