In an interview with the editorial board of the Bucks County Courier Times, embattled Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (Republican) has equated the war in Iraq with J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." According to the paper, Santorum said that the United States has avoided terrorist attacks at home over the past five years because the "Eye of Mordor" has been focused on Iraq instead.
"As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else," Santorum said. "It's being drawn to Iraq and it's not being drawn to the U.S. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the Eye to come back here to the United States."

I really don't want to get started on this rant, but fuck'n a. How can you even begin to compare Iraqi with a fantasy novel? This explains so much about our leadership.

If it was all only just being delusional.

Wtf!

Gandalf=Bush/Blair/Howard?
The Fellowship=US Marines and Army & other peacekeeping forces?
The Shire=the West (US, UK, etc.)?

Wow. I think the books were better. Santorum needs to see his shrink two days a week instead of just once.

That is some off the wall garbage. Where will the eye be focused next?
