SP4 is most needed in Pakistan, which he failed to mention as one of the most passified, friendly places in the world. While visiting there he can help out by locating osama bin laden, who Musharaff is so deceitfully hiding from
his best buddy GWB. Finding obl should have been easy for the US, after all it pulled the most evil super-villian ever, [remember the old, toothless, weaponless, dirty bum] from a tiny mud hole a few years ago. While in country, SP4 can finally bring democracy to the place, another task that should be so easy, based upon all our post WWII experiences doing it.
Then he can dismantle the narco-terrorist network that is producing the world record amounts of opium and heroin, and buying weapons to kill us with the profits from drug sales. Again, this should be an easy task for SP4 since he has special training, the US has already passified Afghanistan, and created democracy there, and is even sending in another 3000 troops soon.
The opium plants should be real easy to find with their bright colors and all of our troops and modern surveillance capabilities aready in place. As part of the mission accomplished, SP4 can very quickly locate and take out all of the nuclear weapons that the military dictator of Pakistan has built, and arrest the Pakistani people involved with selling weapons technology to our enemy North Korea. SP4 doesn't need to be bothered about helping bring to justice the murderers of Bhutto, since he might now have his hands full fighting for the US.

for president. After doing everything else and making the world safe for Halliburton, what's left? The presiduncy. No experience needed. No brains required, Cheney and company will take care of that for him. SP's arse is already big enough(from sitting on the web all day) so that Cheney's hand up his butt, turning him into a sock puppet, is no problem whatsoever. Say no to Huckleberry, McPain, Rum-ney, and whats-his-name, that goofball fron New york. SPfool for Prez.

Noharness for President in charge of Vice, with Charles for de-fence misappropriations and Realist for obfuscation, I mean Press Secretary. What a team. The A-Team for the Republicants. Winners all.

Why is it that in photos GWB consistently looks like an idiot, a clown, or the moron of Mad magazine? Is it because of the vast left-wing MSM conspiracy
where all the photographers for the ultra-liberal biased media deliberately want the prez to appear to be a total fool? Or is there subtle shrewdness behind the seemingly half-witted smirk on his face? Conventional wisdom would suggest one should not trust such a twisted smile, but then again, the US has elevated this man to be its head of state, and commander in chief.
Setting mere appearances aside, there is more to meet the eyes, but it does not make the pres look any better. If the man is so concerned about the middle east, why has it taken over seven years to make his first diplomatic journey to the region? His gesture now seems to be a lot too little, a lot too late. With his entire credibility destroyed during his tenure in office, there is no way now for him to restore the lost prestige of this president. His legacy is one of complete failure diplomatically, especially in the middle east. While Israeli politians roll out the red carpet and pretend to kiss his butt, they must laugh at him behind his back as they see how easily they manipulate him to take actions desired by Israel, but actions not at all in the genuine national interest of the United States. Then the pres will be off to Saudi Arabia, among other places, to pay homage to his financial controllers, and the creators of al qaeda, the reported perps of 9/11. All this makes for a very marvelous circus clown show, of course presented as grand diplomacy.

As part of SP4's presidential campaign, I suggest a dynamic video ad depicting SP4 on his back, naked, licking cow dung from GWB's boots, while the evil Hellary walks all over him wearing black stilleto heels and a tight mini skirt. This would demonstrate SP4's special diplomatic abilities to please his task masters, and show his keen enthusiam for performing his duties well.

I love it when you folks show how unhinged and, incidentally, unfunny you are. Carry on venting your illness.
