The hanging balls of Babylon, or
An AGM-129 advanced cruise missile will light your fire!

by Don Nash, Unknown News      February 12, 2008

Bush’s “surge” is working. Or not working. Or mostly an apparition. Or a cruel hoax perpetrated by the White House and mainstream media.

You know that “surge” in Iraq? Bob Gates says, “the surge is working.” However, Gates may offer up a slightly jaded opinion. You’ll of course remember Bob Gates. ‘Brutal Bob’, as his close friends call him, took the place of America’s last great Secretary of Defense Donny ‘Death’ Rumsfeld.

You’ll of course remember Donny ‘Death’ as the poltroon that gave America Paul ‘Wolfy’ Wolfowitz, Zionist extraordinaire and murderously corrupt former head of the World Bank. Wolfy is just one brick shy of being a comprehensive “brick” house, whatever that may in fact mean. ‘Brutal Bob’ likes to play cards with one Dov Zackheim. Zackheim is famous for bilking the United States out of three trillion dollars (U.S.) and that’s about a “three” followed by a butt-load of zeros.

935 lies and still counting.

The “surge” is a lie.

Bush is a lie.

It’s all a lie and has been ever since 9/11/01 ...

Did you know that for every one lie told by Bush to Congress, by Bush to the American people, and by Bush to the world, four American service boys and girls have been deemed privileged to be killed?
Zackheim, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Gates are all mostly irrelevant. Well, except for that killing of young American service boys and girls motif, these bozos are irrelevant. What’s relevant here is the complete lack of a coherent direction in Iraq. You know, a military direction. Or well, you know,
a coherent sense of what exactly is going on in Iraq, besides that killing of young American service boys and girls motif that may have been mentioned previously.

What is America doing in Iraq? There is that killing stuff. There’s loads of horror. There’s torture that Bill O’Really seems to think is simply keen. Yeah, you get ‘em, O’Really! Hey, screw loose, have you ever been tortured? No? Then shut the fuck up! That O’Really is such a punk...

So let’s see, it’s been five torturously long years of Bush’s Iraq adventure and what have we (America) got to show for it? Hmmm, besides that killing of American service boys and girls motif and millions of brutality slaughtered Iraqi men, women, and children, we’ve got zip. Bupkis. Nada. Zilch. However, if you conclude that 4,000 dead American service boys and girls are something of an achievement, well then, there you go. America does have George Bush and his smarmy “surge” to thank for that. It is at least something. Yeah, isn’t that something? Let’s ask Congress.

Gregarious George offered up 935 lies just prior to the Bush league preemption of Iraq. Well, not just old Gregarious. Condo the queen of diplomatic cannibalism was involved, as was Dicky ‘Guns’ Cheney and Colon Powell. You’ll of course remember old Colon Powell of the shrinking sphincter. What a performance! Academy Award material if ever there was.

935 lies and still counting. The “surge” is a lie. Bush is a lie. It’s all a lie and has been ever since 9/11/01 and Iraq the preemption and Iraq the bullshit and, mercy, 935 lies and still counting. Congress simply loves to eat up those Bush lies. Congress will lay down and spread ‘em to get more Bush lies.

John McCain is staking his claim to the Office of President of the United States on the Bush lies. McCain and Hillary Clinton too. Did you know that Hillary Clinton has registered those 935 lies with the U.S. Patent Office so she gets her proper due? Yup, 935 lies is a “registered trademark” owned outright by Clinton. However, there is some wiggle room and legally it all depends on what the definition of “is” really is. What is the definition of ‘is’?

Did you know that for every one lie told by Bush to Congress, by Bush to the American people, and by Bush to the world, four American service boys and girls have been deemed privileged to be killed? Could that be construed as “senseless?” It certainly seems wasteful. It hardly seems like a half decent return on America’s investment in Bush-war.

America is invested in Bush-war. Congress made damn certain of that. McCain, Clinton, Lieberman the pansy, Republicans, Democrats, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and yeah, it all sort of sucks and sucks weakly. 935 lies and 4,000 dead American service boys and girls and millions of dead Iraqi men, women, and children. Talk about your basic suckage!

Five freaking years down the road and America is still trying to breach the hanging balls of Babylon. A surgical castration would have been less painful. The Jets 4 Jesus Corps launches those spiffy AGM-129 cruise missiles and still, no progress in Iraq. No progress from the missiles, the Homeland Security, the bunker busters, daisy cutters, special ops, psycho-ops, and none of it., none of it works! Hasn’t worked since day one and even after 935 lies, 4,000 dead American service boys and girls, and Congressional cowardice that borders on treason, none of the Bush-war crap-o-la works. Now that is some dysfunctional American government at work and lying play. Oh yeah, Congress doesn’t work either. America wouldn’t know either way as Congress is probably out on another congressional recess.

Gosh, America, haven’t you had your fill yet? McCain offers more of the same. The Clinton with the charm, offers more of the same. Then there’s the good Rev. Huckster. Then there’s Barack Obama and “Yes we can.” Can what? Get another 4,000 American service boys and girls killed? Golly, that would make 8,000 and Congress will surely have to invoke the draft then.

Then? Then as a noun is a monument to empty lies and empty-headed presidents that think nothing of brutal slaughter and the senseless sacrifice of young American service boys and girls. AGM-129 Advanced cruise missiles and 935 lies. Hmmm, seems mostly reasonable. Or not.
