Wow, this is a right-wing talking-point roll-call of sorts. Thanks to Marshall for sharing this image rich argument, I'd say it's Iraq figures are a bit out of date, but who's counting on accuracy in forward-land anyway. Please take the time to enjoy the GIF of Ted Kennedy and his Oldsmobile—it's a classic.
