Purple fingers!

Okay, so hundreds of thousands are dead, millions displaced, and infrastructure is in ruins. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette, right? Ingrates!

Another interesting article entitled: “Israel greets WikiLeaks cables as vindication of its Iran policy” is:

George “Decision Points” Bush distorted information to make a case for the Liberation of Iraq. Here is an update:

And, pathetically enough, most Tea-Party “conservative Republican” types still stick with supporting clownish Bush. Why? Because he cut marginal tax rates on Goldman-Sachs bailout-millionaires from 39% to 35% while spending $1 Trillion further destabilizing the Islamic world?

And as long as Richard Milhous Obama remains black, pro-choice, and gets gays into the military, the left seems content with the continuation of the Global Empire. The cost of this Empire, combined with the Ponzi entitlements (which the Bushite/Republicans enhanced with “prescription drug socialism”) plunges the US deeper into the deficit inflationary funk. And, to top it off, we help manufacture homeless Moslem refugees – tomorrow’s terrorists – with this imperial hubris. Thanks for the LIBERATION, Bush!
