The Poodle's UNcle

I often wonder how Britain’s Great Poodle keeps himself from bursting out laughing while making his grandiloquent pronouncements. One of the latest examples was the Poodle’s fatwah regarding the Iranian President’s statement of the obvious, namely, that the Israeli state is illegitimate. The Poodle: “I have never come across a situation of a president of a country saying they want to wipe out another country.” Never? Not even once?... But wait a minute. Is it even true that President Ahmadinejad said he wants to wipe out another country? Did he say he is contemplating military action against the Zionist entity? No. All he did was to state the obvious and predict that Israel’s illegitimacy will eventually catch up with it (the same way that Dubya's illegitimacy is finally catching up with him). He also expressed the revulsion of the world’s progressive forces at the actions of Moslem governments that have recognized Israel or contemplate moves in that direction.

Incidentally, the last time that Iran made a major military move against another country was, I think, in 1738 (yes, almost three hundred years ago) when it invaded India. To find the next example before that one, we would probably have to go back to Xerxes’ invasion of Greece in 480 BC! I think the Poodle and his Master alone have committed more murder and aggression than Iran has committed in the entire three millennia of its history.

Meanwhile, UNcle Tom Annan was busy doing what he is best at, that is, turning a blind eye to violations of historical proportions of international law, and simultaneously condemning anyone who endangers the status quo. UNcle Tom Annan: “Under the United Nations Charter, all members have undertaken to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State.” I guess the Iraq invasion that has resulted in up to a quarter million deaths does not measure up to UNcle Tom’s criteria of what constitutes a “threat or use of force.”

Meanwhile the Poodle: “There has been a long time in which everyone has been saying to me 'tell us you are not going to do anything about Iran'. If they carry on like this, the question people are going to be asking is 'when are you going to do something'.”

Do you think UNcle Tom is thinking about condemning the Poodle’s statement? Don’t hold your breath.

The above image should not to be mistaken as a picture of Dubya's halo. It is in fact an actual picture of the barrel bottom that God has been scraping.
