Dear Mr. President

Posted in Politics, Video

So, just in time for Christmas, our illustrious president wants to send even more people over to Iraq. 

In his own words, “Additional sacrifices” are needed to win a war that we are “neither winning nor losing.”

As if nearly 700,000 “sacrifices” aren’t enough.

In the spirit of Mr. Bush’s speech, then, I am sharing this video of images, set to the incredible song “Dear Mr. President” by the incomparable P!NK.  I found this last night on YouTube, and was going to post it anyway as a filler video; but after today’s speech, it takes on an entirely new meaning.
