I'm sure this has been posted here before, but I think it bears repeating:

If General George Patton were alive and President of the USA, this would be
his Fireside Speech:

My fellow Americans:

As you all know, the defeat of Iraq's regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our
mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces
from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to
begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists.

One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side
duringthe Iraq conflict. This list is short: The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria,
Australia, Norway and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains everyone not on the first list.

Most of the world's nations are on that list.

My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those
nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved
during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi
war.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world
hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic?
Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to cut taxes and solve
some local problems.

On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will
hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the
earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe
China.

To Israel and the Palestinian Authority. You, boys. Work out a peace deal
now. Just note that Camp David is closed.

Maybe all of you can go to Russia for negotiations. They have some great
palaces there. Big tables, too.

I'm ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France,
Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring
from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN
diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid tickets
to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed.

I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. Pay your tickets
tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers, and limos be turned over
to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors.
Canada is on List 2. Since we are going to be seeing a lot more of each
other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change. Mexico
is also on List 2.
President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude
adjustment. I have a couple of extra tank and infantry divisions sitting
around. Guess where I'm gonna put 'em? Yep, border security.
So start doing something with your oil.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty--starting now.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens.
Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying darn tootin'.

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the
world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet.
It is time to cut taxes here because we will not be spending on other peoples problems.

To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought. Drop dead. God bless America.

Thank you and good night.
