21st century's most prolific murderers.
Figures are approximate.

1. George W. Bush - 101,100 murders (and counting)
2. Saddam Hussein - 4,000 murders
3. Osama bin Laden - 3,000 murders
4. Tony Blair - 1,000 murders.

This is just FUCKING INSANE!!!! When will people wake up and see this?!?

5. 151, I believe
And on the execution day of Karla Faye Tucker ( a born again convert in prison) he famously mocked and derided her as she begged forgiveness from the governor.

That was the day my opinion of GWB hardened.

10. His physical cowardice is well known; he showed moral cowardice
on that day as well.With the Pope and even Pat Robertson asking him to show mercy on Karla Faye Tucker he once again shifted responsibility elsewhere, this time saying the decision was in the hands of the Texas Parole and Pardons Board and his hands were tied.

A word from him and this decision would have been reconsidered. But he'd already given the case his standard 15 minute review and wasn't going to trouble his beautiful mind with any nagging doubts.
Besides, he got to make history by presiding over the first execution of a woman in Texas since the Civil War.

thousands of wounded who have since died, thousands from Afghanistan, dozens from Texas, and some might argue about 3K from a clear late summer day not long ago...

8. Yeah, I think you'd better multiply Saddam's by a lot
don't forget the Shi'ite uprising after we kicked them out of Kuwait, encouraged the uprising, then turned our backs.

Who knows how many people that was but it was probably a whole hell of a lot.

Also don't forget the embassies blown up by Osama Bin Laden. I believe there were several hundred from that.

And the USS Cole.

I'd put Osama's total as well over 4,000.

Saddam? Easily he's right up there with Bush.
