The difference between Iraq and North Korea ( or any other tinpot
dictatorship)?
WE KNOW WE CAN TAKE IRAQ!!!!!
WOOOHOOOO!
Let's go after Grenada again too. They've got beaches and a yachting center.
After that we'll kick the shit out of Belize.
Personally, I'm just dying to go after Rhode Island. I know it's a state and
all, but it's nothing but strip clubs, mafioso, politicians named "Buddy",
and some guys with names like Ruumford talking about their sailboats. Their
sweaters alone are infuriating.
Rhode Island cannot prove that they are not hiding weapons of mass
destruction. You can just see it in their smug little faces. They have one
week to comply, and then we're goin' in. First we take out that dopey little
ballpark in Pawtucket. We overrun Woonsocket in a pincer movement. Cranston
will fall without resistance. Then we seize Cheaters and The Foxy Lady. From
there we can shell Newport. In the meantime a full-scale naval assault on
Aquidneck will commence. Of course there's some risk of friendly fire, but
the Navy's already there, so we might as well use it. I've always hated
those damned bars on Thames St. Christ, they can't even pronounce Thames
correctly. Poncy little preppies in their Bass Weejuns with those damned
sweaters tied around their necks! Have you seen them mincing around! The
pastel colored pants alone are reason for a cruise missile or two.
Once we've neutralized Newport, freeing the poor oppressed people of
Tiverton, we can consolidate our hold on the fine Italian restaurants of
Providence. Just think of the opportunities for R&R for our fine young
servicemen in the "Adult Entertainment Capital of New England".
No longer will Rhode Island threaten New Bedford and Fall River. Cuttyhunk
shall be safe. Martha's Vineyard shall remain free. Providence will cease to
harass Connecticut with exports of machine Democrats.
Screw Saddam Hussein. Buddy Cianci could rise again. We need more regime
change in Rhode Island. Come on! Who's with me?
Let's Ride!
Joe
