Tony Blair recently announced that Syria and Iran can both play a role in helping keep the peace in Iraq. .
Syria and Iran seem to agree with Mr. Blair.
Said an Iranian diplomat, “With nuclear weapons, we could destroy Israel and finally bring peace to the Middle East. We guess that includes Iraq, too. We don’t know.””
More from IMAO as this develops….

I emailed the RNC, and Frank told me I have to post it on IMAO, so here it is.

Message:
I’m just wondering, because appointing Mel Martinez chair was about the dumbest thing you guys could have done. You’re completely plugging your ears and saying, “La la la la la,” while your base is screaming, “Nooooooooo!” to just about everything you guys are doing.
Y’all have lost me. Completely. I will possibly never vote Republican again. And since I could never vote Democrat, except for maybe Joe Lieberman — oh, no wait, he’s an Independent — it looks like I’ll be throwing away my vote on Libertarians.

Maybe this asinine move will be the final nail in the coffin of the Republican party. We need a new conservative party. Because you guys are not doing the job. Shame on you for abandoning us.

Y’all can email the Dumb Stupid Heads at the GOP, too. info@gop.com.

Cindy Sheehan, having discovered that determination can overcome genetics and the Will Of God, announced today that she will live to be 1,000
When asked how it could be possible, she mentioned she would wait that long to see George W. Bush tried for crimes against humanity. When asked for his response, President Bush could not guarantee that he would live equally long enough to answer any and all charges.
Many scientists predict that living 1,000 years may be possible because that will be how long it will take you to get a doctor’s appointment under socialized healthcare.
Michael J. Fox, an actor who has supported stem cell research and anything else that might offer him hope – Natural Bee’s Honey, Hoodia, and voting Democrat – stated that if Cindy did indeed have supernatural genetic ability, then she should donate stem cells to help his cause.

…begin pouding your head against a wall now.
I voted for Mel two years ago and have been completely underwhelmed since. I at first hoped this new position for Mel would get him out of the Senate (maybe to be replaced with Katherine Harris or Jeb Bush just to piss off the Donks), but no luck. The Republicans seem intent on rewarding Mel’s low approval rating with more power.
Really, is there any reason to this at all other than just pandering to Hispanics?
I better keep working on my new Republican agenda, because the Republicans certainly aren’t going to save themselves. Ignore everyone in Washington; they’re Republican imposters. I’m the only real one.

Phased redeployment?
Come on! “Cut and run” is actually tougher sounding than that; at least it has the “cut” in there. It might be scary if it were instead “phaser deployment” because then the terrorist would think we’re about to use Star Trek type phaser weapons and totally freak out.
But that is not what the Dems are proposing.
All terrorists understand that phased redeployment really means “We give up terrorists! You win! Hooray for you!” The Donks might as well just start advertising America as the next great spot for a terrorist attack (“Now with less retaliation!”).
Anyway, if the Dems make us lose a war and encourage terrorists, I’m blaming Bush; he’s the one who is supposed to know better.

Those Kos Kids have plenty bad to say about America, but don’t you say anything bad about Iran!
And the Democrats now listen to these [insert favorite expletive here]?
Come on!
Anyone who does anything other than punch these people in their dumb monkey faces is not fit to hold office. The responsible thing to do is to take the Kos Kids on a boat into international water and throw them overboard. Then everyone (we know or care about) will be happy.

Part 1: Iraq
Part 2: Military Reform

“While the goal of any civilized society is to live peacefully while feasting on nachos and beer, we must not forget those who put their lives on the line for our way of life. They deserve not just nachos and beer but also our gratitude and respect and pizza with as many toppings as they want.”
Our troops are not getting the respect they deserve, and it should be a big part of the new Republican agenda to change. Our military men and women get shipped off to the worst parts of the world and get yelled at by superiors and shot at by the enemy. That will never change, but others things can change to make life for our troops better.
Whatever is legal in America is legal for Americans anywhere else in the world.
Troops in Iraq don’t get beer because it may offend the Muslims. That’s wrong. How can I enjoy my nachos and beer if those putting their life on the line can’t enjoy theirs? Troops should be able to have their beer in any country, and those offended by it should remember that out military is heavily armed and likes to kill stupid jerks.
In Saudi Arabia, our troops can’t wear religious symbols because it might confuse and offend the primitive cavemen that makes up much of their population. Well, Saudi Arabia’s whole existence offends us, yet we don’t obliterate it. So, if our troops want to walk around the Middle East wearing huge crosses while drinking beer and eating bacon, everyone else should just smile and wave and not make any sudden movements.
Other countries will always hate us, so why worry about offending their moronic sensibilities?
America is a million times better than everywhere else in the world, so we’re going to be resented no matter what we do. Any time spent worrying about what other countries think is time wasted.
Worse than the poor treatment troops get from foreign people (who, at least, they are able to shoot) is the disrespect they get from fellow Americans. We need a big change in policy to confront this:
We need to arrest for people for treason.
We’ve had like one charge of treason in the past few decades, but it should be increased to hundreds or thousands a year.
And what’s treason? Using propaganda to get America attacked and our troops killed. One example is protesting the war. When people protest a war, it makes the enemy think they can win. Thus the enemy fights harder and more people die on both sides. That’s wrong evil and traitorous.
The time to protest a war is before it starts. After that, shut up.
Not shutting up only gets people killed, and those who stroke their own egos with no concern of the consequences must go to jail for treason.
The other type of treason that undermines our military is the faux-support of the troops.
You are only supporting the troops if you support them as warriors and cheer on their mission. Anything else undermines them.
People who say they support the troops but then talk about them as idiots or children who need to be brought home to be saved from their own stupid choices do the exact opposite of supporting the troops. They are patronizing them, making them look weak, and encouraging the enemy. Those people also most go to jail for treason.
Some may worry that with all the complaints of civil right violations now, it will only get worse if we start arresting lots of people for treason. Well, the reason so many feel secure complaining about made up civil rights violations is because no one is actually being sent to prison for it. Start arresting them, and the cowards will shut up.
We’ll need to fund more prisons to hold traitors.
They don’t need to be expensive prisons with cable TV and rat poison; traitor prison should be extra bad prison. If people don’t like traitor prison, then they shouldn’t be stupid traitors.
Back to the subject of troop benefits, our military men and women should get lots of free videogames. My brother was quite happy in Fallujah until he ran out of DVDs to watch. Our troops should have plenty of DVDs and videogames they can watch and play as they drink beer and eat nachos during their downtime from killing foreigners.
If you have other ideas for troops benefits put them in the comments. If you are in the military, tell us what you want to make deployment better.
Once again, I hope you’ll all support the new positive agenda America really needs right now. Part 4 will be about border security.
Be honorable, ronin.

If you didn’t catch the video message from the Scary Evil Monkey which was posted Friday evening, make sure to do so. I was very proud of my new found ability to sync up images and sound, and opinion seems to be that this one is actually funny. Apparently, my videos are better with out any actual video in them.
Speaking of TV (well, not really, but I’m trying to segue so I don’t have to do a separate post), if you’ve been watching CSI: Vegas, I should mention once again that in those minature crime scenes left by the so far unknown serial killer (such as in the first two episodes of the season and last Thrusday), the clothing on the tiny dolls is made by my little sister. It’s not really spoilers to say that my sister’s work will appear yet again in a future episode.
She’s working hard to become a big time Hollywood costume designer. First she’s doing these tiny dolls on CSI, and then maybe she can do clothing for Verne Troyer, then maybe Tom Cruise, and after that she can move on to doing costumes for normal size people.

As we’re getting ready for the first book from NTM Publishing, Inc., to go on sale, is anyone going to be interested in signed copies of The Chronicles of Dubya? It will cost extra because of the additional shipping and handling since the book will have to first come ot me and then SarahK’s going to have to make her own trip to the post office to get them out. If there is interest, then we can allow that order option and keep some extra copies of the book on hand.
BTW, it looks like the list price will be $19.95, but we’ll initially sell it direct for quite a bit less.
