    Well, I'm waiting for the mods to pull their heads out of their asses and realize it's supposed to funny. It's not redundant, no one else has mentioned it, and it's not offtopic, being that it's about the internet. I couldn't really care what a bunch of random jerks think of my comments, if I did, I would have posted it anonymously.

    Very cheap when you consider...

    1. Iraq is free and democratic.
    2. Iraq poses a shining example to the rest of the Middle East.
    3. A stable Middle East is safer for America.
    4. There will be ecconomic payoff in the long run (yes, oil is nice while we still have some left on this planet).

    I would put a price tag on this investment of... PRICELESS
