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 State s 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.

No, it wouldn't. Not for me, anyway. This would be a disastrous speech for foreign relations. I rather like the American economy to be strong. Should this speech and these policies come to fruition it would severely endanger our economic and security interests abroad. Like it or not, we need at least decent foreign relations to survive as a country.

I mean, yeah, I too would think it 'sweet' to have deus ex machina from troubles and complicated situations. But I know that won't happen, and it shouldn't. America needs to deal with the complex problems it faces, and not in this bumper-sticker, "y'all suck cuz I don't like ya" sort of way.

Maybe if a good speach and plausible:

Not Likely for Bush to do so. As long as war is on Republicans have a chance for being voted into office easily (Something about trusting Repubs more for military matters even if guy never fought.)

Maybe the Next, Democrat or independant, President will + that would be cool.

Utter Stupudity, I would never vote for that President!
Many countries has good reason to not join like the rationale for war was probably wrong(true it was wrong we find) or not trusting Bush.

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.

See this is when you know America has stopped being good. Good guys don't help our friends only; even evil does that.
Good guys help others regardless, sure we make sure the aid won't be used for evil, but we still try to help.

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.

Yeah right like that is believable, all that money will be spent on something else. Congress never spends it on social issues when given the choice.
Only as a last restort or when other things are paid.

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.

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.

I can agree with this. They should pay their parking tickets.
Canada sent troops to help! See even the writer doesn't know what he is talking about. Sure they didn't send as much as US, but no one else did either.

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

About time, Bush and his crew have put this issue off for some reason.

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.

Never getting my vote. Better not be a Democrat. Maybe a Libertarian won, hardly liikely since they almost never vote for own party but maybe.
Drilling won't help for decades. You just wreck the environment and animal reserves. Destroying conservation.

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.

That won't end hunger, that won't end homelessness, and what is wrong with Soccer?

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.

See this is why you'll never hear this because it offends 80% of the people reading it. Major reason is it is because it is too far right.

There are maybe 45% right people in Us, but they are not that far right. You are about 10% of the right.

You can't win a election with that.

You do have a point.

If we came up with a different fuel source for cars that would actually make it off the ground in production, we'd not have the problems that we do with oil supplies. If you ask me, I think the car companies have way too much power also, and none of them will do anything about this situation.

A little further on the oil:

There is not enough oil in Alaska to make any difference whatsoever. The amount of oil we would get would not solve our problems. Many Republicans, thank god, know this, and many have advocated putting a great deal of this oil in reserve, only to be drilled if things get real sticky. There simply is not a huge amount of oil in Alaska, and definately not enough to make any noticeable difference. We NEED foreign oil. We live off of it because we have to.

Perhaps 50 years ago I might have considered thanking a US soldier, not that Germany or Japan really could have taken the US mainland even in their wildest dreams... But why would I thank a modern day soldier for the privilige to speak English?
For saving me from those spanish speaking hordes he saved us from, in Grenada or Panama? For preventing Sadam hussien from sneaking his Arab mercenaries into america in the middle of the night and taking over, replacing all our bibles with Korans? I just don't see it. Plus our soldiers are drawn from mostly the poorest segments of society meaning lots of hispanics so I might have to say muchas gracias instead anyway.

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.

Not likely... The US spends less than 0.7% of our GDP on foriegn aid. The War in Iraq has already cost more than the US gives out in Aid over the course of a decade, including the military subsidies to Israel and Eqypt which help maintain stability in the region and also keeps our arms industry profitible.

Guess what, no foriegn aid = destabilized middle east= no oil = time to put your car/truck/van/suv on blocks.

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.

No, we're going to allow those third world hell holes to become breeding grounds for terrorism and drug production. Oh, and this will also close them off to economic development meaning we will never be able to sell them goods and will continue to lose jobs at home.

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.

Which will be hard to do without our Japanese, German, Turkish, South Korean, Saudi, Qatari, etc. etc. military bases. Furthermore, it will be almost impossible without our allies and their intelligence.

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.

Well, I guess the miliary bases, hospitals, and that new embassy in Germany are all going to go to waste. Oh, and severing ties with our three of our largest trading partners, including one with some of the largest known deposites of petroleum and natural gas, will do wonders for our economy. Not to mention all of those Russian nukes that we will no longer be helping to secure...

Meanwhile, Nato is probably one the best assets we have. Guess how many times Nato's defensive provisions have been used? Once, after September 11th.


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.

Canada is our largest trading partner, and without them we'd be headed straight into a recession. What are we going to do, invade them? Tried it once, and it didn't work.

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.

Rolls eyes... Our military can't secure the Iraqi border, much less our own (which is much longer). And how long can the American economy go without the honest, hard work of our nieghbors... I'm guessing exactly three hours.

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

Oh by the way, the Dow Jones industrial average just dropped 5,000 points and you are are headed towards impeachment.


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.

The entire Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge can supply the US for about six months. Even if we drill every nook and cranny in the State, it would take years to build the infrstructure to get it back to the lower 48. And then, the oil would not last us for more than a decade, tops. Meanwhile, China and India are looking to increase their energy consumption, and will be happy to fill our dropped orders from the OPEC nations. Yeah, Americans had better get used to walking...

Oh, and good luck getting the oil down after pissing Canada off

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.

Yes, a hundred years of bombing, invading, supporting coups, blockading, sanctioning, exploiting, and pillaging other nations has really made the world better.

By the way, one wonders what would happen to our economy if the hundreds of billions of dollars we owe other nations suddenly was presented to us to be paid back? What about the US govermental property abroad that could be siezed? The US corporations property?

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.

Even though there is a good chance the soldier grew up speaking spanish, and there was never an attempt to ban English anywhere. Never mind the fact that English is the single most important and widely spoken language in the world.

Anyways, this kind of flag waving, jingoistic BS is a black mark on America.

PS. no fucking American soldier has died defending "our freedom" in the last 50 years. Unless "our freedom" means corporate intrests.

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


This, I can get behind. (Do you know that if you slash the tires of a diplomatic vehicle, you can still get in trouble? Apparently this "immunity" only works one way. How childish.)

and all the foods (inluding fruits and veggies) suddenly either take a huge jump or cannot be found of love for money.


The United States is one of the few countries in the world that can feed itself. In fact, we produce so much food that we can’t possibly consume it all ourselves.

Not to mention that they get away with far more atrocious crimes. Recently, the FBI conducted a sting operation online to catch pedophiles. An agent passed himself off as a young girl on the internet and was solicited by an Arab national. They set up a time to meet, and when the guy arrived he was arrested by federal agents. Unfortunately, it turns out that the Arab had diplomatic immunity, so was simply deported instead of being prosecuted. A travesty of justice. :(

Jesus Christ on a cracker. People here in America wonder why we Americans are so hated, and that blindly nationalistic bullshit is proof of why. I'm on the verge of twitching with frustration that such people really believe such actions could possibly be good for us, or anyone else. Gaaah.

Without the oil imports from the Middle East, I would be very interested in seeing just how long the US can produce the excess of food that it has. Others have already pointed out that the Alaskan wilderness will not have the oil it will take to support the economy as it stands for a significant period of time.

Additionally, a sudden cut off like this means oil reserves would plummet without a fresh influx very quickly. Oil rigs after all, do not sprout up overnight.

I thank British Imperialism, not any U.S. soldier.

I would not be happy for my country to be on list one, to be aligned with a racist, xenophobic nation like the U.S.A.

^^ And the Brits thank you, sir ^^

As a Brit, and as a student of history, (especially the empire) I wonder what happened to send America off on this ridiculous tangent, while the commonwealth countries are a community.

I don't know why the yanks complain about France, when France is the country that basically allowed them to slip out from the Empire.

Food for thought ~

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.


-snip-


god, if any american president stood up and said that, my faith in america would disintegrate completely in an instant :rolleyes:

if only this read more like a joke...

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
good intentions, bad methods is all that needs to be said here


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.

...

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.
yay for short-termist, narrow minded thinking :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.this one especially would make sure i call this president a total asshole as often as possible

True... except that we don't produce bananas, or a host of other fruits and veggies that we have come to expect to be in our supermarkets at all times.

Most of the US lies within a temperate zone, meaning that our growing season is only so many months long, not year around. Again, we cut off the world, forget those apples year around, we won't have them.

Finally, without migrant workers (mostly illegals) working for piss poor wages to PICK the damn things, farmers will have to hire Americans who will demand a good wage, benifits, and the like. Guess where that cost will be going to? Yeah, we CAN feed ourselves, but not at the cost and varaity that we currenly enjoy and like.

Or get them made in sweat shop full of mexicans and asians.
Can't, according to this thing, we're cutting off relations with all third world nations and anyone else who didn't support us, inlcuding Mexico. Since it was mainly industrialized nations that supported the US, and they don't allow sweatshops... sorry.

Dang, I wasn‘t thinking about the farming equipment and the transportation. :headbang:

Anyway, please don’t mistake me for a supporter of this thing. It is completely idiotic from the first sentence. The only part I agree with is the stuff about diplomatic immunity.

<snip idiocy>

And they wonder why people hate America so much... :rolleyes:

It is some consolation that a US president holding such a speech would pretty much mean the end of America as a superpower immediately. It would also pretty much send the world economy into ruin as well, but it would be worth it to see the place crash and burn.

*sigh*

The United States is bad for my blood pressure. Perhaps I should sue.

I can't quite agree with myself whether I find this thread completely insane or slightly encouraging. A bit of both maybe. At least it's nice to see some people can see past the bullshit of the initial post.
I'll only touch 2 of the things.

100 years of helping who? Exporting 0.7% of your GDP is hardly impressive. Other nations do the same. Besides, most of our nations have promised eachother to pay at least 1%.
And those 0.7% goes in large part to oppressive regimes the US have put in power to secure their own financial interests. Besides, your weapons industry exports arms for more than this amount. Arms used primarily to fight ethnic minorities or entire populations to keep popular movements from overthrowing the regimes you - to a large degree at least - inserted in the first place.
The very very few nice things you, as a nation, do around the world does not in any way compare to all the atrocities you commit directly and indirectly.

Now if you changed the above behaviour, perhaps you wouldn't need diplomatic immunity. Because it's only there to prevent civil rights movements anf the like from hauling off all your diplomatic relations and have them put away for life. Those parking tickets you bitch about is a nessecary ill to keep the rotten bastards from being judged to life inprosonment for crimes against humanity. And I can't help but wonder... If it's ok for them to be involved in genocides, torture and who knows what, why do you care about a few parking tickets?! Besides, if you don't expect the deranged psychos to abide by international laws, what makes you think they'll give a shit about your local ones?

Oh well... Please. Go ahead and do what it says in the email. All the countless wars and the collapse of the global economy would be worth it, just to see you lot rot away in poverty.

Well, i wonder why, oh wait, it cos america has a whole bunch of very vocal a**holes like you!


To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

Im from a list one country, and guess what, most of the population would agree with the above opinion. Our soldiers were dragged into this conflict by not only our own, but 3 lying governments. Guess what, there were no "WMD's" in Iraq. But there's a whole heap of oil!

Not only were our military dragged to an oil war, the "payoff" for our participation in it was a "free" trade agreement that, not only excludes several different farming industries, but also forces U.S patent laws upon us.
Goodbye cheap medicines!!!!

We don't appreciate your thanx, we dont appreciate your free trade agreement, and we certainly dont appreciate your f**king opinion!!!!

So from most of australia, get f**ked, yankee b**tard!
