11. We can't walk away because we have to much invested in their oil.
Our national infrastructure is built around interstates. Yeah, it's not going to be easy at all.

2. It's been a huge win for the arms industry, though
The more unstable and bellicose the politics, the more sales of arms and security services.

Follow the money...

7. Really! Defense contractors have ripped us off to the tune of $285 billion in three years!
And now the GOP/Tea Baggers want to cut beneficial programs to make up for it.

Hey, Congress! Just go back to the criminal contractors and get the money back!!!

4. Yeah, but gas is still only $1.46 a gallon like it was when Bill Clinton left office.

10. That's something John Madden would say. the proper response is 'no shit'
Jimmy Carter told us that 30 some years ago.
