Thank You Bush for Making Iraqi's Life Enjoyable!

It is winter.. Rains and cold.. If I can buy fuels for the heaters; many could not… Fuel is very expensive in Iraq now; as if Iraq is not an oil producing country.. there are coupons for getting the fuel yet one should wait at least for three hours to have his share giving 3.5 Iraqi Dinars (about $2)… sometimes the fuel station would close because the cut of the electricity power or the station share of the fuel finished!! So the Iraqi will be forced to buy the same amount from the black market paying 15 000 Iraqi Dinars (about $8); while the daily income of those families under the poverty line is less than $2!! There are cheap electric heaters: the power in being off for 6 hours and almost 1 hour on!! It is true the Iraqis are buying the power from private generators; because of the raising in the fuel prices; 1 Ampere is being sold for 5000- 7000 Iraqi Dinars; the electric heater needs 3 Ampere to work… imagine the poor families in Iraq; those poor who were among the Bush pretexts in his invasion and occupation Iraq…
I could not write more because there is no "governmental power" and the private power will be off at noon.. The owner of the generation is providing power from 10 till noon; and from 4 till midnight.. We accepted the deal otherwise the generator will be tired and we will lose the private power for days waiting repairing the generator…
Thanks Bush; thanks the Iraqi puppet officials and ministers you made our lives more enjoyable!!
