Apparently, upset with Sarah Palin claiming every spare second of tv time across the nation lately, the Dear Dope (aka Truman) will return to the airwaves tonight (oops next Tuesday) to announce his decision on Afghanistan. It’s still early so leaks have not yet indicated what the Dope of Dopes might have to say about the situation. Given the Dope’s and Wedge’s decision for a civil trial for KSM, I suppose you would have to say that anything is possible.
Think about that one. The American people who voted the Dope into office have no clue where the Dope stands today on what he called “the necessary war” throughout the campaign. The Dope is just as likely to declare defeat as he is to meet his own top general’s request for more troops. We know he will not announce a path toward victory. The Ditherer in Chief not so long ago declared victory in Afghanistan a concept that he was not comfortable with. Way to buck up the troops risking life and limb over there @rsewipe.
I suspect Dumbo Ears will take some half measure designed to give hawks something - 20-30,000 more troops - but holding back enough to give wacko Libs something as well – “At least he didn’t send all 5 million troops and nuke the women and children like BusHitler would have.” So we’ll have some half strategy announced in 45 min talk about how it’s not really the deployed troops who have suffered during the Dope's dithering but rather he himself the Grand Dope of Dopes who is the victim for having to agonize over the decision interminably.
Paying for the Dope’s decision is another matter. One bright Demo-Dope congressman thinks we ought to have a surtax on the rich to pay for whatever the Lord Master of grand political and military strategy decides. I don’t think that can fly. Don’t we have the equal protection clause? How can we tax the rich to pay for a war that congress – the voice of the people – authorized?
Why not have a surtax on idiots to pay for the National Endowment of the Arts? Hollywood swells ought to be paying for the crap that comes out of that national embarrassment lock, stock and barrel. Anyone wearing tennis shoes with a tux should be forced to cough up $10,000 on the spot. Anyone paying more than $50 bucks for an ordinary pair of sneakers - like the Dear Dope’s mean wife who wore a $500 pair of sneakers with one of her clown outfits – ought to be charged another $500 every time they step into the public with the things on.
I actually do not mind the government raising money to fight the wars. How about war bonds? Instead of selling our debt to China, get Americans to buy bonds. As I recall that’s how a large portion of WWII was paid for. I’d buy a war bond a month and travel and pay to meet a war hero or two to support the cause I happen to believe in.
Oh, hell that’ll never work. I forgot we’re not at war anymore, and Man made Disaster Bonds just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

As Lex I too am not against funding the War On Terror, which is what I misguidely thought I was doing. The problem as always, is the appropriation. The Washington dolts would fund free clinics for unwed snail darters in the Portland River, and contribute billions to start up businesses like the ACORN Hair Salon and Barbecue of Buloxi, and claim it under fighting "man-made uh-oh's". The Pork Stimulus Bill supposedly sent $200M to Phillipine Vets of World War II. The photo op of Big Ears walking ashore, corn cob pipe in mouth, and proclaiming," I have returned", is sure to place him on the cover of the Nobel Prize winter newsletter. I am surprised they did not include a provision for Japanese Vets of WW II. After all without them we could not have had as big a war and generated all those jobs in the Manhattan Project back in the 1940's. It would just be our way of saying "thanks". Hey, how about throwing $400-500M to the ancestors of the pets originally owned by the coast watchers of the Spanish Navy from the Spanish-American War of 1898. They have a big problem in some of the burrios of Puerto Rico with the over population of cats, dogs, chickens, and of course not enough snail darters. Hmmmm....maybe we can relocate some of those snail darters from Portland? Probably only a mere $1B. I do not believe I could be shocked anymore as to where these blood sucking Washingtonian leeches spend our money. I think the Dear Dope will announce tonight that we are buying Afghanistan and giving it to Senator Snow of Maine for her vote on the healthcare bill. She can rename it Snowville and proclaim it our 58th state. Bring all the troops home! Tony Retsco could run it.
