Sean Hannity Proposes Re-Invading Iraq and Kuwait To ‘Take All Their Oil’

[Joanne98]

Tonight’s Hannity on Fox News featured a discussion by the Great American Panel about high gas prices, which host Sean Hannity claimed are “now gonna go up to three, four, five dollars a gallon again.” The panel ruefully noted that Arab sheiks possess great amounts of oil, and pointed out a recent statement by Kuwait’s oil minister that he believes the market can withstand $100-per-barrel oil. After noting that Kuwait is a country that “would not exist for us,” Hannity angrily offered his remedy:

HANNITY: There’s two things I said. I say why isn’t Iraq paying us back with oil, and paying every American family and their soldiers that lost loved ones or have injured soldiers — and why didn’t they pay for their own liberation? For the Kuwait oil minister — how short his memory is. You know, we have every right to go in there and frankly take all their oil and make them pay for the liberation, as these sheiks, etcetera etcetera, you know were living in hotels in London and New York, as Trump pointed out, and now they’re gouging us and saying ‘oh of course we can withstand .’”

Watch it

In the most recent invasion of Iraq, there have been 4,442 American combat deaths and over 30,000 injuries, many of them traumatic and debilitating. The cost of the war is at $3 trillion and counting, and the invasion demolished America’s global standing. Apparently Hannity would be willing to re-pay this cost for cheaper gasoline.

Hannity also acts as if Iraq should be grateful for the invasion and turn over its natural resources. Of course, anywhere from 100,000 to one million Iraqi civilians died during the unwanted invasion, which destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure and cultural heritage.

1. Every day he hits a new level of stupid.

John Cleese had it right.

Ode to Sean Hannity

Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
Hannity"

4. Is this a sane concept?

Or should someone be trying to get Hannity to go see a mental health specialist?

6. I listened to a Republican call himself a Roman early in the Iraq

war. He said, "I'm talking empire. I'm a Roman. We should just take it (the oil)." A drunk manager of an electrical distributor. Given the lifestyle of many so-called conservatives his describing himself as a "Roman" caused a few unwanted visuals.
This was right around "Mission Accomplished" day. I told him, not so fast on the celebration. I said it'd be at least five years before we had a clue how it was working out.
I wouldn't be surprised if our oil companies are being allowed to load up Iraqi oil totally at taxpayer expense and being allowed to double dip, shipping it over here and selling us our oil at full market value.

7. What in the last 7 years has led him to believe that is even feasible?

The currency they paid in is not oil however, it is blood, sweat and tears.

Just. Evil.

11. I turned on his show a bit last night. He was telling his 'people' that

the calls for civility were the Democrats plan to stop all Republicans from offering differing opinions and for everyone to hold hands and sing kumbaya. Also that no Republican has ever, EVER said anything uncivil and the tea party people never, ever did anything uncivil at town hall meetings. The worst he could think of was that radio guy using Obama's middle name and McCain said he didn't like that, but then Obama was sworn in with his middle name, so what's the big deal.

He's such a fucking tool.
