Bon Voyage, Mr. Al-Maliki

  • "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job," George W. Bush announced in front of the entire world on September 2, 2005.

    Ten days later, on September 12, 2005, FEMA chief Michael Brown resigned.

  • "Both those men are doing fantastic jobs and I strongly support them," said George W. Bush in front of the entire world on November 2, 2006, about his Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his sharp-shooting Vice-President Dick Cheney.

    Seven days later, on November 9, 2006, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld resigned.

  • "He's the right guy for Iraq!" announced George W. Bush, in praise of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, today, November 30, 2006.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this does not bode well for Mr. al-Maliki, who will probably be out of a job in about a week.

    Do not despair, though, because Mr. al-Maliki will be a very rich man, having been paid from the Treasury of the United States, while many Americans will still be out on the streets, homeless, and without adequate meals and the infant mortality rate for African-Americans will still be one-and-one-half times that of the United States as a whole, with 9.3 deaths per 1,000 births [I noticed after accessing the site for stats on infant mortality that I was at a secure CIA site, whatever that means].

    It is really very difficult to believe our nation's situation, as well as the world's, will improve anytime soon; so very difficult to think positively these days...dammit, how do we do Christmas with heart?

    They might assassinate him. Can't think of another way to remove him while not being the electorate of his country.

    Well if Al Maliki decides to bag his cash and cop a Benz to Jordan, he can be replaced. We have Als up the wazoo. Al Gore's free, as are Al Bundy and Weird Al Yankovick. The latter is probably perfect for the job.
