Bush and company are a gang of Mass Murderers

It's long, but it makes the point George W. Bush is, by definition and in reality, a Mass Murder.
Stephen D at Booman Tribune:

Let's be honest with ourselves. The invasion of Iraq has led to the deaths of thousands upon thousands of Iraqi men, women and children. Many of those deaths were caused directly by America's armed forces during both the initial invasion and in subsequent military operations as the war morphed into an occupation, operations which continue as we speak. American tax dollars were also used to train and supply Shi'ite death squads which has led to the further slaughter of Sunnis in Iraq. And, as is the case with all wars, many people have died due to disease, the lack of proper medical care, shelter and/or food caused by the violence. Add in the use of napalm and white phosphorus munitions, and the cut off of all supplies of medicine and water to Fallujah prior to the American assault on that city which Bush ordered, and we have a sufficient number of of dead people to satisfy the "mass" side of the equation.

Therefore, the only real issue regarding the usage of the phrase mass murderer is whether that multitude of deaths can be rightly deemed "murders" for which Mr. Bush and his enablers should be held responsible.

Like a loose bit of yarn on a sweater, pulling on it tugs at a whole bunch of other things involving the Bush Junta's extreme politicization of the Justice Department — not to mention the rest of the Federal government – and the extreme efforts made by the top players to avoid facing any kind of penalties for wrongdoing.

Four Simple Truths to Advance in Your Dialogue with Those in Denial

...there are four simple truths to bear in mind -- repeat them to yourself when you are at a loss, and articulate them at every opportunity to those who are still avoiding reality:

The evidence continues to mount, and the case is compelling.

There is a clearly defined and realizable alternative to the paralyzing triad of apathy, despair and complicity.

The way forward demands that the governments, industries and financial institutions of the great nations take responsibility and lead, and so far they are not doing so.

Meanwhile, the delusional denial and wanton dissemination of disinformation continues.
