The indispensible Media Research Center posted a transcript of Dennis Millers rant on Iraq on the Tonight Show:
"Its not a perfect world. Listen I think Bushs old man could have ended this whole dilemma in the Middle East around 12 years ago. We were like two exits away on the Jersey Turnpike from croaking this toad and we back off because the coalition doesnt want us to go up the road. Are you kidding me? The coalition? This better not happen again. You know Tony Blair is a cute kid and one of my favorite Martin Short characters in waiting, but the simple fact is we dont consult the Brits on anything anymore. We havent listened to them since our boys dressed up like the Hakawi tribe and boosted all the Tetley tea in the Beantown Harbor around 200 years ago. I dont want to ask the Brits what to do here. We gotta assassinate Saddam Hussein. Why have we taken assassination off the table as a viable political tool? And yet theyll tell you the collateral damage of civilians is acceptable. But youre not allowed to assassinate the main pain in the ass. My theory is if you have trouble with your conscience pretend youre trying to kill the guy next to him and think of him as collateral damage, alright?! If that will allow you to get to bed at night." [applause] Miller: "Listen. Negotiating with Saddam Hussein is about as practical as practicing aroma therapy on a French man. Okay? Its not going to happen."
