And on the exiles, real quick, I'll refer your audience.

You can find this real easily because it's like in a lot of quotable websites and whatever.

They'll have a quote of Machiavelli from the prince warning the prince, do not listen to exiles.

And they tell you and agitate against their former country because the thing is, one, they don't really know anything.

And two, they want to believe a lot of things.

And they want you to believe a lot of things, true and untrue, to get you to do what they want.

And so you cannot trust their point of view.

And the Iraq example is the best one because you had Trotskyite intellectuals like, what's his name, Makia.

And then you had the Iraqi National Congress

which was supported by tehran um led by the iraqi shiite exile ahmed chalabi and all of his merry men and they were the ones who one promised that oh man it's going to be great the people of iraq can't wait until you invade and two they were the ones who supplied most of the lies about the weapons of mass destruction that they funneled through the office of special plans in the pentagon

to the vice president's office, the White House, and the media to push us into that war.

There's mobile biological weapons labs and warehouses full of weapons of mass destruction.

And whatever it is you need, we've got Iraqi exiles here to tell you.

That's right, Saddam's got remote-controlled planes going to spray you with germs.

Whatever it is that you need to be told to get the American people to go for this.

And it's, you know...

you bring it up and and it's something that people don't really talk about nearly enough but this is just completely scandalous that the united states is used this way and and our government apparently doesn't mind being used this way for expatriates from other countries to come and yeah you know be essentially

pick themselves, right, invite themselves to be our chosen sock puppets when we overthrow their regimes and install them in power instead.

It's completely crazy.

And what the hell has become of us that this is what our country is good for and is to be used for in the eyes of so many people in the world?
