US Distances Itself Publicly From Israeli Drive for Iran War

03-07-2008 23:59

It looks as though Israel's plan is to start an attack, and expect that the US will finish it for Israel.

I'd love to believe that there are some in congress, the military, and the executive who would be willing to throw cold water on such foolishness, but unfortunately, considering the stranglehold Israel has over this government, that's not about to happen.

HLS Largest Customers Fined For Overcharging Docters

03-07-2008 20:42

Big pharma companies make big profits from animal abuse, while causing adverse drug side effects to patients. Their greed knows no bounds and they over charged Medicaid doctors for their drugs.

Bush-Arroyo Axis Plans Deeper U.S. Intervention In The Philippines

03-07-2008 19:09
