In contrast, Bush the Second didn’t/doesn’t know how many Iraqi civilian lives have been lost in his war of choice.
So, the supine court put him in office in 2000, and the media hid the Walter Reed Medical Center scandal, among others, so Bush the Second could get a second term, aided and abetted by all those who voted for him.
