The neo-Blues Brothers ride again

by Kevin Good, Unknown News      October 1, 2007

  This week the US Senate passed the Defense Authorization Bill, with the Lieberman-Kyl Amendment. It declared Iran a terrorist state, but at the last minute they removed the INFOBABBLE! in paragraphs 3 and 4, "to support the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military instruments in support of the policy described in paragraph (3) with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies."

Opponents questioned the verbiage 'military instruments' and were told it meant that only the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and Coast Guard bands, the only remaining deployable military units, would be sent to Iran. Nobody bought it, and both paragraphs 3 and 4 were deleted before passage.

But the neo-Blues Brothers interpreted the final legislation condemning Iran to mean; 'We're getting the
  band back together again, man. We're on a mission, a mission from God.'

'Joliet' Jake Cheney and Elwood Rumsfeld in their up-armored 'BluesMobile' are getting together the 'Chicken-Hawk War and Blues Review' for another victory tour.

The brass section will include:

   •    Rush 'Butt Pimple' Limbaugh

   •    Sean 'Pen Pointer' Hannity, and
 
in·fo·bab·ble
Pronunciation: INFOBABBLE!
Function: noun

1: the failure to communicate or the ability to misrepresent knowledge or intelligence

2: the attribute inherent in and communicated by one of two or more alternative sequences or arrangements of something (as nucleotides in DNA or binary digits in a computer program) that produce specific effects or a signal or character (as in a communication system or computer) representing data.

3: something (as a message, experimental data, or a picture) which justifies change in a construct (as a plan or theory) that represents physical or mental experience or other construct.

The group will be backed up by the AIPAC War Drum Orchestra including Richard Pearl, Paul Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol, and the rest of the PNAC and AEI acronyms.

The band's first stop on their internationally popular 'Victory Tour 3' will be Tehran, Iran, where the people hate their leader and love
Americans.

All intelligence reports show we will be greeted as liberators, the box office receipts will pay for it all, and there won't be another stupendous never-ending crash scene at
 
the end like the endless last episode.
