Man-on-Dog Santorum's take on Iraq

[ButterflyBlood]

Embattled U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum said America has avoided a second terrorist attack for five years because the “Eye of Mordor” has been drawn to Iraq instead.

Santorum used the analogy from one of his favorite books, J.R.R. Tolkien's 1950s fantasy classic “Lord of the Rings,” to put an increasingly unpopular war in Iraq into terms any school kid could easily understand.

“As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else,” Santorum said, describing the tool the evil Lord Sauron used in search of the magical ring that would consolidate his power over Middle-earth.

“It's being drawn to Iraq and it's not being drawn to the U.S.,” Santorum continued. “You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the Eye to come back here to the United States.”

3. I can't believe that dipshit COMPLETELY missed the message of LOTR

That just blows my mind.

If he really wants to draw an analogy with current events: our Eye was on Iraq while North Korea was building a goddam nuclear bomb.

Looks like Santorum just jumped the shark.

and from "the Council"

8. He also said that North Korea isn't as much of a threat as Iran

because, seriously, Kim Jong Il likes to watch basketball.
