a lion's heart...
There was Richard the Lionheart, pissed off with Saladin's Muslim hordes, about eight hundred years ago... Richard, King of England... Crusader King...
Not unlike George Bush, or Tony Blair, or our very own Man Of Steel, The Right Honorable John Howard.
Well, actually there is a wee bit of a difference...
Richard went Crusading himself. He went into battle with his troops. He risked his sorry ass in a big way. He personally took part in the battles.
These Three Amigos? These wannabe modern Crusaders? Oh, they sneak into Baghdad, like thieves, in the dead of night on top secret flights, do their dirty deeds, and then sneak back out again, under equal secrecy. Not until they're back on safe ground are the media images of these "brave leaders" released.
Their subjects swoon with admiration...
Pass me that bucket please...

General John at the head of his troops.
That should boost the desertion rate and wipe out recruiting.
Ahhh... It's so good to see that this blog is still a major, major chick magnet... Hush, my gibbering libido...
JahTeh, you conjure up images of our Dear Leader which would rival a Moir cartoon...
Link, yes, I too will risk the wrath of our new sedition laws and go on the record to say that Saddam has more integirity than the combined integrity of the Three Amigos. Those lying, obfuscating, oil-thieving, mass-murdering bastards!
Love the cartoon especially the eyebrows of doom but he missed giving him a forked tongue.
Didn't the hypocrites look good at the soldier's funeral?
I hope you read all of the transcript of Colbert's pillorisation of GW: This is a man who stand for many things... Above all he stands ON things.
Unsane, I did go here after your prompt:

And when I get broadband, I might even look at videos.
