Geography Lesson

Could you find Pakistan on a map?


Their nuclear border with Afghanistan runs to nuclear China. A line runs from Beirut through Syria, Iraq, nuclear Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. From Morocco, we travel east along the southern coast of the Mediterranean through muslim Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. These states are all more 'islamofascist' than they were before BushCo, right across the vital oil route from Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

I'm not intersted in making the investment required to ensure safe passage of petroleum from there to China, so we should all prepare ourselves to compete for Canadian oil.

And we’re in a corner at the UN. Iran is persuading the world to their cause. John Bolton is an idiot. What's the price of oil going to be when Iran cuts production? Are we so grateful to China for the cheap DVD players? Are we ready to lose Indonesia to the dark side? South Korea appears to be justifiably turned off to us, since we’re impotent in nuclear North Korea.

English again

Islamofascism. Brilliant word.
Problem:
The US is the party making demands and seeking extraterritorial influence, and thus BushCo seeks to be the appeased party. I agree we need to prevent a nuclear Iran, but I also know better than to trust our Executive's information. So when Santorum brings it up again remember he thinks US Treasury Bonds are worthless when it’s convenient.

These Republicans seek general war. It's the only reason they're so carefully pushing the Islamic dictatorships into the same corner with their enraged fanatic subjects. Nothing at the RNC happens by accident. We have to assume they’re succeeding- they get paid too much to be incompetent.

English

Play pool? English is what you put on the cue ball to make it spin correctly. You can make the cue ball ride all the way around a ball to hit the target, which could be set to spinning too. Sometimes you have to. But the shot happens once and it's over. The game continues, but no two shots are identical.

So why does the Blame the Democrats First party consistently try to spin "Blame America First"? I think we've all made it pretty clear we blame the Republicans. The whole mob tries like crazy to spin the story around the big ball in their path.

"Redeploy" is another piece of English. This time, it's us Americans being polite. Republicans of every stripe (maybe there are Republicans with other than a white stripe down their backs) complain: "Why don't they say 'withdraw' or 'surrender'?" I think what we're saying is this:

"Thank you very much Mr. Bush, you've done a super job. But now it's time to stop screwing up everything you touch. Go back on vacation. You said it yourself: Mission Accomplished. It was hard to ignore, you rode in a plane, landed on a carrier in the Atlantic and strutted before a big banner that read 'Mission Accomplished.' Still we wage war, so I guess that's the mission. Afghanistan was easy, relevant and incomplete- and with no oil or strong allies it wasn't causing any global trouble. Permanent war is the mission. I understand. Go back to Texas so we can return to a leadership position in the world. Ousting you would give us back the moral authority you squandered ineffectively as poilitical capital."

But this wouldn't be the first time they didn't read the memo.
