"We cannot let our enemies strike first....
"To forestall or prevent such hostile acts by our adversaries, the United States will, if necessary, act preemptively."
– 2002 Bush administration National Security Strategy
I'm just a-wonderin' -- those weapons of mass destruction. Where are they? Have they been found yet? Maybe I missed it when the power was out.
And whereabouts is that weapons-grade uranium? Oh, yeah, that stuff was found in a fake report generated 10 years ago by British Intelligence.
The only weapon of mass destruction that was unleashed in Iraq was the United States military. Fuckin' A -- what a weapon!!
How much is this debacle costing the American taxpayer every day in dollars? I lost track of the last figure. Ask Dick Cheney -- his buddies at Halliburton might know. They are getting a huge chunk of that money.
How much is this debacle going to cost in lives? We will never really know.
And the Education President? Where is he? He, who could have acted pre-emptively in forestalling or even preventing the disintegration of our educational system by allocating some or all of the tens of billions spent on the "war" to that system for improving the lot of inner city children in Chicago, Oakland, Cleveland, and any city you want to name, is nowhere to be found.
Aaaaah -- the re-distribution of wealth. I forgot -- that was a radical idea back in 1972 and times haven't changed much.
No, on second thought, times have changed. The body counts today are much less than they were back then; and for that, we should be grateful. What did the philosopher Charlie Brown say? "Some people just don't know sarcasm when they hear it."
Georgie, can you hear me?

We did free a nation from a cruel tyrant-- liberation of the children's prisons came at no extra charge-- and the British stand by the authenticity of the Niger uranium charge.
