I might add a scene, Steve –

“And what did we get in return?” And show flag draped caskets being rolled up the ramp of the same aircraft.

I do think this has real potential for a 15-second campaign commercial against just about any Republican who backed Bush’s war… that would be, lemme see, all of ’em. Camera pans around partially filled cargo bay, stops focused on what’s being loaded… pallets of hundred dollar bills (enhance the green and zoom in, so no one can mistake what they are). Voiceover: “This is what [GOP Candidate X] does with your tax dollars.” Switch to shot of plane landing, overlay map of Iraq. (Label it IRAQ, just in case anyone doesn’t recognize it.) Voiceover again: “And now they’re gone. Stolen. Don’t you think we can use our tax dollars better at home? So does [Dem Candidate Y]. …”

History? They don’t need no stinkin’ history. The neocons know it all, and have no use for the lessons the past might teach them.
