1. HOW MANY MORE GEORGIE, HOW MANY MORE?

Masters Of War

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks.

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly.

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain.

You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion'
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud.

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins.

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do.

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul.

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead.

-- Bob Dylan

2. Pile em high!

~~Grass~~ Bush

Pile the bodies high in ~~Austerlitz and Waterloo~~ Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the ~~grass;~~ bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in ~~Gettyburg~~ Baghdad
And pile them high in ~~Ypres and Vedum~~ Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the ~~grass~~ bush.
Let me work.

3. What is "A Multi-National Division - Baghdad Soldier "?

Another way to try and hide the fact another US soldier has died in the illegal occupation of Iraq. There is a very obvious desperation showing in this pathetic attempt to avoid using the words "US soldier", imo.

4. MNF-I - their mission

"...MISSION

In partnership with the Iraqi Government, MNF-I conducts full-spectrum counter-insurgency operations to isolate and neutralize former regime extremists and foreign terrorists, and organizes, trains, and equips Iraqi security forces in order to create a security environment that permits the completion of the UNSCR 1546 process on schedule..."

That says it all
