we can't pull out now, our elected officials will lose BILLIONS!

[mopaul]

so please america, let's not cut and run too soon!

1. You know, I hadn't thought of it that way!

we must stay the course until these bloodthirsty gluttons get their fill of our tax dollars.

[FormerRepublican]

2. Unfortunately, that will never happen.

[NanceGreggs]

3. OMG, you're right!

What's a poor Halliburton stockholder supposed to do if there's no war to fill the coffers? Some CEOs of companies with defence contracts will have to GO OUT AND WORK FOR A LIVING!

Good God, ya'll -- where's our next $10,000,000 Bat Mitzvah going to come from if we don't kill more people?

In the spirit of the Christmas season, it's time to stop thinking about ourselves, and turn our thoughts and prayers to those WAY MORE FINANCIALLY FORTUNATE THAN WE'LL EVER BE.

4. that's really what all this stay the course bullshit means

just saw uncle tom delay standing up at a podium explaining why we absolutley can't stop the war and giving all the standard fake reasons, democracy, freedom, security, but in reality, it's about huge chunks of money, so huge that 1000 men couldn't spend it in one lifetime.

[NanceGreggs]

5. Yeah, but they should be 'up front' about it ...

... like changing the currency to read: "One nation, under the Almighty Buck."

Just as an aside: We keep hearing that Cheney's windfall profits on his Halliburton stock options are 'earmarked for charity'. If that's so, why doesn't he just GIVE the money to charity? What 'charity' doesn't need the money right now?

9. That needs to be on a bumper sticker

You've summed it up, mopaul.

[Skidmore]

10. Good way to get bad incumbents out.

[Mutley]

11. You're right. Millions in the ole savings account isn't nearly enough.

They need billions. How else are they expected to put food on the table?
