Is Iraq starting to remind anyone of the movie "The Money Pit"?
Now we need 87 billion more dollars?

Here's an idea:

Let's let our troops decide. Each of the 150,000 service personnel gets approximately $580,000 or we spend the 87 billion on cleaning up the mess we made in Iraq.

Seems pretty democratic to me. Which do you think our soldiers would choose?

3. Starring Tom Hanks as Shrub and Shelley Long as Condi
Hilarious hijinks abound. You'll laugh yourself silly as Condi & Shrub try to escape from their pit as it fills up with the blood of U.S. soldiers and innocent civilians.

5. The difference is, there's no "good foundation"
This thing is built on pure lies, not concrete.
