The media including Reuters are defining the two words “MURDER” and “KILL” again and again in their releases:

MURDER: verb, to guiltily kill any American people

KILL: verb, to physically eliminating any plant, animal or people of countries other than the US

The Oxford and Webster might consider revising their dictionaries.

I feel sick about our ugly media and pressmen.

Karzai is our puppet. He’s also addicted to hashish. He’s also presided over one of the greatest transfers of wealth out of the country. Really think it cost 20 million dollars to build a school there? No! it cost 60k dollars and 19.9 million is transferred to banks in the UAE.

What a scam.
