Didn't someone say we won the war in Iraq?
So what's up with all this business of continually re-taking towns? Did someone forget to tell the Iraqis that they lost?

:think:

Someone really needs to tell George that this ain't no way to run a war, much less win one.

2. Damn! We didn't win?
And Bush was looking so HOT in his flight gear. I especially liked whatever the strange getup was between his legs.

3. Well, they have to entertain the pro-war chickenhawks ...
who love to watch war on tv. Most of Bush's 40% support base is comprised of people who would never join the service, but love to watch war on the telescreen. It is the only source of pride in their miserable lives - seeing the USA bomb a 3rd-world country. So it's necessary to bomb a village full of "insurgents" from time to time to keep the pro-war crowd cheerleading the war. Too bad for our troops that the killing of innocent people is just making more terorists.

Meanwhile, Halliburton, Bechtel, et al keep raking in the profits (OUR tax dollars).

Pretty fucked up country we live in. I hope we can get it fixed. But I have doubts.
