Oh, but David that's not important. What is important is that we
kicked ass! America loves a winner. That's why our baseball,
basketball, football, and hockey playoffs declare the winner World
Champs even though the playoffs don't involve teams from the rest of
the world. Put us in something like the World Cup and we hush up
because we suck*.
But I non sequitur. We went to Iraq and removed a bad guy. To us go
the spoils. Everything else - the lies, the illegal backroom deals -
all that isn't important because the Ends (removing Hussein) justifies
the Means. Of course, the Ends are the Ends they tell us - the public
Ends. Who knows what Bush's Ends truly are - dominance of the Middle
East?
Yep, we'll find those Weapons of Mass Destruction Any Day Now. And the
Iraqi paper link to Al Qaeda is also almost found, probably in one of
the looted Baghdad Library books.
I think we need a new national motto instead of "E Pluribus Unum"
(stupid dead language). How about:
"If you can't kick our ass, kiss our ass!"
Yeah, that's sounds very Bushian. Let's get the "liberation" of Syria
over with before the Lakers hit the Finals...
-Ozzy
* Exceptions involve oddly enough womens sports where in soccer we
truly are competitive if not dominant. This is about team sports so
Tiger Woods and Serena Williams don't count (except at the bank).
