Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been in New York City for a couple of days and he’s been labeled everything but the anti-Christ.

War pigs

We like war
Now that we’re getting ready to bomb Iran I thought it would be useful and entertaining to hear from one of my favorite comedians who doesn’t pull any punches. I read today that Senators Kyl and Lieberman are ratcheting up the rhetoric for attacking Iran. We love war here in America. We celebrate it. It’s part of our national anthem. Listen to the anthems of other countries and then listen to ours. We have more weapons of mass destruction than any other country on the planet but we’re going to disarm Iran. We’re the only country on the planet that has ever dropped an A-bomb. We have over seven hundred military bases worldwide. War is big business for us. War means jobs and so you parents whose kids will be coming home in a box or on a gurney, you just buck up.
