[listner90]

this BITCH needs to be Cancelled.

the bias and full of shit network MSNBC.

[TheSpankymonkey]

You need to be fucking cancelled. Permanently. How's that for liberalism for you´;-)

[listner90]

shut the fuck up you dumbass.

[TheSpankymonkey]

listner90 - Oh the irony of an American calling someone a dumbass. V.Funny.

[exbronco1980]

money is the most important thing to most americans

[Horsesboy85]

The reason the Bush stopped them from suing is that Saddam is who they should be suing not the current government but he was held account able for War Crimes an executed for his crimes. I thank all veteran especially those that were held as prisoners and I remember and Prey for Michael Scott Speicher MIA since 199.

[youraputztoo]

After WWI the US Government bayonetted and burned WWI combat Vets that went to collect thier combat pay. After Korea our Vets were thrown out on the street, after Viet Nam we pushed soldier out of the service and never treated them for PTSD, after the Gulf war we never admitted to the Gulf War syndrom, and the use of depleted uranium rounds and the health effects, we have not treated the rescue workers from ground zero for thier health issues....We constantly abuse our heros.

[TheSpankymonkey]

"We constantly abuse our heros." - You seemed to be obessed with the idea of hero's too.....

[bohemianwriter1]

@TheSpankymonkey

So you are one who's against the troops, for wae, with your fascists brown nose so far up Bush & Limbaughs ass that you stink more than yesterdays diapers?

I bet you're one of those brainless tea bagging chicvkenhawkis, all gun nut and mno balls...

How's that "conservatism" going for ya? Reaching out to all americans and across the seas yet?

[TheSpankymonkey]

@bohemianwriter1 - You know for one comment, you made a hell of a lot of presumptions. The funny part is you couldn't of been any more wrong if you tried.... Run along child... hardly worth playing with you...

[sh4ll00w]

8 yrs of oil! can u imagine how much money they both made!!!! they're set for life!!!!!!!!

[bhite41]

Our govt deserves to be sued by everyone who ever was or is still in Guantanamo or Abu Grabh. Bush and Cheney should be tried and convicted of war crimes by the World Court.

[grasso1117]

Bush and Cheney are the worse president and vice president team because we should not have started a war on a second front. we should have won in afgn and caught the man that killed almost 3000 americans first. but it wrong to say that captured terrorist should be able to sue our gov. they do not fall under the geo conventions. to say that we should use our tax money to pay people that were involved in plots to hurt americans is shamefull. people who lost fam mem would be hurt if we paid out.

[krikoshell08]

septeber 11 was all made up. i heard bin laden talking about that and he said they wanna stick that on my back it s not a problem

it was all made to justify war in irak and irak otherwise they did not find any prove against anyone

[TheSpankymonkey]

"i heard bin laden talking" - Did you fuck...

[TheShnuz]

You fail to understand that "our govt's" money, is OUR money. You feel sorry for those terrorists, then you shell out your own paychecks to them.

[TheSpankymonkey]

"then you shell out your own paychecks to them." - We do. Right wing fucking loons are not the only people paying for this. Your logic centres around the fact it's you that is paying for it. I am glad you are paying for it personally and you know something... I am glad you are fucking pissed off about it too. Maybe it will make you think twice about getting into this kind of shit to begin with. Your politics gets you into this shit...

[TheShnuz]

@TheSpankymonkey My post is a response to someone else's. Get your shit together and read more then one before you jump into it a convo. Your assumptions are incorrect and your argument has no reason because of it.

[TheSpankymonkey]

Do one dipstick. You get my comments whether you fucking like it or not. Retard.

[GJH1875]

Bitch, it was a fucking war. No one sued Vietnam for torturing our soldiers, and no one was allowed to sue Russia, for torturing and murdering German POWs. Fucking liberal Bitch...just using this as a way to insult the republican president. You are a sly biased whore.

[dumbass1984]

Whats wrong with suing over torture from Saddam Husain? Why does it matter what happened in Vietnam and Russia?

[mjl0002]

The government that tortured our soldiers no longer exists. The gov`t now in Iraq is a friendly one and should not be accountable for torture under Saddam Hussein. That's why reparations for slavery doesn't make sense. No slave owners are alive to pay, and no slaves are alive to receive the money.

[powerbookg]

What a COMPLETE LIE!! This ugly anchor is an idiot, but not as stupid as the title of this video and it's uploader.

[Minionuup]

I give this lesbian 6 months and she's gone. Back to the carpet!

[siamesemilkman]

that has nothing to do with what were talking about... those jap f.ucks deserved it

[ohfuqyes]

War is ruthless. that's the bottom line, trying to establish rules of war is completely superfulous. We are the ones that dropped 2 bombs on the civillian populations of japan causing 100 of thousands of deaths and severe permanent environmental damage.

[lostsoldier1967]

maybe you do ,but bush has to step down sometime and can't be elected twice. On the other hand a bunch of fruit loops armed with heavy weapons & armor shooting at everything that moves is more scary remember the oaklohoma bombing wheren't they insane ? the only thing crazy fruit loop nuts do is end up killing inocent people and spread lies and fear. The ones with brains that realise that setting of 400 pounds of amnol is a very bad thing to do are the ones we should be supporting

[dumbass1984]

We Americans have our own version of people like them. They're called Blackwater and their allies who call themselves under god. (pat Roberson, Jerry Falwell etc.)

[notjam2]

INFOWARS

support the bill of rights/freedom

stop the police state/tyranny/martial law

stop gov. sponsored terror/false flag attacks

get informed at INFOWARS

resist the new world order

[lostsoldier1967]

who do we fear most bush or crazy activists with an unlimited supply of arms and ammo !!!!

[clt2atl]

um, given the last 8 years... BUSH!

[prettyblkgyrl]

UM - I'm baffled - the Iraq government has a surplus of $79 billion. Yet the White House sites they are at risk of facing a financial hardship. SERIOUSLY?!?!

Exactly who's interest is the Bush administration favoring? You'd think the government would want to preserve the rights of the honorable service men & women who are sacrificing their lives for this war. This is a total disgrace!!

WE NEED & DESERVE CHANGE!!

[dumbass1984]

Don't Just think of our situation here. Half of all Iraqis are either dead, have fled the country, or are in dire need of medical attention. How have our solders kept them safe?

[llufetah2]

Bushshit!

[xkrisxh2ox]

More Bushshit...er, um, bullshit!

[faanunu]

History always repaets it self. do you remember what angered the americans before the revolution. Good luck fellow patiots

[faanunu]

Before we react to harshly (this what they want) you need to let the un armed peace march. This talk of arms gives the government an excuse to use martial law. If you wait till martial law is declared and those of us will march in peaceful protest. After they have shown the whole US their true colors than you have the whole nation behind you. Beware if you do peacefully march the government will have hooligans infultrated within the ranks... it is imparative that protesters police themselves.

[DancingqueenMiley90]

someone should b**** slap him to hell

[NJ1NJ1NJ1]

man its time to strap up and kick some ass. my uncle is a Vietnam veteran, and he is not happy about this. he gave me a message for all veterans

is to go to dc and rip them a new ass hole. right now hes contacting his BROTHERS to do some justice. also he told me for everyone to pass this to all Iraq Veterans Against the War A.S.A.P.

[rasjahjah]

STORM THE WHITE HOUSE

[700eyesonly007]

It wouldn't over burden Iraq-they have a 79 BIL surplus...at least thats what McCain and Obama were saying on the debates last night(9/26/08). Bush is a demon who wants to steal our money with bailouts and then scr*w us over when we and our VETS need support. How can people not be getting it?

[vancerz]

its not that bush wants to, He is going to steal our money and hand it over to the world banks so they can cut and run and plung the US in to a biblical depression.

[shockolanu]

This should happen to all who choose to fight for and follow the evil doers.

[911thegreathoax]

Yep. Army divisions are now "on duty" on American soil, ready to invade your homes just like they've been invading homes of poor bastards in Iraq for over 5 years now.

[AzowRagbak]

the battlegroup that is being deployed is one of the bloodiest. They have seen most service in Iraq out of all the battlegroups. They know how to deal with difficult people..

[911thegreathoax]

Interesting.

If they know how to deal with difficult people, though, I suggest we send them to the White House.

[AzowRagbak]

hehehe.. :) yeah I agree

[BMYBCH]

why dont the americans just go on a nation wide Riot... then the american government should listen

Stop the economy!!! where it hurts most

[seraph101]

Exactly! Storm the fuckin white house.

[andeyejah]

he looks like kernel hannibal from the a-team maybe he can get a job on the new a team set.

[andeyejah]

is that news reader a transexual? she looks like a man look how thick her neck is!and that husky voice uuuurrrggggh!

[AzowRagbak]

the looks of the newsreporter are more important as the news that's being told? Has the world been taught only to watch pictures? I guess 90% will be watching their tv's, while in the meantime their life savings go up in smoke.. lol

[andeyejah]

take a chill pill man or go out and start a new revolution

[siamesemilkman]

you can eat shit and die in a fire, slowly perferably... i'd also like to set your pets on fire as well

[andeyejah]

just as well you live in that shit hole america asshole.Not for long though your countrys going down big time moron enjoy the time you have left which isn't long!.

[dumbass1984]

Not all Americans are like him.

[KARStarla]

Yeah, its because the U.S knows the precedent he wishes to set as a deterrent for future governments (which torture)is like a revolver to its own head

[KARStarla]

They do the same things and they looted Iraq so if they sue them its like suing the U.S I would think

[rextrek]

what is wrong with this gov't?? Oh I know - Republicans!

[MountOlivet]

Bush is a terrible person for not allowing American POW's to sue the Iraqi government for starving and torturing them.

[johnson67213]

McCain is old and fragile ...Regan was the oldest president but he was in good shape at least ..McCain is handicap i heard he can't left his hands all the way up or carry a baby that weighs more than 40 lbs and he has cancer too which might cause him to be sicked if elected ...McCain is a good man but i think we need a strong president so other world leaders won't make fun of our president and take him for granted .

[rextrek]

the main point is...do U want Sarah "I can see Russia from my House" Palin being President.....???? GOD FORBID!

[Reysinhell]

oh thats great to hear. The White House isn't supporting the troops now? Tell me why we are still fighting for them? (ex-army guy)
