I was just strolling through my day, singing repeatedly, "Support the Troops, Support the Troops, Support the Troops," when suddenly I seem to have stumbled into a pothole.

If I told you that, during WWII the Nazi’s kidnapped the wives of suspected French Resistance fighters, and held them hostage until their husbands surrendered, you’d find that plausible, yes?  But if I told you the US Army was doing that in Iraq – now – you wouldn’t believe it, right?  Believe it.

Oh yes, it be a pothole alright.  A quagmire extraordinaire.  I predicted this when the war started back in early 2003.  I said that you can’t send good young people off to war and expect to get back anything but good young people who have been changed by war.  I’m not blaming them — though this is really unconscionable shit right here — nor saying they should be court-martialed or ostracized or anything like that. War is insane, and I’m just saying end the damn war. 

And Impeach Bush.
