Yes people, the Iraq war is still going on. People are still being bombed by US forces in Iraq. Innocent people are still being terrorized and made homeless because Bush the Idiot wants to avenge his doddering old daddy and make the middle east safe for western corporations. Iraqi's are still with out decent medical care (hell, so are most Americans), without electricity, without schools, without roads, without farms, while a billion dollar embassy/compound/playground is being built for American diplomats in Baghdad.
We're still making a generation of Iraqi children look like this:
A generation of Iraqi parents are doing this: 
Americans, Brits, and others are still coming home looking like this:
While more and more of our men and women are coming home like this:
So remember all that when you hear Bush McCain, Bush the Idiot, and Traitor Joe claim we're winning in Iraq and that we'd win easily if and when we bomb Iran. And as food and gas prices creep ever higher as we march toward the general election in the fall, remember which candidate said that it would be okay with him if we stayed in Iraq for a hundred years (in case you forgot, it was the one who called his wife a cunt) and who is being advised by the people who are behind the high corporate profits and high prices being brought to you by those same corporations.Out of Iraq now, end the war now, corporate oversight now, vote Obama in '08.

That was really quite sobering.
I can only hope that more Americans remember all this--or even KNOW all this. Just this morning, I was hearing that Obama is sending out volunteers to register more black voters in the mostly republican South, and all I could think was, "why in the HELL would poor people of ANY color vote repug? Oh yeah, they're ignorant of the facts, thanks to the repug spin and the media's idiocy."
Pictures worth thousands of words!
and pictures they don't want you to see or think about.
When did McCain call his wife a cunt?
I don't know, I've become used to being treated like a used kleenex.
It's become my comfort zone now.
I'm looking forward to my tax dollars being split into two line items marked "war" and "corporate welfare," with the rest of my disposable income being used to barely eke out my miserable existence.
Also, freedom is frankly just too scary for me to handle anyways, so they can have that, too.

Actually it does work as long as you don't include the words "to find out about the time he called her a cunt."
The Mailman and I were just talking this morning about how the war has been pushed onto the back burner, if not removed from the kitchen altogether.
boosh, there we go! thanks
I was thinking about this very issue while scrubbing my old van. What I've decided is that the neocons have done a remarkably evil but very good job of getting narrow minded Americans to fear gays, arabs, muslims, blacks, liberals, environmentalists, atheists, and anyone else who doesn't suck up to their earth-killing greedy agenda.
We must remind America who came up with the concept of weekends, workmen's comp, family leave, unions, unemployment benefits, overtime pay, inspected meat, safe roads, etc. It sure wasn't any conservative.
Holy Double Standard, Batman!
I really think that this will be a historic election, either way that it goes. The choice can't be clearer.
Excellent post, Dr. I wish you could syndicate it and have it put on the front page of every newspaper in America. My heart bleeds for all the injured and maimed civilians in Iraq and our troops. I wish the evil bastards who started this mess would be forced to look at and minister to these poor wrecked soldiers every single day for the rest of their lives. (By "minister to" I mean empty their bedpans, cleanse their wounds, look at their scars without flinching, help to feed and bathe the ones who can no longer do so themselves, etc. And apoligize to them (and their families)over and over and over again.
