BUSH’S SUPPLY-SIDE TERROR-NOMICS
A joint panel composed of the national intelligence agencies, and the American Academy of Economists, has concluded that by exponentially increasing the number of terrorists, Bush Administration policies constitute “Supply-Side Terror-nomics.”

According to the panel, Bush/Cheney Supply-Side Terror-nomics works as follows: across-the-board invasions of foreign countries, coupled with drastic cuts in the resources needed to establish civil order in those nations, results in a greater output of global jihadists.

The theoretical model for this approach is known as the Laugher Curve.

While supply-side economics was once derided by Bush Senior as “voodoo economics” – which would result only in large deficits – Supply-Side Terror-nomics appears to be on more solid footing.

As noted economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman explained, “Dubya has really accomplished what many thought was impossible: both an unlimited supply of Al Qaeda cells, and an actual surplus of countries that utterly despise the United States.”

This analysis was confirmed by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, which found that Bush has created terrorists “as far as the eye can see.” The CBO also stated that if one “stacked the terrorists up on top of each other, not even counting their turbans, they would go from here to the moon and back 79 times.”

But perhaps the most conclusive validation of Supply-Side Terror-nomics can be seen in the latest third-quarter results from Iraq, where there has been an astounding 800% increase in decapitation gains.

never seen such a war. Those poor soldiers on the ground. Just enough to keep the war going. Not enough to win. A slow war seems to have been the assumption Rummy would never talk about.

IMHO
