They Were Dancing In The Streets
Iraqis in Baghdad began dancing in the streets over the week-end after John McCain declared that the security situation had improved.
“I’ve been here many times over the years. Never have I been able to drive from the airport. Never have I been able to go out into the city as I was today.”
Bunker News agents interviewed participants of an impromptu street parade and were told by one enthusiastic Iraqi, “Until today we were afraid to send our kids to school, or go to the market. Now that the security situation has improved and anyone with an armored Humvee, flak jacket, and an armed marine escort, is basically safe we can take our lives back.”
Given this, this, this and this, I think that wacky ol’ John McCain was making a bit of an April Fools Joke.
Yeah — things are getting better that way in Toronto too. The neat thing about my local Loblaws is that flat roof they have where my guys can park the gunship I always take to market with me. And yesterday I got five potatoes for five bucks!
McCains comments go beyond stupidity. I suppose that security of the person and property has improved over the days when the United States air force was dropping cluster bombs over the city – but is that an improvement in the security of the person and property over the day before the United States air force started dropping cluster bombs over the city?
I look to see all the good little parrots in the upper-right-quadrant of the political compass talking about this good news for an entire week – and I fully expect that for all the good things they will say not a single one of them has the balls to go to Baghdad and walk to the market with their kids, with or without a flak jacket and Marine escort.
