The Man who mistook the world for his playground

Just how did the Tard In Chief at the Whitehouse manage to get the media to swallow his idea that its now the UN that is the problem, not the USA? Of course he would claim its always been the UN and if they all had just all rallied behind him, with oil barrels at the ready, and reconstruction contracts in hand, then everything would have been tickety boo.

NEWSFLASH! The UN opposed the Tard In Chiefs invasion in every possible way it could, and they are damned if they are going to bail out this fine mess he's gotten himself into. Why should the nations of the world help foot the $90B bill (and lets face it, its probably going to be much, much higher than that) to rush into Iraq behind Uncle Sam and have him tell them how to put the country back together again. If they want the UN to clean up the mess and put their people in the grave jeopardy now required have a presence there:

  • The USA should withdraw completely from Iraq
  • The USA should unconditionally apologize to the people of Iraq
  • George Bush be required to publically and personally apologize to the people of Iraq, Hans Blix, the UN, and the world
  • The USA should immediately rescind its claims to immunity from the International Criminal Court and rescind any immunity agreements it forced other countries to sign
  • The USA should immediately be suspended from the UN security council for one year as punishment
  • The USA should be forced to pay reparations to the country of Iraq to compensate for the civilians killed and injured by its forces
  • The USA should be forced to pay reparations to the country of Iraq to compensate for the damage to non-military targets attacked by its forces

These actions will set the record straight that the UN did not endorse the USA's actions, takes seriously and rogue nation state that sees fit to do whatever it wants, and hopefully get the message across to Iraq that the UN is willing to help them and not bend over and take it from the USA. I realize that the UK and other supporters of the USAs actions get off lightly, however as the prime mover and shaker the USA should bear the brunt, if not all, of the consequences. Lets face it, if no other country had supported it, the USA would still have invaded Iraq.

After the above actions have been taken, the following should occur:

  • The UN should be given mandate to form a peace-keeping force in Iraq, which would only include USA troops if it so desires
  • The UN should be given mandate to aid the people of Iraq in the reconstruction of their country
  • All reconstruction contracts granted so far by the USA should be declared null and void
  • The UN Should set a firm date for national elections in Iraq, within a timeframe of not more than a year
  • The USA should pay whatever percentage of UN costs for the actions above is deemed fit, up to 100%

Yes, these actions may seem extreme and harsh. However I believe its the only way that the USA and UN can ever regain the respect of other countries. To admit your mistakes and pay for them is the only solution. We cannot go on with a never ending stream of bullshit based on the statement "We misspoke" which in anyone elses books is a cover-up for "we lied". Come on America, you're over 200 years old now, isn't it about time you grew up and learned from your mistakes? If you insist on childish tantrums and name calling can you expect the rest of the world to do anything else other than treat you like a spoiled brat? Or would you rather we run around shouting "Liar, liar, pants are on fire!" ????
