THE LAST CHOPPER OUT OF BAGHDAD



Special Operations Command in Iraq says it's whupped Al Qaeda. Sanchez, who was in command in the early days, says it’s a goddamned cluster-fuck. A couple of talking heads on CNN say we could be in there for fifteen or twenty years. The peace movement chant once again becomes “troops out now.” And this was all in the space of one afternoon on TV.

Accordingly I devised this game/contest. Imagine this picture is of the last chopper out of Baghdad. Hit the comments link and leave your personal estimate as to the date when this might take place. It won’t take but a minute and could be modestly enlightening. (You don’t get this kind of fun plus Miles and Coltrane on HuffPo. Oh no.)

Meanwhile, in another kind of game/contest, this Voting Made Easy web device, sent over by Doug the Bass is fucking unbelievable. Democracy can be dangerous in the wrong hands.

War is Peace

My guess is the foreign occupation of Iraq will end about two minutes before someone says, "Fuck 'em," and nails what is left of the country with some ICBMs. 2090 sounds about right. All the oil will be gone by then.

So let's nuke 'em now.

And make the fucking oil radioactive? Real neocom thinking.

I'll go with 2020. Only because I like that number. Of course, it could happen sooner if we were to take over... and get rid of all the neocons and the thugs and the bankers and the... the lot of 'em.

The war will end when we run out of money. Oh, wait, that already happened. I guess then it will end when China decides to stop picking up our tab.

The war will never end. It is the natural order of humanity.

And Bush will never leave the White House. He and Cheney and their merc army will stage a coupe. Just watch.
