Why is this man smiling?


When W announced the start of the war, he looked properly sober in addressing the nation. With thousands of Americans now dead, public support crumbling, and no apparent end in sight, you'd think his handlers would have told him to keep a serious visage, tinged perhaps with steely resolve.

8. Wouldn't it be incredible if
Halliburton had to relinquish the billions they have made off this illegal war. The money could go to veterans and for reconstruction of Iraq. I know it is a fantasy.

11. Maybe because he just had a private session with Gannon
Just before going on stage he had a session with his gay hooker fake reporter gannon and it didn't involve an interview.

13. If looks could kill. These guys know how to do it.
There's a low rumbling down below in the ranks, matched by an almost desperate desire by the senior officers to get this fiasco over and done with before Iraq does to the Rumsfeld's military what Vietnam did to McNamara's. We're getting to the point where they're considering all available options.

14. I can sure understand that. Giving so much for the pride of a few.
How many must die so Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld don't have to say "We were wrong."

16. Because he's a cowardly idiot?
:shrug:

Maybe he's thinking how some of the guys in that photo will probably end up getting killed in Iraq, and he won't have to go to their funeral.

21. As much as I don't care for Condi....
She's had a hard life don't you think? :shrug:

Anyone know that Condi's sisters were killed in the bombing of a church? She didn't get raised in luxury. She came from the streets of povert. Too bad she turned into such a liar though by buying that fundie bullshit.
