America at War
"The outcome is not in doubt"
A young couple are buying their first house,
and arguing over which room will be the nursery.
"We have taken Basra."
Driving down route 3 east,
Over a rise and there on the horizon,
The Empire state building rising majestically over the New York skyline.
"Shock and Awe"
A woman sitting on her couch watching the old Bob Newhardt show
On T.V. land
"The fastest moving front line in
the history of warfare."
An old German couple listening to Brahms.
"Iraqi's welcoming U.S. forces."
A man who is fixing up his house that is suddenly to big for him because of his recent divorce.
"Iraq has lit a ring of fire around Bahgdad."
Ali-el-Assad served me a falafel with a smile in downtown Paterson.
"The strategy of Vertical Envelopment."
Two men loading up their Golf clubs and heading off for the club.
"Four Marines die in an ambush."
A young college student moving into an apartment with a High definition TV, computer and very nice stereo.
"Ninety percent of the bombs dropped on Bahgdad were smart bombs, I hope the other ten percent were at least clever ones."
A woman driving with her mirrors pointed at herself, talking on her cell phone and fixing her hair at the same time.
"Saddaam is dead."
Two Chinese girls practicing Lacrosse in the driveway.
"Saddaam is alive."
A guy detailing his car and a puppy getting in the way.
"Saddaam is nowhere to be found."
War is hell.
