Answer- Someone needs to step down and they all need to learn how to fucking get along!
You’ll have to excuse me here for getting a little worked up, but seriously, WTF is going on? It’s a wretched time to be an American. We’ve got recession on tap, joblessness (can’t say unemployment because most jobless people have given up on looking for new job and filing for unemployment, so the numbers are going down) never-ending war, and the people we all hoped might be able to drag us out of this won’t get out of each other’s shit, unite, and try to actually do something good for the country and it’s people. Like Bill Clinton said recently- “Chill out.” (Only, he said it for the wrong cause. Bill buddy, your wife is losing. Get over it.)
Democrats… someone either stop Hillary, or tell Obama that he’s good, the people like him, but the machine wants him to wait his turn. Because right now, the more the two candidates drag this out and go back and forth with each other, the longer McCain gets to be largely ignored by the media and come into the actual elections looking relatively good- as he’s spent months letting the Dems do the work of tearing themselves apart for him.
And Iraq… oh Iraq. We need to talk. There’s something that’s been bugging us lately, and it’s mostly got to do with the fact that you all really don’t want us around. Well guess what? We don’t really want to be there either, but unless you can get all your religious factions to unite around common love for your state, we’re not going to be allowed to leave because someone somewhere thinks we’re keeping the peace or something. I don’t give a rats ass if you’re a sunni or shiite or kurd, or if the whole damn country decides to convert to scientology. Don’t care. But guess what, I don’t agree with what the psycho-right-wing-conservative-christian-led government we’ve got here is up to 99% of the time, but shooting up the joint isn’t really the best way to go about these things. Especially where you’ve got psycho-right-wing-conservative-christian-cowboys like Dubbya involved in the show.
Ok, militias, the top dog wants you all to lay down your arms. Got it. Welcome to every backwoods NRA member asshole’s compound up in the forests of bumfuck USA. “You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hand”. If you want to keep your guns, go hole up somewhere, shut up, and if you keep yours asses out of trouble, people will ignore you. Then you can set up target practice ranges and fire off all the weapons you want. al-Maliki, al-Sadr, you two need to sit down and work something out, or one of you has to take your people and go somewhere else. It’s that simple.
And hey, we’ll accept blame. We came into Iraq, we fucked it all up, factioned you guys up worse than before, and then played you all against each other so that we could claim we were working with the people to fight extremists.
Look, we’d love to make things better for you guys, but haven’t you realized? We can’t even figure out the relatively simple issue of our own country, which largely sits within the same political and religious spectrum, with a few easily workable differences (”in god we trust” is on the money, guess what- money IS the god we’re putting our trust in. It’s got nothing to do with Jesus. So atheists, I feel for you, but currency is the god we’re all kneeling to, you included. Get over it.) so how in the blue hell do you think we’re gonna be able to figure you guys out? You all need to fix your damn country so we can pretend we had something to do with it, and leave feeling proud that we “stayed the course” or “accomplished the mission” or some other bumper sticker nonsense.
Which brings me back home… Dems. If you really want to fix America, start with yourselves. If you’re not going to pull troops out, then say it. Stop all the bullshit about pulling “combat forces” from Iraq, meaning you’ll be leaving just about everyone who’s over there now, because a large brunt of the forces are either support, or “peace keeping” or training. And stop pretending you’re anything but politicians. You’re not preachers, you’re not working class, you’re not heroes or victims… you’re politicians. You’re walking talking scum sucking pieces of trash that unfortunately we need to run our country without us because the public that was supposed to be keeping tabs on things- decided to watch The Simple Life with Paris Hilton instead of caring about what’s going on in the economy (wish you’d paid atttention now don’t you?). And for the love of god (read: $) settle down and pick just one person to run for President, because as bad as a Democrat might be in office… at least it wouldn’t be another Republican promising continued war and having no ideas in regards to domestic policies. Sorry John, I can appreciate your past and all, but Iraq is a money pit, and we’re not really set up to “win” anything without sinking our country so deep it’ll never recover.
I know I’ve gotten off on a bit of a rant here today… but let’s face it, if you’re not pissed off- you’re not paying enough attention.
