BOONDOCKS: An Iraq War Parable

Well, President Bush was in Iraq yesterday and it appears he is ready to declare victory again but this time start withdrawing some troops. It wouldn't surprise me if did a massive withdrawal to take the heat off the GOP in '08, and then tell the new president (and the nation) that Iraq is in great condition and anything that goes wrong from this point on is not his responsibility. Mission Accomplished!

I remember as a kid reading parables but we don't get much of that as adults but here is one about the lead up to the Iraq War from the TV Cartoon "The Boondocks". In this clip, a few characters pay an unscheduled and unecessaary visit a convenience store (which symbolizes Iraq). Like so many cartoons these days it has very harsh language and violence, but I think that you'll find it an apt comparison of how we all were pulled into this mess.
