2. Where is the oil going that is pumped from Iraq
and who is stealing the proceeds? That is the real question.

11. Not a lot of Iraqi oil is making it out...

Defense contractors like Halliburton steal the proceeds (big f-in surprise there).

5. Credit Cards!
George has taken out credit cards in every American's name. He is so brilliant that he even is using credit for your children and grand children.
All so we can have this wonderful war now and not later.

Isn't that so wonderful that he is such a thoughtful president and gives us these wars to fight and die for and all at the cost of the next generation of Americans.

:sarcasm:
