4. Oh, HELL...now there are FOUR? Or is it FIVE?
:evilgrin:

1). Iraq is World War II

2). Iraq is The Civil War

3). Iraq is the center of the Global War On Terra

4). Iraq is The Cold War.

5). Iraq is The War Of The Roses...no, wait a minute. That was a delightful comedy-adventure movie starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito.

:rofl:

:patriot:
