I've seen the light. All these unAmerican immigrants is ruinin' ever-thing. Just look at the language. Is porch good enough for everyone? No way, Jose. Instead, we got "stoop" (Dutch) or "veranda" (Portugese). Is gully good enough? Forget it, we got "canyon" (Spanish) or "coulee" (French).

What the Hell's goin' on here ? ! ? ! ? Why ain't good ol' 'Merican words good enough for us ? ! ? ! ?

Hahaha! This is amusing indeed!

But you know what we can all agree on? That we all want success in Iraq. And, despite what some folks might tell you, President Bush has a clear strategy for victory in Iraq structured on three tracks -- political, economic and security.

And I know you'll all be happy to hear that victory in Iraq is just a matter of time. Iraq will never again be a haven for terrorists! Peaceful countries don't develop nucular weapons, you know.
