Why would they not report that??????

Who the fuck are these people??????

[valhala56]

Tell me, where do you get that the Democratic party is anti war?

[doug575]

I've had enough of our govt. But what do I do about it? I never vote for Rep. or Dem. anymore. Really what else can I do?

[gwbushisOnePoS]

log140:

Okay, go ahead and find out exactly who new what and when they knew about because I really don't care!

All I need to hear is that that PoS g. w. bush received the harshest punishment for Murder under American law.

I can't get more simple than that.

[log140]

... i have no doubt about the evidence! still we need to find out who was involved, because politicians from both parties/cia/nsa/fbi seem to have known more than they want us to believe they knew... execution without investigation is not justice!! would make us not better then them...

[gwbushisOnePoS]

log140:

I know the truth!

Who needs more evidence, NOT ME!

I say we forget the trial and go straight to the penally for Mass Murder.

[log140]

bush & cheney must be prosecuted!! (to find out the truth...)

[gwbushisOnePoS]

log140:

My guess is that 50,000 were actually tortured by the order of that PoS g. w. bush, 1.5 Million Murdered by the order of war and 2.5 Million homeless with 10% of them living with deformities due to injury from bullets, rockets, bombs and cruise missiles.

The bottom line is that that PoS g. w. is a War Criminal.

[log140]

this makes even 300.000 a possible number...

[gwbushisOnePoS]

log140:

In the first weeks and even months after the invasion of Iraq journalist embedded with US soldiers said on on camera . . .

''every morning we'd find up to 100 people a day tossed on the side of the road with holes drilled into their head, back, hands and feet.''

When asked how many bodies the US soldier had seen tortured like this off the side of the road since he'd been in Iraq, the US soldier said 10,000 easy! That was before the Abu Grieb leak.

Drilling the body is a CIA method.

[log140]

that is because MSM told us only 3 ppl were tortured... when the truth will come out, the number will be something like 3.000 to 30.000..

It's because the ACLU is a joke of an organization that have lost their credentials many years ago.
