I'm selecting the ones that I think tell what I want to hear because this is what I want to do. I want to invade Iraq, damn it. So I call that capitalized on what happened on purpose, cow hop. Instead of lie hop or my hop, it's cow hop. Capitalized on what happened on purpose. Like Roosevelt wanted to support Great Britain against the Nazis, but he couldn't. He needed a pretext.
