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.

Member when representives from those districts started pressuring the Pentagon to buy more tanks and they responded with 'But we really don't need those things now, we're fighting an insurgency... buuuuut if you're giving us more money, sure!'?
