    The whole reason we went in is to stop the smuggling and open up everything!!! Iraq was about oil, pure and simple.

    So to combat terrorism you steal all the oil to stop the terrorists travelling abroad? Now I get it!

    Simple yet effective :)

    Didn't you know that all the US troops that are killed in Iraq are a cunning bait to lure all islamiacs in the killing-ground Bush made of Iraq so they won't invade at the shores of San Diego beach?

    That was the brilliant strategy behind why the US invaded Iraq - godforsaken Afghanistan didn't provoke and enrage the muslims enough.

    Bush's "bring'em on!" was basically just an expression of sheer genius and his deeper understanding of the terrorists psyche and mind.

    When you think that's bonkers you're quite right, but don't tell me but the ever-moronic administration lackey Andrew Sullivan. Unlike me, he was serious when he wrote it.
