five years wasted
It’s been five years since George W. Bush and his theocon cronies, with the complicit support of congressional Democrats, brought the United States to war with Iraq.

Under his watch, the moral footing of the United [...]

That the president is already requesting such funding before the Patraeus shill report is issued shows that Bush will turn a blind eye to the [...]
