Earlier in the week, the Moron-in-Chief felt the need to tell the American public once again how wonderful it is that we are killing people in Iraq.

That's a lot of tripe to try and stomach, so here's the highlight:

The temptation in today's society is to say, it's not worth it. Or, certain people can't self-govern. It's really part of the debate in Iraq, isn't it, when you think about it -- is, can these people self-govern? And I can understand why some in America say they can't, because all they see is unbelievable violence. And we're a country of deep compassion. We care. One of the great things about America, one of the beauties of our country, is that when we see a young, innocent child blown up by an IED, we cry. We don't care what the child's religion may be, or where that child may live, we cry. It upsets us. The enemy knows that, and they're willing to -- they're willing to kill to shake our confidence. That's what they're trying to do.

First, Iraq is self-governing? Who knew? Us sending our military over there to oust their government (as awful as their government may have been), training their military and police forces, and awarding reconstruction contracts to American companies is self-governing? Mmmmkay.

Oh where do I start? Who the hell is this "we" that man thinks he speaks for? Because it sure as hell ain't me. It ain't millions of American mothers who mourn every child, the children who died during Katrina, the children who starve every day in this country, the children who are blown up around the world by American weapons.

He sure as hell isn't talking about Reverend Phelps and his followers, the Americans who support cutting funding to Head Start, the kind of Americans who voted for the Emperor without Clothes.
