Truth to Power

President Ghoul

From a recent White House press conference:

Q Since the inception of the Iraqi war, I’d like to know the approximate total of Iraqis who have been killed. And by Iraqis I include civilians, military, police, insurgents, translators.

THE PRESIDENT: How many Iraqi citizens have died in this war? I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis. We’ve lost about 2,140 of our own troops in Iraq.

Yes.

Q Mr. President, thank you –

THE PRESIDENT: I’ll repeat the question. If I don’t like it, I’ll make it up. (Laughter and applause.)

Laugh it up, you serial-killing, looking for WMD’s under the desk sack of shit.

How have sunk so low? 30k dead (which is a lowball figure at best) and “President Dickhead” is cutting a joke. What a ghoul.
