A Memorandum of misinformation The Kansas City Star Posted on Sat, Apr. 05, 2008 Opinion by R. C. Lokeman The Kansas City Star.

"Since when do we give Congressmen the right to call foreign assistance "two bits" and demean their help? On one hand, the US Government wants us to believe that we are attempting to allow Iraqi forces to control themselves, but then they think we should allow them to call them "two bit"s and demean them on our shores? I don't think so: It doesn't work that way."
