I have so much respect for America but the war is wrong, so wrong. You were dragged into a war that was unjust as we were here in the UK. Respect to you all your families and your dead and your wounded. Please believe me when I say at least you and your government treats your vets with the respect they deserve unlike what is happening in the UK.
God Bless

Yes, the video disturbs.
Yes, it is angry.
It speaks to a pain that few in this nation want to confront.
If this this disturbs you, if it makes you uncomfortable, maybe it will cause your action.
These are not comfortable times.

The "cloak-and-dagger" agenda of these Global-Carpetbagging cleptocrats MUST STOP! Our troops have been held hostage by a "Commander-'n-Thief ", whose proclamation on 05/ 01/ 03 of "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" is Neo-Con subtext to critical insiders w/in the Bush regime that the Ruse had been run(and must continue).The real title should be : "FICTION ACCOMPLISHED! "

I think it was Forest Gump who said (stupid is as stupid does) that sounds exactly like bush and cheney, two IDIOTS who should be IMPEACHED. Thank you.

It’s been four years since George “Ramjet” Bush showed up seven months late for a Halloween party on the deck of the Abraham Lincoln. He came dressed as a pilot and spent the afternoon pretending to be a great military strategist returning from a glorious military campaign bearing the news of victory. “Mission Accomplished,” he grinned. But to anyone who was actually thinking, neither the outfit nor the act was convincing. Ironically, however, this was a rare instance in which George wasn’t lying….. exactly. While the rest of us considered the mission to be the overturn of Saddam, the pacification of Iraq, and our soldiers’ return home, George’s mission was simply to stick America’s arm in the meat grinder, assuming it’s heart and mind would follow. And that he had accomplished. Through a program of intelligence “fixing” and a consistent pounding of conclusions so illogical that a mollusk could see their shortcomings, he had convinced a cowardly and unwise U.S. Congress to trust him with the authority to declare war. Declaring war is the congress’ job, not the President’s. It is a grave decision and as different as pulling the trigger to execute someone is from handing a gun to someone else for that purpose. Congress stared on in horror as Bush betrayed his solemn promise to exhaust all other means before pulling the trigger. Four years ago, on May 1, 2003, the troops were stuck, the congress was culpable in this act of unspeakable stupidity and, for the moment, in some small minds, George Bush was a great military strategist returning from a glorious military campaign bearing the news of victory. “Mission Accomplished.” A more appropriate banner on the Lincoln’s tower would have read, “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday” with a subscript in Arabic reading “God is Great.”

This was COOL. I'm not really into rap, but still liked the power and form of the poetry.

Hi
That video is disturbing on a couple levels. One, the angry rap voice feels like a closed wall, oppressive, dogmatic. Two, one of the media-stories this rapper believes in and repeats, that Bin Laden is everything the CheneyBushCIA media claims, contradicting clear observation, evidence and common sense, speaks of a naive ignorance that throws his whole rap message into doubt.
My two cents :-) --
ps
How about some videos that help us imagine the world we WANT? Instead of "down with hateful facism" how about "up with loving cooperation"? I think people need help visualizing a world where we help each other get what we want and need, our minds are so filled with the other dark images of powerlessness and non-responsibility.
Keep up your good work!!!
I especially like your FOX NEWS material, the WAL-MART piece and the IRAQ FOR SALE film. But when the piece feels like a closed-minded emotional tirade, i feels my own protective barriers going up.

When George landed on the "Lincoln"
Was like he’d never left the Guard.
Propelled by a macho swagger
He calls “Texas Walk'n,”
Mean and hard.

Crowing, Mission Accomplished,
He ignored Mullahs growing hot
Like Weapons of Mass Destruction
Them fanatics didn't mean squat.

Our troops could bask in glory,
Their job was just about done.
He’d “Houdini-ed” them nu-cue-ler weapons,
And old ’Ben Ladin was on the run.

Then nasty stuff began to happen.
Nothing went the way he’d planned.
The Mission began unravel’n,
Roadside-deep in Saddam’s sand.

Reality deflated Dubya's happy tune
Sending Chicken Hawk Cheney up a tree
Suicide bombers blew holes
In plans to set Eye-rackeys free

Can the Mission ever be accomplished?
This bloody misadventure ever won?
When Dubya can Texas Walk in Baghdad,
That’s the day, it will be done.

The video was very good, but knock of the rap. Good Luck

No offense, and I understand that you're attempting to reach "young people", but this "spoken word/rap" video is really irritating.
I honestly couldn't sit through the entire thing.

Hopefully this video will do some good because the message is spot-on, but it's delivery may turn off some viewers, as it comes across a wee bit preachy and aggressive in it's style.

I don't mean to offend. Keep up your good work.
