10. hey thanks. I forgot about that site

but it is interesting that only a total 314 have died. Seems with so many of them there, the count would be higher.

6. I'd say a prayer if there were a God.

Instead I'll just pet my dog and be sad now.

7. And the blood on W's and his supporters hands keep flowing

as they take the lives of our brave troops and continue their lies to us.

W is a visionary. He envisions the greatest profits possible to his elite globalists, the new world ruling class.

Just heard on local TV that Exxon's retiring CEO made $6,000 an hour for his service in the last year.
