1. Pentagon
Remember all those so-called "support the troops" rallies that took place before
the invasion of Iraq?...I often wonder where those people are now - I mean, you
don't see a lot of them around. Waving flags, parading in the streets,
"supporting the troops" - or was that only when we were confronted with the
exciting opportunity to kill lots of brown people? ... It's a shame really,
because the troops could probably do with a bit of extra support right now.
Take, for example, the wounded soldiers who have to pay for meals while they're
in the hospital. Last week it was revealed that the Pentagon is literally adding
insult to injury by charging soldiers who were wounded in Iraq for meals they
ate while recuperating. Some soldiers are having to write checks for up to $300
to cover the cost of their food. Odd really - George W. Bush just asked the
American people for another $87 billion to foot the bill for his Iraq folly,
meanwhile the Pentagon is trying to squeeze an extra dollar here and there from
soldiers who were wounded in action. Still, I suppose in a time of war everyone
has to make sacrifices. Everyone except Bush's super-rich friends of course, who
just get an enormous tax cut.
2. Cheney
Perhaps Vice President Crashcart should have stayed in his hidey-hole, because
the minute he stuck his head out last week he got whacked like a fat, bald,
atherosclerotic mole. The problem started when Cheney appeared on "Meet the
Press" to regurgitate the usual Bush administration lies about Saddam's
connections to Osama bin Laden. Said he, "If we're successful in Iraq, if we can
stand up a good representative government in Iraq, that secures the region so
that it never again becomes a threat to its neighbors or to the United States,
so it's not pursuing weapons of mass destruction, so that it's not a safe haven
for terrorists, now we will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the
base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under
assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11." But what's this? A few
days later, the White House denied that they had ever linked Iraq to 9/11.
"We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with September 11," said
George W. Bush himself. Whoops! I guess Dick's feeling a little embarrased now.
It must be awfully tough to be smacked down by the boy idiot who's supposed to
be taking your orders.
3 and 4. Dubya
But wait, hold on there a minute. "We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was
involved with September 11?" Then why, in the rush to war, did George W. Bush
find it practically impossible to mention the word "Iraq" without also using the
words "September 11" in the same sentence? Why has the administration done
everything in its power to connect the secular Saddam Hussein with the
fundamentalist Osama bin Laden? Why do 70% of Americans think that Saddam was
behind 9/11? Why did the administration start drawing up plans to invade Iraq
the minute it heard a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center? Why is Dick
Cheney going around saying that Iraq is the "geographic base of the terrorists
who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11?"
What the hell kinda crack is George W. Bush on exactly? Give me a break. You
know, I remember the good old days when Our Great Leader was insisting that he
would be avoiding "even the appearance of impropriety." Who would have thought
that after making White House employees take an oath that they would all be an
"example of humility and decency and fairness," Bush would go on to consistently
lie to the American people, alienate our long-standing foreign allies, and rush
us into a quagmire which has become a death trap for American soldiers, a
financial black hole, and from which there is no easy means of escape? Oh yeah,
not to mention swagger around on an aircraft carrier with his balls hanging out.
More George W. Bush
It seems Our Great Leader is taking further steps to avoid "even the appearance
of impropriety" by not telling Congress where almost half of the $4 billion
spent each month on Iraq is going. Just to make this absolutely clear, about
$1.5 billion a month of the administration's spending is simply disappearing,
and now Dubya wants us to cough up another $87 billion - which he also doesn't
want to have to account for. Okay, so we know that the money isn't going to
cover the cost of meals for wounded soldiers - they have to pull themselves up
by the bootstraps (which can be difficult if you're missing a limb). And we know
it's not going towards finding weapons of mass destruction, because there aren't
any. So where is it going? Sen. Ted Kennedy thinks the missing money is
potentially being used to bribe other countries to send their troops to help us
out, although it doesn't appear to be working so far. But there are other
possibilites. I'm sure Dick Cheney's undisclosed location runs up a hefty
electric bill, for example. And I expect Dubya spent a lot on pay-per-view
during his month-long vacation at the pig farm. Or perhaps Halliburton needs to
have some conference rooms refurbished. I guess we may never know...
It just goes on and on and on....
I feel like the guy at the end of 'Bridge over River Kwai' Madness! Sheer
madness!!
Guess what I'm whistling right now (it ain't 'Dixie')
