The only war Bush is interested in fighting are wars that profits his cronies.

See all those African hotspots and dictators?

All that human misery?

Is he going in there to "liberate" those poor folks too like he "liberated" Iraq?

And give them democracy too?

No sirree, there ain''t no oil there in Darfur.

Tough Luck.

We only bomb and invade countries with oil!

Right, ********?

LOL

First-cut government spending. Second eliminate the tax cuts for the rich. Thirdly raise taxes 2% for 40 years.Fourthly strip the Fascist''s of their wealth forever and limit them to minimum hourly wages. They have robbed us and we have every right to justifiably do so.I personally would love to pull all their toenails and fingernails out with a pair of pliers for what they have done not only to us but our children and grandchildren. If they can ok water-boarding--we should have the right to pull their nails.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." --DD Eisenhower''s Farewell Address to the Nation, Jan. 16, 1961

"When a country has five percent of the world''s population but spends fifty percent of the world''s military spending, that country''s persuasive power is in decline." -- from the movie Syriana

Old Lucifer himself would be proud of his son, George W Bush.

To see all the killing and destruction in Iraq wrought by his son.

Yep that same one who said he talked to his Father in Heaven, turned out to be his Father in Hell.

The Iraq war has all the hallmarks of the work of Satan.

935 LIES.

4000 DEAD AMERICANS.

COUNTLESS MORE DEAD IRAQI BABIES, WOMEN AND MEN.

EARNING HIM THE DISTINCTION:

GEORGE W BUSH - BUTCHER OF CRAWFORD, MASTER OF DEATH.

Repubs are as addicted to big government and spending other people''s money as much, if not more, than Dems.

Nice job, voters. These are the people YOU put in office.

Republicans always claim that Democrats are the Party of Tax and Spend, but the new reality is the Republicans are the Party of Tax Cuts then Borrow and Spend which is actually worst! At least the Democrats left the Republicans with a Surplus and the Republicans have run up a 9 Trillion Dollar National Deficit with a 400 Billion Dollar debt! Which is worst? You make the call!!

Well, thank goodness the budget for Iraq isn''t being squeezed. I pray for more billions to be sent to Iraq everytime I read about China funding our war.

America spends more on defense than the rest of the world combined. For what? To defend ourselves against a bunch of bedouins who, the last time they attacked us, attacked us with BOX CUTTERS????

So now we have a $400 billion deficit WITH cuts in Housing, education, and anti-poverty.

It''s time for American''s to ask who their defense tax dollars are REALLY defending, over there in the Middle East where there''s lots of oil, but NOT a lot of Americans.
