A murderer will speak to Congress.
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 11:11 AM by Bleachers7
Today I hear that Allawi will speak to our Congress. This is beyond disgusting. This guy shot 6 prisoners in the head among his other crimes against humanity. He is a puppet of the US gov't that is responsible for the mass murder of his citizens. There are ties between him and one of our real enemies, Iran. I am so disgusted by this. I plan to contact my congressmen and you should too. What fucking country do we live in?


:mad: :argh: :grr:

1. Well our country is still the greatest country in the world....
...but this administration and the supporters of this administrations policies around the world and the governments they support are very screwed up. Will this be on C-Span? Time?

3. Then
Only the part of this country that does not support this administration and its policies is great, therefore only half of this country is still great, the other half prefer to goosestep.

2. Oh, what's the difference?
Just because he pulled the trigger?

5. I'm not sure what you mean.
But, yes that is significant. Don't forget the fact that he is responsible for the killing and oppression of his "own" people.

7. What I mean is...

...that as long as we draw a fundamental distinction between those who pull the trigger and those whose executive actions result in murders of thousands, we won't be able to hold our leaders truly accountable.

The man who gave SOTU to the Congress last year is responsible for far more deaths than Allawi.

4. Didn't those murders happen on about June 15, 2004?
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 11:42 AM by librechik
Just before he was rewarded for his loyalty to Bush by being named President of Iraq?

This is so typical of the illiterate Nazis who are running this country nowadays. We have to get these Bush Bastards OUT!
