  1. Bush wants more weapons by rastamutz · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Stupid Bush says he wants to go to mars (in 2015?)... they don't want to pay for hubble the ISS & the space shuttle anymore. His father said the same thing... They just want to turn Nasa into the new kill 'em all weapon factory. Just like raytheon, Boeing & all the others... i hope he gets shot down soon
