President Bush solves two problems in one masterstroke.

Washington, D.C: Thursday June 9,2005.

President Bush who has been the target of jokes of the Liberal Media for a long time shut them up,probably forever, when he came up with an unsolicited proposal to end the war in Iraq and solve GM's problems in selling its cars in one masterstroke.He said, in an address to the Society of Automotive Engineers today that all unsold cars in GM's dealer lots will be given away free to Iraqis.That will generate so much goodwill that Iraqis will throw flowers at CEO Rick
Waggoner.Of course, that give away will be financed by selling oil from Iraq.

In addition,GM will also be encouraged to open assembly plants in Baghdad, manned by soldiers who cannot find any jobs in the U.S. Between the jobless people in Iraq lining up to work at the GM assembly plants and the jobless people from the U.S. looking for jobs in the Army, America will be strking a vein of gold in the desert.No, make that a gusher of oil in the desert.

"This kind of two pronged strategy is so far reaching only a superior mind like Bush could conceive of it," said Rush Limbaugh between snorts of Oxycontin."When I go next to the Lincoln bedroom, I am going to encourage him to go back to his cocaine habit.Only the Lord knows what a mind like his could come up with given sufficient coke to stimulate his vision.".

3. There is an element of truth here.

It was once estimated it cost more than one million dollars to kill a single VC or North Vietnamese regular. It was suggested they could be bought off for less.

5. I think there was a George Carlin routine where he compared the
cost of a bomb to the cost of a tractor, and figured out it would be cheaper to drop tractors on them. The tractors would kill who they landed on, but would lead to an economic boom as people made a good tractor out of the parts of the wrecked ones, and improved farming etc.

7. What could be a fairer deal than selling them cars nobody wants for
Edited on Thu Jun-09-05 10:33 PM by KlatooBNikto
all the oil we need?Sounds like a deal made in Halliburton heaven to me.

On Edit: Some of the Afghan opium and cocaine can also be sold to the Iraqis with Rush/Bush getting their fill.

I think this could be the breakthrough the Republicans need to promote their Global Hegemony Project.Cars, Drugs and Oil.A potent mix.
