“I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.” —George W. Bush
Upholding the Holy Scriptures using one hand, jerking off using the other - an anti-christ whose actions are against the Bible and are morally corrupt to the core.
What make Bush a ‘moral man’? Simple and easy: oppose gay marriage, against any abortion and essentially (for all practical purposes) against stem cell research. Period.

The Funny People
We may get angry but these funny people keep turning out jokes to remind us that, after all, this is a funny world.
“Of all the blunders by the US administration in Iraq, the greatest is its failure to understand Iraqi people, women in particular. The main misconception is to perceive Iraqi women as silent, powerless victims in a male-controlled society in urgent need of “liberation”. This image fits conveniently into the big picture of the Iraqi people being passive victims who would welcome the occupation of their country.
The reality is different. Iraqi women were actively involved in public life even under the Ottoman empire. In 1899 the first schools for girls were established, the first women’s organisation in 1924. By 1937 there were four women’s magazinespublished in Baghdad.” ~ The Guardian UK

Hearts and Minds
The self-deception is becoming so ludicrous that we tend not to get angry anymore.
Some idiotic (allegedly independent) estimates put the number of civilian deaths at 16,000 – a number which was mentioned even in the reputable Washington Post. But the mere mentioning of this number without questioning it is unethical – 16,000 is simple too big a damn lie. One needs to look no further than the official coalition casualities which stands at 1,434 today. And how many out-dated Viagra one has to consume in order to believe that the number of civilian deaths is only marginally 10 times higher than the official coalition casualities? 100 times maybe.
Even with the few instances that came to light (most notably Sites and now Home), we hear some people still trying to give legitimacy to these killings by calling them mercy killing. Self-deception is fine if it is only to avoid saying sorry but you do not need to be a bastard to do it.
We should know how precise the ‘precision fire’ is because it did, in more than one occasion, accidentally bombed and killed their own men.
Not unlike the Japanese killings in Nanking where over 300,000 civilians were killed, the horrific episode was skated over in Japanese textbooks and some right-wing Japanese even called it “one of the biggest lies in the century’ despite ample documentated evidence.
Baghdad may not be Nanking yet though it is getting there fast. We all know that War is cruel and has no mercy and if they want to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people by putting one bullet to their hearts and one bullet to their minds, do it. But please do it as an American and not an idiot American.

Anyone But Bush
These gotta have something to do with intelligence.
According to a recent survey by PIPA:
- 75% off Bush supporters continue to believe that Iraq was providing substantial support to al Qaeda,
- 63% believe that clear evidence of this support has been found.
- 60% of Bush supporters assume that this is also the conclusion of most experts.
- 55% assume that this was the conclusion of the 9/11 Commission.
- 72% of Bush supporters continue to believe that Iraq had actual WMD.
- 52% assume that most experts believe Iraq had actual WMD.
- 57% also assume that Duelfer concluded Iraq had at least a major WMD program.
- 31% of Bush supporters recognize that the majority of people in the world oppose the US having gone to war with Iraq.
- 42% percent assume that views are evenly divided.
A large majority of Kerry supporters have exactly opposite perceptions.
And there has already been a series of well-publicized official government reports that debunked the notions of Iraq’s possession of WMD and the alleged al Qaeda link, including the billion dollars Duelfer report.
What is even more remarkable is that the same survey actually found that 55% of these self-described Bush supporters said NO to war IF U.S. intelligence had concluded Baghdad did not have a WMD programme and was not supporting al-Qaeda.
And 58% of them also assumed that the president would not have gone to war under those circumstances.
