“It’s a country that’s standing. I thought it wouldn’t be.”
Rachel Maddow noted how Mitt Romney spoke of the Iraqi liberation in his CPAC address, saying that the GOP is still convinced the war was a good idea. Maher jumped in to argue that ten years down the road might not be the best way to judge the ultimate end result of the Iraq war, and admitted that he’s impressed with where the country is right now.
“If you looked at America in 1786, didn’t look that great, right? And I also must say, I’ve got to admit, it’s a country that’s standing. I thought it wouldn’t be. It’s actually doing better than I thought it would be. Is it a great country? No. Does it have a lot of problems? Yes. But there actually is a country standing there.”

Standing in a walker, wheezing for every breath, unable to control its unruly children (liberals) as they practice every form of deviancy known to man and call the others meanies for not liking it, supervised by a twice-elected Marxist and watched constantly by its enemies to fall over dead.
Uncle Sam is too weak to even swat the little insects that are Democrat-voting minorities sucking enough blood to make a vampire jealous.
It’s one thing to be proud of your nation, but i would really not be bragging about our status right now.

He’s talking about Iraq.

Ambivalent about Bush’s war. Unhappy with the constant upward tax curve in Calif. Who’s kidnapped Bill Maher and who is this clone they’ve replaced him with.

In that case he’s even FURTHER in denial. Iraq is only standing is because Uncle Sam basically has it in a body cast. It didn’t take them one year to vote in Islamic theocracy, the place still isn’t secure, and the day we leave it will fall down.
