1. Just imagine

2. Think about how many young Americans would be alive today without Bush's illegal war

.
.
.

makes me sad.

And no, I didn't miss the fact that over a million Iraqis died because of the USA's aggression.

Mesopotamia, the origin of mankind, wasted by American bombs.

USA, don't think the world hasn't noticed your aggression.

We have.

6. Junior King Bush spends so much money on this war of aggression against the Iraqi nation

I'm sure this money goes straight to the families of those soldiers slaughtered in this war of oil conquest.

Or, does it?

11. I guess he forgot Mittens' line, "...we're at war!!!" Or just doesn't give a damn. nt

10. The GOP loves to emphasize "We're at WAR!!!" until the casualties

and the bills start coming in. The rate at which US soldiers have suffered injury and mortality has increased over the last few weeks. Barely gets any attention on the news at all. It's mostly a scroll at the bottom of the screen. It's heartbreaking.

That war will make this one look like nothing.
