Wit vs twit: Eric Brewer challenges Dana "Durrr?" Peroxide --
Eric: The President warned of the danger that al Qaeda could gain access to Iraq's oil resources. But I don't understand how a fragmented, clandestine, non-Iraqi terrorist organization could produce and sell Iraqi oil on the global market, especially when the majority of Iraqis have turned against al Qaeda. Could you describe a plausible scenario?
Dana: The purpose of what the President said is that al Qaeda should not be allowed to have safe haven in Iraq and take over --
Eric: How can they take over Iraq's oil reserves?
Dana: Well, if we were to leave we would certainly ensue chaos and not be able to -- if we were to leave too soon, it would certainly be chaos and it would be terrible for not only the innocent Iraqis, but the entire region and, in fact, our own national security. That's what the President --
Eric: So the Iraqis would let a foreign terrorist organization take over their oil?
Dana: You're missing the point, and I think that you should go back and read --
Eric: No, I --
Dana: Yes, actually, I think you are missing the point. And I call on you because I see what you write about how you come here and you really want to have questions asked. And I'm calling on you and I'm providing it to you, but I suggest that you read the President's speech and read it in context, because that's -- what you're suggesting is not what the President said.

"I know they have to simplify things for their base, but they're running the risk of alienating anyone with a brain."Umm, Dana? What Dimmy McDumbass said:
