Stewart Can’t Believe China Got Iraq Oil: Bush Bombed & Invaded Them And This Is How They Repay Us?!

VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/stewart-can%E2%80%99t-believe-china-got-iraq-oil-we-bombed-and-invaded-them-and-this-is-how-they-repay-us/

Jon Stewart was stunned tonight to find that the winner of the Iraq war was not the United States, Iraq, or even Daniel Day-Lewis. It’s… incredibly long drum roll here… China! He complained, “Don’t you have to be in a war to win it?” As it turns out, China is receiving great economic benefit from purchasing a ton of Iraqi oil, but Stewart couldn’t help but feel Iraq was neglecting the U.S. and treating them poorly after the U.S. did so much… never mind.

The ones who somehow survived a decade of butchery at the hands
of their American "liberators", that is.

American arms manufactures made a bundle and Dick Chaney's Halliburton was saved. Republican assholes were handed a political debt issue they can use to further screw the American idiot tax payer (sequester).

money, enough to buy all the oil outside of Saudi Arabia; we have the glory of having invaded another small country on false pretenses.

Gee, I wonder how China and Saudi Arabia might have come out ahead in this deal? Who has the Bush family been working for, anyway?
