This is a just a fraction of people killed in Iraq. The total easily surpasses 10,000 and is probably closer 20,000.

It's going to get even worse. The stupidity of the Bu$h administration is truly mind-boggling. Surpassed only perhaps by the gullible fools who believed the lies.

Oh well, this sort of thing happens to every country eventually, I guess it's America's turn...

Who killed theses Iraqi's?.........99% of the suicide bombings have been done by Foreign Jihadist's from countries such as Syria,Yemen and Jordan,other attacks not involving suicide bombings are carried out by terror groups,mostly composed of.......Foreign Jihadists.Sure some Iraqi's have killed other Iraqi's,what exactly is the point you're trying to make with this statement OB?........that all this is down to one man?

I thought everyone knew that the cause for all the evil, all the disease, all the murder, all the natural disasters, all of the world's problems rest squarely on the shoulders of the dumb redneck George W. Bush.

By the way, have we stolen all of Iraq's oil yet?

The Worst President in History?
The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor.


Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point:

We didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.

Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.

FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did.
From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.

Truman finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,333 per year.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost an average of 5,800 per year.

Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us.
He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing.

Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions. In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 30 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home. Worst president in history? Come on!

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation. And almost all in the compound were killed and they were Americans.
We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquid****.

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida

Worst President in History? Not by a long shot.

budanski - good letter there - keeps things in perspective.

I don't know why Kenobi even bothers. He's acting like he's dealing with an audience of college kids who don't know any better. His posts are completely disposable left wing boilerplate.
