What the Left will be saying today

January 9th, 2007

Well, damn, looks like our overextended and broken baby-killer military is out creating more terrorists again. Don’t they know that violence and war never solve anything?

Seriously, though, I was for avenging the embassy bombings before I was against it. And I don’t see how violating the sovereignty of another nation and making illegal war without UN sanction or Congressional approval can be considered anything but evil. Impeach Bush now! He’s making enemies where we ought to be making friends!

This is nothing but a distraction from the real War on Terror, which naturally I must say I support to establish my patriot bona fides even though I really don’t, and which really ought to be a War on Poverty and US Imperialism if it’s ever to do any good. This represents a misallocation of resources that could be put to better use in Afghanistan, which is the only place in the world that harbors terrorists. And where’s Osama, anyway? Do the Somalis have WMDs? The Somalis never attacked us, and never bothered anybody — ever. Why are we killing them?

This unprovoked attack will no doubt alienate our allies in Mogadishu, and destabilize the entire region. Yep, the Chimperor has gotten us into another quagmire, one we have no chance of winning. We’ve lost the respect of the international community, and the solidarity and support we enjoyed in the aftermath of the Black Hawk Down incident has now been inexcusably squandered. It’s all because of the Jews, who as everyone knows are in complete control of our foreign policy.

Another grim milestone has been reached, as the Bushitler starts another war that has nothing whatsoever to do with the WoT. The neocons and right-wing extremist warbloggers have long coveted Somalia’s natural resources, whatever they are, and we’ll all be paying for this transparent attempt by Cheney to enrich his Big Oil cronies at Halliburton for a long time to come.

At least 500,000 civilians — supremely innocent men, women, and children, all of whom only want peace and are exactly like us in every way — have already been killed in this new war for oil and empire. The Christianists are seeking to establish their longed-for theocracy with this hateful genocide of a free and happy people and their duly elected government, which could no doubt teach us arrogant war-mongering Americans a thing or two about how to run a democracy. Somalia was a veritable Eden before this unprovoked assault — now it’s literally Hell on Earth, and it’s all thanks to our warmongering Chimperor-In-Thief.

Murderers. Fascists. Nazis. Failure. Defeat. Doom. America sucks. We all ought to just kill ourselves right now. Failing that, we each ought to kill a random Rethugnican. I hate myself. I hate my life. I hate my country. I hate you. US out of everywhere!

IT’S A CONSPIRACY, AND I QUESTION THE TIMING!!


There — did I leave anything out?

Update! Misha remarks on the MSM’s strict radio discipline over at HA:

First, they have to find a way of ascribing it to the divine ascendancy of Reichsfuhrer Pelosi to the throne.

Second, they’ll have to find a way of describing a plane as being “stuck in an unwinnable quagmire” and, thirdly, they’re all waiting for AP to invent an “eyewitness” testifying that the gunship actually took out three orphanages, seven weddings, fifteen mosques and a partridge in a pear tree.

True, dat. And the pear tree was no doubt one that an entire village of helpless brown people relied on for its meager subsistence, as well as one of the holiest shrines in all of Islam.

Updated update! Why does it always have to be a wedding party? Why couldn’t it be a christening, or a kindergarten outing, or a soccer game, or somedamnedthing? Is at least a little creativity on the part of the AP’s ever-reliable “anonymous witnesses” too much to ask? (Thanks to Veeshir for the heads-up)

    C'mon, Mike, it must be obvious to anyone not drinking the NeoCon Kool Aid put out by the Despicable CheneyHalliburton Right-wing echo chamber noise machine:

    Dirt. That's right, Dirt.

    Somalia has huge reserves of dirt and the US KKKorporations, especially the lucrative Dirt cartel (aka "Big Dirt") are rubbing their hands together, blood dripping from their fangs as they see a way to get their hands on all of that cheap Somali dirt, which they can then export to the US, putting thousands of US dirt workers out on their asses and making more $$$ for which to fund their NeoColonialist Wars of Oppression.

    Geez, don't you read the Internet?

    No more blood for Dirt!

    Would it be too evil-capitalist of me to wonder if there'd be any money in trademarking that?

    Now that's funny. (via Ace).

    Right on cue, the AP has produced this lovely piece.

    Witnesses said 31 civilians, including two newlyweds, died in the assault by two helicopters

    And this one is just beautiful
    But others in the capital said the attacks would increase anti-American sentiment in the largely Muslim country

    The capital being Mogadishu. Where we are known to be very popular.
    With some fava beans and a nice chianti.

    It's become impossible to parody lefties, but predicting what they'll do has become incredibly easy.
