That they were innocent?

I sort'a thought _some_ people were innocent until proven guilty.

Doubtless we can't bother to apply that to far'ners...

I bet if Fox News told you Saddam was our greatest ally in the War on

Indeed - and that's why the American people are overwhelmingly voting
against the Republicans and Libertarians now.
We let them be - and look what happened.

LOL
Now you're avoiding the question
You're a stupid wanker

Still waiting for you to back up with EVIDENCE that:
"The US military has killed more innocent people the the Taliban"

I do enjoy watching you twist and turn to avoid supporting your lies

Wow, this a truly horrific story. I thought we got RID of the
Taliban? I thought it was under control and that's why we could
afford to send our troops to Iraq? No?
What's next, a story about how our school are at fault for not
