    Um, that one black guy actually believed it... or am I missing something?

  • Amber 3 years ago
    kinda sad, even though a good movie the people believed it. the ones with families in the war might have been overjoyed then crushed the second they found out the truth... think about these things before they're done.

    As the sister of a soldier in the army I did not find this funny at all. The headline about the war ending grabbed my attention and I was quite shaken getting on the train this morning when I realized it was a hoax.
    I am a big fan of the yes men and have been against this war from the start. I also think I have a sense of humor but this was deeply insensitive to those of us who have loved ones directly affected by the war in Iraq.

    Who are they fighting?
    Obama has expressed it already,
    and will change..
    Thats what we were fighting for,
    Thats our stake,
    Obama was the one, who spoke everything openly,
    and toured the country,
    Obama takes the pride,
    It makes me sad, also because,
    Reproaches against the Bush Administration,
    turn into Demands, to a new Leader,
    who presents us with a better America,
    why presserising yourself now,
    take it slow..
    fight your frustration and be patient..

    How about they are actually not "fighting" anybody?

    I have a question, who are we fighting in Iraq? That the war would just be over? Only the ignorant, and the ignorant Left could fall for this.

    If you think I'm just another Right Wing idiot, you're wrong. Answer the question, who are we fighting in Iraq? If you don't know, then you are part of the problem.
