The anti-war demonstrations on the eve of the Iraq war, in New York, Los Angeles, London, Rome…were the biggest anti-war demonstrations in world history, but Bush invaded Iraq the next month anyway, and as of Dec. 8, 3,000 Americans have been killed there, and perhaps 650,000 Iraqis, according to the Johns Hopkins study published in The Lancet.

“It’s bad in Iraq. Does that help?”
George W. Bush
***
The Iraq Study group has paved a way for the Iraq War to continue.
In Orwellian fashion the ISG defines the war as a failure, but
then lists the things that need to happen for the failure to
become a success.
The caldron of lies is only being agitated.
The wool is over our eyes, so just die the wool a different
color.
Who's to notice?
The Long War President still roosts on the sunny-side of his
self-delusion.
The barn is burning but Bush believes it isn't.
The strategic and corporate interests of the Bush Cabal will
not permit the abandonment of Iraq's oil fields.
If the welfare of the Iraqi people (and the world) had been
the real reason for the Pre-Emptive War, then Iraqis would
have water, electricity and freedom.
Honor would be to leave the Iraqi people now.
Dishonor already occurred when America invaded Iraq.
The Decider may not condone abortion, but his war has
become a large, grotesque, bloody one.
IT'S THE OIL STUPID!
