This is from the September 23, 2003 program.
This is more information than I saw on the “traditional” news channels last week about the Shrub’s plea to the U.N. for more money for his Shrub War.
Jon Stewart sums it up nicely: “We were right. You were wrong. Give us Money.”
I mean it’s only fair, right? Why should only Americans die in this senseless occupation?
There are also some bizarre references to “sex tourism” that I don’t fully understand, and some interesting information about the Iraqi police force that isn’t forming as quickly as hoped. They’re trying to build a police force of 40,000, and so far they’ve got 800!
