Bush said WHAT??!!
30,000 Iraqis More or Less
By Lucinda Marshall
"George's face was eerily matter-of-fact as he said it. '30,000 Iraqis more or less' have been killed so far in the 'War on Terror'. No remorse or sadness, he seemed wholly unaffected in any way by the enormity of such a loss of life, let alone that he might bear some responsibility for it happening. But it was major news that during his remarks to the World Affairs Conference in Philadelphia, the President had finally put a figure on the number of 'enemy' war dead and my local newspaper duly ran the story on Page One ...
"In response to other questions, he also mentioned the number of American war dead, and that he thought Iraqis responsible for prison torture should be held accountable. But it wasn't until the 3rd from last paragraph in the wire story that appeared in my local paper that this chilling statement was reported, 'The long run in this war is going to require a change of governments in parts of the world'.
Hello? Wait a minute, stop the presses, HE SAID WHAT??"
