Truly amazing...isn't it...

how one is willing to Gauge success and failure, not by troop casualties, objectives completed, civilian casualites...but whether or not Oil is being pumped...


And Ck tells us he's a passionate Christian...

"**** the troops, **** the iraqi women and children, WE GOT THE OIL!!!"
