FLASH - Bush creates another alliance in his War on Terror: al-Qaeda pledges support to Iraq

In another stunning demonstration of George W. Bush's effectiveness in creating alliances in his War on Terror, the leader of the most feared militant group in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has declared his allegiance to Osama bin Laden, saying that his organization has agreed with al-Qaeda over strategy and the need for unity against "the enemies of Islam."



Displaying an utter inability to grasp the concept of "past tense" a White House spokesperson said "We've always said there were ties between Zarqawi and al-Qaeda, which underscores once again why Iraq is the central front in the war on terror."



No, you idiot. Here's the way it went:

1) first we invaded a nation that had nothing to do with al-Qaeda, possessed no weapons of mass destruction, and posed no threat whatsoever to America and then,



2) we proceeded to disrupt their economy, randomly arrest and lock-up the locals and abuse them while in prison, appoint a petty dictator of our choosing, and generally do everything possible to ensure that chaos would reign in the streets, and finally,



3) the local insurgents joined forces with our enemies at al-Qaeda.

So, if your neighbor tells you that she's voting for George W. Bush because he will "make us safer," ask her where in the world she got that idea.
