Dick Cheney’s Imminent Political Crash Landing
by Jeffrey Steinberg
It is widely known around Washington Republican circles that Vice President Cheney holds Lyndon LaRouche personally responsible for most of his election-year woes. Every time a House or Senate Democrat, or an establishment media pundit raises a question about Halliburton patronage, the Valerie Plame leak, Ahmed Chalabi’s disinformation mill, or the non.existent Saddam weapons of mass destruction, Cheney sees LaRouche’s face before his eyes, and goes wild. The question now is, can the Democrats break loose from the Democratic National Committee’s corrupt acquiescence in Cheney’s policies, and present a real alternative to voters in November?

Hans Koschnick Poses a Question Which the July Democrats Must Also Answer
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

What Koschnick Said
Hans Koschnick, a former deputy chairman of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD) and former mayor of Bremen, told the daily Die Welt that his party’s economic-social policies have come to a complete dead-end.
