My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and I...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Just what the hell you thinking,
Your head is up your butt.
This punishment youre seeking,
Makes you, look like nut.
He didnt harm a single soul,
He only saved some lives.
A few more soldiers, wholl go home,
And grow old with their wives.
How can you drag him through the dirt,
While sitting in your chair?
I for one am glad that he,
Not you, was over there
Our soldiers fight our nations wars,
And this man is the best.
Stop your persecution of,
Lieutenant Colonel West

This is war afterall, so he skeered the little terrorist into opening his trap. I think from what I have read so far that this is very unjust.

honest burglar. --H. L. Mencken
Well, I think President Bush is "A good politician," certainly a good man.

No mortal is perfect. GWB has a good heart. You can see the sincerity in his eyes. When I saw the video of him being notified on 9/11 of the planes. I told everyone "that man is going to do what needs to be done if we'll just let him." It was his face that made me say that.
No smirky "I feel your pain" BS from him.
