Why "Iraq" is not "Vietnam" and other stuff

One big defense between "Iraq" and "Vietnam" is that anti-American forces in Iraq do not have anything like the Soviet Union supplying them.

***

When I talk about "savages," I'm fucking joking.

***

David Cross was great on Majority Report last night.

***

"President Bush's August 2001 briefing on terrorism threats, described largely as a historical document, included information from three months earlier that al-Qaida was trying to send operatives into the United States for an explosives attack, according to several people who have seen the memo," John Solomon of the AP writes. "The so-called presidential daily briefing, or PDB, delivered to Bush on Aug. 6, 2001 - a month before the Sept. 11 attacks - said there were various reports that Osama bin Laden had wanted to strike inside the United States as early as 1997 and continuing into the spring of 2001, the sources told The Associated Press."

Happy Iraq

Marine honesty

Eli on Al Franken

God Bless America

I don't see why history needs to be recalled when it doesn't serve U.S. interests.

***

As you sow, so shall you reap

***

We'd love to help but only if we can make a buck

***

Patton Oswalt has some things to say.

***

No racism or lack of logic here.
