Good evening. Tonight I want to take a few minutes to discuss a grave threat 
to world peace -- me, a mega-corporation dressed up as an ignorant child of 
privilege.

We all know the three reasons that war has become our first and only choice 
-- Empire, Oil, and Distraction.  America was innocent until September 11, 
2001.  But the events of that day opened our eyes to the opportunity of 
saving my reputation as a nepotistic election-swindler, while simultaneously 
fobbing off conquest, business failure; and massive fraud that I could no 
longer conceal, onto a man receiving dialysis in a faraway cave, in a country 
without railroads, running water, or phone booths.

A year ago we took advantage of the national tragedy to put our troops in 
close proximity with Chevron's newly-acquired energy resources in the former 
Soviet Union.  To do that, it was necessary to single out Afghanistan.  There 
were those at that time who wished to invade Iraq, and they had a strong 
voice, but we pointed out that there was no relationship between al-Qaeda and 
Iraq.  That was then.  This, I think, is now.

Eleven years ago, as a condition for ending the Persian Gulf Massacre, in 
which we bombed and starved and poisoned and irradiated the Iraqi people as 
punishment for that country's trading their oil without paying vigorish to 
Exxon and Amoco, we required it to destroy anything which, in some fevered 
imagination, might permit that country to, however feebly, resist a future 
president's wanton desire to dominate it.  

Many Americans have raised legitimate questions: About the nature of the 
threat. About the urgency of action -- and why be concerned now? About the 
link between Iraq developing weapons of terror, and the wider war on terror. 
These are all issues I have discussed broadly and fully with Bechtel, 
Raytheon and Halliburton, and there's no need to confuse you, my fellow 
Americans, with the contradictory details, other than to repeat the same 
absurd litany of senseless and hysterical alarms.

There are those who say the pre-emptive war we are urging is unprecedented 
wanton aggression, and an unprecedented violation of international law and 
the norms we profess to uphold.  They are wrong.  It is by no means 
unprecedented.

There are those who say let the inspectors do their work.  To them I say we 
tried inspection before, but Iraqis complained that our inspectors were 
spying on things outside their mission.  And our inspectors admitted to this. 
 So my father withdrew the inspectors and bombed, poisoned, and irradiated 
the Iraqi people.  Can I do less?

We know that Iraq has had great quantities of weapons.  We kept the receipts. 
 We know that they used these weapons against Iran.  The fact that we 
assisted them and cheered them at the time, and gloated openly at war between 
two nations who were processing their own oil, is of no matter here.

Like other generations of Americans did in Vietnam, Grenada, and Panama, and 
the secret bombing of Cambodia, we will commit violence and aggression and 
solemnly call it "defending human liberty against violence and aggression."  
By our resolve to put profits uber alles, we will give strength to other 
naked, garden-variety imperialists.  By our courage in attacking only nations 
that can not conceivably defend themselves, we will give hope to the world's 
other blackguards.  Children, kitchen, churches!  One America over 
everything!  Work will make you free!  God bless America.
