Yes, jl, bush's reasons are as numerous as the oil fields he wanted to take over, so he lied to the UN to the US and to the world...invaded an unarmed country and his stealing their only resource...
His Own Little Country: Little George and His Iraq
Well, GW finally has it, his own little country, completely stocked with oil wells that will make money—something he could never do down here in Texas.
By Sam Hamod, Ph.D.
06/11/03: (Today's Alternative News) Now I know'd you'd want to ask me about little George--I done know'd him since he was a tiny whippersnapper of a thing--no bigger than a grasshopper runnin' after his daddy Big George. Course, Big George became president first, then helped little George do the same thing later. Lot's of us down here though, don't think little George is as smart as his daddy or as brave or honest. But, that's another story for another day, but let me tell you about his little country he has all for hisself in Iraq.
Well, GW finally has it, his own little country, completely stocked with oil wells that will make money—something he could never do down here in Texas.
There you have it, the only problem is that there are these pesky Iraqis who won’t go along with his plans, they keep protestin', asking for clean water, for electricity, for medicine, for security. It’s obvious they are ungrateful to GW, Rumsfeld and Tommy Franks for rescuing them, for liberatin' 'em. Beside, before these three musketeers rode in, these ungrateful wretches had clean water, food, medicine, law and order and security (even though they didn’t like the local sheriff); now, they have nothing—which shows how ungrateful they are. Those of us down in Texas, we don’t cotton to people not appreciating what we’ve done for 'em.
Well, I believe GW has made up his mind that he’s gonna teach them to enjoy their liberation. He’s got a plan now to keep his troops there and maybe send in some new troops as well. Furthermore, the new sheriff he’s appointed has told those ungrateful people that whoever is seen with a gun will be shot. Now that will make everybody happy, 'cause they can be shot with no trail and no trial; now that's Texas style justice, dadgum right! That will save a lot of money, time and palaverin'; damn lawyers, laws and other things just git in the way. As one fellow told me the other day, one a those big shot lawyers from Washington, DC, it sounds as if they are gonna give 'em a little bit of American justice—Ashcroft and Rumsfeld style, but reminds me of the lynchin' days down here in Texas--just 'cuse him, swing him and then it's all done except the buryin'. Just round 'em up or shoot 'em, forget the courts and the laws, 'cause, just like in America where the Justice Department has made clear, laws and other legal matters just git in the way of enforcin' justice.
So, the Iraqis had better git used to it because GW intends to make those oil wells pay off and he isn’t going to git out til they do. He’s made clear to his dad that though he may have failed at ownin' a baseball team, findin' oil in Texas, in bein' a student and in raisin' his daughters rightly, but he’s nota gonna let this plum fall through his hands.
He’s gonna show his mom and dad he can be just as successful as Jeb; remember, GWs dad said, “We always thought Jeb would be the one to become president.”
I know that hurt GW to the core; it also upset Barbara Bush, because GW was always her favorite. Some say she didn’t talk to Big George for a few weeks; but as he told some friends down at the fishing hole, didn’t matter none, he was used to it—in fact, he thought it was a relief because she was always tellin' him what to do when he was in the White House and afterwards as well.
So GW has his own little country over there in Iraq, he has all the oil he can use and can sell the rest for some good money. They just have to get those Iraqis under control and let them know that this is ours now, we own that country and any of 'em that don’t like it can pack their bags and leave. It's ours now and they'd damn well know it. We've invested a lot of money to get this country, and damn if we’re gonna let some rag heads git in the way. It’s ours and there ain’t a thing the UN, or those French frogs or German sausage eaters can do about it—and don’t mention those Ruskies because they won’t dare interfere either. And those pesky Hezbollah and those Iranians had better stay out of this, otherwise GW will let them know who is boss—and I mean, BOSS.
So there you have it folks, a report from down here in Dallas on our boy, little George. You know, I sure hope he doesn’t mind me calling him little George, because when a fella gits that big, some kinda want to call him King or Your Excellency or some such name. By golly, that’s an idea, we’ll have to give that some thought. Because you know, no king in the history of the world has ever had the power little George has. Golly, I’d better be careful what I say, GW may not like it. He might sick that Ashcroft feller on me. Well, that's it folks from down here.
