They're on to us!
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING POSTING IS STRICTLY FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS IN GOOD STANDING WITH THE REPUBLICAN UNDERGORUND MOVEMENT (OK, OK, AUSSIES ARE ALLOWED, TOO.) ALL OTHER READERS ARE KINDLY ASKED TO AVERT THEIR EYES; TO GO WATCH A MICHAEL MOORE MOVIE; TO GO LISTEN TO THEIR STREISAND ALBUMS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Well, my little friends and allies in the Great Right Wing Conspiracy, our little secret is about to be blown wide open by the BBC. We had them fooled for a time; we had them saying incredibly stupid and wrong-headed things such as,
The Asian tsunami has provided a perfect example of the need for an effective UN under an activist Secretary General. This time Kofi Annan was quick off the mark and America's independent efforts soon looked superfluous.
(From the lads at EU Referendum)
But, no more. The BBC has begun to suspect the truth of what's happening, gradually, systematically, the Old Beeb is connecting the dots. First this about our efforts in Afghanistan,
So, how do you build an airbase in the middle of nowhere, where there is little more than a goat track to connect it to the outside world? Again, simple for the US military. You parachute in all the construction equipment from planes.
"This is going to be one of the largest heavy drops since World War II", said one officer, sounding very excited as we waited for the aircraft to arrive.
There is no doubt though that this was a display of military might that probably (??) no other nation could match. One after the other the dark shapes of five giant C17 transport aircraft appeared in the night sky. Behind them clusters of parachutes opened out and suspended beneath them bulldozers, excavators, rollers and other heavy machinery.
With their job done, the planes headed back to where they had come from: Germany.
OK, now you see why I am worried. You can see how the BBC is finally beginning to understand that the US military is history's ultimate kick-ass machine. It can build roads in the middle of Nowherestan, while simultaneously keeping peace in Bosnia; fighting terrorists around the globe; waging war in Iraq; keeping the North Koreans bottled up; maintaining 12 aircraft carrier battlegroups; and flying massive relief operations in South and SE Asia that are caring for tens-of-thousands of people. In addition, the USA has the heavens full of spy and commo satellites; its robots patrolling the frozen wastes of Mars; begun building an anti-missile shield; and, working with the Aussies, been developing a Mach 10 "scram jet" -- and foisted Madonna on the Brits (A Dr. Evil laugh is permitted here!)
