I don't believe this, because then he'd be in favor of drilling in ANWR.

and keeping our military out of places where our national interests are not at stake.
I agree. Next task is to find somewhere that the military is where our national interests are not at stake. You'll be looking for a long time.

He is against the robbery of our national treasury by defense contractors and oil companies that profit from our engagement in the Middle East.
This hasn't happened. If you're talking about Halliburton, they are the most qualified company in the world to stabilize the region's resources. Should the job go to anyone else because Dick Cheney used to work for them?

He is against shipping all of our jobs overseas.
If taxes weren't so high we wouldn't have to ship our jobs overseas. I'm sure Fat Bastard isn't in favor of cutting taxes.

He thinks the war in Iraq was a mistake, and we should have cooperated with the EU and other countries in maintainging sanctions instead of killing thousands of Iraqis and hundreds of young Americans.
With the UN running the show, nothing was going to get done. The UN itself said it had to be done, yet they knew it was never going to get done. That's why thousands of Iraqis and hundreds of Americans had to die, because the UN wouldn't do anything about it. And we're better because of it.

Wow, must be true.
NOW this is a political thread. Everyone's going to reply about how stupid this sounds. But it's my view on the issues at hand. These views are as radical to Fat Bastard-types as Fat Bastard-types views are to me.
