The northern front. What happens? Turkey takes the bribe and then the US moves into Turkey. Then the US moves into Iraq. Turkey, afterwards, moves into Iraq. Iran, already there, sees Turkey move in so moves in some more. Meanwhile, the friendly Kurds let the Americans pass and then take potshots at each. The Americans get through, shore up some already burning oil wells and then make it to Baghdad where they meet the Americans who came from the south and from the west. The circle Baghdad in complete confidence Bush knows what he's doing.
They wait.
They wait some more.
And they wait some more.
Bush thinks: "Why won't they give up? Don't they know we paid Turkey 54 billion in order to make this happen? Everybody, including Bush, including Saddam, waits.
They wait some more.
All parties are begnning to realize exactly what happened in Stalingrad, a smaller city, where two million were killed. Since Baghdad has 5.5 million people with a fortified military, everybody waits some more.
And then that terrible bad pr weapon kicks in. Does Bush freak, or not? What happens? |
