A War for Malnutrition?

exerpt-
"So the next time some one asks you if you’re glad that we’ve removed Saddam Hussein from power, you might want to ask them if they’re glad that, after we’ve spent 200 billion dollars and killed tens of thousands of people, 400,000 Iraqi children are now suffering from acute malnutrition."

When will someone ask Dubyafuck about this in public? I'd love to see that one pop up and catch him off guard on National TV... At least it sorta made the front page of MSNBC (way at the bottom, but still...)

1. Another great commentary on the topic

was made by a former basketball player last night on Norville's show. Asked about the NBA brawl, he said it was no surprise when our president attacked another country pre-emptively. Those actions are now being put into practice with people increasingly attacking others if they think they might be attacked.
