250 Million Pre-approved Bank Cards Sent to Iraqis.

[The Lone Liberal]

Working with the Bush Administration bank cards were sent to most of the citizens of Iraq. A high level official in the Bush administration said, “ We want them to get these credit cards in time to do their Christmas shopping. There is no reason why they can’t learn about freedom and democracy by going in debt like the rest of us.”

The cards were accompanied by a “Merry Christmas” greeting from the President.

A man-in-the-street interview with Abdullah Kharasfalah, an unemployed draftsman in Baghdad drew this response, "What ta F***?"

2. This proves it without a doubt anymore.

The United States is evil.

Pure evil.

Pure, unadulterated, unfettered evil.

I am beyond emotion right now.

I know this because I was suckered in by the predators.

"Merry Christmas", indeed. It's the annihilation of their society.

5. Xmas shopping....in Iraq?

The joke would have been more believable if it was Ramadan shopping or something a little more, I don't know, maybe Muslim?

7. Just shows how out of touch the regime is to cultural sensitivities.

But thank the gods that we have "liberated" the Iraqi people.
