I'll prove \r\nthey wrong with this clear speech, written by myself. God inspired me \r\nand Rumsfeld explained me how to grab the biro.\r\n\r\nWe cannot wait any longer jeopardizing world's peace. If our \r\nancestors had waited, America nowadays would have been under redskin \r\nrule and there would have been a bloodthirsty Apache named &quot;Little \r\nBramble&quot; or &quot;Buffalo W. Junior&quot; in place of me.\r\n\r\nIt's time for the American federalism to find its true vigour again \r\nand for the warlike Texan spirit to clear out thievish Manhattan's \r\ncentralism and southerner Californians. I cannot accept unwarlike \r\ndiplomacy's vetos anymore.\r\n\r\nAmerica must carry the world on its back. If the world falls, never \r\nmind.\r\n\r\nI inform yo! u with infinite and preventive enthusiasm that American \r\ntroops set on dictator Saddam's Iraq.\r\n\r\nOur men are the best in the world and in just a few weeks we will \r\nbring peace to that anguished country. Modern American war \r\ntechnology, joint with Tony's - my pitbull - perfect training, and \r\ngeometrical power of Italian railways' network, is in motion and \r\nnothing could stop it.\r\n\r\nWe didn't wait for United Nations because Saddam's and Osama's \r\naccomplices nest just there, the French in particular.\r\n\r\nWe have proofs of a crowded and well trained Islamic base, on the \r\nseaside, ready to harbour vessels filled up with chemical weapons. \r\nThe secret base's name is Marseille. Our bombers, which are the best \r\nin the world, are razing this snakes' nest to the ground.\r\n\r\nLazybones Germans demonstrated connivance with terrorism too. We have \r\nthe proofs that Mullah Omar escaped away from siege on a BMW bike. \r\nThere are plans for a biolog! ical war in order to farce our quarter-\r\npounders with sauerkraut. The Germans just tryed to confuse us by \r\nescaping to plenty of places, but we located and we'll thump them \r\nanywhere. We've already attacked Berlin, Wien, Bern and Bozen, \r\ndropping our parachutists, which are the best in the world. The \r\nstrong wind, probably nourished by peace-mongers, determined half of \r\nthem to land over Norway. Since we were at it, we razed Oslo too: \r\nwho's neutral today could be hostile tomorrow.\r\n\r\nWe also attacked Venezuela, where the political and oil situation \r\ncalled for a ready answer. For an howler in order transmission's \r\ntyping, besides Venezuela objective also Venice objective has been \r\nbombed. Prime minister Berlusconi, loyal ally of ours, forgave us. \r\nHis reaction has been: &quot;So much so that it was sinking, in this way \r\nit suffered less&quot;.\r\n\r\nAmericans, East as well is about to know global peace! A plane \r\ncarrying one of our nuclear ! bombs, the best in the world, overflyed \r\nKorea with slight deterrent purposes. But we didn't use the bomb, we \r\nare not irresponsible insanes. Unfortunately while the cargo was \r\nreverting its course, due to a rubber band breakage, the bomb dropped \r\nover Bejing. We'll pay compensation for damages. Avoid being a pain \r\nin the ass.\r\n\r\nBut the one who we struck with resolute and preventive firmness had \r\nbeen the White Rais, the one who hampers us more than any other one: \r\na dictator elected by a scanty elite who claims to represent millions \r\nof people, who rambles about peace inciting the mob from the balcony \r\nor from his awful armoured car. A man who claims to represent the \r\nGood (which is well known for being an USA patent) without paying us \r\nthe copyright. The name of that man is vampire-like &quot;Wojtyla&quot;. This \r\nmorning, bishop dressed private first classes, with bazookas \r\nheroically dissembled in their own anatomy, attacked the Vatican. ! We \r\nknew that hired pontifical troops had a secret weaponry called \r\nHalberd, but we have the best fencers in the world and after an \r\nextraordinary duel we get the cathoterrorist lair. The White Rais was \r\ntalking to a bearded man disguised like a franciscan, immediately \r\nidentifyed as Osama Bin Laden. Altough CIA guaranteed that Osama died \r\n14 times, of which at least seven times seriously, the bastard gave \r\nproof of unexpected viability by rebelling, shouting he was monk \r\nJoseph and blaspheming God infra dig. Investigations proceeds.\r\n\r\nAmericans don't be afraid: global peace operation doesn't end here. \r\nSea lion and drilled squid troops, the best in the world, attacked \r\nwith underwater bombs the city of San Francisco, well known as an \r\nhippy pacificism den and defeatist. We've also surgically destroyed \r\n5,000 Asian restaurants: not a single grain of cous-cous will pollute \r\nanymore our holy ground.\r\n\r\nThe global peace operation ! obviously entailed also perils and \r\ndangers, especially for me. A commando of terrorists in nurse \r\ndisguise surrounded my apartaments at the White House. Condoleezza \r\nand I repelled them with revolvers. After this episode, immediate \r\ncountermeasures have been adopted. Ten marines, in nurse disguise too \r\nand led by a psychiatrist-dressed colonel, rescued me to a safe place \r\ncalled Fort Quiet, even if, in order to deceive terrorists, outside \r\nplate says &quot;Lunatic Asylum&quot;.\r\n\r\nI'm addressing you these words from Fort Quiet's TV and Diversion \r\nHall and those there, you can see them playing bingo in pajamas, in \r\nreality are my bodyguards, the best in the world. It's certainly a \r\nsacrifice staying locked up here, but being the President of the \r\nUnited States of America, I'm too precious to expose myself in a so \r\ndifficult situation, in any case I've my tin soldiers and water \r\nmattress. I'm looked after by kind psychomarines which give me th! e \r\nbest drugs in the world. I met also a fun old guy, Napoleon \r\nBonaparte, a former military. There's also one who believes to be \r\nBerlusconi, but he's basically honest and this caused him an interior \r\ninterests' conflict with schizophreny result.\r\n\r\nAmericans, be confident! I know operations are proceeding out of here \r\nand our army passes from conquest to conquest, the globe is being \r\nfilled up with Stars and Stripes like a joyful porcupine. Every night \r\nI meet Colin Powell (he's in Fort Quiet too). We walk up and down the \r\ncorridor in pajama and mimetic mules and prepare the final solution. \r\nWe'll launch into orbit Final Fantasy, a satellite with an extremely \r\nthorough laser beam able to destroy all the lands above sea level, \r\nexcept for America. This is the only way we can guarantee a true \r\nsafety throughout the world. But that pain in the ass which Powell \r\nis, insists in saying: and who will we make war to then? We wrangled,\r\nhe punched my bedpan and I filled up his drip with mayonnaise. How we \r\nlaughed!\r\n\r\nThe doctor marines sayd that for now I cannot go out, the situation \r\nis too dangerous. I know that you'd like your president to be in \r\noperation area with a bomber jacket and a Colt in his hand. But trust \r\nme: as my assistants say, the only true hope for global peace is make \r\nme staying locked here for a little while. When I'll come out, we'll \r\nbe planet's masters and then we'll attack the solar system.\r\n\r\nAmerican citizens, your president George W. Bush says hullo from Fort \r\nQuiet alias Lunatic Asylum. God bless America and cinder its enemies \r\nand damn Colin Powell if he pinches again my stewed apple.\r\n\r\n(Original in Italian by Stefano Benni)","author":"A next-continent guy","parent_id":37900,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-03-22 13:57:09","modified":"2003-03-22 13:57:09","fileurl":""}]}
