”Buck Up Americans, We’re In for the Long Haul”
It was time for the President to do us folks out here in la-la land a favor and give us some upbeat news about Iraq. So last night, June 28, 2005 in this year of our Lord, from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, President George Dubya Bush gave his speech.
Yes, we know it’s hard work. Not helped by the liberal Greek Chorus on the side who point fingers and shout/sing their derision about Iraq events when not one of them could run such a difficult operation for even one minute.
The speech was your basic ‘here’s what we’re doing”.
Oh, and a whole bunch of congress critters went to Gitmo, did yon readers hear?
Not that the NY Times or WAPO covered it or anything. Even Shiela Jackson Lee had to admit the base was a model of proper prison management.
Our people aren’t mistreating those prisoners at Gitmo. Sure there must be times, like when a terrorist throws feces at our guards, that tempers flare. The guard might touch the Koran, say, or call the prisoner a name. Hey, these sorts of things happen in American prisons all across the fruited plains every damn day.
They’re trying. “They” being liberals who would hear the terrorists’ laments even as the terrorists plot a major attack against our citizens. “They” being much of the United Nations which is spreading around oil-for-food money to all politicians who will get us out of Iraq that they not lose a good thing. “They” being cowards who would wait for an attack rather than try to prevent one.
What would the world be like if Saddam were still in power?
Yes. Right now. Right this minute.
Suppose after going to the UN as congress instructed, Bush decided to throw in the towel and let Saddam reign?
What would the world be like?
Saddam would likely continue building palaces. His evil spawn Uday and Kusay would still be raping Iraqi women at will. Saddam’s terrorist friends situated all across the Mideast and Pakistan would be taking his money and building dirty nukes. Saddam’s well-paid and evil Biologists would be cooking up some nasty poisons and plotting how to spread it across the United States.
Assisted by the UN which we now know allowed Iraq to openly violate the sanctions it was supposed to police, taking Saddam’s oil-for-food largesse and living high on the hog.
Syria and Saudi Arabia would be seriously looking the other way because while Saddam and his lust for power concerns them, they’d have no problem with America going down in ashes. America gets on the thieves and thugs who run those countries. It would be nice to get rid of that big pain in the neck across the Atlantic.
Saddam would be emboldened due to our lack of action. Because if George W. Bush didn’t do it then for sure no one else would do it. Saddam would know he was safe. He’d be regarded with awe across the Muslim world.
I’m thinking, maybe by now, maybe next year, America would suffer an attack designed to bring it down. Because that is exactly what 9-11-01 was meant to do. The strategery of choosing the pentagon, the trade center, perhaps congress or the White House, was meant to throw this country into economic and political chaos. The terrorists who attacked our country weren’t necessary trying to kill lots of Americans. Had they wanted to kill lots of Americans they’d have rammed all of those planes into Disney World or a stadium sponsoring a huge sports event.
They wanted to bring this country down and damn I wish Bush would state this emphatically once in a while. So many Americans seem to forget this.
If Saddam were still in power we can be sure he’d get it right the next time. Him and his terrorist Mideast allies along with lots of UN money. Instead of sitting in jail in his underwear, Saddam would be dishing out money to terrorists who would likely be figuring out the attack that would end this country’s existence.
It might be biological. It might be nuclear.
But Saddam would be right in the thick of it. Once the United States was helpless, the entire Mideast would hail and acknowledge Saddam as the hero they would consider him to be. A UN army, peopled by many volunteers from the Mideast, would “help” America recover from the massive attack.
In due course we’d all be reading the Koran.
With the Ten Commandments Out of Mind and Out of Sight as ordered by the Supreme Court.

There’s just not enough money in the world to overcome the force of gravity.
When flying souped-up lawnmowers across the skies without knowledge of how to operate the thing, gravity often wins.
Gravity.
And hey, a strange form of natural selection.
From BBC.com
John Walton, son of the founder of the US Wal-Mart retail chain, has died when his light aircraft crashed in Wyoming.
No one else was aboard the plane piloted by the 58-year-old billionaire, which crashed shortly after take-off from Jackson Hole.
Walton was the world's 11th richest person, worth in excess of $18bn according to Forbes magazine.
