SADDAM HUSSEIN'S LAST WISH

For Saddam Hussein’s last wish, he requested a blowjob. So they shoved a live grenade up his ass and pulled the pin.

In his hometown of Fukkit, Iraq, all the funeral hearses got crushed by American tanks, so they had to make due with a garbage dumpster pulled by a team of pigs. Instead of a twenty-one gun salute, he was saluted by a squad of suicide bombers.

The Arab custom is when a dignitary dies, they throw some virgins in the grave with him to accompany him on his trip to heaven. But there hasn’t been a virgin in Iraq since the Americans arrived, so they had to throw in some sheep instead.

I don’t feel bad for Saddam Hussein. You live by the meat grinder, you die by it. I believe he knew in his heart that something like this would happen to him. But he was compelled to follow the logical trajectory of his life, like we all are. I have never kept firearms around because I know my own nature. It’s too easy to point one and pull the trigger.

But let’s get one thing perfectly clear about one thing: the decision to execute Saddam Hussein was not decided by the bunch of bozos that constitutes Iraq’s puppet government. They are entirely occupied by stealing money – it’s their only job. Any policy decision of consequence concerning Iraq is decided by the Bush administration in Washington D.C.

The decision to execute Saddam Hussein was taken in the Oval Office by Bush and his advisors as a Hail Mary play to boost his collapsed approval ratings, and the immediacy of the decision was heightened by the fear that the incoming Democratic congress might complicate the situation by insisting on a role in the decision-making process.

I have written before and I still believe now that the Democrats should steer clear of deciding policy for Iraq beyond investigating intentional deceit and past policy blunders by the Bush administration, otherwise they will eventually be tarred by part of the blame when the whole policy implodes. This started out as Bush’s war, and when it ends it should end as Bush’s war. Otherwise the Democrats will pay the price for participating in a flawed and self-destructive policy. If the Democrats get involved they will receive part of the blame, and if they try to cut off funding for the war, they will get all of the blame from Republicans eager to get off the hook themselves.

But I want to assign a major part of the blame for this fiasco on our craven and insistently toadying press establishment for constantly and insistently parroting the administration line, starting with Judith Miller and her bosses at The New York Times and working down the food chain to lesser worms like Ralph Peters and Norman Podhoretz at the idiotic New York Post, and including the shallow idiots who feed us our daily diet of baby food at the TV news networks.

Even concerning the execution of Saddam Hussein, which anybody with even half a brain knows was a White House public relations gimmick, not one of these idiots has even suggested that Bush had anything to do with the timing of the execution, preferring to perpetuate the official line that the timing and method of the execution was a purely internal Iraqi decision, as though the so-called Iraqi administration has even the power to decide where the PortoSans are placed.

These news media outlets are controlled by corporate directors who understand nothing more immediate than the selective dating of their stock options, and their interest in the honest and transparent conduct of American policy affairs never extends past their self-serving perceptions of their own self-interest.

The Iraq war is the least of it. The worst of it is the public looting of the Treasury that has lasted since the beginning of the Bush administration, and the blatant and wholesale stealing that has driven the dollar down 50% relative to the euro.

If the stealing continues unabated, we will eventually reach the point where foreigners go to harder currencies, refuse to roll over our debt and insist on getting paid, which run on our Treasury will destroy the dollar and drive us to ruination, like Argentina. Then, when we are broke, we will really find out who our real friends are.

These imbecilic newspaper writers and TV announcers, who were hired precisely for those qualities of servility to corporate interests, are a big part of the problem, and they deserve a large portion of the blame for the current state of affairs. They are afraid of the Internet, and they should be, because the Internet bloggers, who don’t owe a debt of fealty to anybody, have the collective power to knock these bums out of the box.
