Let's apply the 'Ticking Bomb' scenario to mr. bush
republicans like to use the 'ticking bomb' scenario to soften the fact that we like to torture our prisoners of war. it goes something like, a terrorist has been found to have a nuclear bomb and it's ticking and since he refuses to tell where it is and when it's going to explode, they must torture the truth out of him in order to save thousands of lives, thereby making the torture legal, and just.

well.........bush is literally threatening the lives of thousands, no kidding, he's already killed THOUSANDS of innocent people, and two thousand u.s. soldiers and he shows no signs of letting up, so....

ticking bomb scenario anyone?

3. As children, we learned that scenarios
like this were only for fun. You never really have to choose between kissing Sally and eating a snail.

Republicans are still trying to decide.

5. He's aiming to murder millions
One at a time as Governor wasn't enough for him.

A few thousands isn't enough for him -- so he's aiming for hundreds of thousand and then millions.

These creeps will NOT give up their power -- they will not go without a fight.

YES he is like a ticking bomb -- but we can't see the timer.
