Wouldn't It Be Great

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?'My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

 

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

 

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short . The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

 

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

 

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIA L SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

 

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

 

Need help with a famine ? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France

 

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we st ill have at home . On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

 

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China

 

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , Germany , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, mezamies.

 

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York

 

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks mi ght want to try not . us off for a change.

 

Mexico is also on List 2 its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

 

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

 

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska- which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

 

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'

 

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned u s the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America It is time to eliminate homelessness in America . To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

 

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

 

God bless America .. Thank you and good night.'

 

If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

I bet I've received this letter a half dozen times in e-mails.

 

Not sure what right wing, racist lunatic wrote this but I now it wasn't any of our brave soldiers who don't have time to write this horse-doo-doo.

 

It's a very simplistic view of our global society.

You don't cut off aid to helpless victims because their regime (along with most countries of the world) doesn't back the US War in Irag.

 

Severing diplomatic with other world powers makes no sense whatsover.

The author sure manages to diss enough countries, nationalities, and ethnic groups.

So typically US to wag fingers at Canada and Mexico like they are barefoot second cousins.

"Third world Hell Holes". Nice. I guess that means everyone but the US?

Shame the author couldn't work in the "turn the sand into glass with a nuke" line.

I would have added a line about "aussies" or "kiwis" as these countries have a positive spin in the US (look and talk like us except with those kewl accents)

 

Certainly the US needs to get it's own house together when it comes to feeding and giving proper medical care to it's own citizens.

And that must include adequate funding of the Veteran's Hospitals for all veterans.

We need to help the rest of the world. Cause they need our help!

 

I'm proud to be an American.

But I do not agree with the statements and inuendos in the post above.

It's cutesy, but not for me.

I am French-Canadian and only speak Spanish (Mexican). I currently have dual residence in Germany and Russia and will attend the Olympics in China.

I hate Poles and Brits cause they backed the US in Iraq.

My Favorite part:

I'm in Oki too by the way... great assignment!

[ReelFiles]

I don't like it..

[suedenim]

Kinda makes sense, charity starts at home, tidy your own backyard first etc. etc.

[red930]

I think its to superficial, i dont know much but i do know there is way more to it then let on in this post.

[dr_bowtie]

I recieved this in an email several times....from various people...

 

I find it sort of a chainletter crap...

[sparkyftw]

Yeah I have gotten it a few times.

 

I have a story from a field surgeon/medic about a little girl in Iraq. I will shoot him an email about it so I can get the full story again, but I think it would touch most peoples hearts here. It really shows what the US is really doing over there. The stuff the media won't show because it isn't entertaining.

[suedenim]

Nothing sells like fear and misery in the news, oh and the odd, frequent crisis.

[tasr]

We just need a president with the BALLS to do it.

 

Female or not, Black or White I don’t care just a president that will stand up and fight for this country.

 

 

 

 

EDIT and this is NOT directed at the OP or anybody

 

By the Way…………….I am a Red, White and Blue neck.

 

I stand up for this country, I fought for this country and my life is this country. I’ll also die for this county it’s my destiny.

 

We may have issues…………BUT look at the rest of the world, then go and travel it and see the depression, tyranny and waste of human life. I have!!!! Then come back a say something BAD about our country. You may just appreciate the US a LOT more
