PROMOTING VFP CONFAB

I was up very early this morning to drive to Portland in order to do a live TV interview to promote the national Veterans for Peace convention which starts early next week. The confab runs from Aug 25-29 in Portland, Maine.

I will be there working at the convention all of those days and will post some reports from the event. Looks like a good crowd is expected from all over the country.

The Associated Press reports today that a U.S. solider was killed in Iraq during a rocket attack. This should come as a great surprise to many since the mainstream media had previously announced that "combat operations" were over in Iraq.

Sort of like Bush's famous statement on the aircraft carrier some years ago - "mission accomplished"!
