But our guy wears an American flag lapel pin

So who would you say has done more to damage America and the world in the last eight years?

Osama bin Laden - Blew up two expensive buildings in New York and destroyed four airplanes (total cost perhaps $1 billion), killed approximately 4000 Americans.

George Bush - Responsible for the death of well over 4000 Americans in Iraq, with approximately 60,000 American service people injured. Psychological damage to hundreds of thousands of American troops. Iraqi deaths somewhere between 50,000 and 700,000 depending on which liars you believe. Confirmed (UN sources) refugee/homeless count: approximately 2.5 million Iraqis inside Iraq, approximately 2.5 million Iraqis outside Iraq. Estimated current costs of the Iraqi war: $5 billion PER WEEK. Estimated long-term costs of the war: $3 TRILLION dollars, which Americans will be paying for decades.

==================================

So if, as is widely believed, Osama is the pre-eminent criminal of our time, what does that make the man who has killed HUNDREDS of times as many people and who has cost Americans THOUSANDS of times more money?
