Remembering ALI - the Compassionate Conservative Poster Child - Graphic
Remember Ali? How he was all important, had to get him FIXED, get him some arms AFTER they'd shock and awed Bagdad.. I created a flash then showing how one half of the population of Iraq were either women or kids under the age of 16..

NOW the Marines are over there handing out TOYS to kids.. Wonder how ALi would have felt laying there with NO ARMS having some BIG Marine armed to the hilt forcing some Christian Holiday on him..

I think we've given the kids there enough at this point, no clean water, no electricity, dead parents or relatives, a future as SLAVES.. and all the while the RIght wing here screams IT'S FOR THE KIDS!

Fuck you Bush, and the horses you rode in on.



Have a look at my new Blog where I take no prisoners, not PC at all, with humor added, called "Groove on the Rubble" at http://www.symbolman.com/blog

1. I wonder if they considered which kind of toy would be appropriate for
a child without arms.

3. Don't feel too bad
at least this kid got some arms, he was taken under the Media's wing and shown what a CAN DO American attitude (you know like we USED TO BE?) filled with generosity, can do..

I wonder where he is now, driving a cab in Iraq..

Maybe someone should start a campaign, "Where's ALI NOW?" to SHAME the MEdia and Bush who dropped him like a rock a few weeks later..
