Perhaps Kerry is a genius. His comment has brought the focus on Iraq to the front. The Republicans here on YouTube and elsewhere are taking the bait and getting their butts kicked (by the truth).
Serious? Well, kinda. I mean, I dont want anybody to die really, but I've been amazed that in the last 4 years there have little to know attempts. There HAVE to be some crazies out there. Are you telling me we dont have our Lee Harvey? CALLING ALL GUN OWNERS!!!
"how many people in IRAQ were murdered by Saddam Hussein?"
Best estimate by human rights groups: 300,000 over 30 years. During which time he was kept in power and given WMD by the United States. Remember the Reagan response to Hallabja? How many are estimated to have died in our invasion and occupation: 655,000.
and I think those numbers are just from the CURRENT occupation. Not the first one (when we should have taken Saddam out) or the years of malnourishment, starvation, and lack of medical supplies and facilities by the US sponsored food for oil program. I fucking hate Bush.
Yes, people were all over Kerry for a stupid joke, which was supposed to be about Bush. But Bush is actually joking about not finding WMD's in Iraq, which was the reason he sent our troops to war, which has cost over 2,000 lives!! Why aren't these hypocrites made at Bush for making jokes about lies he said which has cost so many of these brave soldiers their lives!!
"Conservatives of today need an authoritarian figure to guide them and they willingly do whatever it takes to please that figure." Orwell would be proud.
I think a better ad would be focusing on GOP being out of touch with average voters though. Juxtaposing botched joke vs. botched war and then how all GOP's jumped on botched joke but no one jumped on botched war, and then end the ad in a "time to end the partisan game - the future of this country is not about a joke".
And how many people in IRAQ were murdered by Saddam Hussein? and how many people in IRAQ have voted in three "free and democratic" elections? AND what percentage of their population voted compared to the US population? AND how often does Kerry say some dumbass comment about US troops a la Tuesday of this week and his treason (I mean, testimony) before congress in 1971?
Your point being? Who should we invade next? Saudi Arabia? China? Pakistan? How come Saudi Arabia is our ally on war of terror? You do not that they torture all dissidents in Saudi Arabia, don't you?
Could there be a more typical right wing nut job response. Don't address the fact that Bush is making jokes while troops are dieing for his horrible decision making. Bottom line: Bush sent our troops into harm's way and it wasn't necessary.
Have you actually read his 1971 testimony? Truth is not treason. The Bush Administration should be held for treason for distorting the truth. Saddam sucks but now Iraq is even worse off than it was before. He had been contained for nearly a decade and was no more of a threat than Castro.
Do you really believe we invaded because Saddam was a murderer? BTW, that was a long time ago, and we did nothing then. Many more have died as a result of our bombings than would otherwise have died. Many more will continue to die in the civil war we created.
Saddam committed his worst crimes against the kurds in '83, with the full financial and military support of the US. The US and GB killed over 100,000 civilians from sanctions imposed on Iraq from '91-'03. The US bombing campaign and military occupation from '03 to the present has killed over 650,000 Iraqi civilians. I don't blame Bush though, he's just a puppet, like Kerry. Kerry isn't surrounded by neo-cons who invade weak nations though.
please for the sake of our country, the United States of America, if you are a true patriot and NOT a terrorist against our nation, then you won't be voting for republicans ever again. may G-d bless America!!!
SERIOUSLY. Bush is a piece of shit. BIG PIECE OF SHIT. wow i'm glad I live in America I can say that
