China's olympics are looking great. I was a little worried that the construction was behind schedule, and then there were the protests. But it looks like these guys are ready. It's great to see when a whole country dedicates itself to a single purpose like this. This is definitely going to be their 'coming out party'.
Yep Megan, these are your games. Because over the next thirty years you will be paying back our trillion dollar war debt that we owe to the Chinese. The interest on which will pay for these games and so much more. In fact, Bush's war will likely be such a financial boon to the Chinese that it will hasten their rise to the #1 economic superpower. Supplanting ourselves along the way.
When you see the beautiful sweeping lines of the bird's nest stadium, or the radiant blue glow of the aquatic center, take pride in what we got in exchange. We got a world that hates us for starting an illegal war. We own a fragmented country ripped apart by sectarian violence, as well as a demoralized and dysfunctional military which is now completely unprepared to take on other conflicts.
The Chinese on the other hand get a world class olympics which they can take national pride in. And they have a new pet that they can drag around by a huge debt leash called America. Ever wonder why the State Department doesn't take China to task for their support of African regimes committing genocide? Because they have us by the shorties of course!
But hey, we will always have the love of the Iraqis. Those hearty souls who tear down the soccer fields we build them, selling the materials for scrap and feed their families. And of course, they love our contractor built hospitals that rain urine and feces out of the overhead lights because of shoddy plumbing. Yes, Megan, you will always have the Iraqis.
While I'm at it. Thank you Mr. Bush. Thank you so very muchly. Thank your mother. Thank your father. Thank your whole thanking family. Thank you and thank your big oil buddies. And we should thank Cheney too of course. Yes, Mr. Bush, you've really thanked our kids. And thanked the whole gosh darn country.
Yes, it's going to be a great olympics!
