UK PRISONER OF WAR IN IRAQ GETS 'BUSK SICKNESS'. Current rating: 0
03 Dec 2003
I have a disease called 'Bush Sickness'. It was caught at Buckingham Palace when I saw President Bush. I have 'Bush Sickness' as he killed my finace in Iraq, refuses to help find my child there and his army in Iraq captured / held me for 3 weeks in Iraq, accusing me of terrorism.
The moment I saw the face of President George W. Bush for the very fist time in London last week, I sensed I was in the presence of someone very dark and dangerous, not at all compassionate or loving. I felt sick and immediately developed symptoms of 'Bush Sickness', including a lack of appetite, dizziness and the uncontrollable urge to run in front of his convoy. Thanks to a Turkish journalist friend I did not make the dash for Buckingham Palace, but watch this space! I have never felt this way before but as President George W. Bush continues to ignore my repeated requests for help in finding my half-iraqi daughter in Iraq, as he refuses to acknowledge that his Army killed my girlfriend, as he refuses to meet me and as his army held me as an 'enemy prisoner of war' for three weeks, then my 'Bush Sickness' will not get better. Even though I am a British Citizen I have a worsening case of 'Bush Sickness'.
I am sick of the continued practice he apparently has of hiding from the truth. My dear George, the more you hide, the more sick I become; ultimately you will have to face it, either in a calm, polite manner, or at the District Court in Washington DC where there could be a lot of sick on the floor causing you to slip.
I love the truth Mr President; shall I tell you how to spell it and what it means, or do you have 'Bush Sickness' too?

Can anyone suggest a cure?

Also, why is the corporate media in the USA still ignoring this story?

I am a friend of the American people and care passionately about the truth, but how can a British citizen, in Iraq to search for his missing daughter and to give out soft toys to Iraqi children (with the full knowledge of the CPA in Baghdad and the US Army in Iraq), be captured and held as an "enemy prisoner of war" and "terrorist suspect" for three weeks under 24 hour armed guard?
