Yet another reason to put the entire Bush administration in jail.

Do you Americans think by ruining some country , displacing its millions and killing hundreds of thousand of its citizens you can be safe in your own country. If you think that way in this modern age, like your incompetent leaders, my friends you have another thing coming. E=mc2

How come no one is blaming the crazy muslims that are doing most of the killings and bombing? Is this a propaganda for the terrorist? Time will tell weather US troops did good for the Iraqi people. Ask your self, are terrorism subsided in Iraq? Be honest. Ex Marines

Social security was the beginning of the end. Everyone became government employees. You are owned by the government. The can take away your rights/privileges on a whim.

No Allodial title to anything. You work your entire life but never own anything. You rent/pay taxes for the privilege of living on the kings lands. You pass you debts on to your children. The wealthy live off your labors and taxes. Everything they have was bought and paid for with your tax dollars. A pyramid scheme Money goes up

If you think impeachment is the answer give your head a shake.

If you think an election is the answer put a rubber band around your head and give it a snap.

You are the problem. You and your adhesion to the government system that through you over when you signed away all rights in 1938 with the social security act

You are all to blame, you are all government employees. Your tax dollars are killing people. Killing your sons and daughters, killing Iraqi parents and children

You need to change

Liberty means responsibility that is why most men and Women dread it! We should march and throw all the bums out of the street in Congress. I hope they know that a lot of Americans don't have control or our government, so I hope they address congress for the benefit of everyone in the world.

Pkey figures of Bush, Clinton, Blair, Olmert and Sharon governments....2,2 million people death + GHW Bush

[EmelinaChaCha]

Amazing that our government caused this and the people here are so apathetic. I hear the 4k soldiers have died, but not much mention of how many Iraqis. The mission was to find the WMDs. Mission Failed. The Iraqis do not deserve this occupation. Bring the troops home and let's send in aid workers to help these people.
