I was really leaning the other way until Dermot O?Connor revealed his war simulation game. This is clear, indisputable evidence we should not go to war. In fact, the govt should hire O'connor to run simulations for its entire foreign policy, because we obviously cannot survive without his scintillating intellect.

Does MSNBC actually think anyone cares about what an animation artist thinks?

What I find most interesting in the general public is that they think we are just going to remove Saddam Hussein and his government and move on. This has to be the furthest from the truth. If we go to war with Iraq, we are in it for the long haul. Several years later we will still be supporting the new government, just like Korea.

Today, Bush reps testified the occupation will last two years if things go to plan.

In all my years on this planet I've never known a government plan that worked out according to some timetable.

I thought I heard Osama was spotted in Rhode Island?

That's pretty stupid. I mean, the guy is of course entitled to his opinion, but this isn't news. I could make a flash game where the only outcome was beautiful women and candy for everyone, but that unfortunately does not make it true.

Similar to how we supported Osama Bin Laden? Or Japan? Or Germany after WW2? Which kind of support are we really going to provide?
