Saturday, February 19, 2005 This Falls Into the "Hey, Let's Just Declare War on the Entire Middle East" Category Soemetimes I just can't honestly believe that Bush's handlers don't keep a tighter leash on his BIG FAT MOUTH. Get this... on 2/18, Bush announced that the US would completely back Israel if Israel were to attack Iran to destroy their nuclear capabilities (not their nuclear bombs, because we don't even know if they have those, but hell, who cares, just invade and attack ANY NATION PRE-EMPTIVELY if you feel like it). Let see if I can add this all up...Bush warns Syria that they must obey a UN resolution to leave Lebanon...or else. That's especially amusing to me...Bush telling another country to obey the UN...and Bush telling another country that they have to remove their occupying troops from a nation that was invaded--and that invaded nation now wants the occupying troops to get the hell out a.s.a.p. That's the freaking pot calling the kettle black, huh? And then Syria and Iran announce that they are joining together as a united front to stave off any "outside threats"...oh, say...threats like the US or Israel??... and now Bush says that we would go to war with Israel if they are so inclined to go to war. Why don't we just spare everyone the freaking time and bother and just go all out and declare pre-emptive wars on the entire Middle East and get it over with? Of course, that goes without saying that the draft would be reinstated in a heartbeat, but I'm sure that Bush would just wring his hands and shrug his shoulders and tell us that he really, really didn't want to...but he JUST HAD TO because these countries posed immediate and imminent threats to us...yeah, just like Iraq did, right? And oh yeah---Jenna and Barbara are exempt from the draft for genetic stupidity, and even though we would be involved in waging wars in at least 4 different countries---he is NOT raising taxes on the rich because it would cause them undue hardships & may even stop them from hiding their children from the draft, who would be skiing & snowboarding & siteseeing in Swiss chalets until the wars would be over. |
