I'm furious with you! I'm going to send my troops over to your country to stop you from using your massive stockpile of WMDs. I may cost a little tax money and last a few years, but those weapons are a huge threat.

Well, I can't blame Bush for going in without checking - he had the word of sources that he trusts. Especially Clinton! That guy's unimpeachable.
I don't know why I'm grousing. Just like they said, they war only took a few months and paid for itself in oil revenue. And yet there are people talking about it this very week in the news!
