President Bush recently explained to a convention of veterans that America’s experience in Vietnam should be a lesson to those who want U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq. he drew several carefully prepared examples. ‘Remember how difficult it was for Jon Voight to reintegrate into society?’ This drew several curious faces from the crowd until a presidential aide displayed a photo from ‘Coming Home’ on the projector. Ah yes, realization sank in. It was hard. What about Rambo? That whole incedent caused much needless loss of life. Despite the fictitious nature of these examples, many thought it should have been apparent to the President that the best way to prevent a physcotic super marine from returning home tweaked out from the war and killing civilians with a .50 cal machine gun and sharpened sticks would have been to limit the scope and length of the war in the first place, and more importantly provide proper military care after the fact. But the President had a better idea. ‘Keep them there indefinitely.’

Strength of the World
In a show of the resolute nature of the US mission in Iraq, President Bush engaged in a strong hand shake with Frau Merkel, the German headmistress. While unsure of why the president was squeezing her hand so tightly, F. Merkel responded in kind in an effort to show solidarity with the leader of the US. After watching the President wring his hand and break down in tears, European Commission President José Manuel Barroso commented on how empathetic the US President was. ‘He certainly feels the suffering of the commen man.’ After a quick tour of the Croatian wine country, President Bush headed back to Washington to ‘get closer to the situation in Iraq.’ It is strong shows of determination like this that paint a clear picture of the powerful and certain future of the USA.
