Tip of the iceberg. How many Iraquis died? I remember a lot did. They apparently don't matter.

(13,110 posts)president Obama should have looked backwards instead of forward.
His position on holding the Bush administration accountable seems to make him an accessory.
Continuing many of the Bush policies doesn't help his cause either.
They are all criminals in my opinion.

(10,103 posts)Sanctions did kill children, about 500,000 of them, and another 6 or 7 hundred thousand, to make it 1.2 million during the decades of sanctions. Another 600,000 or so during the early years of the war.
2 million internally displaced, and another 2.5 to 3 million externally displaced. Don't forget about the desecration of the excavation of the site of ancient Babylon, which can never be recovered. The pollution of the rivers and land. The DU poisoning, which continues to kill and will for a long time.
Cheney has a lot to answer for.

(27,985 posts)but Cheney isn't looking like that virgin's heart is working all that well for him. Perhaps we won't have to listen to him lie much longer. And baby Bush, anyone can see that he is in presenile dementia and it won't be long before he'll be wearing diapers. So good riddance to them all.
