It may not look so great today, what with the smoking hood and all, but it's a vehicle for the ages.
Would you buy a used car from this man? (Hint…

“We gather tonight knowing that this generation of
heroes has made the United States safer and more
respected round the world.” 
(President Barack Obama, State of the Union address,
24th January 2012.)


As Easter was
celebrated in the US and UK with, for believers, the
message of hope, Fallujah, the region and much of

US mass murderers, but by the US proxy government’s
militias armed with US delivered weapons. In 2003, a
month into the invasion, Easter Day fell on the same
day as this year, 20th April, as Iraqis of all
denominations and none, died were incarcerated,
tortured, found with their heads drilled, or no
