should be rotting in a jail cell as I type this. No, if, and or buts about that.

Not for this but for the crimes that destroyed a country and killing untold hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

Horribly wounded in Iraq on his 21st birthday.

My friend is one of the Americans who only wanted to serve their country, and their President turned them into hamburger in his unnecessary, unjustified war.

And this seems like a good place to point out that Shit-for-Brains
or Cheney never once met a plane at Dover bringing back KIA's.
Even though it was their bogus war.
