| #2 "In enterprise of martial kind, when there was any fighting, He lead his regiment from behind - he found it less exciting. But when away his regiment ran, his place was at the fore-o, That celebrated, cultivated, nobleman - the Duke of Plaza Toro. .... When to evade destruction's hand, to hide they all proceeded, No soldier in that gallant band hid half as well as he did. He lay concealed throughout the war, and so preserved his gore-O, that ..... the Duke of Plaza Toro. ..... When told that they would all be shot unless they left the service, Our hero hesitated not - so marvelous his nerve is, He sent his resignation in - the first of all his corp-O, That ...... the Duke of Plaza Toro.

| #1 Fighters like Abu Haritha and activists like Shaaban and Yakan speak in almost mythical tones about what they call the resistance in Iraq. In nearly every conversation, they make the assertion that the United States has, at this point, lost the war. Yeah and these guys were in Falluja. Whats the matter? Got a little too hot for you there? The 72 virgins weren't looking all that appealing? Why didn't you make your stand against the Great Satan? Its easy enough to declare that the US has lost in Iraq when you've fled away a safe distance to the comfort of your home country. What a bunch of pussies! |
