Dear George,
Your critics swarm like gnats on a humid evening. Narrow and parochial, they pick nits ‘til their fingers bleed. The one thing they don’t have is your grandiose vision. It is this vision that enables you to call your critics defeatists even though we are already defeated in Iraq. Yours is the genius of ineptitude. When an inner vision drives a man, that vision becomes truth and transcends all evidence to the contrary. This is why faith is faith.
Ineptitude in one area simply screens genius in another. Iraq is an integral part of the big picture as you see it. Iraq is essential because it is the rat hole down which you are dumping billions upon billions of dollars. Hell, losing those pallets of hundred-dollar bills was brilliant. Your military fuck ups are guaranteeing a prolonged war that will eat up even more of our taxpayers’ money.
The purpose of your Iraq enterprise is not democracy, or WMDs, or oil, or a stabilized Middle East. No, it is to drain the public treasury. Our Corporatists has had but one goal since Ronnie took office, and that is to gut the infrastructure of social programs that have contributed so much to the common welfare.
When you have a public that has become far too accustomed to economic security, it is near impossible to eliminate these programs legislatively. So, stealth is needed. A far more productive approach is to slash the treasury’s throat and let it bleed out. The cornerstone of this approach is the fiasco in Iraq. As our indebtedness grows, the funding of social programs becomes more and more difficult, and they either die or become so anemic that their impact is minimized.
You have played it beautifully, George. By making all the wrong decisions in Iraq you have guaranteed that America will once again become a nation of rugged, but impoverished, individualists.
Keep screwing up. Your incompetence is leading us towards a time when Americans will once again pull themselves up by their bootstraps even though they are shoeless.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
