"Mock the Vote"
By Damien Cave
Joke is on America
When President Bush was making jokes to the News
Correspondents Association about his inability to
find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, he was
not making a joke on himself, as the Bush lovers
would have us believe, the joke he was making was
on America.
Over 700 American lives lost and the commander in
chief thinks it?s a joke.
Thousands more Americans wounded, many with lost
limbs, and the commander in chief thinks it?s a
joke.
At least 10,000 Iraqis who had nothing to do with
9/11 attacks on America have been killed, all
because of the president?s WMD claims, and the
commander in chief thinks it?s a joke.
The joke?s on us, America, and Halliburton is
laughing all the way to the bank. The joke?s on
us, America, and bin Laden?s laughter is echoing
throughout the caves of Afghanistan; after all,
we destroyed his second most hated enemy, Saddam,
and then opened up Iraq for bin Laden?s
terrorists to terrorize the Iraqi people and
attack our forces. The joke?s on us, America,
because this president said that he would never
negotiate with a murdering terrorist dictator,
yet negotiate he did, with the murdering
terrorist dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the same
Gadhafi who killed hundreds of Americans in a
number of terrorist attacks.
The joke?s on us, America, the president was only
joking about WMDs in Iraq, he?s now saying that
the real reason for going to war in Iraq was to
bring freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people.
Americans know that democracy is the best form of
government, but most Americans are smart enough
to know that nationalism makes it difficult to
force democracy on a people. Nationalism will
make a people fight an occupation army no matter
how good the intentions of the occupiers are, and
no matter how much money the occupiers spend.
America?s resolve is strong, and America does
have a successful history as an occupation army,
but a closer look will show that an occupation is
only successful when the occupiers are invited
in, or when nearly all the men and boys of
fighting age of the occupied country are
annihilated. This was the case in the successful
occupations of Germany and Japan after World War
II.
The joke?s on us, America, and even the
Bush-lovers fell for it. It turns out the Saddam
did give up his WMDs, but not because of anything
that Bush did, but because of the actions of
former President Clinton. Actions that did not
get one American servicemember killed.
Re-electing these guys would be the mother of all
jokes, and the joke will be on us, America.
