Stories from the Iraq war that you probably haven't seen before, and aren't likely to see in the major media. Remember, kids, THE MEDIA LIES TO YOU TO PROTECT THE GOVERNMENT. Not always and not everyone, but most of them, most of the time. Think for yourself. Know what smells like shit and be prepared to sniff it out. Don't trust anyone who's got a vested interest in the status quo. All the old rules.

Okay, out for T-Day @ Buttons' dad's place. Have fun and I'll talk to you sometime tomorrow.
