Transcript:
The American presidency is a case study in entropy: each one is worse than the last. Harry Truman- began the cold war, lousy economy, nuked Japan, Korean War, hated at the time... we love him now! There's a reason: upon taking office, new presidents secretly swear to do a worse job than their predecessor. (Bill Clinton: You want me to have sex with an intern?) (Man: You're gonna hafata screw up big time to be worse than Carter, Reagan, and Bush.) Continuously declining presidential quality ensures that each president is fondly remembered by history. (Man 2: Verily, that mountebank Tyler makes one long for Van Buren.) (Man 3: Nixon makes LBJ look like a peacenik.) (Woman: Clinton makes Nixon look like a paragon of truth.) Washington and Jefferson had it easy! Only the truly gifted can perpetuate our traditional downward spiral. (George Bush: You'll see... you're gonna miss me!)

Interestingly, I have a magnet on my fridge I intended to give my mother but never did: “I never thought I’d miss Nixon.” I do – he was at least smart as heck. But I think the chances of my missing Bush are two: slim and fat.

I will miss President Bush. I was worried I might retire before getting to flex some military might.

Dana: So you are saying that you will miss His Liar Majesty only because he gave you the chance to go and kill some people in a war based on lies and greed????
Is that the reason you enlisted for?

I haven’t researched a war yet that did not have “American Interests”. I am glad I was part of the service during this war on terrorism. I enlisted to serve the greatest nation in the world. I have done that and our military is the BEST. America is great and it is great because of those who serve on the battlefield and the streets of any town USA.

Dana: Once again, you did not answer that simple question..
Spare your allegiance and think freely for a moment: Did you enlist to serve the greatest army in the world or did you enlist to fight for greed and profit, in a war based on lies and deception?
Let me remind you that fighting in Iraq has nothing to do with “War against Terrorism”…

You dont have to remind me of anything. I answered your question. I enlisted to serve the greatest military in the world, as those who can also claim that privilege. I will never spare my allegiance for anything.
