The New 100-Year War

By Zamboni

We cats, as always, are completely relaxed today — curled up on our favorite sofa, grooming our ears from time to time — even while the Jeremiah Wright firestorm erupts around us.

That's because we know there are many more important issues on the minds of American voters than the fulminations of Rev. Wright.

One of them is the war in Iraq.

Back in 2003, Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell, Rove, Addington, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, et. al., invaded a sovereign nation on a pack of lies. Now, the U.S. is engaged in an all-consuming occupation of a country that had nothing to do with Sept. 11 — a move that historians already are calling the biggest foreign policy mistake in the history of the United States.

The presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain, appears ready to continue Bush's ruinous policies in Iraq. Here's what the latest DNC ad has to say about it:



Iraq informs all the issues that American voters care about right now. Even if you don't have a friend or loved one fighting there, the war will affect our economy, and our influence around the world, profoundly — for years to come.

You think things are bad with $4-per-gallon gas? Brace yourself. Unless we get out of Iraq, the worst is yet to come.

But — we're just cats. You humans hold the purse strings. Think we'll nod off for another catnap now — while you worry about your children's future.

Before we do, though, a huge HISS and SNARL to the lying liars who should be impeached for this illegal war. You know who you are.
