I thought this was the South Side of Chicago.

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

Listen, hypocrisy is progress.

And there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t get through this one either.
