The Battle of Cuba

26-07-2004 08:53

Failing in opinion polls, high on Jesus, haemorrhaging incompetence and in delusion and denial over Iraq, Bush is staring down the barrel of political oblivion. All seems lost. Unless of course, in desperation, Mr. “I’m a war President” decides to go to war. Again.

News and photos from Afghanistan

A Butcher
So the elections are now on 9^th October 2004. These are the presidential ones.
