TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: With all the denials being put forth by the Bush administration regarding Geneva Convention violations in the US run prisons, nobody is mentioning the fact that according to the Geneva Conventions an occupying force is responsible for the security of the occupied nation.

12,000 civilians have been killed as a result of America’s actions in Iraq. That’s 4 September 11ths to you flag wavers. For you George W. Bush Christians out there that’s 12,000 people who have been the subject of extremely late term abortions (in other words full, not partial birth abortions). Another way of looking at it is that our actions resulted in 12,000 Teri Schiavo life ending interventions. Where are all the pro-life people? Can they be any more hypocritical? Can they support a more anti-life person than George W. Bush? Can the media ignore this hypocrisy any more than they already do? I think not. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
