A history lesson for the Loser in Chief

Since he looks increasingly out of touch and increasingly out of his mind and since may be drunk off his ass since the late 70's, I am offering a history lesson to our "President."

Are you listening Georgie?
That's what I thought but I'm gonna go on anyway, just in case this sinks in your fat head.

For many years this country thought the Communists were out to destroy us. So the policy of the US government was to help anyone anywhere any way they could who fought against the Communists. This aid included giving anti Communist groups guns, bombs, money, women, booze, anything they wanted.

In 1979 the Soviet Army invaded Afghanistan. Our government got pissed about it and we boycotted the Moscow Olympics and we gave what became known as the Mujaheddin many millions of dollars worth of guns and ammo to fight the dirty Commies.We called them heroes for fighting the Commies and we lauded them up one side and down the other. Their shit did not stink. As long as they fought the Commies they were our BFF's over there. It did not matter that they oppressed women, bullied children, grew the poppies that Heroin is made out of, or were Islamic fundamentalists. We loved these guys and we stocked them with anything they wanted.This is one of the guys our CIA trained, funded, and assisted in fighting the Communists. He was our friend. He was Reagan and Bush the first's anti Communist Saudi love god. He took our money and he trained his people and he formed a group that became known as Al Qaeda. This is all true. Our government trained Al Qaeda, it funded Al Qaeda, it helped make Osama what he is today. All this information is public knowledge.

When the Soviets finally left Afghanistan and it fell into lawlessness after a while the Taliban emerged as the most powerful group and they took over. They imposed a harsh brand of Islamic government with the blessing of the USA and with money provided by the Bush family of companies. The Taliban took over many of the guns, bombs, and ammo that we gave the other Afghans groups and they used it against their own people but we did not care because they had been so nice in helping to drive out the Communists.

So after our one time pal Saddam Hussein got his hand slapped in the first Gulf War for trying to take over Kuwait and we put permanent bases in Saudi Arabia Osama, Al Qaeda, and the Taliban got pissed. They said that since Saudi Arabia housed Mecca that US troops stationed on Saudi soil was a shitty thing. They all vowed to get us out of there on way or another.

That's when Osama and Al Qaeda started attacking US interests all over the world. Which led our President of course to decide to overthrow Saddam. Which I guess makes some sort of sense in some twisted parallel universe.

Now that we've killed nearly a million Iraqi's and gosh knows how many Afghans, gotten almost 5000 of our people killed, wasted billions of dollars, ruined the physical and mental health of hundreds of thousands of people, many folks are saying that the war is a bad thing. In fact some are even saying that no such thing as "victory" in Iraq is possible. They say that every one of the reasons we went to war was wrong and proved to be a lie. Our stubborn President says that the main reason we are still there is to defeat Al Qaeda and that "progress is being made." Yet the National Intelligence Report, which was done by people in his own government, says that after five years of war Al Qaeda is as strong now as they were five years ago.

Using the President's own statements and our own government's former actions then we can only come to one conclusion and that is that we have lost a war to a group of people that we trained and helped arm. Every day that we stay in Iraq we create more recruits for Al Qaeda and we harden sentiment against our occupying force.

We have lost this war the we created. In our zeal to fight Communism we created a monster and now that monster has defeated us. Well, it actually has defeated an idiot who happens to occupy our White House. If we do not impeach him he will do to us in Iran what he has done to us in Iraq.

We must impeach him and his out of control, blood thirsty Vice President or they will drag us all down in flames. Their statements that they want to see democracy spring up in the Middle East as a result of this war are lies. They want to see more oil profits and more repressive governments in power over there so they can maintain their corporate grip on the world.


Impeach them, disobey them, and stop supporting the corprations who reap the benefits of this insane hellish war.

You left out the part about Saddam being our BFF during the Reagan years and fighting the Iranians all those years, with guns, money and booze -oh, sorry, I mean chemical weapons- that we sold him.
