Tough Talk with Colonel Hunt

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Only 4 percent of all the containers that come into this country are inspected. That is not good.

We are using United Nations standards to secure those containers that are inspected. That is bad because even my dog knows that the United Nations only does one thing well, besides steal money, and that is refugee relief. They have no business in this at all.

So, what brilliant thing did the clowns running Home Land Security do now, as if screwing up Katrina relief was not enough? They have turned over security for six of this nation’s seaports to a company owned by the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Just so we all understand this situation, the UAE has been implicated in the 9/11 plot and since has been sighted by the 9/11 Commission as complicit in the War on Terror. The UAE is not a country that we can easily monitor goings on in or easily get access to records. Hell, you would probably have trouble getting a copy of the phone book from there. So of course, we want to turn over already unprotected US Sea Ports to a country in the Middle East?

I know; how about we turn over US Beef Production to North Korea? How about we let Al-Qaeda run our telephone system? This whole situation just keeps getting worse.

You "wing nuts" can come pat me on the head and tell me, “It’s OK. We put classified conditions in the contract that have to be followed. Trust us; we know what we are doing." But this is one time, even you cannot blame Clinton. He was an ass-grabbing-wussy-boy for sure. And but even he did not give United States Port Security over to another country let alone one in the Middle East that is tied to terrorists. Clinton has been gone for 5 years, so tell me, who owns this colossal mistake?

I don’t usually do politics. Politics gets in the way of us fighting this War on Terror. It distracts us from doing things that will keep us safe. I do not care if Cheney shot the guys’ arm off (but hello, all you gun experts-- HE WHO PULLS THE TRIGGER OWNS WHERE THE PELLETS GO), although I got to tell ya, blaming the guy who was shot was amazing to watch, but in this War on Terror, when the politicians from either side do something so stupid as putting a company with ties to terrorists in charge of Port Security, even I get to comment.

If this is true...

I seem to remember, not that long ago, we were all pissed off, yelling, and pointing fingers at the United Nations and its Oil For Food Scandal. Billions and billions of dollars were stolen over nine years when Saddam was in power. Many countries and even more companies, including some in the United States, were implicated. It was a bad moment for everyone.

If this this is true we are about to have another bad really bad moment.

Now, it looks like we have 8.8 billion dollars that we, the United States, let someone steal from the Iraqi people. This is money that went from the US to Iraq that was supposed to help them and did not. It went who knows where. It could have gone to buy some slimeball a yacht or it could have been funneled to terrorist groups so they can buy all manner of nastiness to kill us with. Osama could be walking around with our money for all we know and the President has just requested tens of billions more for the war in Iraq.

If there is really 8.8 Billion missing, if this report is accurate, then we have over 2,000 American’s that have been killed and 17,000 wounded and nothing to show for it. While it is true that Iraq is now free, the average Iraqi citizen still has no electricity and the toilets don’t flush. This money was supposed to make that happen. As long as Mohammad can’t flush his toilet or turn on his lights and we allow criminals to get rich off of the money that was supposed to make these things happen we will never win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. If we don’t do that, the insurgency and secular fighting will increase. Disenfranchised Iraqis will not help us with intelligence, they will not become part of the political process and they will not stand up for their country so that we can stand down. This will get more of our guys killed.

If this story is true, and the money was stolen by Iraqis we should announce that we’ve had enough and done enough and given enough, that we are done. Bye! Have a nice day.

If this story is true, and there are Americans involved, we should put the bastards on trial for treason and when they are found guilty; execute them. And I mean in a public lynching kind of way.

Come on all you right-wing-nut-jobs, come on all you left-wing-pansies, come on all you uncaring, apathetic people who are sitting on your fat asses watching Johnny Carson reruns. We are in a war, our guys are dying daily and some asshole or assholes are stealing money by the BILLIONS. Enough is enough, can we, now, get excited and really care about how we are fighting this war?
