Iraq authorities detained 1,350 children in 2007: Report --Iraq children 'paying high price' for Bush occupation. Two million children in Iraq are facing threats including poor nutrition, lack of education, disease and violence, the UN children's agency, Unicef, has said. Hundreds were killed in violence during 2007, while 1,350 were detained by the authorities, it said in a new report. Unicef said more than 4m children were vaccinated 'against' polio and 3m 'against' measles. [There's no electricity, food, water, or education in Baghdad, but Bush made sure 7 million Iraqi children got their mandatory doses of mercury, formaldehyde - and God knows what else - while his pharma-terrorists make a killing. That's part of the 'quiet corporate genocide' that Bush wages every day against the Iraqi people. --LRP]

The Iran President is now seen more honest then George W. Bush. This is the second time the US has lied to the United Nations. Now as for the CIA information well it's all made up for the White House to invade oil rich countries. Even our troops know the illegal invasion was not about Iraq Freedom or WMD it was to take control of oil rights for American big businesses.
