4. The context
If I remember correctly, he was speaking about how he felt we needed to stay in Iraq and clean up the mess we made of their country. It was something along the lines of, "We knocked her up, now we gotta take care of the kid...Iraq is America's rape baby"

6. well, I've seen a lot of DUers agree with that
I still don't think of it as rape...it's mass murder. It's something we have to correct and atone for.

7. Well I think "rape" was a sort of metaphor for the mass murder
among other things...
