President
WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?
"My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.
Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.
This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.
Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short . TheUnited Kingdom, Spain , Bulgaria , Australia, andPoland are some of the countries listed there.
The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.
Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.
The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.
Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France .
In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.
Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? TryFrance or maybe China
I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, andRussia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, mez amies.
I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I loveNew York
A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.
Mexico is also on List 2 its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extrathousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.
Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.
We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.
It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin."
Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America It is time to eliminate homelessness in America To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.
To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.
God bless America Thank you and good night. "

I'm not willing to commit the 2 hours it would take to rip that letter apart nor show how utterly stupid it is, but whoever wrote it clearly has his head up his ***.
Some simple minds think there are simple solutions. The truth is complex problems require complex solutions.
That is all, carry on.

The world is a complex state of disorder. One simple little thing, like that address for example, will create WWIII. 
So yes, complex situations do require complex resolutions.

I've thought that an 'isolationist approach' would be a good thing for this country. Pull all our troops back to US soil, close off our borders, stop sending trillions of dollars to other countries... We need, and have needed for years, to solve our own issues/problems, before we try being the police force of the world. More and more it seems as though no one truly appreciates what we do for the many of impoverished and terrorized countries. We've been taken advantage of for years, and very soon, I see the US having major problems...
We're the only true super power leftover from the WW's and the Cold War... and for that, we as a nation have suffered. It's truly sad when the Canuck dollar is equal to the US dollar.
You'll still never hear that speech uttered by any President of the US. It has nothing to do with starting WW3... it has to do with the **** tons of $ all the politicians would lose.
I definately agree with everyone looking to France for their future help though. We saved those dirty pit stained freaks from certain annihilation, not once, but twice... and all they can do is F us at every chance they get. If anything, I think the President should give a world speech apologizing to France and all it's cheese eating ppl, along with their comrades for saving their sorry asses, and vowing to never do it again, regardless of the inhumane treatment and/or genocide being dealt them. Damn ingrateful *****'s.

If you don't like our troops being in Iraq I don't know what to tell you. I got a feeling we will be there another 30 years. There is one thing that scares me though. Think back to the Cold War. America's power did not end the Cold War! Russia going to Afganistan (I am sure I spelled that wrong) did. How do you defeat a great nation? You bankrupt them. Russia spent so much money on that war that they could no longer afford to maintain their military or really anything else. America is much more complex, but how much is the war costing daily? These terrorists are not stupid people. Now do I love America? Hell yes! Do I support our troops? Your D&*m right! What was our President going to do after 911, sit back and scratch his gonads? We pull out and leave idiots in control of the largest oil supply in the world? Hell $3.00 a gallon will be a dream if that happens. Ok I am done!

this would be one dumbarsed president.
Canada does in fact have troops in Iraq. They also have a serious contingent in Afghanastan. You know, the real hotbed of Al Queda activity that US forces have pretty much abandoned because of the number of troops stationed in a country that had no Al Queda cells prior to invasion.
Any President dumb enough to not know this and yet write a speech on it should not be elected. And any loser dumb enough to vote for such a stupid president deserves the government they get.
