Think Progress � U.S. troops are increasingly medicated.

nobody@vox.com(DollarMan) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:26:29 +0000

Data contained in the Army’s fifth Mental Health Advisory Team report indicate that, according to an anonymous survey of U.S. troops taken last fall, about 12% of combat troops in Iraq and 17% of those in Afghanistan are taking prescription antidepressants or sleeping pills to help them cope. Escalating violence in Afghanistan and the more isolated mission have driven troops to rely more on medication there than in Iraq, military officials say. […]

Dahr Jamail's Weblog: The Iraq war has become a disaster that we have chosen to forget

nobody@vox.com(DollarMan) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:29:30 +0000

"What is chilling about Jamail's accounts is the routine destructiveness of the US forces; how they demolish nearby homes after a roadside bomb, leave unexploded munitions in the fields of farmers who don't give information, bulldoze orchards. Livelihoods destroyed, families displaced every day, incubating hatred."

Chapter VIII (con't) – Living On Stolen Time

nobody@vox.com(DollarMan) — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:37:43 +0000

MEMORIALIZE THIS..... It is admirable that some people in what's left of the progressive media are trying to make sure the public is aware of the Winter Soldier hearings on Capitol Hill, wherever the Hell that is. I can't listen to the testimony, because the gruesome details of how and when these...

nobody@vox.com(DollarMan) — Tue, 13 May 2008 18:59:18 +0000

In his usual form, former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter told a packed crowd at the Oriental Theater in Denver to stop whining about corporate media and become their own intelligence operatives. We the people have the same resources and tools that intelligence networks rely heavily on; it’s called “Google” he said.

The revelations about alleged Syrian-North Korean nuclear cooperation didn't raise as many eyebrows in Arab media as did the timing of the breaking news. Washington D.C. was obviously not pleased with something. More »

Female Suicide Bomber Kills 43 in Iraq and Two US Soldiers Killed While McCain/Cheney Visit

nobody@vox.com(Vote for President Obama 2008) — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 02:24:54 +0000

A female suicide bomber struck Shiite worshippers in the holy city of Karbala on Monday, an official and a witness said, killing at least 43 people and leaving pools of blood on the street leading to one of Iraq's most revered mosques. The blast was the deadliest in a series of attacks that left at least 72 Iraqis dead, including six youths killed when mortar rounds slammed into a soccer field in eastern Baghdad. Two U.S. soldiers also were killed Monday in a roadside bombing north of Baghdad, bringing the American death toll closer to 4,000 as the U.S.-led war enters its sixth year. At least 3,990 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The violence marred overlapping trips by Vice President Dick Cheney and Sen. John McCain to Baghdad. Their visits were aimed at touting recent security gains and stressing Washington's long-term commitment to fighting insurgents in Iraq.
