Edit: You know, I just heard prez say something on CNN that wigged me out. He yelled at the press corps and basically said that as long as he was president that no one is leaving Iraq until the mission is accomplished. Can you explain to me what exactly the mission is and when it will be accomplished? Is it depleting the entire population of 30-somethings? Nothing's changed in that part of the world, except a lot of us have friends who have come home as emotional wrecks. Do you know what it's like to have a friend talk to you in the wee hours of the night on a weeknight, wasted and crying? Babbling about stuff and not wanting to go into detail about the guts, the bodies burned to a crisp, the bones snapped off, the compound fractures and extremity stumps, the natives who take shots at you when you aren't even save on your own base?

I hate bringing up politics, because they're useless, but...I mean. C'mon.

In case the video in my earlier post was lost on you, check the lyrics to Dead American from Lars Frederiksen and The Bastards. It's how I feel everytime the news comes on now and they announce that another young person has been blown to bits.

Trench warfare dug in deep brutal bloody No retreat
American dead better than red another politician with a debt on his head
Bodies ripped covered in shit Napalm blitz the City is lit
Bombs blast mustard gas throat slash truncheon smash

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Another story about another dead American...
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Another story about another dead American...
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey One more story about another dead American

Blitzkrieg flames buildings ablaze killings fields where the bodies decay
Torture racks machine gun racks never surrender it's an all-out attack
Money whores open sores plan quiet wars behind closed doors
Clandestine games human remains cyanide genocide

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Another story about another dead American...
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Another story about another dead American...
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey One more story about a dead American

Yo G-nif, here's a video for you and I to derive some inspiration.
