Obama Embraces Bush's Abuses…

“But Mr. Obama's more alarming betrayal concerns the imperial powers of his office, which he inherited from the Bush-Cheney duumvirate. He has either embraced or acquiesced in every one of their usurpations or abuses (some perpetrated with congressional collaboration).”

UN Report on Afghan Civilian Toll Contradicts NATO Claims

“Today, the United Nations released a report detailing the civilian death toll in Afghanistan in 2008. According to the report, 2,118 civilians were killed in 2008 - 828 by the American-led coalition forces. Most of those were, unsurprisingly, killed in the various air strikes and raids against Afghan villages.”

“President Obama's air strikes on Pakistan show that the Bush administration's mistakes in the Middle East are far from being corrected – indeed, they are being pursued even more forcefully. Our perpetual "war on terrorism" continues and is about to go into overdrive…

For the past eight years, America's reckless militarism has led only to disaster, and we're very much afraid that Iraq was only the beginning. Obama is sending more troops to Afghanistan, and the U.S. military is making almost daily forays into neighboring Pakistan – a policy that is sure to spread this rapidly escalating and futile war. The bones of many empires lie buried in the mountains of Afghanistan, and as for Pakistan, do we really want to destabilize the only Muslim nation on earth armed with nuclear weapons?”

Calls Mount for Obama to Appoint 'Truth Commission'


"Eighteen U.S. human rights groups Thursday joined a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and a retired top diplomat in calling on President Barack Obama to appoint a nonpartisan commission of leading citizens to examine and report on the treatment of detainees held by the United States during President George W. Bush's "global war on terror.

In a joint statement, the groups, which included Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Human Rights First (HRF), said members of such a commission "should be persons of irreproachable integrity, credibility, and independence" with "reputation for putting the truth and the respect for our nation's founding principles ahead of any partisan advantage."

I don’t know why you even bother… nobody cares about your childish responses and you just bump my threads!

A Greek Cypriot commentator was watching Obama’s victory speech when he noticed a black guy cry.

“This black person is crying, god bless him”, he said in a condoning tone.

The black person was in fact the reverend Jessie Jackson and GR’s post reminded me of the commentator’s remarks. Epidermic and inappropriate.

No only black people were crying, I am white and I was crying as well. following the event on live TV.

egality for all... needs still a lot of work, and Obama is a step in the right direction.

Give him some time first; maybe nothing will change after 4 years. We will see. Then.
