The tanks were later joined by another Merkava and an armored bulldozer, which brazenly crossed the main road leading into Bint Jbeil, causing consternation to motorists forced to brake to an unexpected halt.

...America's like a car, and the President is like our father, taking the country on a cross-country trip to freedom. The last thing he needs to do is be pestered by a bunch of brats yelling, 'When are we going to get there?,' 'Why is the sky blue?' and 'Do you have an exit strategy?'" STEPHEN COLBERT...
