War sucks.

War is horrible, evil, despicable, and without any redeeming qualities, save one:

It is occasionally the only real option. And, when you only have one option, that makes it your best option, and that lends it some redemption, no matter how horrible it is.

The US President said that, *EVEN KNOWING* that there were no stockpiles of banned weapons in Iraq, he still would have gone to war.

Without the *SLIGHTEST DANGER* to our country, he would have gone to war.

Without *ANY* viable threat posed by Saddam Hussein, he'd willingly sacrifice the lives of

*TEN*

*THOUSAND*

*INNOCENT* *CIVILIANS*.

*TEN THOUSAND*. Think about that. If there are forty houses in a block, and 5 people living in each house, that's every single person living in 50 blocks. How long would it take you to walk 50 blocks? Now imagine every single person you pass on those blocks being dead.

Are you starting to get the picture?

I mean, *FUCK* Abu Ghraib; *FUCK* the billion dollars every *WEEK* we're there, *FUCK* the damage this has done to our preparedness if there's a real threat, fuck *ALL* that, and just think.

Ten thousand people. All dead, despite their leader not being any threat to us.

Folks, I don't want Bush in the office. I want a real, honest-to-goodness man. A whole man; one with real balls.

Bush ain't got 'em. His are obviously brass fakes.

Because, see, he also claims that he'd he'd have his glorious little war because he understands "the stakes". He'd kill ten thousand people, over some questionable claim that it will make us safer - we don't know who the Iraqis are going to elect, and there are worse monsters on this planet than Saddam - and *HE* says that he understands the stakes.

Gotta be balls of brass, and the rectum of a bull because ordinary human cojones and an ordinary asshole ain't enough to generate that big a pile of bullshit.

Ten thousand civilians, and a thousand of our own people who swore to protect us, not to throw their lives away on a non-existent threat.

If he wakes up for the next 11,000 nights, screaming about dead people crying out for justice, it'd be nothing less than he deserves.

Don't forget this. Don't let *ANYONE* forget this. He said it; now nail him on it. Ten thousand of "them" is an acceptable price for him to force regime change, regardless of the danger the people, or the regime, poses.
