You're a Dumb fuck.

Nuff Said

:0074

Also the way Bush ignored warnings that 9-11 was coming. The selling of America started under this prick if you can't see that you truly are the Dumb Fuck.

Should we say Misson Accomplished? This guy had all of America of his side right after 9-11 and instead of using it to do good he took it as a chance to enrich his friends.

Now that said, and we have only scratched the surface Obama is not much better but only because he kept most of the Bush programs running.

Obama should be ashamed of himself but Bush should be hung for selling America.

Iraqi aircraft were forbidden from flying inside the zones. The policy was enforced by U.S., UK, and French aircraft patrols until France withdrew in 1998. While the enforcing powers had cited United Nations Security Council Resolution 688 as authorizing the operations, the resolution contains no explicit authorization. The Secretary-General of the UN at the time the resolution was passed, Boutros Boutros-Ghali called the no-fly zones "illegal" in a later interview with John Pilger.<SUP id=cite_ref-0 class=reference>[1]</SUP><SUP id=cite_ref-1 class=reference>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_no-fly_zones#cite_note-1</SUP>
