1. Is there a difference between a "Task Force Freedom Soldier"...

and a plain old "soldier'?

I'm trying hard to keep up with my military and poltical bureaucratic newspeak.

3. "BRING EM ON" shouted the AWOL CHIMPANZEE

As he prepared to dine on filet Mignon and "Freedom Fries"

4. While on dismounted patrol? Is this a new term for foot soldier?

So when your in the saddle does that mean your mounted on a tank, a truck, a humvee, or on your first Sargent's back?

5. Providing "freedom" for rich oil execs and gas guzzlers to piss

away natural resources for as long as it lasts. What freedom could be more precious.

6. So it goes and goes and goes and goes

It's not a consolation, but, they've ran through so many lies as too why we're in Iraq they've desparately gotten closer to the real reason, OIL lots and lots of OIL.

Oh, and to prove that lil boots* has a bigger one than poppy, though I don't think that will be admitted to by anyone but historians.

edit: sometimes this keyboard balks I caught it this time8888*****.

7. Let Katrina not overshadow Iraq
