See, freedom is on the march and this thermometer proves it. (Insert what ever you want, everything proves that freedom is on the march).

4See, freedom is on the march, and this Roswellesque flexible probe proves it.
Or is that a little too close to the truth?

I hadn’t exactly meant INSERT in that context but it seems to work.
Kind of like his father’s “Predawn vertical insertion” which describes the invasion of Panama. (One services the target).

6The trouble with this poll is that it sounds like it could be real.
We have to get our army out of there. We are the excuse for the Iraqi intifada. Without our army, who would they have an excuse to throw bombs at?
On one level, I think what we should REALLY do is institute a Marshall Plan for Iraq - massive infrastructure improvements, employing as many Iraqis as we can. But sadly, the administration has no one of the stature of George Marshall; and any comparison between our president and Harry Truman just makes me want to cry. Besides, they’re so mad at us now they’d probably bomb genuine civilian relief efforts. If we REALLY wanted what’s best for Iraq (which is questionable), we should pull out and let them work it out themselves.
