Iraqi insurgency says Bush's reelection boosts their cause

Two French journalists who were held hostage in Iraq for 4 months have revealed that their captors wanted Bush to win re-election since it would boost their resistance. "We want Bush because with him the American troops will stay in Iraq and that way we will be able to develop.''

Is Bush's occupation of Iraq radicalizing young Iraqi men to take up arms against America?! (Careful Igor, you might be called unpatriotic and delusional...)

The proof is in the pudding.

10. I really don't care if you like the French or not

You do have a right to your opinion, but the whole 'freedom fries' thing is daft. If you don't like the french how about giving back the statue of liberty. That'll show em! As for the rest it is pretty undeniable that Bush has done more to promote terrorism than anyone else in the last decade. Bin Laden couldn't ask for a better ally.

14. You think that murdering tens of thousands of innocent

people was a good thing?

France was right
Germany was right
Russia was right
tens of millions of protesters were right

Your asshole president was wrong.

15. Did you read the Dolfur Report?

I really doubt it since it is called the Dulfer Report. So many people like to spout things that they have heard on the radio from other people than do the research themselves. You wouldn't do that would you? Since Obviously you have read the report??? Right?
