I'm speaking about the advertising campaign, the packaging, not the goods actually delivered. In the Age Of Lies, "packaging is everything".

If you'll recall, this adventure was supposed to be self-financing (the Iraqis would gladly pay for their own conquest, going right back to their jobs running the oil pumps, after burying our tanks in flowers). Just like the tax cuts for the rich (cut taxes, the economy will be stimulated, incomes will go up, and more tax revenues will be collected, even if tax rates are lower).

And you know whose fault it is, when it all turns to manure. It's your fault, because you weren't Loyal and Credulous enough. If you'd only been willing to sent one more division to Iraq, cut taxes to the rich a bit more, everything would have been delivered as promised. You stabbed us in the back, and we're going to send you to Guantanamo before the next Adventure, to make sure it doesn't happen again.
