Maybe this is just me but...

This song is definitely about Iraq. I feel it conveys an issue of pro-war in this situation we're in. I think they're saying that the war is here, as unfortunate as it is, but we need to stick to it and finish it up because we will win. We're bound to win, because it's America... " The ghosts are here, red white and blue" -- the people willing to sacrifice their lives for what is right.

Not sure about "swat the fly," but when I hear "I've been driving, a mid sized car, I never hurt anyone | Is that a fact?" it reminds me of car bombers. Think about it.

It doesn't make me want to stand up and riot, as "MissAmerica" said, however.

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong though.
