19. So are you suggesting that Georgie Bush fooled Hillary Clinton?While most of the world was screaming

as loud as we could, "It's a trick, it's a f'n trick. Dont trust Bush, dont trust Cheney, dont trust Republicans." But besides all that, nitwit Georgie Bush tricked Hillary Clinton. And to the consequences that alienated all of our major allies, lead to the deaths of thousand of American troops, the wounding of tens of thousands of American troops, and how many dead Iraqi's? Totally destroyed a innocent sovereign nation. That would have made me furious if I was her. Didnt seem to upset her at all.

When I see a homeless vet on the street, I think of how she let us down. She had a responsibility to fight the neocons, fight the warmongers, fight the war profiteers, and save the Iraqi children. She isnt the only one that betrayed us, betrayed Iraq, betrayed the world, but she is running for president.
