Texas Hold-em for the big boys

Bush likes to help people and make himself [our emperor, if you will], look good no matter what. Texans are into saving face. Perfect fit for Iraqis.

Imagine, as I easily do, a dozen very sharp Muslims [who own almost nothing but suits], hearing that an ambassador is coming to a nation that is led by a "brother" and the ambassador wants to search for weapons of all sorts, [mass destruction and others], and who had the covert idea of convincing everyone to become Democratic.

What would I do? I have my buddies, and we are all card sharks--with 1300 yrs experience in playing Texas hold'em. Playing the river. Call it what you will.

This very rich nation, seeking to spread their philosophies, comes to our card table with tens or hundreds of billions of dollars. We Muslims come to the table with $100 each, borrowed.

Our ambassador guest expects all players to play honestly. He wants to come away from the table with agreements, not cash. Agreements. Written and verbal agreements vs billions of dollars in cash. Why not? I can play with my girl friend after the game. Maybe we can convince the ambassador to bring more and more money if we "listen" to his needs.

We realize only a fool would play at our table. We have a stacked deck and we have a dealer who is the best card shark in the world. OUR sole desire is to agree to anything and get that ambassador to leave his stash with us.

We will agree to sign and dance, to not fight, to meet, to create a new government, to become a democracy. AS long as he leaves his cash on the table.

OUR rules are, our agreements last as long as we want them to. And our rules are, what we agree to is permitted to change [interpretations] as our whims desire. For that reason, few people are willing to sit at a table with us, because they know we are card sharks. We are Muslims. We follow a pathway created by a card shark. Card sharks can rule the world if they don't care about anything; so it is a no-loose game for us!

We agree to create a constitution; seems like this should only take 100+ years. We have to take care of all the industrial owners. We have to pay the fighters and the insurgents. We have to beg for more money cause we love to buy toys. A constitution? You want us to make agreements with our enemies? That is cuter than asking us to not to sleep with our cousins or sell or sisters.

Thank God the ambassador has not asked us to create state or city constitutions. Or to make sure our legal system requires the community municipalities to set up local laws.

Did you see that last hand? The ambassador agreed to pay for our military's weapons. And we got him to allow us to hire Mohammad boo boo to buy our weapons. That is another 100 Billion for our Swiss bank account!. HOW LONG can we keep these rich, idiotic, Americans at our gaming table?

Losers at a gaming table don't [have to] walk away with anything. By the time they find our hidden booty, we will have lived a long and happy life!

Just think; the longer the US army stays here, the less we have to get anything done cause it is a perfect excuse--"how can we fix our nation if everyone is shooting at us?" Works in the west, works in Texas, it works in Iraq.

The world sees the game; Bush is financing it and he is so naked that he must be getting a sun burn.
