Condi to Iraq - Hurry the Hell Up...

[paparush]

and form a government so we can start blaming this shitstorm on you guys.

1. What's with this "surprise visit" stuff the corporate media keeps saying?

How about "Condi and Jack Straw had to sneak into Baghdad"?

[JDPriestly]

2. OK -- so other than saying "Please," what is she going to do?

Is she going to threaten a pull-out? a coup? What are her alternatives?

Let's face it. The Bush administration has painted itself into a corner and our whole nation with it.

Those thousands of mistakes sure add up, don't they Condi?

My analysis: Bush & Co. are going to either pull out of the scuffle in Iraq while keeping a major military presence in protected enclaves or simply take over and forget about all the democracy talk.

My prediction: To give themselves cover and avoid looking like the fools they are, they will distract the public's attention with some huge story about something else -- bombings of Iran, some conflict in Asia or India? Something in South America? Something very interesting is likely to happen somewhere in the world. Something that draws America's focus away from Iraq. Your guess as to what it will be.

3. My analysis and prediction...

They will continue to screw this up royally, lots more people will end up dead, and they will never admit failure.

4. Being a Republician today

Things you have to believe to be a Republican today.....

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary


Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's

daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and

a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.


Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade

with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.


The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest

national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.


A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but

multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind

without regulation.


The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in

speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.


If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.


A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then

demand their cooperation and money.


Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing

health care to all Americans is socialism.


HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at

heart.


Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but

creationism should be taught in schools.


A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable

offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which

thousands die is solid defense policy.


Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution,

which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.


The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but

George Bush's driving record is none of our business.



Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a

conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers

for your recovery.


What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but

what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.


Pass it on.

Friends don't let friends vote Republican.
