What We Say.


What he hears. [click for larger]

Because sometimes simpler is clearer.

Great 'toon, Drift. :o)

Meanwhile, CarrierGruppeWencke is headed for the gulf for dementia- legacy-and-ass-covering purposes.

Since it's a dead-fucking-lock that if junior hits Iran, they will go after EVERY oil facility within reach, this brings up some questions:

Will, or have, the Saudis signed off on JDAMMING the Iranians to Jesus?

Likewise, the Kuwaitis have to be watching junior playing reality-battleship, with a jaundiced eye. And since they have one gnarled, brown, hand around george bush's scrotal sac, vis-a-vis the bases which are the lifeline for Operation Enduring Mayhem, I gotta think the conversation with them went something like this:

"Don't worry, your highness; this is just a little jawboning...think nothing of being sandwiched between two LARGE pissed-off oil-lubricated dicks 6 inches from your tight little bunghole, for generations to come."

Is CentCom looking foward to finding out how the Iraq Shia will react if bush starts bombing the Iranian Shia? If, somehow, our navy and air force could block EVERY Iranian effort to retaliate by attacking the oil flow in the mid-east, that still leaves CentCom trying to figure out what to do with 15 million angry Shiites.

And I'd think that anger might have a fucking shelf-life akin to plutonium.

The Brits have 7200 troops in and around Basra. At this point, they are, essentially, part of the world's largest hostage-situation.

Does Tony Blair, about to head out the door, want to find out if the Shiite militias in the south will differentiate between americans attacking Iran, and Brits holding down the fort, while they do it?

Does Wall St. want to find out what effect the oil price going to $120 PPB, will have on their precious little Dow-Jones?

SUV's (with or without yellow stickers on them) will become instant lawn-ornaments; the price of a hybrid automobile will double in less time than it takes to apply for a bank loan to get one.

Shorter "let's do Iran". If it happens, it will mean two things:

George Bush has, literally, gone as crazy as one of Gilliard's shithouse rats, and, life, as we know it, will never be the same.

Lots, lots, worse.

Off topic: Sauron, with the One Ring, vs. Darkseid. Who wins?

Yep - in Dog-Speak "Good-Boy": always translates to "Greatest Fucking President Evah!" (or so I'm told by Sami & Poe.)

Wishing you a Happy and Joyous Season and a Little Xmas *cheer*to make things Merry & Bright!

And there's always 2007 to look forward to!

Happy Holidays and a Very Merry Christmas!

Very funny! I think that the cat one might be even more appropriate, though. Where 'What Cats Hear' is a totally blank balloon.

Happy Holidays, Driftglass! You and your commenters have made this past year a bit more bearable for me, and I thank you all.
