First off, faultbreak, you are my FUCKING HERO for telling of that stupid asshole what's up. Anyways, this song is from the split release called New World Order: War #1 that Bad Religion did with Noam Chomsky in the months leading up to the Gulf War. The two Bad Religion tracks were re-released on the remastered version of Generator in 2004. I would definitely say that you should listen to the commentary by Noam Chomsky for the split, it explains a lot of details that are left out of our history books in school. It also helps explain the songs.
For example, in this song the stanzas "For thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet, today murder is legal" George Bush (Sr.) basically told Saddam that there would be no negotiations "Capitulate or die" are the exact words used I believe, and Noam Chomsky explains what the terms of the negotiations that Saddam wanted were. The stanza "God I want to be a man, but I don't wanna die with a rifle in my hands", as Noam Chomsky put it, "U.S. troops are about to walk into what is potentially going to be a meat grinder". Anyways, this is my two cents, on this song and I figured I should pass on this info. if you want to find the split, just go to www.7inchpunk.com and look around for it under American hardcore and look around for awhile.
