The Truth @ The Spin Factor

What to do in Iraq.

I know! Let’s piss off more innocent civilians so that they teach their children to hate the United States. Then they can aspire to be like Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and Ahmadinejad to avenge their dead little brothers and sisters.

Then when the government stabilizes, and someone questionable arises to power, we can arrange a coup d’etat. When the coup d’etat fails, and our spies and special forces are captured we can claim they have taken our “civilians” hostage without justification.

After imposing sanctions and destroying a poor nation economically, and when our spies are returned, we can send weapons of mass destructions to neighboring allies, say like Israel (hypothetical… it’s not like we’d ever let a country intimidate another with nuclear weapons or anything).

After 50 years of no diplomatic relations, and when some natural disaster like an earthquake hits California, we can say this rogue nation detonated a nuclear weapon into the earth’s core to set off the San Andreas fault as a terrorist attack.

We’ll cry and cry about how the world has changed, because never before has a nuclear weapon been used in this destructive way before. And we’ll launch a preemptive strike against this rogue nation. When it turns out this country has no weapons at all (not even sling-shots) we’ll change our story and say we were there to overthrow a nasty dictatorship and bring democracy. We’ll find the nasty dictator throwing darts at a globe in his presidential suite and claim he was found in underground caves plotting the destruction of the United States with intercontinental ballistic missile prototypes.

Then, when civilians think we have overstayed our visa and they start killing our soldiers, we can call them “terrorists” (It’s a new word I invented - it means anything that moves).

Anyway… I don’t know what to do after that… but I do know we must win. Because not winning means failure. And it also means defeat. We cannot accept defeat. Because we must finish the job. If we don’t finish the job, we can’t win. It’s that simple. We can’t let terrorists win. Because then we’d lose.

And nobody wants to lose. Because, losing, is not winning, at all.
