Deep Breath

I read the new blog set up by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Read it for yourself: blog

Here's a quote taken from the blog. He is talking about the 8 year Iran - Iraq war. "During these 8 years, Saddam fought with us and also with his own people. He bombarded our cities with chemical weapons provided by the Western powers and also Iraqi villages and towns. During the whole period of war, while Saddam was bombarding our cities, Islamic Republic of Iran, obeying the laws of Islam and humanitarian principles, never attacked cities and limited the war with the army of Iraq in the battlefield. It is sad, that even this humane attitude of Islamic Republic didn’t impress those who at world stage watched the war at that time. "

If you followed the news of the past week, three events took center stage: the Israeli war on Hezbollah and Lebanon, the thwarted terrorist attack on airplanes from the UK to the US, and the victory of Ned Lamont over incumbent Senator Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Senate Democratic Primary. Here's where the real head slapping doh moments were. First Bush links 9-11 to Hezbollah, then he links Hezbollah to the thwarted UK airplane melee. Then Cheney links the victory of Ned Lamont to being a victory for Al Qaeda! Then even more bizarre and with even more absurdity, Lieberman also links the victory of Ned Lamont to Al Qaeda! Wow! The "all things connected to 9-11 theory" is expanding now to include anything that doesn't fit in with the Neo Conservative/Bush/Cheney/Lieberman agenda.

Lets come up with a few more things that will no doubt be connected to 9-11 and/or Al Qaeda.

Certainly if the Democrats take back the House or Senate then and only then will that action be a victory for Al Qaede. You must understand that by proxy any Democrat is connected to Al Qaeda. Bet you didn't know that did ya. With the majority of Americans registered as Democrats, caliphate here we come.

If the Yankees win another World Series, then this will be a victory for Al Qaeda. You see the Yankees represent New York and New Yorkers are almost all Democrats and as we know by proxy Democrats are part of Al Qaeda (see Dick Cheney). New Yorkers will go around saying, "Hey Al, how ya doin?" Thus the "all things linked to Al Qaeda/911 theory" generates on and on and on. Its a beautiful thing, very close to the notion of a perpetual energy device so sought after by our Middle Ages brethren.
