- Merry Xmas Jarheads!! The Man of Peace, Nobel Laureate-to-be
President Barack Obama, your latest commander-in-chief, is going to be
shipping you out as a holiday gift to the people of Afghanistan.
-
- You will be delivering bullets and bombs, with my name
and the name of other American taxpayers on them, to the long-suffering
people of Afghanistan by December 25, according to press reports ahead
of the Mr. Hope and Change's planned nationwide speech tonight.
-
- Back here in America, the land of the free and brave,
come the holidays, we will be scraping together the cash to buy small gifts
for our kids, hopefully without having to miss a rent payment or a mortgage
payment. Fortunately, we've got Food Stamps, which are now, we are
told, flooding the suburbs, and are "no longer a stigma," so
we won't be hurting too much for Christmas dinner-though you still can't
use the stamps to buy eggnog.
-
- It will be interesting to hear what your commanders tell
you your mission is. The president is saying we need to keep Al Qaeda out
of Afghanistan, but from what I hear, there are no Al Qaeda operatives
in the country. They all upped and left for greener pastures a long time
ago-to places like Pakistan, Somalia, and maybe Europe and the USA. Hell,
they can go anywhere. How do you spot an Al Qaeda guy anyhow? The fellows
getting on the plane in Boston on 9-11 were clean-shaven and wore Brooks
Brothers shirts, looking more like bond traders than bombers.
-
- No, you will be targeting the Taliban. But the Taliban
are Afghans, and look just like the people who are not Taliban, so what
you'll most likely be doing half the time or more is shooting up ordinary
struggling Afghani peasants and shopkeepers, or members of weddings or
funerals, whose angry relatives will then seek revenge by setting traps
or ambushes for you...
