For those of you keeping track yesterday (May 1) was the three year anniversary of the end of the war in Iraq. Three years since "Mission Accomplished" put to end that chapter in American history. So happy V-I day everyone! I celebrated by being thankful for the peaceful, prosperous, and democratic nation Iraq has become, a true beacon at the center of the middle east. I then went out to fill my car with all that cheap Iraqi oil that has been flowing like water for the past three years. Then, while driving around on all that cheap gas, I passed an armory and noticed how empty it seemed, what with all the national guard troops at home with their families. All of them no doubt keeping in their memory books the flowers they were greeted with when they marched triumphantly through the streets of Baghdad, Ramahadi, Fallujah...

And then I woke up.

Three years of war and all we have to show for it are 2,400 dead Americans, countless dead Iraqis, 350 billion wasted tax dollars, and unheard of profits for oil companies and defense contractors. Oh well I'm sure we'll have forgotten all about that when we are marching on Tehran. That one has to go better, the Iranians love Americans...right?

My country went to war in Iraq and all I got was this stupid president
