Merry Christmas Mr Bush

Thanks for that Paul - we simply get coarsened to the sufferings inflicted on Iraq, & need reminding.
Please keep on with sending shoes, virtual shoes (pictures), etc., to Bush & Biffo, with your comments.
Saddam's only weapons of mass destruction, including poison gas for Halabja, were sold him by UK & US, & there seems to have been a question of unpaid bills on them - the rest were Weapons of Mass Deception.

And one that hopefully others will copy.

I think I'll have to send one to Cowen and Co as well in the new year.

I'd recommend that people check out the YouTube video linked to below, and also check out http://www.shannonwatch.org

Slán agus beannacht,

A well writen letter, full of undeniable and inescapable truths. Any appologist for the west's imperial escapades should hang their heads in shame.
Good ridance to Bush. When he doesn't have the assumed mantel of the leader of the world and though unlikely, I hope when he has the spare time to reflect on his actions he does at least one decent thing in his life. That is to end it!!

Remember Bush didn't start this war all by himself, so it's not gonna end the day he leaves, and the dead won't come back when Obama takes office (even though some think he is the Messiah).
We shouldn't make any asusmptions about the changeover. There's plenty going on, and still a war in Afghanistan, so keep those shoes going, and let it also be a warning to the next president.

Here's to Paul for writing the letter, I found his song on YouTube. Very good stuff.

Obama is being hailed as the fulfilment of Martin Luther Kings Dream and the turning of a new leaf in US forigen policy.. Nothing could be further from the truth,
-hope springs on futile ground.
People here in Ireland love Clinton and without acknowledging his horrible record , continnue to love him. It is a sad indictment of the human being when we need so much to adore leadership and justify their actions.
Clintons job in office was to destroy Columbia, and destroy any African attempt to gain access to cheap retro-viral drugh treating Aids sufferers to ensure the pharmacutical industry stays obscenely profitable so he bombed the only pharma-retro viral factory in Africa in the Sudan. How many has he killed?. How many could have been saved?? Millions is the running estimate. What was his 'reasons' for the attack??? You guessed it ....W M fucking D. Who is obamas staff ??- nearly all x clintonites, Sanction loving, kid killing neo-con facists
If Anyone thinks Obama is a breadth of fresh air they must have inhaled to much agent orange.
Mabey Obama needs to be sent shoes also along with...
Cowen- minister for forigen affairs when we helped invade Iraq.
Aherne- Taoiseach when we helped invade a sovrigen country and kill anything that moved
Mary O;Rourke- The lovley lovable cuddly sweet oul dear who signed the overflight and landing papers to allow this atrocity to happen.
O'Dea- Minister for Defense, invested up to his nuts in Petrel Resources- 410% profit post invasion.
Harney- minister for trade/ enterprise. Her friends the Mcelvaddy Bros. made millions on re-fuelling the war on Iraq, are now on the board of Knock airport trying to convince toe locals that rendition flights would be great for the local economy..
In fact every one of them that sit in Dail Eireann, Those who support bush/Obama and those who support by remaining silent---which is EVERY ONE OF THEM..

Merry Christmas to them all and their families, I only hope that their day may be tarnished by a reflection of their accomplishments in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the total devistation they ALL helped bring in destroying a nation of 24 million people.....I bet they all condemn Hitler but dont relate this to their actions.

Hi Paul,,

This is an excellent letter and a great effort by you. I've added your letter to my own blog, thanks for putting the effort into writing it, it'll save me having to do it.

Now, to find a pair of runners that smell enough to send to Bush.

Mark.

The Pentagon announced that Obama has asked thousands of right wing hawks remain on in their positions. Not only is Defense Secretary Robert Gates being kept on but the entire right wing concensus in the Pentagon is also remaining at the behest of Uncle Tom Obama. Obama has also picked a National Security team comprised entirely of pro Israeli right wingers.

Change?
