1. Oh my god.


And it also means they don't know where Iraq is.

4. Like It Matters?
To a Faux viewer they see that region as either "Ragistan" or "Jewville" (I heard those exact terms used by a hate radio host not long ago). It's "our" oil under "their" sand. Hell...these douchenozzles couldn't find Brazil either. Their myopia stops at the Rio Grande. It's "Us vs them"...and the "thems" are always demonized.

6. Interested to know the movtivation
I'm guessing the emphasis on Iran is designed to feed the whole they're-gonna-bomb-Israel-look-how-fucking-close-they-are! hysteria and the replacement of Iraq with Egypt downplays the fact that Iraq was always the buffer.

Or, they're just lying fucks that should have their broadcast license revoked.

7. Jeebus! No wonder Bush's military adventures went so badly...
He invaded the wrong country!

So just where ARE all of our troops that are supposed to be in Iraq. FOX lost them!

11. In 1996, could Bush have identified Egypt and Iraq on a map? Probably NOT!
But he likely knew where every major league ball park was.
