Ummmm, that wasn't a TV show.

LOL! The self made hypocrite.

 WD> The most successful anti-GWB person is an American.

"I don't own a single share of stock," Michael Moore declares. No, his tax
returns show he has owned hundreds of thousands -- profiting from some of
the very companies (like Halliburton and Boeing) he viciously denounces

How Moore's working-class, "regular guy" pose is contradicted by his
lavish lifestyle and prima donna behavior -- such as traveling the country
in a private jet accompanied by a fleet of private SUVs and bodyguards

Moore also relentlessly exposes those who fail to meet his standards of
racial fairness and equality. So, of the 134 producers, editors,
cinematographers, composers, and production coordinators Moore has hired
to work on his many movies, how many do you think were black?

That isn't an exclusive of any President.

Because he's only the VP...

Yeah, if anybody is to persecute the masses, they have to be uropeons.

 WD> The US "significantly contributed" but please do not overdo it.

He didn't. Without the US, Germany or Russian would be your master today.

 WD> For WW1 there are quite accurate numbers here with 30,912 known

To name just a few.

 WD> The American Flanders Fields cemetary in Waregem (Belgium) has 368

Of course, they were in it from the beginning. Course, you should know by
now that; only fools rush in...

 WD> Tyne Cot cemetary carries the names of another 35,000 Commonwealth

No big deal. They were cast to the fates dealt by Germany.

 WD> Please do not overdo the effort, the US contributed significantly but

All by herself.

 WD> Every single casualty is one too many, the British and French

Unfortunately, the Brits hadn't yet learned to leave the French alone when
they're losing a war. Which is every one, all the time.

Wrong, the US supplied them and others with war materials, which were
never paid for.
