I got one look at that way-too-close-up Wilford Brimley face and I had to hit the "Back" button.

He basically said that the US has too big of a nuclear arsenal (displays this by filling up the whole screen with 10,000 bb pellets)

He then mentions it costs 17.6 million to maintain this arsenal and for that price, he claims we can rebuild our schools and provide health care for kids.

if 17 million will rebuild our schools and health care think of what 400 billion would do.

Rooster, you know I shoot you straight.

Reasons for invading iraq:

1) Control oil sales to us at rates we like.
2) Set up bases to defend against Chinese and Indian aggression in decades to come
3) Borrow a great deal of money for war spending to keep defense contractors happy after Clinton's 8 years of relative peace



9) Remove Saddam and his WMD
10) Set up democracy.
