"...I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma ..."
President George Bush,

Only ONE Iraqi was admitted to the United States as an immigrant last year.
NO Democratic and Republican candidates for President in 2008 served in the military and three do not believe in evolution.

Memorial Day Verses 2007 (from RevBludge, DailyKos)
The Last of Bush's Volunteers
[To the tune of "Barrett's Privateers"]
Oh the year it was two thousand two
I wish they were in Gitmo now!
A story all forged, a tale untrue
From the scummiest crew I ever knew,
God Damn them all! I was sold
On the smoking gun Saddam did hold
Now I'm a broken man with PTSD,
The last of Bush's volunteers.
Oh Cheney and Rice cried "mushroom cloud",
I wish they were in Gitmo now!
And the War President stood there and vowed
A lie to the Congress right out loud,
God Damn them all! "He has WMDs
That are aimed at the heart of our fair countree!"
Now I'm a broken man in Walter Reed,
The last of Bush's volunteers.
Oh, Colin Powell was a plausible tool.
I wish he was in Gitmo now!
A-talking of tubes and yellowcake,
And Tenet behind him to support the fake
God Damn them all! Those aluminum tubes;
And we swallowed it all like a bunch of rubes,
Now I'm a broken man all scarred and seared,
The last of Bush's volunteers.
Oh the year it was two thousand three,
I wish they were in Gitmo now!
When I rode in armorless Humvee
And we hit that motherfucking IED
God Damn them all! I was sold,
And the missiles flew and the tanks they rolled
Now I'm a broken double amputee,
The last of Bush's volunteers.
The HumVee bucked and pitched on her side.
Oh I wish they were in Gitmo now!
The Sergeant was smashed like a bowl of eggs,
And the bomb blast carried off both my legs.
God Damn them all! They sent me a bill
For my missing gear; twas a bitter pill
Now I'm a broken man and it appears,
I'm the last of Bush's volunteers.
So we searched for a year through the heat and sand
Oh I wish Bush was in Gitmo now!
But their "smoking gun" never came to hand
Now the Army says I owe them eight grand
God Damn them all! They knew, they knew
But they got their war and the missiles flew
Now I'm a broken man and it appears,
I'm the last of Bush's volunteers.
So here I sit in my twenty-third year.
I wish they were in Gitmo now!
It's been four years since we sailed away.
They just closed my hometown VA.
God Damn them all! Sometimes I dream
Of the Humvee exploding and hear Sarge scream
And I wake up cold and full of tears,
I'm the last of Bush's volunteers.
