ALREADY?!? Christopher Hitchens Says we Should Start Debating the Iraq War

Oh boy, how did I miss this? One of my favorite writers, Christopher Hitchens, has recently announced that it's time to "have a real debate about the Iraq war." SWEET. I was thinking maybe we should wait, like, another three hundred years, but sure--I guess it couldn't hurt to start debating now!

After all, we've kind of been over there for awhile and we've spent over FIVE BILLION dollars, right?... So, count me in for the debate! Maybe we could even do it on the internet!

I am inspired to join this new debate because of something else Hitchens writes in his essay: "As I never tire of saying, heat is not the antithesis of light but rather the source of it."

Whoa... he never tires of saying that. Couldn't you just see that phrase written on a Judas Priest poster? Or what if it had been written on the steps leading up to the temple on the "Powerslave" album cover (IRON MAIDEN)? Then you could imagine yourself slowly ascending the steps, and with each step, reading another of the words: "Heat... is... not... the... antithesis... of... light... but... rather..." Dude I would totally just fall to my knees and be like, "Eddie (IRON MAIDEN MONSTER MASCOT), rise up out of your sarcophogus and come down here and read the immortal words of Christopher Hitchens!" But actually, then Eddie would be walking DOWN the steps, so he would read it as: "It... of... source... the... rather..." Maybe it would be best if Eddie just stayed at the top of the temple.

Right! Another great suggestion made by Christopher "Johnnie Walker Bile" Hitchens is that we stop taunting each other.

(Hmm. OK, I should have remembered that was his suggestion before I made that "funny" little nickname joke, sorry! ...)

Heh. I couldn't help myself.

He puts Hitchens to shame

...le petite morte when Mr. Galloway thrashed Norm Coleman on CSPAN. :D

the reflexes.

A little slow on the up-take there, Hitch?

Have another martini. :eyes:

They are all terrorists killers and we must stay the course until we have won. Thats all they will say too.

How do you argue with such stupidity???????

Nice rant, otherwise!

Life would be a lot sadder than it already is without "Get Your War On."

And fuck Hitchens.

Quit low-balling it. We've probably spent about 400-500 Billion by now. Remember Kerry and Bush got into a match about how much we've spent during the debates.
