It’s Satire but It’s Good.

Click right here for a clever idea.

Officials in the French government are confirming at the time of publication that they are in conversations with high-level French attorneys in an effort to determine if a bill for cleaning up after the horrific massacre in the streets of Paris late Friday night.

Reminder: it’s satire but nonetheless a good idea.

Thanks to Nobby for the heads up.

  1. Make the SOB pay for *something* at least. Certainly we’ll never get back the money spent and the lives and limbs lost on both sides.

    Pretty sure Halliburton had one of those delightful “no-bid” contracts, too!

  3. How I hate the fact that this is satire. And how I wish it were true. Even more, I wish Cheney, Bush, Rice and Rumsfeld would get hauled in front of the Hague.

  4. Sorry but you are dealing with guys who literally thought that if you bombed Iraq it would magically turn into Republican-voting Orange county.

    And it would have worked, too. Except that Obummer screwed it all up by adhering to the treaty commitments of the prior administration.

    They really think that.

  5. To Aggieland Liz:
    Weren’t they the ones who designed the showers that were electrocuting our troops? And building those plywood jeeps that were sent over in the first stages of the war? The ones that our kids had to scavenge sheet metal to clad them in so that, at least, huge splinters of plywood wouldn’t stab them in their hearts when they hit those IED’s embedded in the roads? THOSE no-bid contracts?

  6. Oooooh, that burns. What a really good idea. Wish we could make it happen for reals.

    Clever. But the author obviously does not understand the game of politics that right-wing conservatives play. The rules are simple:

    We play. You pay.

    It’s their foreign policy, their domestic policy, their economic and social policy… hell, its the philosophy at the heart of who they are. It is my great sadness that so many in this country and around the world can’t or won’t see this truth.

  8. Sometimes I am very grateful for satire! This was so well done! And yes I agree the bill should land in his lap and add all the other neocons in the Bush administration as well. Rice? Hey, for someone so well educated, she was totally fluff! And they were counting on that! Word on the streets around here at the time was that the Arab prince who was the Saudi ambassador at the time actually had to leave his post to handle, for us, all the middle eastern stuff that was way beyond Rice’s European worldview.

    Just saw a clip on TV on how John Oliver handled the massacre in Paris. If you can find it, you just gotta see it. His conclusion is that if the jihadists are determined to destroy western culture and civilization — and they picked Paris, France — well, good luck that (dumb bells!).

    Are we sure it’s satire? It sounds so much more plausible than anything else we’ve been told.
    The repugs do have a solution to all this mess. As soon as they can they are invading Iran. That will make it allll better.

  10. Provide them with a free one-way trip to Paris, in handcuffs and bags over their heads. Stand them in front of the concert hall where most of the victims were killed and let Madame DuFarge and Company loose.

    Not to be picky, JJ, but if it weren’t for the link, I would have had no idea what the quote was about. Learning it was about laying responsibility at the feet of Dick Cheney (ptui) made it all that much better.

    maryelle, let’s not be hasty, we do have ‘the rule of law’ here. Let’s produce one big RICO indictment naming all the criminals and seizing their assets. Then we can ship them to the Hague for further adjudication. After that, any group that wants them deserves a piece of the action. Madame Defarge and Madame Le Guillotine certainly have historical precedent.

    I agree we should abide by rule of law in the USA. But nothing says the USA can’t build a holding facility on-board the international airport in say, Damascas. Then transfer these detainees there by aircraft. Guards for such a facility might be unnecessary.
