An Iraqi boy holds a picture of George W. Bush found amongst the rubble of the "safe house" in the village of Hibhib near Baquba where Abu Musab al-Zarqawi died.

3. And Dear Old Dad too!!

Don't forget old H.W.! After all he killed about 150,000 of them back in '91. Then he followed that up by stirring the Shi'ites and Kurds into revolts and then abandoning them both when the Saudis and the Turks - who had and have his and his son's (and therefore our) balls in a vice, didn't want a Shi'ite regime in Iraq nor a viable Kurdish entity in the north. The result was that Saddam's helicopters massacred Kurdish refugees while U.S. helicopters were in the air watching under his orders!

The result of the Shi'ite rebellion - which Bush 1 called for - was the subsequent murder of over 300,000 Shi'ites which, interestingly, led to all the mass graves that were unearthed and used as an excuse for the current war by his son when the latter's lies about WMD were beyond question. Amazing.

And let's not forget the brutal sanctions imposed on Iraq which did nothing more than to strangle the Iraqi people while at the same time strengthening their torturer. WHO estimates put the death toll at around 700,000 children under the age of 9 dead and over 1 million total as a direct result of these heinous measures.

So let's count. Gulf War 1: Dead Iraqis - 150,000. Perpetrator - The House of Bush. Sanctions and sporadic bombings from '91 to the advent of current war: 1,000,000 (and that's generous). Perpetrator - The House of Bush. Current Iraq War, 2003-present: app. 200,000 dead Iraqis and quickly rising. Perpetrator - The House of Bush. Calling on Shi'ites and Kurds to rebel against Saddam and then abandoning them after promised assistance, 1991 - between Kurds and Shi'ites: 400,000. Perpetrator - The House of Bush.

So, all told, we see about 1,750,000 dead Iraqis at the hands of this sick fucking family. Worthy of a couple of statues? If you believe in forced population control, then absolutely. Heil Bush!
