We’re Kicking Ass?

Sparxafire!

This just in: When Australia Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile asked your president how things are going in Iraq, your president replied, “We’re kickin’ ass.”

Woo Hoo! Kickin ass you say! So this is what a 3,400 U.S. casualty, $450 billion whupass looks like! That’s got to be one big dent in some big ass, right? So, um, whose ass exactly is bashed in? Well. I guess Saddam’s ass is well and truly kicked; he is dead and all. In fact, I bet the entire Hussein family’s ass is pretty rosy! And we have lost 3,400 of our own ass kicked (deceased) troops in the deal… That actually sucks.

Wait! I’ve got it! Your president must have been talking about your ass! And mine! And the ass of every other U.S. taxpayer! And their children’s… and grandchildren’s ass! That’s about the only sense I can extract from your president’s reductive, cowpoke, tuffguy remark. Sigh. There’s just something about a macho man who plays make believe with OPL (other people’s lives).

So, how many more billion do we have to spend to get Bin Laden’s ass kicked?
