- And the cost of the acephalic is heard in our land! I guess Allen's had his
- head so far up his ass that he doesn't know that Iraq had both a nuclear
- weapons program and a missile program. Well, shit-for-brains (at least in your
- case we know how they got there), they did.
-
- Now, please, in the knee-jerk response you're sure to give, which will
- undoubtedly be based on the premise "But we gave Iraq the means to embark on
- such programs only because they're sitting on oil fields," tell us why, if
- that's the case, we support Israel?
