Craziest (also false) justification ever for invading Iraq heard at work
Advertisements [?]
In the lunchroom today the security guard is watching the news and announced he was voting for Bush and here's how the rest of the conversation transpired:

Why would you vote for Bush
I think he's best for our country
How
A lot of ways
Name some
Well, he took out Saddam
And he was a threat to us, how
Well, he gave bin Laden the money to pull off 9/11. <-- Are you reading this. He thinks Saddam financed the Sept. 11 attacks.
And just where did you hear a thing like that
On TV. I heard it on the news once
That is so patently false I can't even begin to describe the ways

I backed off because I could feel the steam coming out of my ears and since I'm a manager I couldn't create that kind of drama, but I definitely want to straighten him out tomorrow.

So, please give me some ammunition and documentation. Keep in mind that he's obviously not too bright.

What really gets me is that he is in the demographic that is so totally getting screwed by these people. Every time he pulls that lever, he is voting against his own interests. We need to get these people to wake up.
