    "American blood and youth are worth more than Arab blood and youth. Americans are dying for something greater than themselves, no matter how empty the cause that got us here, and the Iraqis refuse to fight for anything at all."


    yeah that's "real good stuff"

    lies & ignorance,good stuff.

    Reading the private thoughts of the returning soldiers makes me feel incredibly fortunate to be able to be safe with the people i love.
    I hate this goddamn war. Goddamn you Bush, Why didn't you just say 'F*** you, Saddam, we want your goddamn oil, you sonofabitch.'? Then you could have got the oil, had a war for a year and been home in time for pancakes and maple syrup.

    I could read these (like the first couple) all day
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    he didn't go in there to pump out the oil,it was to lessen the supply in order to raise the price,hence the continuance record breaking quarters by Exxon.

    wikipedia is a shitty source because of this federal and corporate editing, as well for reasons that the Colbert quote explains perfectly. it has been completely discredited.
