This is a good example of the way the U.S. government works:

They mass kill people and then install the best government that their money can buy.

And then that government turns around and gives the U.S. trinkets.

Who says you can't buy and kill your way to the top.

'i pity your ass when the head asshole gets done chewing.'

What are you talking about? SP4 has never chewed my ass. He is just a guy (a Bush groupie to be precise) trying to make a point and not doing a very good job at it.

The horror of stupidity...


Once again, Dubya has demonstrated his profound stupidity and his amazingly skewered sense of ego by going to Iraq and stirring things up, just for the sake of his 'legacy'.

The National Cretin could have quietly stayed holed up in the White House waiting for the much anticipated end of his presidency.

But nooooooooo! He had to go and show his moronic pill in the one place where he's even more hated than in the US. He had to go and create a hero for them. How much did this ill advised little trip cost the taxpayers, anyway? How many US servicemen will be killed or wounded as a direct and indirect result of Bush's Folly?

That stupid blivet has once again shown he's determined to be a major disaster to the very end!

Are we comfortable with the response time of our Secret Service? This idiot was able to throw not one but TWO shoes at the president before anyone got to him! I wish one of the bodyguards would have shot this guy in the face. You have the right to express yourself and we believe everyone should have that right, but to do so violently (even if it is comical) should have some kind of repercussions.

What was actually said?Dec 15th, 2008 - 22:35:10

He threw his shoes.
Shoe no.1 'This is a farewell kiss, you dog,'
Shoe no.2 'This is from all the widows, all the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.'

The media said that he blamed bush for the (thousands of iraqis killed)
it is fact, look up scientific surveys of iraq population and death rates that about 2 million more people have died since the invasion and occupation than the previous average of iraq over the same amount of time, also you have about 8 million under absolute poverty and 4 million refugess, in a country of about 27 million pre invasion population!
The american and british media are criminal organisations who are working to brainwash their own people!

'The american and british media are criminal organisations who are working to brainwash their own people!'

Absolutely not. That information is freely available in many places. Sure, the exact numbers are disputed, but the trends are indisputable.

What is happening is this:

The typical U.S. citizen (I won't speak for typical U.K. citizen) brainwashes their own mind. They are groupies that cling onto the last fragment of the illusion that they exist in a shining democracy led by a morally relevant leader of the free world. The fact is: They are no more special then the their nemisis: The dirty savage muslim (in their words/mind) who they despise and mass kill.

The typical U.S. citizen freely brainwashes themselves. No one need do it for them. I think they do it instinctively so they don't explode when their fantasy shatters.

... you have problems speaking for yourself, let alone 300 million people.

Now, how's that dissertation coming on how Bush broke the Bank fo England...or how you killed Jimmy Hoffa, wrestled the Loch Ness monster, etc? We're all waiting.

To Spitfire, Yrag AND the wing nut lance---
Your facts/ numbers are incredibly skewed.....and, unfortunately, it's obvious, you've read way so much NBC, ABC, and CBS and CNN biased bull--it
that you cannot possibly add any pertinent facts to this debate. The numbers you gave on Iraq deaths blamed on The US LIBERATION of Iraq are totally an aberration.

Puh-leeese!

I don't need 'NBC, ABC, and CBS and CNN biased bull' (hmmm, everyone but Fux?) to know that The Dipstick is the modern political equivalent of Typhoid Mary!

I just need to be informed. That's enough... Don't try to put a Palinspin on Bush, he's done way too much. He's nonredeemable.

All he can do now is hire a bunch of preachers to have a prayer session with him in an attempt to cuddle favor from all the religious idiots out there...
