2. Yeah, I heard him ask for more money since the money already
alloted went to Halliburton and their sister companies. Said to put Iraqi to work. Thought that was a very artful dig at Dead Eye. Then he goes on and takes a nice little swipe at Bush 41 by mentioning that administration left the country hanging out to dry back in '91 and many citizens do not trust the US (in so many words).

The entire speech was written by one of Chucklenuts wordsmith until about the last five minutes - don't think they saw some of that stuff coming.

3. Yesterday the newsers were reporting that he had
promised to give $750 million, I think it was, to Lebanon.
So we give him money and he throws it against Israel and we give Israel money to fight the other way.

Maybe I'm a little dense, but it doesn't all seem to add up.

5. I suspect he truly doesn't have a penny to work with. All the money sent
to Iraq has gone into the pockets of Bush's buddies. I'm sure it's very frustrating. Probably just like our soldiers not having supplies, armor, ammo, etc...

Although he didn't actually say this, he did say this. But he does speak better than Bush.
