Snake Oil Y'All

Nuggets from tonight's presidential news conference:

"They're not happy they're occupied. I wouldn't be happy if I were occupied either."

(I'm not sure what that one meant, I just like saying it aloud.)

"And a free Iraq is going to be a major blow for terrorism."

(FOR terrorism, AGAINST terrorism - what's the diff?)

"I also have this belief, strong belief, that freedom is not this country's gift to the world. Freedom is the Almighty's gift to every man and woman in this world. And as the greatest power on the face of the earth, we have an obligation to help the spread of freedom."

(Ah yes, the "God's On Our Side" card. That's what separates the good ol' USA from extremist Islamics!)
