Bomb Bomb Iraq: Sung to the tune of If You're Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands:

If we cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets hurt your Mama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are Saudi
And the bank takes back your Audi
And the TV shows are bawdy,
Bomb Iraq.

If the corporate scandals growin', bomb Iraq.
And your ties to them are showin', bomb Iraq.
If the smoking gun ain't smokin'
We don't care, and we're not jokin'
That Saddam will soon be croakin',
Bomb Iraq.

Even if we have no allies, bomb Iraq.
From the sand dunes to the valleys, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections
Let's look tough for the elections
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

While the globe is slowly warming, bomb Iraq.
Yay! the clouds of war are storming, bomb Iraq.
If the ozone hole is growing
Some things we prefer not knowing
(Though our ignorance is showing),
Bomb Iraq.

So here's one for dear old daddy, bomb Iraq,
From his favorite little laddy, bomb Iraq.
Saying no would look like treason
It's the Hussein hunting season
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

All networks underreported the numbers, and the mistakes coincidentally were always in the direction of minimizing the demonstrations.
TILT! BS detector went off.

The media generally is no friend of the gov't. Much of it despises Bush. Why report low demonstration numbers?

I've seen several demonstrations in the area where I live. The numbers reported were in the low hundreds to low thousands. That definitely matched my impression. They were small- -not like the masses that could be gathered for the Vietnam demonstrations. Apparently most people simply are not against the war enough to show up.

Remember the WTO demonstrations in Seattle? Those were reported as large and destructive. Not small and picayune.

vote-counting fraud
An old American tradition. It's not how you vote that counts, it's how the votes are counted. Remember JFK? Defeated Nixon because of Illinois electoral votes. Won Illinois because of Chicago's votes. Which were highly suspect. Mayor Richard Daley, of 1968 Democratic Party Convention fame, ran the show. The Democrats in FL badly hurt themselves by hauling his son in to help out there. The first theing that crossed people's mind was "fraud".
