Killing 500,000 children through economic starvation in Iraq? That's ok.

Bombing civilians in Pakistan with drones daily? That's ok.

Irradiating an entire city, Fallujah, and making the rates of cancer skyrocket? That's ok.

Assassinating US citizens and people around the world with no trial or charge? That's ok

Locking people up in secret prisons to be tortured and murdered? That's ok.

When is THAT bubble going to be burst, you scum? Will the US have to be bombed in order fot his to stop?

You know this clip is going to be classic when Charlie Rose starts the question with "Now that the war is over".

Anyone who watches this should consider using the google auto caption beta. Hilarious. Highlights include: 1:50: "and what we needed to do was go over to that part of the world i'm afraid and burst that bubble we needed to go over there basically army take on a very big stick uh... right in the heart of of that world and bomb imperceptible and there's only one way to do it because part of that bob dole said we've got shit" Bob Dole was right. Bombing imperceptibly is not your strong suit...

Could this be more Freudian? "Take a big stick" and say "suck on this"

[Peter Swann]

When White People get killed its called "terrorism".

When Brown People get killed its called "collateral damage".

When White People kill its because they are lone "fanatics" or because they were "provoked" but they are almost never described as terrorists.

"We needed to go over there" ???

Hey Thomas, when did you ever go over there?

[Phil Rounds]

Attributing 9/11 to Iraq?...that's frackin' stupid. Friedman is a total moron.

[abcabcdef61]

What an idiot.

Bush and Chaney got the war they wanted because of enablers like New York Times that spews shit like this one. Friedman makes me vomit.
