Bush has discovered his vaunted weapons of mass destruction. And in a surprising move, it proves to be the Iraqui people themselves. Instead of greeting US troops as liberating saviors bringing them the blessings of freedom and capitalism, they are treating coalition forces as rank invaders! This indeed is a puzzlement?

The "bring it on" challenge evokes Truman's earthy pro-active stance. Let's draw our lines in the sand. No nation on earth should dare to either challange the United States, or citicize her, or not openly agree with her interests. We are truly the toughest kid on the block.

And in the Texican tradition we have the fastest gun.

Of course, only an ahistorical buffoon would dare ignore the fastest gun was constantly challenged by others wanting to be the fastest.

A proffered solution to Iraq would be for the US to immediately withdraw and let the Shia and Sunni kill each other off. We know we can do business with the Kurds, and if they are the survivors we will have plenty of oil shipped for our SUV's.

The money saved by troop withdrawal could be funneled to the Mujihedin Khalaq's armament to aid their attempt to overthrow that other named axis of evil, Iran. This would complete the Retardlicans need to invade Iran in a cost effective mode.

Maybe then the US could get the gratitude expected from saving these worthy oriental gentlemen.
