Fat is just so ... abrupt.

I also prefer calling the US Department of War the "Department of Defense" and surrender of national sovereignty to transnational corporate government "the Free Market". Makes it all seem so much the nicer.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Ah, if only! If they had attacked Afghanistan, then attacked Iraq, then went home.

No, its the Department of War. Its ongoing wars that require logistical support bases in places that have not faced the remotest threat of attack for over a decade, in order to generate those juicy base support contracts.
