King George’s palace

Former governor Bush would be chastened if he could read Shelley’s poetry which is somewhat more complicated than The Fuzzy Caterpillar or My Pet Goat:

“‘My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

The U.S. is in the process of building what will be the largest embassy in the world. Where else but Baghdad?

As has been clear from the outset, Bush and company conducted an illegal invasion to take control of the second largest oil field in the world, but more importantly, to control the flow of all the oil in the Gulf region. Empire is what they’re after.
