With at least 200 reported dead now in three Iraqi sucidial truck bombings and more than 300 wounded, the White House asserted today that terorirsts will not "break our will.''

"We condemn the barbaric attacks on the innocent Iraqi citizens who lost their lives, and for the hundreds who were wounded,'' said Dana Perino, White House spokeswoman, at the Texas retreat where Presidemt Bush was said to be receiving briefings and also cutting trees and bike-riding at his ranch outside of Crawford today.

"It's difficult for those of us who live in peace and freedom to understand what possesses people to take a suicide truck bomb and blow it up in the middle of a highly populated area,'' Perino said in Crawford. "This is an enemy that has no heart, they have no conscience, and what they are trying to do is break our will and the will of the Iraqi people.

"But it has the opposite effect,'' the president's deputy press secretary said. "And we are determined, more than ever, to stand with the Iraqis and support them as they work to protect their young democracy from being attacked by a determined enemy.''

4. "no heart... no conscience" Oh the irony and hypocrisy, Dana!

The Bush Regime began dropping bombs on Iraqi men, women, and children over 4 years ago and continue to use the US military to kill Iraqi civilians. Give me a f'ing break, Dana.

6. And yet

It's not so hard for her to understand what possesses a people to drop multi-megaton bombs on civilian populations and blow little children into bloody fragments of flesh and bone just to pad a few American bank accounts?

2. Excuse me, wasn't the definition of the war ending being our living in peace!?

If we could live in peace, free of fear, we wouldn't need a war on terror!! According to Perino's own boss!!

3. Why should 250 Iraqi lives matter when

a million are already dead and four million are refugees. :sarcasm:

5. Their 'will' to continue to occupy a nation that we attacked by choice...

remember, Iraq did NOTHING to us. NOTHING.

8. But,but,but...

10. Amen.

7. Our will to do what? Live in paradise while slaughtering their children?

Republicans make me want to believe in God, just so I can watch them burn in Hell.

9. In other words, "We're never leaving Iraq and I don't care if we have to kill every one of those

Iraqi brown people!"

11. Oh, yeah!?

"Over my dead buddy!"

Or Lord Farquaad of Shrek 1 fame-"Some of you...may die... but that's a chance I'll just have to take."
I wonder if Perino thinks everyone is as dumb as she is.

12. "..an enemy that has no heart, no conscience"

she says, as her boss rides his bike, cuts brush, and generally takes it easy while his actions continue to cause death and destruction throughout the world.

13. "... we are determined, more than ever, to stand ..."

Isn't that what the British said right before we drove them out of the US?

[Disturbed]

14. "The will of the Iraqi people"...

I have been reading the a majority of Iraqis want the US Occupation to end. Most Iraqis want the Western Colonizers and al Q to leave their country & they don't want their Govt. to sign that Iraqi Oil Theft Law to be ratified. Does that mean anything to the Busholini Regime?

15. Not a dang thing.

The conquest must continue.
