IEDs The International Atomic Energy Commission and European Union officials warned Bush before the war that Al Qaqaa (guarded by U.N. since 1990) explosives needed to be safeguarded (377 tons of super-powerful explosives, HMX and RDX, which can be used to detonate atomic bombs and were cited by the Bush administration as dual-use materials reasons to invade), but Bush allowed them to disappear from an unguarded al-Qaqaa to be a resource for IEDs.

Free the Iraqi people We freed them of jobs, safety (rampant kidnapping for ransom), electricity, plumbing, poor hospitals (sanctions), and the chance to drive to work without the fear of Sunni / Shi'ite / American soldiers shooting them.

Freedom International calls and the Internet monitored, Citizens held incommunicado for 17 months without warrant, grand jury, habeas corpus, or trial, while innocent, violating the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments.

Tools to fight Terrorism Bush t wants to use techniques deemed torture and inhumane, risking our soldiers to treatment by whatever others may choose to claim is within the Geneva Convention.

Integrity Kenneth Lay now "innocent", Martha Stewart did time.

Homeland Security
In 2005 $30 million (leaving $6M) was reallocated from the Southern California National Forests removal of bark beetle killed trees for fire safety. We know towns and cities are not reimbursed for the huge overtime bills from DHS mandates, especially during Orange alerts, so overtime money not available for pursuing a murderer.
