Change? MY ASS!

The plan: to occupy an illiterate, medieval country torn by civil war, and beat it into a thriving, peaceful Nation, in 18 months.
In a momentary lapse of reason, I turned to cable news for a scrutinizing analysis of this strategy. Until today, the press corps had been focusing on more important stuff. Kate, Jon, Carrie Prejean, Tiger Woods crashing his car, and Sarah Palin writing a memoir.
Not anymore. All the A-list pundits had gathered behind their laptops, panel style, to comment. Unfortunately, ever since 2003, the CNN break room water fountain has been spiked with Kool-aid by all the military “advisors” that turned out to work for the Bush white house.
Combined with the ingestion of said kool-aid, long term practice of punditry (debating complex issues by yelling at, and interrupting people) shrinks the brain. In windbag world, radical Islam will simply seize to exist if we destroy the Taliban. Infotainment is unburdened by history, or research. If you want the gig as embedded reporter, don’t be a dick. If you’re not willing to believe that more boots on the ground might just make the resentment that fuels Jhad go away, why come along?
At this point, the war on terror makes the war on drugs look good.
It reminds me of a bit by the late, great Bill Hicks:
“…no matter what promises you make on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoky room with the twelve industrialist, capitalist scumfucks that got you in there, and this little screen comes down… and it’s a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you’ve never seen before, which looks suspiciously off the grassy knoll…. And then the screen comes up, the lights come on, and they say to the new president, ‘Any questions?’
“Just what my agenda is.”
Change? MY ASS. Halliburton and Blackwater will continue to make a KILLING on a Billion dollar war America can’t afford, and doesn’t need.
I’m beginning to think that 9-11 might have actually been an inside job!
