We don't need no stinkin' French Fries!!! But, uh, we'll take your money and young to sacrifice for some bitchin' oil rights!

France, Germany Say U.S. Draft on Iraq Falls Short

Basically, BushCo has now decided it wants the UN's help after dissing them and basically considering them irrelevant for the past year. Man, they are so like that guy you date that breaks up with you on your birthday to go out with a really hot, rich bitch and then when she dumps him and steals his car, he calls you up to ask to borrow your car, and, oh yeah, can you fill it up with gas for me and not be seen with me in it? Great, thanks.

I mean, hello!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back before the first shot was "officially" fired, those of use that opposed the war were like "whoa, dude, seriously. Chill. Wait for the World to get on board, okay? Because we don't have the money, manpower or organizational skillz to do the job right, you dig?" And Bush was all "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I wanna go to war NOW! NOW NOW NOW! I'll take my toys and go home!" So the big losers in Congress and all the goosestepping, brainwashed middle-Americans started slobbering over bombing that dude with the mustache that we were just sure was invoved in 9/11. As usual, agression won out over common sense and now we are in exactly the position all the intelligent, rational people said we were going to get ourselves in to.

Instead, Bush squandered the incredible good will the world felt for the US after 9/11. Our leadership is the butt of jokes every where and respect has run out .

Morons run our country. There is no arguing here. It is just a fact. The Pointy Haired Boss runs our country.

Salon, of course, has excellent commentary on the subject today.

Would you like Freedom Fries with Your Crow, Mr. President?

Let me make sure I've got this right. After being insulted, belittled and called irrelevant by the swaggering machos in the Bush administration, the United Nations is now supposed to step forward to supply cannon fodder for America's disastrous Iraq occupation -- while the U.S. continues to run the show?

In other words, the rest of the world is to send its troops to get killed so that a U.S. president it fears and despises can take the credit for an invasion it bitterly opposed.

The rest of the world may be crazy, but it ain't stupid.
