Red Hot Chili Peppers Brand Bush A ‘Liar’
Alternative rock group Red Hot Chili Peppers have branded President George W. Bush a ‘liar’, stating the president needs to be impeached.

Flea says: "George W Bush should definitely be impeached. He is a liar and his lies have bought misery to millions of people and bought no good to anyone except for the corporate oil billionaires who are making huge profits. They are profiting during wartime - that is unscrupulous and terribly sad."

He explains: "W Bush has made the world a much less safe place. Before the war Iraq was not a place for terrorists. Saddam Hussein, brutal dictator that he was, was secular and had nothing to do with Al Qaeda and was sanctioned to death and had no power outside of his country. Now it is a breeding ground for terrorism and anti-Americanism is at an all time high all over the world and the people of Iraq are no better off at all."

In the lengthy post, Flea adds: "George W Bush has sent American soldiers over there to be maimed and killed only to serve his selfish oil company needs and for his ego. The administration's line that they were over there because they wanted to spread democracy and freedom is nothing else besides a lie. If they had any interest at all in the well being of other human beings they would be doing what they could for people who desperately need and would love help in Africa."

8. Obviously he's not running for office. Those who are
never say such things. It can be dangerous.

12. Hmmmmm..... Maybe he IS...
(Hey, no, not ME. I'm already on record as being either the Queen of England or a pretty-smart Labrador Retriever, depending on how much I've had to drink.)

Either way, this one's for YOU, Flea! :beer:
