How many people have died under Bush's watch?
I blame him for every one of them:

9/11 - piss poor neglect of intelligence report warnings.
Iraq - DSM
Katrina - FEMA pals screwed up, NOLA should have had FEMA help for the evacuation too! His WH press release on Aug 26/27 should have kicked those lazy butts into action pre-Cat 4/5 strike?

Boggles my mind now how many deaths could have been preventable?

This should be our bottom line talking point. The Buck stops with Bush.

1. That's what should be on the protest signs at marches on D.C....
"The Buck stops HERE!" (with an arrow pointing toward W.H.)

5. That's what I was thinking !
HUGE signs with Bush's LEADERSHIP Death Toll and COINCIDENCE ?

I think Sept 24 is going to take on a new 'pitchfork and torch' attitude after Katrina.

2. by some counts, as many as 150 to 200K
that's 200 THOUSAND people, if you include Afghanistan, Iraq, WTC and Katrina...does NOT include numerous psyops.

The most murderous president, ever, IMO.

6. Yep, and the world hating our country too,
puts the rest of us at risk! Let's see, our national and military defense are either in NOLA or Iraq right now....are our other major US cities protected right now? Very worried....

3. Just Americans? 10,000 Counts of Negligent Homicide and Rising
9/11 - 3,000
Iraq War - 1,900
Katrina - 5,000 plus (est.)

7. Civilian collateral damage in Iraq....?
Your numbers would rise.

10,000 Americans! Wow. And 8,000 on American soil!

4. Didn't the Rethugs used to maintain a "Clinton body count"?
Isn't it about time someone did the same thing with Bushco? Especially since his victims are real, whereas those of Clinton were simply the products of RW fantasy.

It would be running into the hundreds of thousands now, since it would have to include all the deaths in Iraq caused either directly or indirectly by our invasion and continuing occupation. I would include the 9/11 deaths. Whether you think it was MIHOP, or just happened due to extreme incompetence, it could have and should have been prevented.

8. The RW's managed to blame Clinton for all Bush's
failures. They invented the "Blame Game" tactics of Treasonous Rovian proportion! IMHO, our only hope is taking the MSM back, and I do see signs that tide is turning!

Especially CNN's lawsuit recently filed against BushCo about suppressing images of the Katrina dead.

9. Directly attributable? 1/2 million or so
Delayed effects of air and water pollution, economic collapse,bad meat, still pending.

Getting up there, even for a murderous coke monkey.

10. Exactly....
Corporate and pharmaceutical collateral damage too! Poor George, the first American President being covered full time by FOIA and the "internets" :)
