Pentagon Announces September 11-Iraqapalooza!!

Bush's ratings are in the toilet, and Karl Rove can't resist milking 9/11 for political gain one more time:

pontificator's diary :: ::

The Pentagon would hold a massive march and country music concert to mark the fourth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in an announcement tucked into an Iraq war briefing today.



Word of the event startled some observers.

"I've never heard of such a thing," said John Pike, who has been a defence analyst in Washington for 25 years and runs GlobalSecurity.org.

The news also reignited debate and anger over linking September 11 with the war in Iraq.

"That piece of it is disturbing since we all know now there was no connection," said Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraq veteran who heads Operation Truth, an anti-administration military booster.



Rumsfeld's march had some relatives of September 11 victims fuming.

"How about telling Mr Rumsfeld to leave the memories of September 11 victims to the families?" said Monica Gabrielle, who lost her husband in the attacks.


Remember, this pathetically inappropriate and frankly embarassing piece of political propaganda -- which you know will link September 11 and Iraq -- is being paid for with our tax dollars. I'm sure it will get glowing press coverage from Armstrong Williams.

Here are Clint's lyrics to "IRAQ AND ROLL"

You can wave your signs in protest
Against America taking stands
The stands America's taken
Are the reason that you can

If everyone would go for peace
There'd be no need for war
But we can't ignore the devil
He'll keep coming back for more

Some see this in black and white
Others only gray
But we're not begging for a fight
No matter what they say

We've got the resolution
That should put 'em all to shame
But it's a different kind of deadline
When I'm called in the game

Chorus
I RAQ, I Rack'em up and I ROLL
I'm back and I'm a high tech G.I. Joe
I pray for peace and prepare for war
and I never will forget There's no price too high for freedom
so be careful where you tread

The terror isn't man to man
They can be no more than cowards
If they won't show us their weapons
We might have to show them ours

It might be a smart bomb, They find stupid people too
If you stand with the likes of Saddam
One just might find you

Chorus II
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'm back and I'm a high tech G.I. Joe
I got infrared, gps and good old fasnioned lead
No price too high for freedom
Be careful where you tread

Bridge
Now you can come along
Or you can stay behind
Or you can get out of the way
But our troops take out the garbage
For the Good old U.S.A.

I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL In the USA
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'm talkin' about the USA

Here are my lyrics to "IRAN BECUZ IM A CHICKENHAWK"

You can wave your signs in protest
Against America taking stands
But the fact really is
The right wingers don't give a damn

If everyone would go along with Bush
His poll numbers would stop falling
And they wouldn't have to keep on
Scaring Americans shitless (sorry, can't rhyme LOL)

I don't intend to fight no war
Cause I'm a spineless coward
I can't imagine not eating my cornflakes
And taking my daily shower

Some see this in red and blue
Some see this in gray
But if you don't support the Republicans (yeah yeah yeah)
Then you must be gay

We've got the resolution
That should put 'em all to shame
But it's a different kind of deadline
When I'm called in the game

Chorus
I RAN, I Ran away from war (cause I'm a chickenhawk)
I'm such a damn, little chickenhawk
I pray that there's no draft, that I don't have to go fight
Cause I would shit my pants
Cause I'm a stupid redneck dittohead

The terror isn't man to man
And I'm a stupid coward
If they won't show us their weapons that don't exist
Let's just show em ours

It might be a smart bomb, They find them muslims too
If you stand with the likes of Saddam Bin Laden Ahmadinejad
One just might find you

Chorus II
I RAN, I Ran away from war (cause I'm a chickenhawk)
I'm such a damn, little chickenhawk
I pray that there's no draft, that I don't have to go fight
Cause I would shit my pants
Cause I'm a stupid redneck dittohead

Bridge
Now you can come along
Or you can stay behind like the coward
That is in me
But our troops take out the garbage
For the Good old G.O.P

I RAN, I Ran away from war (cause I'm a chickenhawk)
I RAN, I Ran away from war (cause I'm a chickenhawk)
In the good ole GOP

(sorry, needs some polishing)

1. Is this a JOKE? What a strange and offensive idea.

[cdb]

2. Sounds like a prime target for terrorism to me.

Or maybe a nice peaceful protest regarding the politicization of 9/11

[mamiesb2001]

3. I say a bunch of folks show up dressed in black and stand there silently

while the music plays.

Callous motherfuckers.

[patrioticliberal]

4. Unfortunately, it's NOT a joke

5. Holy Shit--I wasted all that effort yesterday bitching about "Arlington"

As awful as Trace Adkins song really is, it's nothing compared to this one. And when taken in the larger context "Iraq and Roll" falls to the level of permanent national obscenity.

[peekaloo]

6. warm up band Mohammed and the Atta Boys

when oh when is "Swim to Gitmo" week?

[Orrex]

7. Worst. Joke. Ever. And shame on me for laughing at it!

And I'm still laughing! :rofl:

That was just what I needed after reading this sickening story.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Isn't it nice that the Pentagon is so proud of their work?

[Supersedeas]

9. Iraq - 9/11 9/11 - Iraq Iraq - 9/11 9/11 - Iraq Iraq - 9/11 9/11 - Iraq

[rniel]

16. They're celebrating

The tremendous mileage republicans got after september 11th. They count their lucky stars every day that thousands of americans died on that day. They will sing hallelujah.
