[Arkinsaw]

For the folks over a DU, just for them:

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

[Bob]

Third stanza? You sure don't hear that one too often.

Great verse!

Fox is reporting that my beloved Tony Blair has confirmed it is Saddam. Tried to wake up hubby & the kid to tell them. I guess after the press conference I can call my early bird friend and tell her. I could probably call her right now, but I'll wait a bit.
