What the Good General should have said…
Did you catch Sen. Hillary’s response to General David Petraeus’ report? She thinks people would have to suspend disbelief to accept his opinion of the war, basically calling him a liar and that he’s only following his orders on what to say. Military men are usually very polite, though they can “swear like a sailor”. Of course it is dangerous to bad-mouth someone who could cut your budget and find a way to take your retirement pension away, but I wonder what it would be like if he could have responded like this….. (pardon the language)…
With all due respect Senator… I take that back, with your statement you don’t deserve the respect your office normally would deserve… I re-phase it Ex-Cu-Se me lady… and I use THAT term loosely… How DARE you question my honesty!! Just ’cause you can’t trust your own husband is no excuse to distrust every man. I came here to report on the surge in Iraq, now just because what is good news for America is bad news for your party, is NO REASON WHAT-SO-EVER for you to question me. (Here he could throw in a “Shut-up, sit-down, and listen, b*tch” for good measure!). The surge is indeed showing some signs of working. It is in no way a panacea, but progress is being made. To pull the rug out from under my men, and women, who are bravely fighting in harm’s way so you can sit there, missey, and make a good living at taxpayer’s expense in your cushy position safe at home is in-ex-cus-able! If we pull-out now, and Iraq falls, what about those who’ve already died? Are you going to go to each of their families, look them in the eye, and tell them that their sons, daughters, and spouses were damnable fools for dieing in vein? Are you, Senator?… I think not. If you don’t have the b*lls to do that, then shut the **ck up and support these men and women, don’t you dare cut them off! Iraq may fall anyway, but it definitely will if we leave too early, before the job is done! Tell those millions of people in Iraq, who at least now have a chance for freedom, that we are going to leave them to die like we left the Vietnamese. Tell them that we’ll try to rescue a handful of them, like we did with the helicopters at the US embassy in Saigon, but that the rest better prepare for the afterlife. You don’t have the guts! You want the truth about Iraq, I’ve tried to give you the truth (in his best Jack Nicholson imitation…), but you can’t handle the truth, because it doesn’t further your sick, blind ambition for higher office. How DARE you politicize this! You disgust me! Support the troops now, or go to f-in’ h*ll!
Somehow, I doubt we’ll ever hear anybody tell her off in such a spirited, but brutfully honest, manner. Ah, but we can dream…
