Liberate this
Where are those weapons of mass destruction, anyways? I thought that's why we invaded Iraq. Or did we invade the country to liberate the Iraq people? Or didn't we invade it because it had connections to al-Qa'ida which also, ahem, has not been proved? But don't you DARE suggest that we invaded the country to make sure that we control it and its oil supply! That could NEVER be the reason!

You know what I hate? I hate these idiots hosting the talk shows saying that people like me have now been proven wrong and that we should eat crow. I wish I was as clueless as those fuckjobs, because it seems like that's the only requirement one has to fulfill to get a hate radio talk show. These people never once address the points of the anti-war crowd, and then after the US forces roll into Baghdad and talk down a statue, they all act like it's the end of the war. And let's not pay any attention to the looting that has wrecked Iraq cities while US troops STOOD BY AND WATCHED, which is in DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE GENEVA CONVENTION. One shouldn't blame the troops, though, because they are only doing what they have been ordered to do. Appearently to their commanding officers, as well as the rest of the lapdog American media, defines liberation as letting a lot of maniacs run around and destory a city, leaving the rest of the residents to cower in fear, locking their doors. Killing people who come onto their property. Doctors are afraid to venture outside and goto work because their are no US troops to watch over the hospitals that treat the innocent Iraqis who need care because WE BOMBED THEM.

If you think this is liberation, fine. If it's such a fucking liberation, then maybe you want to live in Baghdad right now! Go ahead, hop on a plane to Jordan and get a driver to take you the rest of the way. I'll start a betting pool on how long you have to fucking live.

Iraqbodycount.net, which takes their count from when the reporters of western media sources say in an article that they so however many Iraqi citzens dead, lists the count at a minimum of 1367 causalities. Maximum is 1620. And this war isn't over yet. Remember how the media and US military were talking all about this smart, super accurate bombs a month ago? To paraphrase: "All those anti-war protesters just don't know what they were talking about when they say that our missiles will harm innocent Iraqis, we have SMART bombs now!" Well, your smart bombs have killed a minimum of 1367, and none of those people had the first name of Saddam and the last name of Hussein. Was it worth it? Was destorying the lives of 1367 innocent people and their families worth it? Would you be able to look an Iraqi in the eye and tell them that it was worth it after they lost a loved one? Would you be able to look an Iraqi in the eye and say that you librated them when the body count is growing and their city is destroyed because that liberating force stood by and did nothing while anarchy erupted around them?

Please don't talk to me about how this is liberation. It's just more bullshit from the Bush administration, and once again the idiots are gobbling it down without question. Just more bullshit propaganda, the American media turns the other cheek and let's their president literally get away with murder. When the looting broke out, the media didn't treat it like it was a big deal. They just went to the military to get their comments on the looting and why they aren't doing anything about it, and the military gave them some bullshit reply. That's it. Don't want to waste any show leather to ask any actual Iraqis about how they feel. Would somebody please explain to me how that's not propaganda?

Maybe we should have added Palestine Hotel to the list of places to bomb. Get rid off all those useless clods and start over.

Anybody who supports this war should be ashamed of themselves.
