Report Card on Bush and Iraq

OK, let's see. We have the baddest kick ass Army of all time and yet we are stuck going on four years--

American Civil War (1861-1865), four years; World War I (1914-1918), four years; the US Army involvement in WWII, (Dec, 1941-August, 1945), LESS than 4 years--

against a country perceived by many as attacking us with 8 year olds carrying rocks riding camels

with no end in sight and a bill for our 4 years there that would, literally, choke a camel (maybe that is how we will win the war, choking camels with the budget defecit)

and somehow we took our budget SURPLUS and in six years became the biggest debtors on the planet;

we are a country that was once perceived by much of the world as a beacon of light and democracy that now has a reputation--quite justified, too--

as imperialists not much different than Hitler's Germany in the 30's and we also have an administration in charge that probably bombed NYC and DC in 2001 to scare the fuck out of us so they could ram the Gestapo Bill

(what they lovingly call The Patriot Act) up our ass and simultaneously bankrupt the middle class--don't even ask what is happening to those who weren't even middle class before because they are beyond fucked.

Other than that, though, I guess it's not SO bad . . .
