"We Suck Young Pollsters"

"We've given up flattering our employees, get over yourself"

"You have mistaken me for someone who gives a shit."

and how do you understand it in relation to foreign policy?

That's what I thought it was, originally. Where's it from?

Yeah, exact context please

from 'War is Over?'

When a state gos to war against us or supports those who take a war to us... even a war that has not been officially recognized we should take action. Destroying a regime headed by Saddam Hussein is not something I consider a bad move. The message is clear. We heard his call to war against us. It was never a big secret he suported those intent on doing us harm.
I don't know who you are calling Senator McCarthy.
And, no one is sasing that all of Islam is out to conquer the world as its own. I think I probably know Islam a lot better than you. It is a religion of toolerance and it is only the misinterpretations by a rabid minority that has turned its image into a gang of bomb building thugs.
And Saddam is no real friend of Islam either. In fact, that is why we supported him in the first place. He was the secular head of state in the region who was the only credible figure strong enough to confront the fundamentalist fire that was burning out of Iran.
We, as a nation, must recognize we have real enemies out there. Some, not all, can be tempered by means other than armed conflict. However, there are certainly those out there who will want harm thrown our at all costs. Failure to recognize this is naive to the point where it is dangerous. The fact that you disagree with this and want to negotiate your way out of it is not going to do anyone any good. The good thing is that there are men and women out there willing to die and yes, kill, so you can go with your criticism. The job at hand will get done with or without your support. An approval rating from you is not really an issue important enough to consider.
