You guys remember "terrorist fist jab"? That one was the one that pissed me off the most.

Remember that time Bush got us into two wars because of 9/11, but it wasn’t until Obama that the guy who caused it was killed. I member. Turns out the Republicans didn’t care about justice, they just cared about using the crisis to make some oil money for their VP and President.

All I remember was the big "Mission Accomplished" banner on a Navy carrier with bush waving and smiling. Are you now telling me he didn't accomplish his mission? /srcsm

That reminds me of the episode of Scrubs when they are all arguing politics. JD knows almost nothing and, while reading ‘The Iraq War for Dummies’ says, “You know what’s so messed up? I just got to the point where President Bush gave his “mission accomplished” speech on a battleship and I still got, like, 400 more pages to go.”
