Its A Freak Country

I am looking at the Sunday paper, and I gotta say, "What the hell?...

One story tells how Nuri Al-Maliki, the president of Iraq, says that we can go home or to hell, or whatever. Another tells of a recent surge in Air Force bombing missions over Iraq.

If they don't want us there, and we don't want to be there, and we have to keep dropping expensive bombs and shooting expensive bullets (and we Soldiers ain't cheap, either, no matter what you may have heard), why don't we just leave Iraq?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking a political side here, because I don't really believe that Congress or the President give a rat's ass what I think, anyway. What I am saying is that, at this point, how can we possibly benefit from continuing in Iraq? What are our long-term goals? We aren't exactly making the world a better place (aside from killing a few wannabe martyrs). We aren't stealing oil (which, I must add, is an exeptionally poor policy). We are just there...

So screw 'em. Let's pull out, let the civil war run hot and heavy, and get on with the business of giving our country to Mexico (is that the plan?) and Ecuador. These nutjob ragheads will get done killing each other (eventually), and then we can bomb the shit out of their terrorist training camps and go back to life as it should be.

In the meantime, I'm watching Congress make a big show of voting for an exit plan, knowing all the while that the Commander-in-Chief gets to make that call. People are on the edge of their seats while yet again our illustrious fat-ass three-piece leaders pontificate and posture their way toward the fantastic day of choice that always ends up about as satisfying as a tiny fart on the toilet after a mad dash to the john due to an anticipated intestinal nuclear event.

I love America. Stupid sells, and, by God, we got plenty. Fags and freaks, wetbacks and dope fiends, we have it all! Yes, sir. Step right up, we'll entertain you with our every move, motive, and attitude! We'll overstate the obvious, understate the extreme, over do and under sell every domestic product, and we'll even dumb down the next generation so you get more long-term stupidity for your hard-earned nine-dollars-an-hour minimum fucking wage!

We have turned America into a sad, stupid clown, and while it may be inconvenient for the likes of you, faithful reader, the whole world is laughing at us, so we can at least go to our grave knowing that we have been, as always, a beacon to the world.
