Lyrics

I heard your little war speech from beginning to end.
Here's the peoples response, we got a message to send.
More troops to Afghanistan? A flat out sin..
It's an ass backwards pit..with nothing to win.
If we shut 'em down, quick in a couple of weeks
They'd find another place to train their kamikaze freaks.
Our volunteer army is getting the shaft.
There'd be blood in the streets if we still had a draft.
Jacking up the troop level..that an amateur move.
You're not W Bush..You got nothing to prove.
Bring the troops back home we have had enough.
Take karate if you need us to believe that you're tough!
Dick Cheney pulled the strings for Bushes office abuse.
I got a question Barack..What the hell's YOUR excuse?
If you don't bring them home, on your net speaking tour
You'll have another thing the US can apologize for
(Chorus)
Some say let him off the hook...Give Obama a chance. (WHY?)
Let him off the hook cause they like him in France? (WHY?)
Let him off the hook for this military push? (WHY?)
Let him off the hook cause he's not George Bush?
If you're intent on killing soldiers here's what you should do..
Let your bailed out banker buddies do the fighting for you.
Investment bankers in fatigues on a military tour
They're brave with other folks cash, see how they do in a war.
Send your Goldman Sachs Friends, smartest guys in the room.
They'll catch Bin Laden in a minute and be home real soon.
They would learn the truth as they piss their pants in fear!
It's the soldiers that deserve a big bonus this year!
You say in eighteen months our troops will be back.
No offense Mr. President, Are you on crack?
They won't get there 'til August..Your timetables clear.
Any mission worth doing can't be done in a year.
We all criticized Bush for the war in Iraq...
Now that Obama is Prez, Where the protesters at?
When we went into Iraq it made most of us sick.
This time it's even worse..We knew Bush was a dick!
(Chorus)
Another reason we should leave you should already know.
Check our bank account, the U.S. is fresh out of dough.
And who is holding our debt? (if you're keeping score)
We borrow money from Asia to finance this war.
How ironic some might say, others call it a scam,
Japan and China financing our new Vietnam.
This is not the right war, that's an outright lie.
Another guy who never served, sending soldiers to die
We voted out the party that treated war like a game,
What the hell did we get?..Even more of the same.
Killing Moslems in Afghanistan?..It seems a bit odd...
Don't have to kill them just to prove you don't worship their God.
Drag it out like Vietnam, this could really get fun!
Make it last a whole decade. Get your daughter a gun!
Was that a bit close to home oh"Chosen One"?
It probably won't be your daughter, but it might be my son.
The whole world knows the U.S. is on the attack.
Have some decency Obama..Give your Peace Prize back!
A peace prize for Obama?..Go one step more..
Honor Bernie Madoff for helping the poor!
Did Dr. King win then endorse violence and war? 
Mother Theresa didn't take it then steal from the poor.
A Peace Prize for Obama?..A trend is starting here.
I nominate Tiger Woods, for husband of the year
(Chorus)

This is pretty entertaining...

And this is probably the best of the 3, though you may think otherwise...

UK consumer confidence suffers 'astonishing collapse'

Britons' confidence in the economy and their finances has suffered its biggest drop in close to 20 years, raising fears that the Government's austerity onslaught will set off a self-feeding downward spiral.

According to former CIA case officer Bob Baer, "If you want a serious interrogation, you send a prisoner to Jordan. If you want them to be tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear — never to see them again - you send them to Egypt."

I think Don Rumsfeld was a big fan of rendition.

Shout out to Steve from his bud.
