Well, I've been to Iraq twice now. I was in Baghdad in June and then north of Baghdad in November.

That was not part of the U.N. resolution; it was not part of the mandate to go on to Baghdad and, frankly, if we had gone into Baghdad and pushed Saddam Hussein off, we would have inherited an even bigger mess than the mess we inherited with the refugee problem.

B.o.b.

[dre]
1, 2.. 1, 2, 3; yeah!
In-slum-national, underground
Thunder pounds when i stomp the ground (woo!)
Like a million elephants with silverback orangutans
You can't stop a train
Who want some? don't come un-pre-pared
I'll be there, but when i leave there
Better be a household name
Weather man tellin' us it ain't gon' rain
So now we sittin' in a drop-top, soakin wet
In a silk suit, tryin' not to sweat
Hits somersaults without the net
But this'll be the year that we won't forget
One-nine-nine-nine, ano domini, anything goes, be whatchu wanna be
Long as you know consequences are given for livin - the fence is
Too high to jump in jail
Too low to dig, i might just touch hell - hot!
Get a life, now they gon' sell
Then i might catch you a spell, look at what came in the mail

Reconstruction Left Iraq No Electricity

Reconstruction left
Iraq no electricity
no clean water why?

Tony Blair claimed
reconstruction need
not be rushed.

NATO the military
intentionally targeted
Iraq's water system.

Six years of occupation
later 2009 only oil plus pipelines
had been fixed properly?

Why was humane providing
essential water electricity
to Iraqi's not important?

Baghdad

In your plane in the blue sky
You roam around
Worlds that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
'This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iraq'
The president said, 'Let it ride'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
Warrior, the time bomb's about to go
What will you feel
Will you even wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girlfriend good-bye
The Captain said, 'Kill or die'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad
Great satan, our flags are burning

Its Not True

You say Ive got a wife

You say Ive had help doing
You say Ive had help doing
Everything throughout my life
Everything throughout my life

The eagle's warlike screams
destroy Baghdad babies' dreams
But a peaceful sunrise comes
with His magic wanding beams

55 Miles

55 miles south of modern Baghdad,
Visit me with the wings of love!
For the bombs are now falling on my head,
And i need you to take me home safely.

But all that having been said, you can't, in a city of a million people like Karbala, or 5 million like Baghdad, you can't be in all places at all times.
