War in Iraq, George W. Bush : SOUTHERNHELL.COM
[SOUTHERNHELL.COM] The all-powerful dictator who once had thirty-seven palaces was living in a few cubic feet underneath a mud hut. Bush immediately went on television to trumpet his capture, “I say to the Iraqi people, ‘You will not have to live in fear of Saddam ever again.’” But elsewhere, there was little to crow about.

t r u t h o u t | Iraq: The "Subprime" War

The Simpsons - Iraq war Censorship : Iraq News and Information
