Congratulations Shrub

You've now caused many more deaths than the 9/11 terrorists.

Keep it up, baby.

Many times more, though the Bush Administration reluctantly acknowledges the American deaths, it prefers to ignore the Iraqi deaths, in the thousands.
He also prefers to ignore the devastating injuries, on both sides, which don't result in death, but ONLY permanent disability. Loss of limbs and other injuries fill the military hospitals and the Iraqi medical services are overwhelmed. Small price to pay, I guess, particularly if you, or your family doesn't have to pay it.
People are the renewable resource. Oil is not.
Surely this war is about humanitarianism and not about oil, money and power??
As Bush tried to say a while ago, "Fool me once, shame on you................"

To me as well, considering that the number of Iraqi deaths seems, otherwise, to be unimportant and inconsequential to this administration.
After all, despite those dead and terribly wounded Iraqis, "Freedom is on the march".
Mr Bush seems genuinely puzzled by the resistance of the Iraqis to the destruction and occupation of their country by those who would exploit their only value to the west, OIL. Can't the Iraqis see that this is all in the cause of their freedom?? Why aren't they grateful, instead of totally ticked off??
