A brief political aside - Who Asked
Them Anyway? It is undeniably a good thing that
the Iraqis aren't in charge in Iraq, because a new
poll by the British Ministry of Defense shows that those ungrateful
towelheads have about as much political common sense as a bag of sticks.
I dare say that you're not going to get this story on FOX.
But to be fair, I doubt you'll get it on CNN or NBC either. Oh man, the
stats I'm going to report will probably make your blood boil if you have
even a drop of belief left in emperor George. And if you don't, it's still
going to make your blood boil, probably even more so. It looks increasingly
like we really will have to kill them all and let God sort it out. And here
I was, thinking that was nothing but a t-shirt slogan.
Let's start out with the loneliest number - one. (Although
two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one.)
One percent - that's the number of Iraqis that think Allied forces
have improved security in their country. Get out of here! Oh, right,
that's what the Iraqis say. Eighty-two percent - that's a big 8-2 - say we
should get the fuck out of Dodge.
82%!!! That's like eight out of ten or something.
Apparently we are going to have to try a little harder to knock some sense
into these guys, because they're just not feeling the love.
Think there are just a few more insurgents to mop up?
Let's play semantics for a moment. What is a terrorist? No, don't get all
political on me, I don't want to talk sociology or psychology or culture and
religion. What is the boiled down to the bones image that the popular media
and the political hack dogs want you to think of when you hear the word
'terrorist'? We can't over simplify enough here - It is someone who would
wish harm on a good person like YOU - you, in this case, being the brave men
and women who have gotten themselves stuck in the middle of the emperor's
crusade. Forty-five per cent of Iraqis believe attacks against British and
American troops are justified, i.e., they don't just want us out, they want
us dead. Mull that figure over for a minute. The kill 'em all quote doesn't
sound so flippant now, does it, not if you're running on Bush logic. |
