Friday's WAR COSTS! WHO PAYS? WHO PROFITS? demonstration in downtown Tacoma marking the 7th anniversary of the Iraq was briefly noticed Thursday afternoon on the "Word on the Street" blog of the News Tribune (Tacoma, WA).[1]  --  We hope to see you there!  --  The event is co-sponsored by United for Peace of Pierce County, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Veterans for Peace-Chapter 134, and plans for the event were finalized at Thursday evening's UFPPC meeting.  --  Good people of Pierce County!  --  Step outside the complicitous spiral of silence about the war(s) enabled on an hourly basis by corporate-controlled media!  --  You know the Iraq war was no "mistake" based on good intentions!  --  Last week we heard someone on NPR blithely say that before the war "we all thought" Iraq had WMDs.  --  What a joke!  --  We never believed it, and several thousand were in the streets here in Tacoma on Feb. 15, 2003, before the war started, to show that they didn't believe it either!  --  Today the mainstream media is silent or solemnly frets over the 21st-century equivalent of the white man's burden, but refreshing restatements of the truth about the war are appearing here and there in conjunction with the anniversary of the war.  --  A particularly good one was printed in the student paper of Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday.[2]  --  "[W]hy are we still so incapable of admitting that former President George W. Bush purposely drove the U.S. to war with Iraq solely for profiteering?" asked Cort Tafoya.  ""[I]t was all a lie.  Now it’s just a matter of when we’re going to admit it as a nation."  --  WAR COSTS!  WHO PAYS?  WHO PROFITS? --  See you at the Federal Building on Friday at 4:00 p.m., or later, at 5:30 p.m., at the Pacific I-5 overpass! ...
