http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/10/24/2400000000000/Okay. It was a War for Oil. We won. (the fight after the game doesn't count) Iraq owes us $2,400,000,000,000.00 worth of oil. And as soon as it is all delivered I would be more than happy for us to go home. ( I think we shoud also insist on that big arch of giant crossed swords, too, as spoils of war. )
And I am willing to compromise with Iran on the nukes. They can have them if they test them on Faluja.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
