What Medium Do You Work In?

Blood and guts, naturally:

An American general in Baghdad called Iraq a "work of art" in progress yesterday in one of the most extraordinary attempts by the US military leadership to put a positive spin on the worsening violence.

On a day in which 49 people were killed or found dead around the country, Major General William Caldwell, the chief military spokesman, argued that Iraq was in transition, a process that was "not always a pleasant thing to watch.

"Every great work of art goes through messy phases while it is in transition. A lump of clay can become a sculpture. Blobs of paint become paintings which inspire," Maj Gen Caldwell told journalists in Baghdad's fortified green zone.

What a piece of work.  I sense a Tom the Dancing Bug in the future:

Hey, maybe we can hold a "Destruction of Iraq" cartoon contest just like Iran did!  All in the name of art, of course...
