"Let me try to confuse you into thinking this has anything to do with the war on terror."

A SIMPLE TRANSCRIPT OF THE PRESIDENT'S RECENT SPEECH ON IRAQ

by Samuel A. Stanson

SEPTEMBER 10, 2003 "Forget the WMD's I told you made it impossible for us to take the time to build a world coalition," said the President.  "Remember how I said that we had to go to war right now, at this exact moment, and couldn't work with the inspection process or UN any longer? Forget that lie, which now is costing us billions a week and a life a day. In fact, I will not mention WMD's at all in this speech, pretending I never brought up the topic in the first place - except to repeat a lie I tell regularly, that, "Saddam had used WMD's before," referring to something decades ago that had nothing to do with invading Iraq or the case I made."

"Let me try to confuse you into thinking this has anything to do with the war on terror," said the President.  "Saddam had never attacked anyone but Kuwait, but let me lie and pretend at some point he attacked us."

"Let me not talk about the fact I am still avoiding international support for one reason only:  I don't want to share the oil money and rebuilding contracts. Spending extra billions of American tax payer dollars and leaving our troops dying needlessly without international support is something I will continue to do gladly for no other reason than to keep extra money in my friends' pockets.  Why else could I possibly not want to share rebuilding authority, as we have done successfully is Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan?"

"Notice I said Afghanistan.  Yes, even in the actual war on terror, we had no problem ceding rebuilding control after attacking Afghanistan.  So why won't we do the same in Iraq?  Simply, they have lots of oil we don't want to share - or, as I will tell you in my speech... well, actually, I'll avoid the topic, and throw in some 'patriotic' blurbs that distract attention from this."

"Allow me to pretend I never landed on the USS Lincoln and did a victory lap.  It would be so disgusting and humiliating to admit that not only did I rush to war, but I rushed to wear the victory crown, when really the war is not over in any way, shape, or form, and I was too stupid to realize that at the time.  So instead allow me to continue my streak of never taking responsibility for anything or ever admitting fault by not acknowledging that the aircraft carrier landing was premature and an insult to those who are still dying today."

"Allow me to further demonstrate my complete lack of diplomatic skills by attempting yet again to gain international support by bullying our allies in this speech; not humbling myself, not admitting I and my administration should never has slandered them and been stupid enough to think we didn't need their support.  No, let me instead impose on them that it is their "duty" to now give us money and bodies - without, of course, getting any control over the oil - basically, just saying, get over here and bail me out or you are unpatriotic.  Yes, complete diplomatic ineptitude.  Thank you for noticing."

"And to conclude, allow me to give this speech that is intentionally crafted to mislead, change focus, pretend things that clearly are not the case, avoid mention of the major, important things that would look bad for me, and display my lack of integrity and diplomatic skills yet again because, in the end, I know, the press won't call me on any of this, nor will the American public, who simply wants me to tell them something that will make them feel better and allow them to avoid the realization that their President is a complete incompetent.  They don't want to have to deal with the fact that I possess such a vast level of amorality and complete lack of American values."

"Thank you for listening, and may God continue to allow me to use his name at the end of my speeches to pretend I have some moral basis for what I do - if he ever gets tired of my abusing his good name for the sake of covering my ass, I'll be in a whole lot of hurtin'."
