The Ballad of Chemical Ali

The US is cheering on the upcoming execution of Chemical Ali, for gassing the Norther Iraqi Kurds, with the gas the Pentagon had supplied him with. (this was the second excuse given for invading Iraq, when no WMDs were found) For months now, the Turks have been killing Northern Iraqi Kurds on a daily basis, with US supplied weaponry and our blessing. (these are the people we came to liberate) This week, knowing that the Chemical Ali's execution story was about to break and could be credited as a 'Merican victory, Secretary of Defense Gates has publicly denounced the Turkish bombing of Kurds in Iraq and ordered them to cease bombing. How can we take credit as liberators, if our allies are killing the peoples we came to liberate? The Northern Kurdish PKK, which were good when Saddam was gassing them are now labeled as terrorist by US, because they are enemies of the Turks and we move our armament through Turkey into Iraq. The Southern Iraqi Kurdish PKK are our friends and not terrorist, because they are enemies of the Iranians, like Saddam was when we supplied him with the gas that he used on the Northern Kurds. Are you still with me?
The Bush administration is so crooked, they have to screw their socks on every morning.
The moral to the story: If the US offers you arms, to help combat one of their enemies, don't take 'em. One day you are chemical ally and the next you're "Chemical Ali." Dead!
