World War III Is Going To Be Hilarious

Posted October 17, 2007 | 07:12 PM (EST)

Your president giggled and grinned while discussing World War III today.

"But this -- we got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel. So I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III , it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon."



Hahahaha! Yeah! Zinger! That's funny shit. For the record, here's his expression while saying the words "World War Three":

2007-10-17-worldwarthreehehehe.jpg

To the rest of the known world, however, World War III a scary thing. It's just below abortion and above rape on the list of the all time unfunniest topics.

Let's break it down.

1. Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon, and if they ever developed one, they'd be smart enough to know (despite how we caricaturize Ahmadinejad) that using it would invite their own destruction a thousand times over. Thus, there is no Iranian nuclear threat.

2. Yet the administration is drawing up plans to illegally and preemptively attack anyway, based on the lie that Iran is a nuclear threat.

3. Congress, despite the president's 24-percent approval rating, won't stop the White House because of, 1) The Fear, and 2) because Congress has allowed the president and vice president to seize unprecedented power which almost entirely circumvents Article I of the Constitution (among other things).

4. Meanwhile, if we do attack, it appears as if Pooty-Poot might bring Russia in on the Iranian side.

5. And there you go. Knee slapping boners all around. Milk just came out of my nose.

They're marketing Iran with more psychotic voracity than Michelle Malkin attacking an injured baby -- and no one can stop them.

As near as I can tell, there doesn't appear to be a governing body or citizen group who can stop them from carrying this out. Congress won't and, honestly, they can't. Last night's Frontline episode, "Cheney's Law," underscored what we've all been worried about: Congress has been rendered ineffectual against the current power madness of the executive.

For example, has Congress clamped down on the president's rampant use of torture? Sure. (Torture is number five on the unfunny syllabus.) The Republican controlled Congress did this, but the president rendered the law pointless with a signing statement.

Ah yes. Torture. Not to digress too far into this thing, but you know how the president can look us in the eye and say, "we don't torture," as he did in today's press conference? He can say this with impunity because the administration has authored its own definition of torture which is so narrow that anything else -- anything you and I would consider to be torture -- isn't.

If it don't cause organ failure, it ain't torture, Stretchy McStretch-o-rama-funny-pants. In a sense, the president isn't lying when he says "we don't torture." It depends on what your definition of torture is.

This excuse, of course, is the same excuse future enemies will use when they torture... us.<snip>

1. And in light of the above, we have some people here on DU that...

believe that there is nothing to worry about with respect to a dooms day sceinario..... Wish I could feel as confident! Both Ahmadinejad and Bush are crazier than "Shit House Mice" so yeah, I am damned worried.

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. And don't forget about the psychotic Dick Cheney! He's EVIL

PERSONIFIED!:scared: We should all be worried because we know what these thugs are capable of and willing to do to further their destructive PNAC agenda.:(

IMPEACH NOW!

3. Cheney is the very picture of Himmler. Had Cheney lived in Nazi Germany

his actions and Himmler's would be nearly identical.

Know something else? Himmler and Cheney are evil, not stupid, therefor I also believe that if Himmler had lived in pre-2000 America, his actions, more patient, less obviously violent, etc., would be nearly identicals to Cheney's actions these past few years.

4. To repeat (again): Iran does not have nuclear weapons.

To repeat (yet again): Iran does not have nuclear weapons.

There can be no "doomsday scenario," only the obliteration of yet another backwards, Middle Eastern, insignificant desert country.

Try to get a grip on reality.

[guitar man]

6. yeah, but

do they have "nucular" weapons?

:hide:

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. No, but RUSSIA does and it seems as though Pooty-Poo is aligning himself with Mahmoud,

NOT the U.S..

[LakeSamish706]

11. Wrong again.... You are leaving out a number of things in your post...

namely Russia, China, and a host of other countries that do have Nukes...

[endarkenment]

7. Both Ahmadinejad and Bush are crazier than "Shit House Mice"

Only one of those two has a conventional and nuclear military force that is an existential threat to other nations. Can you guess which one that is?

5. Laughing all the way .....

Yea, I watched * yesterday. He seemed to be doing a lot of stuttering along with the giggling. He seemed so pleased that he could now let the cat out of the bag, that this is what he holds over everyone - that he can, at his whim, start World War III. He seems to be unable to recognize that this would mean that he would not be able to enjoy his ranch in Crawford nor his new estate in Paraguay due to nuclear winter. I am guessing that he has never had to cope with the consequences of his actions and that would lead him to erroneously believe that he would survive and that all the servants he would need would also survive.

I think this idea ponderously in error. This is only my opinion.

14. methinks a kool-aid drinker told him...

Jesus is gonna come back and bring him up in the sky before the shitty-radioactive flakes will fall.

And commander cookoo bananas believes it's true... :nuke:

[PDJane]

8. And why does he need the ranch in Paraguay?

Wouldn't be because there's no extradition there?

Damn. Get this man and his henchmen OUT.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. EXACTLY! He and his cronies will be living out their days in Paraguay

avoiding The Hague! I wonder if there's a way to convince Paraguay to change their extradition laws BEFORE the psycho moves there? Want to see a bunch of properties go up for sale in that country?

[KoKo]

13. And remember all the water resources they are reported to be buying up in Paraguay

Bush and his Silent Partners.... Bushies always land on their feet along with their Corporate Cronies... One World Globalized Government for the "PTB."

War? To them it's more profits and control... Just keep talking about Brittany and how she abuses her children...then there's Ellen Degeneris's little dog and tears....

Yes...it's all very funny ......:sarcasm:

[DemoTex]

12. HELL-arious!

Indeed.
