While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, the Philippines and west Africa defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President George W. Bush pledges to rebuild the al-Askari Mosque that had been bombed the previous day, in Samarra, Iraq.

       NOTE: This made Bush the first president to raise a Mosque and raze a Church (Indianapolis Baptist Temple).
