[bodytext] => Advisor: Mr President we want to get across your noble motivations for this coming war in Iraq. Can we go through that together please?
Bush: Sure! Well,... I am a man of Peace. Advisor: Hmmm… That’s a little difficult Sir, along with our allies, the UK, didn't we sell $18.6 billion out of a world total of $36.9 billion of arms last year!? Bush: Er…., well you know it’s about upholding the rule of law, I truly believe in THAT. Advisor: Hmmm… tricky. Havn’t you already been arrested three times Sir? Bush: Ahem…, er... Well..., I feel SO sorry for the children of Iraq, we must save them mustn’t we? Advisor: Please correct me Sir, but aren't we still refusing to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child? One of only two countries in the world who wont sign? Bush: Look this is awkward! You are talking to a POLITICIAN here! You are somehow expecting me to practice what I preach! Don’t you know that is a helluva challenge! Well, Sonny... listen... Don’t you know, I am a CHRISTIAN and this is one of my top motivations. Advisor: As far as I know Sir the principle moral stricture of your God is “Thou Shalt Not Kill”. Am I right Sir? Bush: Fer Christ’s sake man!! Are you really expecting moral principles from me on this!? Jeee-sus! Advisor: Okay Sir, I’ll help you out here, why don’t you tell me about your feelings on preserving the diverse eco-system of Iraq for the coming generations. Bush: Okay! Yes! That’s it I want to save Iraq and all its many ecosystems from this tyrant, (the oil in particular). Advisor: Hmmm… this could work except for one thing, our refusal to sign ‘The Kyoto Protocol’... Bush: “*@&^%$!!!!!” Uhh..., well..., let me see now... Er.... em.... Okay, I've got it! I believe in the sovereignty of nation states and that people should have the right to vote and have the political system of their choice! Advisor: Hmmm… What about all the South American countries we undermined because we didn’t like the governments the people had voted in? What about Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatamala Bush: Look you pinko somuva***** I’m the President of the United States and I am fighting this war for unbending moral principles! Advisor: Maybe you could show me a few precedents Mr President? Bush: I don’t HAVE to show you any precedents! America does what the hell it likes!!! This is AMERICA and we don’t have to give a damn! Advisor: Ahhh… now you’re talking like a leader Sir. This is attitude! Now you sound just like Saddam!
