Well, Mr. Bush… this might just be the diversion you’ve been waiting for to take your “Fellow Americans’” minds off your fiasco in Iraq!
Invade Russia to save the people from their nasty government and to install “democracy” in its place.
Announce that one and Presto! - the Iraq problem disappears instantly!
Oh - you hesitate! What’s that? Russia has a real army and you could get badly hurt? Bad plan. Bullies don’t pick on those who can fight back.

The problem is, change a few words ... locations ... etc., and this could be anywhere in the world this year.
Including the U.S.
It’s inevitable.

This tragedy is exacerbated, and a harbinger of more evil to come, by the fact that G.W. and Dick-Head have just signed up for Putin’s six-week seminar on ‘Population Control’.
Hint: it doesn’t involve condoms, or Jerry, Pat, and the good ‘Dr.’ wouldn’t let them go.
