The Canadian toothpick and the US president

by the bardic bear Tuesday, Sep. 04, 2007 at 4:45 PM

Some bad bears told me that a toothpick has more brain cells than president George W. Bush. I refused to believe such nonsense.

Some bad bears told me that a toothpick has more brain cells than president George W. Bush. I refused to believe such nonsense. Go eat fungus! I told my fellow brown bears in disbelief. But I'm starting to suspect that they may be right after all. I saw that man people call "mr. presidente" on TV, giving a scared seven minute speech to the young American soldiers clapping around him in the sands of Anbar province. He was STANDING on the sands of Irak. Like, that's going to happen to the entire planet if humans don't curb their gas guzzling and their fantastic way of consuming the resources of our world. And yet the man was saying the same old tirade about terrorist rampaging on the streets of downtown USA (which, to say the least, leaves the conclusion that his entire army of border guards are a clueless bunch of penguins that won't be able to stop what they call "terrorists"). If anybody comes to meddle in a bear's home, or wants to occupy a bear's den, the bear will be so mad that he'll chew to pieces the intruder's derrière until he leaves. My instinct tells me that that's happening in Irak. The British got wind of it. They took their calculators, added how many acts of violence were happening in Basra and they realized that they were the main cause of so much angry rockets, home-made road bombs and general shooting. So they decided to leave. I'm totally convinced that if the USA was ever invaded, every American citizen would become a crafty insurgent against the occupation. No less can be expected of ordinary Iraqis. That is why every American life lost in Iraq is a double loss because there is no glory in dying on behalf of a lying president and his hyper-rich friends. (Wolfowitz himself admitted that the invasion was launched to get the Iraqi oil before anybody else)
Bush was in Irak today to snub his own puppet, Maliki, and to justify a war based on lies. First was the funguticus about weapons of mass destruction. None was found. Now he wants people to believe that they had to invade and remain in Irak in order to fight terrorism. This man may actually be the lost link between reptiles and humans, because he continues and insists in being lost. His own CIA told him a number of times that there was absolutely no link between Hussein and the compadre of the Bush family, Osama ben Laden. It was George Bush senior who funnelled tons of cash to the mujahedeen boys so they can keep fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan on behalf of the Americans. In a way, Al Qaeda is the son with the turban of US foreign policy in the region. The house of Bush fomented their existence, they gave them weapons, money, and the confidence that, if they can defeat the Soviets, they can also defeat the Americans.
Another interesting element is that four years after the invasion, Bush still has to enter Irak like a thief. Not even the most powerful army on the planet can guarantee his safety if he was ever to announce his visit in advance. Just like a thief, or a coward. Give him an M16 and a helmet and send him to Sadr City. The man will piss in his pants. Now what concerns this bear is not the sad limitations of a befuddling American president. What worries all bears is that this war was launched to give higher profits to the oil plutocrats in America. Therefore, more cars will be running for a longer period, which translates into more pollution and a more degraded environment for us. I wouldn't worry much about my own future, but the fact is that I've never heard of a polar bear going to the Salvation Army to get a bunk for the night or wait in line for a bowl of (fish, or seal ) soup. I had no choice, after all. I had to become a political Nanook in this melting Arctic.
