by Dan Mattson (handyman [at] california.com)
5000 turn out at Okaland city hall to support Congressperson Barbara Lee's lone vote in the House of Representaives to not give Bush a blank check re using US military for revenge re 9/11. In this 19 minute video, Alameda County Supe Keith Carson introduces Barbara Lee, and then there is so much more.

I liked the lady I saw on the news last night (at the Oakland/Barbara Lee rally) who said something like "this indiscriminate bombing of civilians has to stop." What a jackass. It's obviously not indiscriminate. These people need to get the facts and live in reality. The US military is not over there just launching random bombs; they are carefully targeted. They may miss, or maybe the target includes civilians, but they are "indiscriminantly" bombing civilians. I like how Barbara Lee just says stuff like "We are urging the US government to seek an alternative way to bring these people to justice." It's interesting how everyone wants an alternative, but nobody ever offers one.

by you'll believe anything dept
there is no such thing as "targeted" bombs. do you even know what a bomb is? when a bomb goes off, fire and shrapnel and nails and wood and dirt go flying everywhere. how exactly is that a "targeted" attack? the reason so many afghani civilians are dying is that idiots like you hear george bush rattle on about "targeted bombings" and you dont even think to question it. your stupid disgusting attitude is what got us bombed on September 11th, and as a True American Patriot, i will see to it that your neo-fascist brainwashed shit is eradicated from this country. period.

Those 3 planes that hit the WTC and Pentagon seemed pretty TARGETTED to me!!!!

Dumbass. Of course our bombs are sophisticated and aimed at military targets. We're not levelling Kabul. If we wanted to do that, you'd see A LOT more bloody pictures put out by the Taliban about how cililians are just dying in droves. As it is, maybe a few hundred civilians who camped out near ammunition dumps or were just flat out unlucky will die. This is the price we pay.

DUH!

I beg you pardon? The price WE pay??? You pretty much misunderstand something here. That's the price the afghanis pay. And they equally don't know what they pay for like the ones who paid on september 11th.
There's no such thing like military surgery. They call it 'collateral damages' - I'd call it ignorance before life...
Stop this 'war'!!!
Cluster bombs can not be targetted. Radiation from Depleted Uranium never goes away. Hundreds of civilians have already been killed by the bombing. Millions will starve to death as a result of the bombing. Terrorism will be incited as a result of the bombing.

What is my altrnative? To begin with: no bombing. Clear and simple. If you can't get that you can't get the rest.

Bleeding heart liberals.... All I have to say. Ever notice that big 10% of Americans who oppose this war? Yes, you! Bleeding Hearts. You might as well get a gun and get it over with now. Here's a solution! Let the terrorist Pakistani's and India illiterates bomb themselves with nuclear weapons and whalla! Problems solved in the Middle East! Just a matter of days before everyone, muslim and all is cashed in to ALLAH! Let the fallout spread to Iraq, Iran, Libya, etc... By the time it reaches the USA, we should be able to tolerate the radiation. Let them bomb themselves with nukes and who can blame the USA then. Even though, they will find a way. World war 3 is right around the corner. Love one another now, for tomorrow may be a ball of fire, all in the name of religion. You know what? I don't have a faith, so how in the heck are you going to blame me? I believe in a higher power, but I don't have to kill because of it. If WE don't blow these people back to the stone age, they will blow us away! Matter of time! Mark my words in heaven!

The World Food Program announced last week that US bombs produced 3 to 4 million Afghan refugees. A conservative estimate based on culling foreign and domestic reports of confirmed deaths says that at least 3,700 civilians died directly from bombs.
