"I read the article, and considering that 59% of all the oil we consume comes from Venezuela and Chavez is threatening to cut us off"
And yet, you & your ilk had no problem with your God Emperor of Fucking Up, George Dumbya Bush, kissing King Abdullah's arse for eight years, to ensure you'd get all that lovely oil from Saudi Arabia, eh Jerome?
Not taking into account the fact that Saudi Arabia has one of the most oppressive regimes on the planet. Whose Wahhabi clerics (via the Mutawwa) - and directly funded by the House of Saud - rigidly enforce their own hyper-fundie form of Islam, and have given support to Osama bin Laden.
Never was the phrase so appropriate: 'Hypocrisy, thy name is Fundie.'
"We don't have an extra $200 billion to dislodge another dictator."
...yet, Dumbya could find $2-3 trillion - to say nothing of the thousands of infinitely more valuable American lives lost in the process - to spend on dislodging Saddam Insane. Now where did he find that, eh Jerome? Oh yes, that's right. The trade surplus previously created by Bill Clinton's wise fiscal policies. Who was the only president in the US's history to actually balance the budget.
The following phrase never sounded more relevant: 'Clinton lied, no-one died.'
