What? It seems like the safest place to be... (free ticket to Afghanistan?)

"What an honor it is for you to have me here, and what a thrill it is to bring my show to the men and women in the U.S. military in Iraq. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Iraq. The country so nice, we invaded it twice." --Stephen Colbert

"You know, it's my first trip to Iraq. I don't know why I haven't made it here before, but it's hard to explain to the people back home just how hot it is here. Let me put it this way: When Saddam Hussein got to hell, I'm guessing he asked for a blanket." --Stephen Colbert 

"But you know, it must be nice here in Iraq, because I understand some of you keep coming back again, and again, and again. The good news is, you've earned enough frequent flier miles for a free ticket to Afghanistan." --Stephen Colbert
