And he could use some exercise, looks like he hasn't been out of a chair in 20 years.

I'm sure they will head right down to the recruiting office. I have a cousin who is a recruiter for the U.S. Marines- they can talk to him.

at the hands of George W. Bush and the other president, five-deferment Cheney. Such a hideous loss of life in the name of "freedom" and such an obscene assault on time-honored values. The torture alone should make us hang our heads.

George W. Bush....the worst president in American history....aided and abetted by negligent media, a derelict Congress and a detached citizenry.

Whether true or not 39 Billion is an unbelievable figure to attach his name to and the average Joe/Sally is liable to dismiss the whole statement because of it. If Halliburton was used that would have been much more effective.
Just saying.

He claims he was "The Decider."

I say he's "The Destabilizer." I say a lot more than that, but I'll keep it relatively clean and without swear words, at least for the moment.

--is from a Lancet study that estimated excess deaths--that is, they counted people who died of heart attacks because their hospital was blown up, and infants dying of diarrhea because the water purification plants were blown up. It is the more accurate assessment of the toll on Iraqi society IMO.

to forget H. Clinton's part in this. She embraced the Republicon lies and helped promote them.
