2. This whole stunt was deplorable. I don't begrudge those guys

their brand-new prosthetic hands, but a repug contributor from Texas set the whole thing up, and then they paraded these guys in the White House to demonstrate what a cruel despot Saddam Hussein was and how much better off the Iraqi people are now that he's gone.
Hey, George...there are hundreds if not thousands of Iraqis needing artificial limbs right now because of you. When will you recognize their suffering? Where are their prosthetic hands and legs?
How do you propose to undo the damage caused by your cruelty?

3. I'm proud to say

the Iraqi people are much better off being killed by Amerukans than by Saddam.

4. It was perfect...Bush didn't actually have to TOUCH him!

No smelly Arab manflesh to soil his fake Christian purity.

5. how can people listen to this clown???

"A free Iraq will show the rest of the world that when people are given a chance to raise their families in peace and security, a civil society that's stable and hopeful will develop. And that's what we want. We want a society where -- where the men who've suffered so much because of the whims of one brutal man -- where their children can grow up and realize their full potential, where the schools work, where the health care system is good."


WHAT ABOUT AMERICA, YOU JERK?

8. Same thing I was thinking!

Yeah, I would like to live in a country like that! Sounds good! Oops. He was talking about Iraq.

Oddly enough, peace and democracy doesn't seem to progressing any better in Iraq than it is in America. Go figure. They're both controlled by BushCo.
