But not your second. We didn't go into Iraq to give them "liberty", now did we? As a matter of fact, we AIDED Sadam Hussein to help gas the Kurds, or am I wrong to mention that now?

We do what is politically expedient for us; it's not done out of the kindness of our hearts. If there are no dollars at the end of that rainbow, we stop chasing it.
