"Look, we lied about the reasons for going to war. We really just want their oil. And we wanted to help our cronies make a shitload of money by overcharging the American taxpayer for rebuilding the country after we destroyed it. And we really don't give damn how many Iraqi men, women and children or American kids have died or been maimed by what we've done. Not only that, we ignored repeated warnings about a terrorist attack on our country and then, at the very least, we were completely inept on the morning of that predicted attack because I sat in a school room reading a book about goats to children while 3,000 of our citizens were being murdered by weapons of mass destruction and the greatest military in the history of humankind stood by and never fired a shot. It was the very the next day, after we flew the Bin Laden family out of the country on a private jet, that we started blaming Saddam and using fear as a political tool to convince you that we needed to alienate all of our allies and go to war with Iraq. And furthermore, we don't give a damn that the country is spiraling into a devastating economic collapse because me and my friends are getting richer and richer every day. And as for the environment, what do we care whether we drill for oil in our national parks or sell pieces of old growth forest to logging companies who, in turn, give us campaign contributions? We're not going to be here when the polar ice caps melt."
