250,000!!!!
That was the number that ChimpCo came up with for "acceptable" Iraqi civilian deaths during the Bush Blizkrieg Partitioning of Iraq invasion for Halliburton, Bechtel & the other BFEE/PNAC Mob's Big Oil friends!!

250,000!!! Knowing full well that Iraq posed absolutely no threat whatsoever to the U.S., had no affiliation with Al Qaeda, nor any connection to the 9-11 attack, the War Chimp and his evil henchmen were willing to fucking MURDER 250,000 completely innocent people, soley in order to conquer their nation and steal their resources. This doesn't even include the many tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers, who would be murdered (and were) simply for defending their homeland and families from the invaders (just as many of us would do the same here). Also bear in mind that in many villages, all boys from 10 years old and up, were drafted into the army!! 5th graders!!

So we're looking at a quarter, or even a half MILLION people that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove were willing to MURDER as part of one of the greatest armed robberies in all of history!! And you still need convincing as to the parallels between the Evil War Chimp and Hitler?? No, as far as scale, the evil frat boy isn't on a par with Hitler - but he's certainly proving himself to be of a very similar blood thirsty/indifference-to-murder pedigree!! One shudders to think what absolute mayhem these souless, raving lunatics might cause with nuclear weapons!! Am I the only one praying that the C.I.A. busts these fuckers soon and rescues us? I'm not sure we have the luxury of waiting until Nov 2004!

8. of course
course they do mate, they have been planning to nuke russia and china since the second world war. I kinda imagine the panic if the balloon went up and the generals are all sitting around trying to put something together with the 10 minutes till the big one hits.

11. ......
We had plans to nuke China if they attacked Taiwan. Which goes against "Fixated's Golden Rule," which is "don't nuke countries that probably have nukes trained on our major cities."

12. The plans have been in place before - what hasn't been previously...
Been in place - were the madmen willing/seeking/desiring to actually push the friggin' buttons!! We are truly in very grave danger every moment these freaks are in control.

7. I was thinking the same thing as I was typing it, A! The Repukes seem
so desensitized to killing that 250,000 did not seem like ENOUGH to bother them in the least!! :puke:

Excuse me.

13. You're right. What was I thinking? Anything that might be a boost to the
American economy is certainly worthwhile and the right thing to do. Certainly the amount of blood in 250,000 relatively small Iraqi people, can't come close to the billions of barrels of oil left to be tapped in Iraq!!

4. Great post!
You really nailed this one.

I hope that the steady output of counterpoints to the Bush propoganda machine will turn the tide against the bastard soon.

9. Thank you. The tide is definitely turning - but will it be enough...
To prevent another dastardly strike by these sick animals?

6. The corrupt Bush administration explanation
Corrupt Bush Administration Mouthpiece: "We expect casualties in the neighborhood of a quarter million Iraqis and one beautiful blonde."

Assembled Stenographers (aka Presstitutes): "A beautiful blonde? Who?"

CBAM to Lil George: "See, I told you nobody would ask about 250,000 dead Iraqis."
