“A year ago, I did give the speech from the carrier saying that we had achieved an important objective, that we had accomplished a mission, which was the removal of Saddam Hussein,” Bush said.
“And as a result, there are no longer torture chambers or rape rooms or […]
Luckily I don’t have to say “I support the troops” or “no homo” because the rape and torture of Iraqi prisoners is being perpetrated by civilian contractors.
I would say “Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one”, but I think it is quite obvious who is responsible. I can just see […]
