        Skip The War & Go To Future Issues
 
 

  WORLD WAR SOME                                              The 19th of March, 2003
 

           As we go it alone, with only our staunchest ally in reluctant tow--
     Tony Blair hanging like Guy Fawkes Dixie Chicked--
                                                    Jr. trying to erase his Father's mistakes.

            Intent upon smaller game,
we missed the best window of opportunity to take out source evil.
                        If war was inevitable, as it now seems it always was:
   we would have headed a world coalition;
                      had we announced a state of war on
                                 September 12th, or October the First at the latest:
                                                bombing to commence New Year's Day of 2002
                             if the bad man not retired, or been forcibly removed by his own.

           There would have been no need for an underground government,
                          had our Commander In Chief brought Air Force One down earlier.

                    Damning protocol and descending to earth,
                                 shouldn't he have been in The White House,
                                                                     in timely address to the nation.
                    Was the CIA expecting thousands of bomb laden Arabs
                                                 swarming the White House lawn?
               Churchill braved the ruins of London, did not hide his life and leadership.
                      Churchill wrote his own heart, would not have circled his capitol
                                while the appropriate speech was being manufactured.

        Weasels petting their own skin,
                  we can only hope turncoats within his regime,

            I've read your opening day opinions of the war, and most strikingly
     agree with the part where Tyronne said that the Republican's predetermined war
    should have commenced on January 1st of 2002.
             Waiting for the CIA to gather exact proof of Sadaam's
involvement was such a silly ruse.
Searching for the forest in Iowa (incompetence stabbing at misinformation)
including our intelligence in any timetable of preparations is sadly delicious.

Do they fund terrorism?  Let's rephrase the quandary.

--does a pope shit in the woods?

             Maybe we wouldn't have bothered Iraq at all,
     had the demise of Bin Laden gained enough glory
to secure the 2004 election.

    Oh-oh.  Will our 'Police Action' turn into a real war?  I think we thought
          we'd get away with a few hundred casualties and two months of intervention.
    Perhaps we still will, once we resupply and drive to Bagdad...should they
          become demoralized.
                 The jokest joke is anyone believing there will ever be more than one
          democracy in The Middle East.  There can be no further Colonialization, we
          will never preside over our own private oil pool.
                   Speech writers do not make it real.  A thousand points of fire will never
           subjugate another people.  Initial victory can never assure victory.

           September 16th, 2001.  It sounds like open season on anything Arabic.

      Attempting to get in touch with parts of myself, I was doing the Walden Pond thing during the first two weeks of the war.  With no television, computer or internet access, I only managed to catch hourly radio updates:
        Two separate two day events pinpointed the nature of modern war.
       Number One:
              Such tension, those two sandstorm days when the ferocious column of a thousand armoured vehicles roared South from Bagdad, bent upon attack.  They just kept coming, hour by hour, advancing under Allah's protective veil.  Now they were almost upon our forces--would the storm last just a little longer, was their God stronger than ours?  Would it be a ground to ground clash, our air no longer superior.
        But lo', when the sands subsided, the column of a thousand was no more; the  impetus and hoursglass once more ours.
        (Surely a miracle, the magical removal of a vile enemy--or another testimony to the reliability of the CIA.)
        Number Two:  the questioning whining of the media as we stopped to resupply for two days.  Momentum had surely been lost; were there enough troops in the field? was the enemy tougher than surmised?  Then the peevish administration replies that everything was going according to plan, that it was unpatriotic if one did not walk lockstep, deigned to doubt.  Adamant assurances that there would be no brokered peace terms, no half-measures, as there had been with Sand War I.
        (Idiots all; so easy to realize, to explain that even Patton's nimble armour had to pause for resupply.)
        When I began my retreat on St. Patrick's Day, I thought the intervention would last somewhat shy of a full moon.  World opinion would not stand for us bombing Iraq into oblivion. This victory must be swiftly and conclusively achieved.
         Militarily, other than the friendly fire incidents, it seems as if it will be a rather concise victory, complete within the week.  A tidy, if expensive, conquest; should the remaining Iraqi leadership realize chemical attacks would be both fruitless, and insanely criminal.
         Morally, a loss; especially if we do not swiftly establish a fair government, swiftly leave.  Yes, we will have toppled a repressive regime; yet we have supported this, and will continue to favor many other such leaderships.  It is our history.  'Remember The Maine.'
         Crusades may be adventurous fun while we bask in starlight conquest, the safe comfort of television exposure.  Occupation and retribution's aftermath are likely to be less glorious.
        A holy war?  Is any.  Least of all those in The Middle East.
                   Four dead devas, the corners of the Earth,
                             Jesus might agree--we are taking angels away from a baby's manger.

          Who thought The Bad Man would pull a Houdini, Elvis, Bin Laden;

          Or Olivia Newton John; any of Vegas' unretireable lounge lizards.

          Anyway!!

                     Is this to be yet another doorway domino in World War Storm?

              Since we couldn't get the top Al Queda, we had to topple King Iraqui.
    Lacking trophy pelts (merely occupying countries) will the new Evil have to be North Korea, their strongman adorning our Den Wall.

           The big re-election is only eighteen months away and dead Lacey Peterson
has already knocked Iraq onto the second page.  Who needs ratings bombs when there's court TV?  Dang! if we could only broadcast a Nuremburg.  I bet some secret top officials are disappointed our boys and girls hadn't been bio gassed.  (With acceptable losses of course--after all, we have a long history of testing on our own.)

branding blame, Teddy Fibre revisits a history lesson:

     Act I:  Guns for hostages opened Reagan's Inauguration.  Shrinking from 'malaise',
we favoured an administration which negotiated behind American's back.
Weapons to Iran bought little integrity; ground worked nefarious pattern.

     Act II:  imported cocaine was sold on our streets, then turned into guns
                                  for right wing
                                                  tyrants in Nicaragua.
               Who did it?  Hassenfuss! surely not the CIA.  Rabbit stew!!

     Who knew?  Inattention to detail or early Altzeimers disqualified the President,
                   and tho' the Veep once was Head of the CIA,
                                                       he was certifiably 'Out of the Loop'.

     How could we not impeach after seeing such naked arrangements?

    Why did they receive full credit for the destruction of Russia's Evil Empire?
?--Radio Free Europe
and advancing freedoms of communication; fiscal realities and natural decay would have
accomplished the same thing in a few more years.  Yes, the close of the Cold War was hastened,
but the moneys spent on the largest peacetime military build-up ever could have been used to
rebuild our bridges and highways; to hire more day care workers, teachers and tutors.

     The Berlin Wall would have fallen soon, sure as Humpty is fated egg, sure as the Emperor
wore no clothes.

     Our 1980's modernization of the military merely buttressed the old.  We already had ten or
forty times enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire world; but we had to build more arms,
so we could manly twist the negotiations.

futuristic; and not merely concerned with short term elections and contractor demands?

                                  so quickly forgotten once ballots have been tallied.
