"Cry havoc" - *bush's speech translated
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Iraq and Iran;
Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter’d with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry ‘Havoc,’ and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

- Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 1

3. The Bard was so prescient. Did he sense a Bush in the future when he
had Anthony (I think it must have been Anthony) speak those words?

7. Shakespeare understood men in power
And what happens to everyone else when they fuck up. That's why, even hundreds of years later, he still sells out theatres.

9. This would be better spoken in the original Klingon
English makes it sound wimpy.

Bush needs more Klingons for speech-writing and press-relations. Cheney is not enough.

:rofl:

10. Will is good, but I prefer Ozzy
War Pigs
Black Sabbath

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!
