Just to get a conversation going

Agree, disagree, or don't care. Why and why not.

I got this from a buddy of mine who is a Marine and has served in Desert Storm back in 91. Personally, I've been saying this for a long long time. I know it's an impossible dream, but one can dream can't we?

__________________________________________________ _____________


WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?
My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed.
Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.
This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China.
I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York .
A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, border security. So start doing something with your oil.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA
treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin."

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.
God bless America. Thank you and good night.

I saw that a while back. I liked it. I think we should support those who support us. Back who backs us. Later, QD.

hell yeah I completely agree with that speech. It's time that America stop being the gawd damn world police. We gotta solve the problems at home first then think about the rest of the world.
U.S.A. all the way

Just for conversation.. so what happens when we cut those countries off that help us economically.. we have needs from countries on the first list and on the second list. Americans are too comfortable with the way they live to make a sacrifice like that

[Spyder]

Fuckin-A

Is there a reason why WE have to turn the other cheek and every other country just does whatever they damn well please????? France and Germany weren't too worried about pissing US off and US cutting THEM off when they turned their backs on us. There are lots of third world countries that we funnel millions of all of our tax dollars to try and help, only to have it line the pockets of politicians or better yet when we need something they simply tell us to Fuck off......

My answer to your question is simply this: What do you think is going to go thru the minds of THOSE countries if they knew WE are for real? Who needs who the most?

Yes isolation is not good. Yes we need certain things from certain countries. But in all honesty and in the majority, we can certainly do without the greater majority of all those leeches (sp?) and still be perfectly fine. Besides if we get rid of so much overseas charity and hand outs, we may even have money left over to buy or make or build our own stuff w/o the need to go elsewhere. What is France doing for us right now? What do we get from them? Then why would we need them?

:lmao: that is the best line in there lol

This would be great if it were true, but our goverment doesn't have the balls to pull such a scheme, politicians are always too worried about filling their pockets w/ $$$ than helping their own. The major down fall would be the countries that we do depend on China/Japan, we have too many major manuf. and distr. from there. But then again it could be a good thing b/c they then could make more tax relief for employers to bring those jobs back to the us.

It would be great countries would definately fear us and would basically do what we said to regain economic support, but also we would gain many enemys.

I see your point completely.. just a couple of things

As far as drilling for oil in Alaska, what happens when those decades are gone and we're back to looking to the other countries? There are billionaires in the middle east who have invested a LOT of money into the United States not to mention other countries..guess what happens if they pull that money out? Its the same thing as sending workers from mexico back..the economy would fall flat on its face because a good portion of americans would never do cheap labor.

I understand there are leeches out there and I'm not saying its right, but I think a step like that would do more harm than good. The cost of goods stay down because of outsourcing.. although I'm totally against it I believe the issue is with those people running the companies.. they're the ones lining their pockets and their investors pockets while the employees lose their jobs... in the process creating a dependency on the countries you speak of.

Its kind of like the irony I saw when people were going through this "boycott france" thing, this guy had american flags everywhere on his cadillac along with "dont buy anything from france" in big letters while riding on michelin tires.. he never had a clue.

The same thing when oil runs out in the Middle East, go find some more or something else to pour in your tank.

Besides, they speculate that there may be the largest oil fields there which may be far more than a few years worth. We don't KNOW because of all the tree huggers.

They won't pull their money out. They are making plenty of money off that money. They're not stupid. Besides, again, if we put the money back into our own economy instead of spending it abroad we can replace those millions those investors spend here. Again, they have no other economy that can give them the type of returns U.S. economy does.....therefore, they're not gonna be so quick to leave. Remember, money talks and bullshit walks. They may threaten to do something, but they won't.

Leeches are leeches. Look at France and the rest of the yellow bellied countries. They aren't concerned with consequences. Why should we?
