1. I'll have to check with Mr. Bush...do Americans CRY now?

I mean, the great thing about Americans is that we cry when children are blown up by IEDs. He didn't mention what we're supposed to do when airmen are killed.

2. This is NOT BAD NEWS to "conservatives"

They do not give a fuck if our kids die in the desert. Their only concern is the health of the republican party. If someone else's kids must die so bush can be an idiot and continue to stay the (wrong) course, so be it.

I doubt there is any news coming out of Iraq that is bad news to a "conservative." Except maybe the release of the CSM reporter who happens to speak Arabic. Please, someone tell my why a newspaper would send a reporter to file stories from an Arabic country who knows how to speak the local language. How fucking unamerican is that?

4. In an undisclosed location with "other priorities"

like reaping a fortune from Halliburton stock that he doesn't profit from. Like they say, once a dick, always a dick...

5. Pile the bodies high!

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.
