From the BBC:
American military officials have acknowledged that returning residents will be shocked by the state of their city.
Seventy percent of Fallujah destroyed, 250,000 people displaced and what has it accomplished? Has the insurgency been broken? No it hasn’t - Not even in Fallujah.
U.S. Marines clashed with insurgents in the battered city of Fallujah on Thursday with warplanes dropping bombs and tanks shelling suspected guerrilla positions on a day when a first group of residents displaced by fighting were scheduled to return.

Already a poster on Rowhouse Logic. The Fallujah mess speaks for itself. File it under the “Oh… My… God!” category.

I’ve had enough of the radical right, vote suppression and the failures of our current government. For me, it’s time to do something about it.
Starting in early January, I am putting progressive issue ads on WGY, an AM radio station in Albany, New York. Anyone who wants to do the same (in Albany or anywhere else) is welcome to use the ads I’ve created.
It isn’t difficult to put an issue ad on the radio. All it takes is an e-mail address, a credit card, and access to a fax machine.
Progressive Issue Ad Topics:
1. DEFICIT SPENDING
2. INCUMBENCY/REDISTRICTING
3. JUSTIFICATION FOR WAR
4. RIGHT TO VOTE
5. SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
6. DISSENT
7. CHRISTIANITY
I believe that the ideas expressed in these 30 second recordings will resonate with anyone who values fair play and good government. And to repeat, they are available to anyone. My one condition for use is that any spot must be played in its entirety, other than that; I offer them for public use.
If this idea appeals to you, send me an e-mail and I will send all 7 audio files to you in mp3 format. Your return e-mail must be able to accept attachments totaling 3.25 MB. And if you like them I invite anyone to post them on a web site for public downloads.
We are in a war of ideas, and fair play is a potent idea.
