War Criminal Comedy!
by Don Nash
Brick-ah-brack-ah-firecracker sis-boom-bah! Bomb Tehran bomb Tehran rah-rah-rah!
Nothing says warmongering madness like a CNN report that lacks vital relevant facts. Iranians pulled the murder of U.S. service personnel in Karbala and you can just ask the CNN brainiacs that got their “story� from the U.S. military. Right! No reason to doubt that report. Nope, no reason at all. The U.S. military is hardly ever wrong about anything.
The war drums are pounding that syncopated beat and CNN is right there playing their war criminal part in Bush vs. the world round two. Mommies don’t let your babies grow up to be soldiers. They’ll wind up dead or missing an appendage so, make ‘em be doctors or lawyers or politicians…wait, not politicians. Politicians start the wars that make the young girls cry. Sorry Willy sorry Barry, I drink too deeply from the waters of communal wit.
Without one shred of verifiable evidence or intelligence or rational sanity, CNN is proudly taking their blood soaked mark in the pre-Iranian pump up the volume and let’s have war. More war and more violence and more death. Simply because George says so. Deadeye Darth Cheney says so. Bob the destroyer says so. Condoleeza Rice sits there coldly and says nothing. It’s her back you see. Condoleeza’s back is killing her so, she figures to take her suffering out on the Iranians. Bloodshed in the morning, bloodshed in the evening, bloodshed at suppertime. Kill yourself an Iranian and the world will be just fine. Sure, sure it will.
Bang a gong, bomb Tehran, get it on! Now who or would that be whom, wants a war on Iran? Can we all say Israel? I knew that you could. So guess who or would that be whom, will step right up on cue and do the bloody work? You guess George Wacky Bush and you’d be pretty darn right on the money. George and his minions of genocidal madness are fixing to ‘git r done’ and won’t that just be a marvelous work and a blunder. Oh what the hell, got one war? Well, let’s have another war and that should just about please the Israelis. “Bibi� the barbarian Netanyahu will be so appreciative and Hud the Olmert will most likely send Madam Speaker of the House Nancy an extra special Valentine’s Day card. “Oh won’t you be my bloody Valentine?�
Darn pesky details are always in the devil’s work. Iran isn’t the problem here but, Israel and that would be AIPAC and the AEI and the ADL and screwy Dershowitz and the loony Horowitz and all the disciples of nuclear madness are screaming for Iranian blood. So the U.S. military will make up any damn story to please our Glorious Decider and war we shall!
CNN and MSNBC are singing the pre-war chants so, merrily we go to war…go to war…go to war…merrily we go to war…killing children! Hey Tucker! Ya think there’ll be any “ancillary benefitsâ€? to a war on Iran? Will Andrea Mitchell wear her cheerleader outfit for her next visit with Chris Matthews? Wolf Blitzer has already got himself a really spiffy brown shirt that’s been starched and pressed. The U.S. military says “Iran killed the troops in Karbala.â€? It’s the U.S. military and they don’t need no stinking facts or proof or solid intelligence. The Pentagon says it was Iran and that’s good enough for Wolf and the talking heads at ABCBSCNNMSNBC. Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda. If it’s good enough for Newt then, it’s good enough for you!
And the Congress goes gosh, um, well, hmmm, gee, ah, shoot, ah-hem, oh, um, hmmm, and what Constitution? Doesn’t this seem oddly deja vu? Hasn’t this all been done before? Ah what the hell, it’s just Iran. Right. When blood runs cold, isn’t that the coagulation process?
