1. I shudder inside

at the grief and sorrow that this "leader"? has caused so many people in this country and elsewhere. He MUST go!

2. No one is still counting the wounded that died. What a bunch of

lying creeps. Why isn't the press on this? It can't take much to get those figures? And remember the journalist that was killed because he was working on a story about the mass grave of US military people in Iraq I wonder what the rest of that story is??
