Speech

[jumpergirl 0]

I got this in an e-mail and wanted to share with everyone. Since it's political, I'm posting it in the Speakers Corner.

Wouldn't it be great to turn on the TV and hear Goerge W. Bush or John Kerry give the following speech?

My Fellow Americans:

As you all know, the defeat of 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 everyone not on the first list. Most of the worlds 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.

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 still 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.

To Israel and the Palestinian Authority. You boys work out a peace deal now. Just note that Camp David is closed. Maybe all of you can go to Russia for
negotiations. They have some great palaces there. Big tables, too. 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. Bon chance, mesamis.

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 might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep,
border security. So start doing something with your oil.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty --- starting now. We are tired of the one-way highway. It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens.

Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them be saying, "darn tootin."

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us 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. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from America.

To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you and we won't forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought. Drop dead.

God bless America.

Thank you and good night.

Excellent idea.

Now explain where the isolationist US will get its oil, chromium, cobalt, nickel, titanium, industrial diamonds.... and other strategic imports that come from the countries on the shit list.

Pretty hard to run an industrial economy without these things.

Universally?
Like no race, or gender? OK - anyone is fair game - I have some people that I claim as slave.

There could be some fun in hearing that.


The fact of the matter is that people care less about "good" things we do and more about the "bad."

I'd vote for you ( the speechwriter) ANYDAY. My sentiments exactly. But if you were running for office it would probably be a lie

Can you spare a couple?

I totally agree. I don't know who wrote that, but it sure would be nice.

How about invading?

It wouldn´t be invading, that is a no no in politics. It would be called liberating third world countries from their goods, or maybe preemptive strike. Something more palatable to the average american...

In other order of things, funny how some right winged people would like that to happen while your government makes bussiness and earn big bucks with the very same country who paid for having the twin towers demolish with two earliners.
Yeah, keep calling the french fries freedom fries, but Just watch your back for those who do bussiness with you.

Yes, it is an excellent idea. And here's how it would probably work...

Companies within countries on list #2 who drill oil, mine rare metals and industrial diamonds realize that if they want to survive they'll pretty much have to deal with companies in the US, who are most likely some of their largest customers.

See, companies tend to do what is in their best interests regardless of what country they call home. In fact, it has been the subject of many college business classes that companies will eventually be stateless entities. So, unless you convince the rest of the world's companies to stop liking money, it'd sort itself out. They're not going to ignore the wealthiest market on the planet.

That wasn't so hard was it?

Oh, hello again!

Nothing new to me! We knew since a long time. Biz is biz, right?

And surely you mean "airliners" instead of "ear"-liners? Sorry, this is not funny

LMAO, i think i should reread what i post more often for spelling.

Same place we get them now. We can survive without their resources much longer than they can survive without our import business. We just don't have the balls to test drive it. For example, we use so much oil that there is no one to jump in and pick up the slack if stop purchasing it say, from Saudi Arabia. Who else would buy if from them?

Supply and demand is a self correcting problem in a free world economy.

Agreed there. Many people would be happier with having another terrorist attack than having to give up their Expeditions.

Germany and France. Together they import 8 million barrels a day; Saudi Arabia exports 6.7 million barrels a day. The rest of the world can do quite handily without us - and it would give a tremendous boost to China's economy. Heck, they need a boost if they are going to become the next world power.

>Supply and demand is a self correcting problem in a free world economy.

Agreed, but you may not like the corrections.

Maybe he wants a third opinion. He wouldn´t belive me if i say Arab Saudi

I'm not sure I agree with that, but maybe the people you hang out with are of a different ilk than those I hang out with.

Well, oil production isn't a zero sum game. They produce what the market will bear at the price OPEC agrees to. If we stop importing oil say from SA, they won't all the sudden be able to sell it all to Germany and France (who already have agreements with other oil producers). I did hear that China is stock piling oil, but still, they simply can't afford to pick up our slack for very long.

Very true, but when you make tough decisions, you must live with the consequences. Personally, unless it's life or death, if I don't like doing business with the "only game in town", I do without. I let my $ talk. If the US were to do that with foreign aid and trade, this country would be in much better financial condition (but be even more vilified in the world as the evil doers that we are.)
