Watching C-SPAN yesterday I was pleasantly suprised to hear
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, D. CA (Petaluma) from the floor
call for immediate US withdrawal from its occupation war in Iraq. Of course you didn't hear anything about it on the news. No, of course not. Here's
an article Published on Thursday, January 20, 2005 on CommonDreams.org called 'A Shaky Media Taboo -- Withdrawal from Iraq' by Norman Solomon
Because of this "Media Taboo" I didn't realize that Woolsey introduced a Congressional Resolution for immediate US withdrawal from Iraq Jan 19th of this year. More below the fold...
Now this shows true leadership on Woolsey's and
and all the 25 House Members co-sponsoring resolution: to buck the 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' crowd that seems to have a chokehold on the Democratic Party, determined to block true Progressives at every point and to stand for a truly humanitarian and liberating cause: for peace in Iraqmire.
It gave me some genuine hope for AmeriKKKa to see her courageously and eloquently holding forth, pulling no punches and flaying Empirial Usurper George's incompetent and sinister imperial ambitions. Let all real Progressives get behind Woolsey and her House colleagues (and Sen. Kennedy's call before her) to get the U.S. out of IraquiNam!
