I want my wars served to me in prime time.
Give me my bombings in night vision,
the green is exciting, don’t you think?
Dress it up real nice fellas, I’m talking
flashy headlines, drums, the works.
Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Oh, look at that, we have more flag icons than they do,
that’s comforting.
What are they thinking anyway, don’t they know
that we have more flag icons than they do?
Aren’t they shocked?
In awe of our precision destruction?
None of that mass stuff here.
We’re Americans.
The million remote march on Baghdad has begun.

excellent portrail of the lastest media blitz and the public relations experts behind it...so true of all sides.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
