Hi there. I’m your savior G-Dubya, and I’m charging the bad guys. Sure the threat of a nuclear-armed Soviet Union is over, but those guys were harmless.  A few hundred cave-dwelling ragamuffins called "Al-Queda" and "Taliban" pose a MUCH larger threat! Anyone with half a brain can figure that out. I would know -- I happen to have half a brain, and my friends Cheney and Rove have another half between them.. I think. That's why we need a bigger military than ever before! If we don’t spend hundreds of billions of dollars hunting them out, we’re all gonna die!
