The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.

16 words.

A stunning combination of a brilliant artistic statement with a strong political message. What a cool creative idea using 16 words for the lyrics. Ms Guryan has consistently high standards and is an artist to be admired. Great job and important sociological message for all to watch and absorb.

this sums it up beautifully

"'16 Words' is a hauntingly effective anti war anthem that uses George Bush's own words to condemn him. A listener of this song, so powerful in its stark simplicity, comes away understanding that the blood on Bush's hands stems from the lies that came out of his mouth."

Joe Wilson (Husband of Valerie Plame - outed CIA Agent). Quote May 2007.

Nice mix of lyrical and political; it's not the form, it's the content. Very nice work.

Since when is dark satire not funny ? Sounds like you're the one who's dense. You calling another commenter "dense" is like $hit telling vomit that it stinks.

Eek... meant "is" rather than "isn't" obviously. My mistake, though you'd imagine you'd figure out the point and error.

Umm.. sorry. To use a phrase I hate, "My bad"

I'm glad you think you're the authority on what makes a song good. YouTube comments are so stupid...I swear.

THIS is SO TRUE!!!!
