So I guess the ONLY people who WEREN'T disgusted were Rush and Inhofe.

Dim son Crash cart & Rumsfailed have a lot to answer for.

& where the hell is Condiliesa

they are going to send 50 billion to continue the failure.

& provided oversight to this administration, maybe they would not need to be disgusted now.

the terrorist irakis are endangering our freedoms..the must learn what democracy is and by god they WILL learn..

Which is a futile gesture. The photos will leak out and possibly worse from the troops serving there as they're rotated home.

feel free to repost the roundup in this previous thread:
