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. Its
incredibly long drum roll here
China! He complained, Dont 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 couldnt help but feel Iraq was neglecting the U.S. and treating them poorly after the U.S. did so much
never mind.

A classic segment that should go into the comedy vault. And the Journalism vault as well.

All I can say the Chinese paid for it in cash, we provided the weapons and American blood.

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?
