1. "BRING EM ON" shouted the AWOL Chimpanzee
From his safe room at Buckingham Palace

And kill almost 500 they did.

I wonder if he was hiding under his bed at the palace?

I don't know how the chimp sleeps at night. I suppose if he had a conscience very poorly, but, he has never shown any sign of empathy.

5. How many more we have to sacrifice?
For the companies to have the freedom to grab Iraq oil and
for the neocons to conquer the world?

10. YOU WONT SEE THE BODY BAGS
You wont see the funerals, you wont see the maimed and wounded.
No one cares but people who arent in denial.
