No, it doesn't work like that, dummy.

And, btw, let me just take this opportunity to restate that "over

650,000 innocent Iraqis are dead and wounded" is a ridiculous,

completely unfounded position, based entirely on fantasy.

I'd say "lie." But it seems that the Dems own that word. Mostly so it

can't be used against them.
