How the US Lost the War in Iraq and Why Republicans and Democrats Refuse to Accept Defeat
By Carlos Petroni
Monday, May 10, 2004
"The United States is not what is wrong with the world" -- Donald Rumsfeld
"Perish the Universe, provided I have my revenge" -- Cyrano de Bergerac
Let’s face it, George W. Bush and the US have already lost the war and occupation of Iraq. The only thing remaining is to find out how many more people, both Iraqis and US soldiers, will need to die before the US Armed Forces are chased out of Iraq for good and the Bush administration – along with their Democratic and Republican supporters in Congress – admit their failure.

Al-Dhari has rejected the IGC (Iraqi Governing Council) calling it a US-imposed group
A pan-Iraqi group has been formed to oppose the occupation of Iraq and has immediately called for a meeting with UN envoy al-Akhdar al-Ibrahimi in a direct challenge to the country's US-appointed leadership.

Ralph Nader's Presidential bid: The Power of a Peace Candidate
By Jackson Diehl
Why should voters choose Nader? Because Kerry, Nader told the reporters, "is stuck in the Iraq quagmire the same way Bush is." That leaves the independent as the sole choice for "the peace movement in this country."
A Washington Post/ABC News poll showed him at 3 percent in early March, about equal to the 2.8 percent he polled in 2000. Five weeks later he was at 6 percent in the same poll and 5 percent in the New York Times and CNN polls. According to those polls, almost all his support has been drawn from Kerry.
46% of Americans now think the US should leave Iraq immediately and the number is going nowhere but up.

US soldiers opposed to the war in Iraq, fled to Canada, ask for political asylum
'Soldiers of Conscience' Take Sixties Route to Canada
by Marcus Warren
Two American soldiers opposed to the war in Iraq have abandoned their units and fled to Canada in a desertion evoking the exodus of young men north of the border during the Vietnam era.
The two soldiers are seeking asylum as refugees, arguing that they face persecution for their beliefs - and in theory the death penalty - if they return.
