If one American child was treated like this...

A Sunday Herald investigation has discovered that coalition forces are holding more than 100 children in jails such as Abu Ghraib. Witnesses claim that the detainees — some as young as 10 — are also being subjected to rape and torture. (Sunday Herald, Aug.1.2004)

That's what they're doing. Now here's what he said:

...political opponents have been systematically raped as a method of intimidation, and political prisoners have been forced to watch their own children being tortured....Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.

--President Bush, Oct.7. 2002

By our actions, our coalition removed a grave and gathering danger. We also ended one of the cruelest regimes in our time. Saddam's rape rooms and torture chambers and children's prisons are closed forever. His mass graves will claim no victims. The world was right to confront the regime of Saddam Hussein, and we were right to end the regime of Saddam Hussein.

--President Bush before Philippine Congress, Oct.18.2003

The systematic use of rape by Saddam's regime to dishonor families has ended.

--President & Mrs. Bush during event to "globally promote women's human rights", Mar.12.2004

This sickening mess is intentional policy, not aberration. For God's sake, they're doing it all over the place in Iraq, how can it not be policy?

If the president can make a mockery when he speaks about child rape and torture, can there be anything else he says that is not a mockery? I hope to God the citizens of America come to their senses and remove this cruel administration.
