The Global Satanic Government's (The CIA) Used War Salesman Obushma The George W Bush Carbon Copy does it by Creating More Wars so he can Cross Contaminate the Earth with DU, Legalizing Whaling, and Granting Increased Offshore Drilling so we can have Oodles of Oil Spills on our National Seashores from Sea to Oily Sea.
