Pop Goes the Karma ♠ C'est l'Karma Que V'la |

In a former life, I must have been a Communist.

Surely I deceived, starved, repressed, oppressed, imprisoned, tortured, terrorized, exploited, despoiled and murdered my human brothers and sisters as only the Communists can do.

For there can be nothing else but a karmic explanation to the fact that I'm ending up in this life as a citizen of a country afflicted with a malignant tumor such as the Galouzeau [de Villepin (Patent pending)] at the ~~Exogenous Malpractices~~ Foreign Affairs.

You see, pertaining to the situation in Iraq, Shiraq's powdered monkeys is at it, again :

Dominique de Villepin said a UN representative should be appointed to work alongside Mr Bremer, with the aim of handing power a representative assembly of Iraqis by the end of 2003. "The international community cannot wait any longer," he said.

Me so very sorry Massa, but are we talking about the same international community that was lethally patient towards the former "assembly" of Iraqis, just before the Coalition put and end to the expansion of uncultivable lands caused par mass inhumations and terminated the abject regime that was benefiting from its unshakable and complacent patience?
Me so very sorry again Massa, but are we talking about the same UN that appointed the aforementioned abject regime at the chairmanship of its Commission for the - I'm still vomiting out of indignation and shame about it - Disarmament?

If these are the ones, then I think I'm going to not care about them a bit more, thank you.

How many deaths does it take to understand that it is essential to change the approach?

Well that, I dunno.

Saddam was up to 2 millions and, God strike my adult male attributes at this very instant, you were, Sire Galouzeau [de Villepinٙ (Patent pending)] the most resolute and resonant organ to be heard in order to precisely change nothing in the approach and let him carry on.

Consequently, I'd say the answer to this villepinnian question is: depends.

Depends of the context, depends who's asking and who's asked. That's Zeropean (yes, me too) subtlety at work. Nothing is either black or white they say.

Everything is "Well that, I dunno. Depends on our best interest."

Our hand is held out to our American friends...

"All around the cobbler's bench, The monkey chased the weasel....»

... because the challenge affects us all...

"... The monkey thought't was all in fun, Pop! goes the weasel....»

...The security of the world...

"...A penny for a spool of thread, (C'mon! Everybody brothers-and-sisters clap your hands!) A penny for a needle....»

...is at stake."

"... That's the way the money goes, Pop! goes the weasel.»

Damn, sorry, I wasn't paying attention. You were saying? What? Nothing else but the usual ambassador refrain and diplomat chorus?

Now that's a relief. I was afraid I missed something essential.

Having said that, I scarcely heard Tumor Dominique vouchsafing prepared answers to authorized questions from the broadcasted made-up stories this morning, and my desperate efforts to fall back to sleep in order to investigate further on a vague memory of oneiric wantonness with various complaisant feminine entities were totally ruined by the infatuated echoes of the powdered monkey (that became my new scale for the estimation of the conceit of "nightmare" actually : cling to fragments of dreams filled with long silky hair and superbly feminine soft curves just to find yourself expelled by the intonations of the French Minister of Exogenous Malpractices. Nameless horror.)
However, the beast found a mean to put his brand new "our American friends" leitmotiv twice in hardly two sentences.

That's alarming.

If you consider that France cast herself vigorously as the champion of morality in words just to hang out with the worst scum of humanity in facts, when her progeny starts calling you a "friend" with the same insistence, it can only mean one thing.

There's another stab in the back coming soon.

Say, do you know this one Dominique?

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms,
Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

C'mon. Everybody clap your hands.

UPDATE:

Mitch just sent me a link to the Worms lyrics that includes the tune.

All right who's in for a karaoke?

UPDATE II:

Mitch, you wouldn't be wisecracking on me would you? Would you?

Then please explain that.

Mine eyes have seen the horror of the coming of the frogs? on the Battle Hymn of the Republic?

Ribbit Mitch, ribbit.

Article copy (alternate language)

Dans une vie antérieure, je devais être un communiste.

J'ai certainement abusé, affamé, réprimé, oppressé, incarcéré, torturé, terrorisé, exploité, spolié et assassiné mes frères et soeurs humains comme seuls les communistes peuvent le faire.

Car je ne peux trouver qu'une explication karmique au fait que je me retrouve, dans cette vie, citoyen d'un pays affligé d'une tumeur maligne telle que le Galouzeau [de Villepin (En cours d'homologation)] aux ~~Malversations Exogènes~~ Affaires Etrangères.

Voyez vous, concernant la situation irakienne, le singe poudré de Shirak remet ça :

Dominique de Villepin a déclaré qu'un représentant de l'ONU devait être nommé aux côtés de M. Bremer, dans le but de transmettre le pouvoir à une assemblée représentative d'irakiens avant la fin 2003.
"La communauté internationale ne peut pas attendre plus longtemps," a-t-il dit.

Faites excuse ah not' bon Monsieur, mais parlons nous bien de la même communauté internationale que celle qui était mortellement patiente à l'égard de la précédente "assemblée" irakienne, juste avant que la Coalition ne mette un terme à l'expansion des terres incultivables pour raisons d'inhumations de masse et n'en finisse avec le régime immonde bénéficiant de sa patience inébranlable et complaisante ?
Faites encore excuses ah not' bon Maître, mais parlons nous bien de la même ONU que celle qui avait chargé ledit régime immonde de la présidence de sa Commission du - j'en vomis encore d'indignation et de honte - Désarmement ?

S'il s'agit bien de celles là, alors je crois que je vais encore m'en foutre un petit peu. Merci.

Combien de morts faut-il pour comprendre qu'il est essentiel de changer d'approche ?

Ben ça, chaipas.

Saddam en était à 2 millions et, Dieu frappe mes attributs de mâle adulte à l'instant même, vous fûtes, Messire Galouzeau [de Villepinٙ (En cours d'homologation)], le plus ferme et sonore organe à se faire entendre pour précisément ne pas changer d'approche et le laisser continuer.

J'imagine en conséquence que la réponse à cette villepinienne question est : ça dépend.

Ca dépend du contexte, de qui pose la question et à qui elle est posée. C'est la subtilité Zeropéenne (oui, moi aussi je m'y mets) à l'oeuvre. Rien n'est ni blanc ni noir parait-il.

Tout est "Ben, ça chaipas. Ça dépend de ce qui est dans notre interêt."

Notre main est tendue vers nos amis Américains...

"Pan, pan, qui c'est qu'est là ?...»

... car ce challenge nous affecte tous...

"... C'est Polichinelle Mam'zelle...»

...La sécurité du monde...

"...Pan, pan, (Allez! Tout le monde frères-et-soeurs tape dans ses mains!) qui c'est qu'est là ? ...»

...est en jeu."

"... C'est Polichinelle que v'là.»

Mince, désolé, je ne faisais pas attention. Vous disiez ? Rien d'autre que les rengaines d'ambassadeur et les ritournelles de diplomate?

C'est un soulagement. J'avais peur d'avoir manqué quelque chose d'essentiel.

Cela dit, j'ai vaguement entendu Dominique la Tumeur condescendre à fournir des réponses préparées aux questions autorisées des affabulations radiodiffusées ce matin, et mes effort désespérés pour replonger dans le sommeil en vue d'investiguer plus avant sur un vague souvenir de promiscuité onirique avec de diverses et complaisantes entités féminines ont été totalement ruinés par les échos infatués du singe poudré (ce qui est devenu ma nouvelle échelle d'estimation du concept de "cauchemar" d'ailleurs : s'agripper à des bribes de rêves emplis de longues chevelures soyeuses et de courbes charnelles superbement féminines et s'en voir expulsé aux intonations du Ministre français des Malversations Exogènes. Horreur sans nom.)
Quoi qu'il en soit, l'animal a trouvé le moyen de placer à deux reprises son nouveau leitmotiv "nos amis américains " en tout juste deux phrases.

C'est assez alarmant.

Si l'on considère que la France se pose vigoureusement comme champion de la moralité en paroles pour s'acoquiner avec la lie de l'humanité dans les actes, lorsqu'elle se met à vous traiter "d'ami" avec la même insistance, cela ne peut signifier qu'une chose.

Il y a un autre coup de couteau dans le dos pour bientôt.

Sinon, tu la connais celle là Dominique?

Un roi tombe en asticot
La cause n'est pas entendue
L'asticot devient le roi
Et la danse continue

La charogne est bon fumier
Elle devient vite moissons
Et elle nourrit la nation
Les hommes, les veaux, les poissons

Allez. Tout le monde tape dans ses mains.

MISE A JOUR :

Mitch vient juste de m'envoyer un lien vers les paroles de Worms qui inclue la ritournelle.

Qui est partant pour un karaoke?

MISE A JOUR II :

Mitch, vous n'seriez pas en train de vous payer ma tronche n'est-ce pas ? N'est-ce pas ?

Alors veuillez expliquer ceci.

Mes yeux ont vu l'horreur de l'arrivée des grenouilles? sur l'Hymne de Bataille de la République ?

Croac Mitch, croac.

>>[Yawn.] Agreed. More than you can imagine. >>[ I was an Officer in the Armed forces; I served in the first Gulf War (with the 2nd ACR) and we were the first in Bosnia in 1995 (1/4 Cav)] Well of course. And I'm General Sanchez, blogging from Baghdad and posturing as a French just to confuse the enemy. You may very well be what you claim you are "Officer Dan", but in my experience the Internet is full of frauds ready to profess any assertion to justify their position. Lately, it's been crowded with Vets from the first Gulf War with a Yahoo email address and a big problem with America. If all you have to back up your position is this kind of claim, then I suggest you start addressing me General Sir. At any rate, I still don't see how the fact that you MIGHT have been in the Army, that you MIGHT have served in Iraq and Bosnia and that you end up having a problem with this decision of yours, allows you to criticize the choices of those who MIGHT be your brothers and sisters in arms. On the very contrary, I guess that's another good reason to show some respect, isn't it? >>[while you French had your thumbs up your asses] You're preaching a converted here, Officer Dan. Just telling you this in case that was supposed to infuriate me: it's not. I fully and heartily agree with you on this one. In fact, if you take the time to think instead of posturing as Officer Dan, you should be able to discern that this snide remark of yours illustrate precisely what I mean and what you oppose. How odd, isn't it? >>[ - so save the lecture and patronizing, been there, done that.] Yet, IF you did indeed (remember I'm General Sanchez), you could probably add: understood nothing. And since you apparently slipped on the central problem (that was "spending more energy to blame democracies than dictatorships" and "spitting on those who stand for the defense of the firsts") I think I'm not going to cut on the lecture and patronizing anytime, thank you. >>[I don't need a lesson in modern warfighting least of all from you. I know about sacrifice and I know BS when I see it. The current mission has merde all over it.] You do need a lesson in modern war fighting, particularly from me. You don't know about sacrifice and you don't know about BS when you see it. The current mission has no merde written all over it. See Officer Dan? I can do gratis assertions too. Care to reason and demonstrate or you'll just stick to Saturday night whisky bar chitchat in Montreal? >>[We will win the "war on terror" (...) if the enemy is terror then you better dig in 'cause terror is a strategy in itself as old as combat.] Yeah right. Please allow me to paraphrase you: "Yawn". I'm afraid that sticking to that argument ("terrorism is a method, not the enemy") will not get you very far. We're already past it and I suggest you stop haunting "democratic underground" and such places where the same truisms and other tautologies are muttered ad nauseam. Indeed, we still have to hear what you can propose to solve the slight problem of people whose only goal in this life is to kill or convert the rest of the world, by any possible means, including flying airliners into skyscrapers. In case you didn't notice, the enemy has been quite precisely designated. Remember that Axis of Evil thing? Remember these Al-Qaeda and Al-Whatever fellows? These are not strategies Officer Dan, these are targets. Isn't it strange that a former Army man such as yourself can't tell a target when a thumbs up (wherever) French sees one? How would you explain that, Officer "Art of War" Dan? >>[LOL] LOL ? What kind of veteran officer/lawyer are you? The 16 years old I-hate-my-parents genre? >>[Like every free market capitalist I appreciate free trade and I hate wasting my time.] Well that's a relief to see that you're not one of those stinky pinkos from the Great North then. I guess we should be grateful that you found the time nonetheless to read this blog, comment twice, and enlighten us with these captivating and extensive details of your adventurous life as a nomadic capitalist lawyer in the North American trade sphere. Not that it was exactly the main issue but I guess we can't blame you from dropping the ball on those that feel uncomfortable to argue. >>[Dan - who lives in the real world] We all do, Officer Dan. But some of us are watchful while some others are blind. Bonne nuit Officer Dan, good night. As long there are uniforms that guard us while we sleep, you're safe.

>>but in my experience the Internet is full of frauds And the pot said to the kettle; you're black. For all we know you could be a sociology graduate on the public dole. My advice, get a real job like the rest of us, pay your absurd taxes and quit whining about the French - its futile. Officer Dan

<<[And the pot said to the kettle; you're black. For all we know you could be a sociology graduate on the public dole. ] And that's precisely the main difference between you and me: I'm not trying to impress my audience or legitimize my position based on blunt assertions with whatever status a job, title or rank would confer me. Unlike you, reportedly "Officer in the Army hence-I know-better-than-you". What if I told you "I'm Allah, hence I speak the truth"? Or for that matter, "I am indeed General Sanchez, therefore I know a lot more about the current situation in Iraq than you, no matter if you served in Bosnia or not?" No, no, no Officer Dan, I'll use no prestigious titles, no "Dr. Dissident", not "Master Frogman", no "the dissident frogman PhD", no "I-am-qualified-to-think-what-I-think-because-I-graduated-here-and-there." All you'll have to deal with is my personal opinion, raw and uncut, clear from any social influence and expressed as limpidly as I can. All you have to confront - and all you repeatedly chose to avoid - are my thoughts. The very fact that you don't know if these are coming out of a stableboy's mind or a Doctor in Sociology's brain shall precisely set both of us free from the aforementioned social pressure. Now that's fair competition isn't it? Yet you've been doing nothing but skipping across the surface of the argument like a flung stone. 1, 2 and now 3 in ever shortening leaps, with less to answer each time, falling back gradually on the most trivial points. Do you really believe, therefore, that I'm going to take any advice from somebody like you? Sorry Officer, I guess I'll go back to the stable, I have work to do and taxes to pay. Having said that, I'm glad to see that the "brisk business between the US and your largest trading partner "“ Canada" as well as "the care you have to take of all your clients" still gave the opportunity to a "free market capitalist" who "appreciate free trade" and "hate wasting his time", such as yourself, to come back in these humble pages for a third time, and delight our lost souls with pearls of wisdom such as "And the pot said to the kettle; you're black." Thank you for sacrificing your valuable time, proving us that the Evil Filthy Capitalists do have a heart deep under their big wallets. General Frogman P.S.: Officer Dan, if you'd been anything else but a passerby in this place, you would know what I am doing to pay my taxes. Now let's see if the Great North Capitalist Frenzy will leave you idle enough to come back for a 4th turn.

Dan, if you served, thank you for your time. I am glad that you were able to return home and create a successful, and I hope, happy life. Others who saw Desert Storm and Bosnia, did not. I supported the men and women who served nobly in those actions just as much as I do those now serving in Iraq. That you served may give you insight, but it does not giant you dispensation to demean their service by calling it :dying for nothing." They know the fight is there, so it need not be here. It is on the streets of Bagdad, so it need not be on my street. And for their duty and sacrifice I will ever, be grateful.

Thanks for the nice comments Valerie. I will never support our current endeavour in Iraq, not until they prove the threat that was posed before the war amounted to casus belli. The current adminstration told us that there were WMD's in Iraq, where are they? Why are our soldiers dying? Soldiers that had implicit faith in the decisions made by the President and their superior officers? Dan

Dan: Take that: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/003/378fmxyz.asp and that: http://andrewsullivan.com/index.php?dish_inc=archives/2003_11_16_dish_archive.html#106904424760973924 Do you honestly believe someone would make the kind of commitment of men and materiel to battle in Iraq with nothing more than an axe to grind about on attack on daddy? What kind of logic is this?? I remind you we live in a republic, not a monarchy, and our Prez's word is not God-given holy writ. There is a system of checks and balances and they work. Have done so for a little over 200 years now. How dare you accuse "our boys" of being there without a cause! How shallow. How callous. How would you have felt, in the heat of battle, "knowing" the folks back home felt you were an idiot for being over there? More to the point, remember that it was precisely because we had the screaming LLL pull you boys out of Iraq in Gulf I that we had to return this time. You guys weren't allowed to finish the job. I am forever grateful to those who have chosen to serve to protect us here at home. Thank you for having served; but I am appalled at your ungracious lack of support for the current troops' mission. (And as for Quebec: there's a reason the French ditched it all those years ago. They don't want it back now either. Just ask.) Bloggez dessus, M. Homme-Grenouille Dissident.... >:-* -- j

Dan, Did you think the men and women who died in Desert Storm did so for nothing? Though I disagreed with President Clonton's dicision to bomb the Serbs and send troops to the historic mess that is the Balkans, I supported, and still do, the Americans serving there. Never would I say they are doing so for nothing. You state that you do not care about Iraqis (and thus also the Kurds). Why are they any less deserving of the chance to live in peace and freedom than the Kuwaitis and the Bosnians? They are not. Should our troops be pulled before the job is done, that would most certainly reduce their sacrifice to "nothing". Again, to all verterans and active service personnel, thank you for safeguarding our coutnry and for defending our freedoms. But that service does not entitle one to shut down discussion with one who is in opposition to your point of view by weilding that experience as a trump card. For if experience is the only criteria to be able to express an opinion, than all those braying in the streets of London should be told that their opinion is of no validity as well.

So, Dan, your solution would be to bring the soldiers home? Wouldn't that mean the dead have died for nothing? That must be what you want. 'Cause that is not what is happening. And what is the solution? Leave Iraq for Saddam or Al Qaeda? We are in for it now whether you agreed with the rationale or not. So, we either win or we pull out and run home. I lost a good friend there on Memorial Day. Major Mat Schram believed in what he was doing and he believed in President Bush. He would tell you that he did not die for nothing. As a matter of fact, Mat Schram would probably tell you that you are wrongfully misguided. http://www.blackfive.net/main/2003/06/major_mathew_sc.html I would tell you that you are full of crap.

hey Dan. I guess you are very comfortable there in Quebec, trading with clients. quebec such a provintial place, what kinda people wanna be like french?, if you are born in Paris, what can you do? But a french wannabe is completely a madman. Look, Spaniards have been suffering french unmoral foreign policies for yeras, thanks to them, we still have basq terrorism, they put the bombs in spain and they leave to france again, where they enjoy of impunity and nice wine, nice cheese, and nice nihilist people like them. we don't lose time with froggys, froggys make us lose time with them.
