FIGHT ‘EM THERE! FIGHT ‘EM THERE! DOESN’T QUITE SOUND THE SAME, DOES IT…BUT IT’S A START

I realize there are those who think we are engaged in a noble cause in Iraq. Hell, there are still ten or twelve percent of 300 million people who think Stumblin’ Dubya is doing a good job. I can’t do anything to rid people of their delusions; if I could, you’d be able to see Cheney’s horns.

However, after watching the Petraeus & Crocker Variety Show last week (turns out Crocker is the funny one), and getting exactly what we expected – which is why I’m sitting on a pillow to write this week – I once again heard that most moronic homily, this time spouted by a nameless blackshirt backbencher who croaked: “By fighting them there, we won’t have to fight them here.”

We’ve all heard it before. I was at a party a few weeks ago and some pro-war half-wit, (who thought himself clever by saying Rush Limbaugh was too liberal for him, thus forfeiting the remaining half), parroted that same neocompoop talking point, and thanked Fearless Leader Bush because we haven’t been attacked again.

And why would we be?

Imagine yourself an Islamo-fascist for a minute. (Yeah, it’s hard because, like Bigfoot, no one really knows what an Islamo-fascist is.) You hate America and you want to destroy it.

Now, you could arrange travel to the States through backdoor means with phony papers and underground connections, all very risky. Then once you get here, and are greeted with open arms by the highly efficient TSA (who will probably give you a fruit basket and coupons to Denny’s), you hit the street and the trouble begins. You have the nightmare of traffic, language problems, and even if you speak perfect English, you’re Middle Eastern and hence suspicion follows you everywhere. Then there’s getting together with other conspirators, finding weapons, transportation, and on and on. Oh, and the weak dollars you’ve stashed so you can fund your operation just aren’t buying the same amount of gelignite they did in the past.

On the other hand, you can wake up in your own bed, kill American men and women in your own backyard, grow your Islamo-fascist revolution with every new day the American occupiers are still in your land, get most of the world to see America as a belligerent bully, cause massive and long term damage to the American economy and the American psyche – and be home for lunch.

They may be Islamo-fascists, but they ain’t stupid – which is more than I can say for you; you unthinking, Bush loving, boneheads who goosestep every time you hear your master’s voice.
