    How we lost a war that was unwinnable to begin with

    I doubt the ending of this foolish madness would be any different had we christians gone in with any millions of our hordes. We would still end up like stupid fucking white men! I overheard a suit at lunch today advise another suit that Baghdad should be nuked so as to finish this mission. Comments like that make me want to sing the National Anthem in Gaelic.
