4. I knew I had that person on ignore for a reason. Yeah, don't forget $4.50 for gas.

Yeah. A draft, martial law, and OBL's capture is really in the same ballpark as something that's actually been an issue in legislature and that the Republican candidate has joked about and that fucking four star generals have gone on CNN worried about.

What? It's not happening fast enough for you?

These are also the people who predicted gas would be $4.50 a gallon. You're a fucking moron if you think we wouldn't strategically like to "democratize" Iran. Whether we'll do it or not is another issue. But you're a *fucking moron* if you think we have no interest in it.
