2. They're on the offense?

How wild is that. It shows that "we" think very differently than they do.

5. Bad times Is Here People

I feel that the fuse to the Iraq bomb has been lit...get used to combined daily casualty reports in the scores & hundreds.

GEORGE BUSH, DICK CHENEY, DONALD RUMSFELD, PAUL WOLFOWITZ,
COLIN POWELL, CONDILEZZA RICE, RICHARD PERLE ARE TRAITORS TO THIS NATION AND WAR CRIMINALS AGAINST HUMANITY....THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED & DEPORTED TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE.
