BLOWBACK...... [View all]

My own opinion is that GWB / Cheney et al...are directly responsible for this latest tragedy.

They did it on purpose and the motive was profit. When PBO/ Pelosi failed to hold them accountable for even the most obvious malfeasance we sealed the deal.

One Million dead-did we think the offspring / survivors would just forget what was done to their families?. Ramifications were predicted and here we are....

Thanks Republicans!!
