George W. Bush just doesn't get it, either out of extraordinarily willful ignorance or unparallelled stupidity, the kind of stupidity previously unseen in the annals of humankind. I'm going to go with the former, by the way, because I fall into the camp that believes the only thing greater than Bush's lack of intelligence is his unwavering faith in the wisdom and decency of Dick Cheney. OK, never mind -- it is his stupidity!
Anyway, here's the latest bit of stupidity Bush has spoken with a straight face, this time to a national television audience on the fifth anniversary of 9/11, a tragic event that probaly could have been avoided if Bush hadn't been so . . . Bush. And not I'm going to tear apart his speech line-by-line, which anyone with a shred of common sense could do, because it would take too much time. Instead, I will comment on this one line here:
"If we yield Iraq to men like bin Laden," Bush said, "our enemies will be emboldened, they will gain a new safe haven, and they will use Iraq's resources to fuel their extremist movement. We will not allow this to happen."
Bush is more than likely correct about one thing in this quote: terrorists will gain a new safe haven if we lose Iraq. The important word in this quote, however, is "new." Yes, it will be a "new safe haven" because it was never a fuckin' safe haven for terrorists before you invaded it, you fuckin' dolt!!!! How many of the 9/11 terrorists were born and raised in Iraq? Zero. How many of them had ties to Saddam Hussein? Zero. How many weapons of mass destruction did Saddam Hussein have? Zero. So what was the logical approach to rounding up terrorists and bringing them to justice after 9/11? Oh, how obvious: why not start a war with a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 in the first place? Yeah, this is a win-win situation: we'll "bring freedom and democracy" to those poor schleps in Iraq who haven't been able to do it for themselves and fatten our Haliburton-filled pockets while we're at it! Catching Bin Laden and his network of terrorists? Fuck that! That can wait until we secure the oil fields in Iraq for our own personal gain! Great fuckin' plan, you bunch of assholes. Never mind that anyone with a freshman's insight into the the situation knows that Bin Laden and Hussein not only harbored different kinds of hatred for the U.S., they harbored some dislike for each other as well. Never mind, then, that because of this dislike Iraq was never the safe haven for terrorists it has become since the Bush brain trust decided that Saddam Hussein had to pay for his complete lack of involvement in 9/11. And never mind that a bunch of the 9/11 hijackers came from our oil-rich friends in Saudi Arabia; no, we don't want to piss them off, do we? No, because that's another great source of Bush and Cheney's income courtesy of the safety and income of every U.S citizen! I mean, when is enough enough for these assholes, anyway? What the fuck is wrong with this society? And why the hell am I a part of it?!!? FUCK!!!
SERENITY NOW!!!
Alright, I think I've calmed down a little. Do you see why I chose only one quote from the War-monger's speech to tear apart? I could go on for hours with logical responses to this idiot's stunning lack of intelligence and common sense, but what would be the point? Besides, the Saints won! They're 1-0! Life is sweet! I shouldn't want to kill myself just because the most unqualified man for the job of Most Powerful Person in the Free World received the position (not "earned" or "won" the position, mind you) not once, but twice! God help us all. Oh, wait, I don't believe in god. Oprah help us all!
