"March of the Dead" Demonstration on Capitol Hill

On Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2009, Antiwar activists dressed all in black, with white death masks, paraded in a steady rain and in single file, past the U.S. Supreme Court, and around the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, D.C., as the new 111th Congress convened inside. The "March of the Dead" participants wore around their necks the names of those killed in conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Israeli Occupied Gaza. The U.S. Congress has repeatedly voted hundreds of billions of dollars to support those two wars. Check out: http://www.nationalpriorities.org/cos... In addition, Congress continues to subsidize, to the tune of billions of taxpayers dollar a year, the state of Zionist Israel. See, http://www.wrmea.com/.

Gates Estimates Another $69.7 Billion Needed for Wars This Fiscal Year

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has sent a $69.7 billion war cost “estimate” to congressional leaders and said that the outgoing administration will not formally request more war funding before President-elect Barack Obama takes office.

The Danger of Keeping Robert Gates

The estimate would cover military operations related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with activities to battle terrorism around the world, for the remainder of fiscal 2009, which ends Sept. 30. It is not an official request for funding and is subject to change pending new strategic and budgetary decisions by the incoming administration.
