Recently, more than 1 million Iraqi Shi’ites rallied and thanked us for liberating them. Following this gratitude, they assertively asked us to leave their country and assured Bush that they were quite capable of establishing their own government.

More than anything, I wanted to tell the Shi’ite leaders that Bush did not invade their country to liberate them but rather he committed his illegal trespass solely to liberate their oil fields.

A little bird who had been talking to Cheney revealed this to me. That same little bird also told me that America has no intention of leaving Iraq.

At the moment, my best prediction is that Bush will give the Shi’ites the “bird” and then shoot the one who has been talking to me.
