This is just unreal. How much more can Americans be asked to give for Bush's war that was based on a lie.
Call your Reps. and Senators and tell them to stop funding the war.

- The U.S. Navy got a surprise when a Chinese sub popped up near the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. Here is some info from the Cleveland Leader:
Recently, when a Chinese submarine popped up undetected in the middle of a Pacific Ocean exercise, dangerously close to the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk, American military chiefs were left dumbfounded and red-faced, according to UK newspaper, Daily Mail....
....By the time the Chinese sub surfaced, the 160ft Song Class diesel-electric attack submarine sailed within viable range for launching torpedoes or missles at the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk, a 1,000ft. supercarrier with 4,500 military personnel onboard.....
....The U.S. Navy's brush with the Chinese Navy's submarine occurred in the Pacific Ocean between southern Japan and Taiwan. The one sub was able to slip past at least a dozen other U.S. warships that were in place to ward off any hostile aircraft or submarines. Two submarines were also in place, along with other advanced technology, which also failed to detect the intruding watercraft.....
While President Bush created the war in Iraq for his own reasons, the rest of the world is just being ignored. Too much money, military, equipment, and focus has been put into Iraq with our readiness in other parts of the world being sacrificed. Is this just more of what Bush will have dumped into the lap of the next President?
