Because after Iraq cranked out 500,000 barrels of oil earlier this week, not incredibly happy about it, but not too pissy, all things considered, one of our American soldiers cheered like he was at a sporting event, talked to the Iraqi field manager/supervisor/whoever like he was 2 years old and gave him a tiny ziplock bag of cookies.

Cookies.

They gave us oil. The dude taunts the Iraqis by saying, "Wow! I guess we own you something now! Oh, wait, I do have something for you! Cookies!"

Yes. He really did say that. On CNN.

It's so sad. As a person with United States citizenship, I apologize and beg you give me refuge in your country!

LOL! Yep, I saw that on Comedy Central's The Daily Show. The anchor had pretty much the same opinion as you do.

it's just sad that the small percent of intelligent people here in America have to be represented by the rest of the population of ignorant fucking assholes.

This is why when shit like 9-11 happens to America, people are surprised. A good deal of assholes like this guy think they are 50 feet taller than everyone else in the world. Thankfully, the Daily Show put the situation in its' proper place.
