Bushista spin on Saddam's capture

[Wetzelbill]

This cracked me up. Especially the last couple lines. -Bill

Just for the Hell of it, let's sketch out the best Bushista spin on this event. (Warning: not for those with weak stomachs).

Now the mission really is "accomplished!" We did what we set out to do -- we've taken out that awful man, Saddam, and we are now well underway toward bringing democracy to Iraq and to the Middle East. With the head cut off, Iraqi terrorism will wither away and soon we can send many of our troops home. Saddam will tell us where he hid the WMDs and will lead us to the Al Qaeda terrorists. We know he has those weapons and that he was in cahoots with Osama, because our President told us so, and surely he wouldn't lie to us! Oil revenues will pay for the reconstruction of Iraq, and soon the Iraqi people and the people of the world will all come to recognize our noble motives and will appreciate all that we have done for the cause of peace, democracy, and Christianity. (Oops -- strike that last word). At last, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

(Where have we heard that before?)

Now if you believe all that, you likely also believe in the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, and Rush Limbaugh. And, like most Americans, you suffer from acute historical amnesia - Ernest Partridge, co-editor of "The Crisis Papers."
