Somebody’s five years old today…

Happy Birthday Iraq War!

My, how the time has flown. From the moment you were born you’ve been filling us with shock and awe. Why, it seems like just yesterday you were pulling down statues and toddling around on aircraft carriers. And look at you now!

Who knows? You may even live to be 100!

    Amen, with a side of “I want my country back.”

    Talk about your child of woe.

    But if I may scramble your metaphor…perhaps this isn’t a birth we are marking, but the anniversary of an unholy poly-amorous marriage of (1) fear, (2) neocon Capitalistic Democracy evangelism, and (3) a carbon-fuel-obsessed socio-economic expediency.

    If that is the case, the gift for the fifth anniversary is WOOD.

    Heaven knows they will need it for today’s coffins.
