My stepdad, a retired Col. who did 3 tours in Vietnam, forwarded this to me.

He very seldom considers much to be worth forwarding.

Let's not get a political thing going here.

I just wanted to share it.

>>> Subject: A Well Needed Presidential Speech!!
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> 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 tanks 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.
>>>
>>> If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in
>>> English, thank a soldier.
>>>
>>> (Please forward this to at least ten friends and see what happens!
>>
>>> Let's get this to every USA computer!)
>>

Best Regards,

Dave

I don't think it was meant as a joke, but OK.

I thought some parts of it made sense.

Don't be so quick to shoot things down.

Regards,

Dave

A one world order/new world order needs the UN to take over the US military command. The Pentagon can become world headquarters for the UN military/police.

Let's see, international Socialism will negate the need for all 50 State legislatures and independant thinking. The US economy can merge with a reconstituted Soviet Union.

Progressive internationalist thinking is the future. Forget all about constitutional Republics and rule of law. Work will make us all free!

We must start by re-educating all intellectuals in collectivist work farms/camps. ;)
