Mission Accomplished

Now that gas prices are over $75/barrel, and the oil companies are hauling record profits, it must be nice to know that "mission" was accomplished. Yes, boys and girls, the mission was accomplished........ But whose mission?

The US is firmly planted up the asses of the Iraqi people. If anyone thinks that we are leaving, s/he must certainly be in La La Land. We are there for the very long haul, and our tax dollars paid for it. As we speak, the US is building the largest American embassy ever, in Baghdad. It's a vast complex of 21 distinct structures, as described in this USA article:

U.S. diplomatic employees in Iraq are to move next year to a multimillion-dollar complex that will be among the largest U.S. embassies. The facility is slated for completion June 2007.

# New office building: Includes classified activities
# New office annex: For public diplomacy staff, consular affairs and the U.S. Agency for International Development
# Interim office building: Designed for future use as a school
# General services annex: Facilities management, break areas, staff locker rooms
# Recreation building: Gym, exercise room, swimming pool, locker rooms, the American Club, commissary, food court, barber and beauty shop
# Six staff apartment buildings: Each has one bedroom apartments
# Residences for the chief and deputy chief of mission
# Marine security guard quarters
# Remaining buildings are dedicated to security, vehicle maintenance and facilities management, storage, utilities, and water and wastewater treatment

The US now controls the oil production in Iraq. Mission accomplished. The fact that it's only producing a fraction of pre-war quantities is OK. It serves to drive up oil prices, which in turn, serves to pad the war profiteers and the oil companies. Interesting that our prez is an oil man and our veep is a clean-up man, both making windfall profits from this debaucle called Iraqi Freedom. Freedom, my ass. The Iraqis are screwed. And so are the Americans. And prez and veep are laughing all the way to the bank.

I suppose being considered by most Americans as the worst president in US history is but a small price to pay for this venture. It was carefully planned during the Reagan years. It took years of positioning to execute, but yes folks, we are there. Mission Accomplished.

Now, allow me to embellish on deadeye dick's illustrious career in the political arena....

He started out in 1969 under the Nixon administration. Are you already getting the drift here? Yeah, that same Nixon, the crook who resigned in shame for his own illegal politicking. From there, he managed to be elected into Congress from Wyoming, rising up the ranks to become the House Minority Whip in 1988. He then served as Secretary of Defense under GeorgeHW, before going into the private sector, becoming Chairman of the Board for Halliburton. Sure thing, boys and girls, having been the Secretary of Defense, he knew the ins and outs of how to secure government military contracts. He made $millions$. Of course, now that he was selected by dubya to be the veep, while working for Halliburton, and stepping down as the CEO, he moved into the spot very comfortably as one of the loudest proponents of this American imperialistic mentality. Halliburton, his "old" company was awarded umpteen no-bid contracts, made record profits, and life was/is good. Except for that dang stone heart thang.

So, dear readers, are you all not seeing the connection here? Sure, I made it brief, leaving out all the interim shenanegans perpetrated by this heartless SOB, like voting against Aparteid sanctions and lobbying against Libya sanctions, both of which hurt the bottom line of his business venture. Feel free to read more at Wikepedia, for a nice, descriptive history of deadeye dick. He planned all this from the get-go, and found his "man", in the name of George W. Bush, to carry out the plan. It was years in the making, and Mission Accomplished.

Now, it's our turn..............
