It's ka-RAAAzy George's Awesome Artillery BLOWOUT!!!!


By Blaine Fridley, Editor-in-Chief/Skiddish Pacifist

What's George Dubs' plan for solidifying U.S. alliances, making a little cash and spreading that special, superior brand of "democracy" that only the U.S. of fuckin' A. can bring you?


Guns. Lots of Guns.

Call it the Neo Doctrine.

According to a recent NY Times article, ka-RAzy George's Dept. of Defense Heavy Weaponry Liquidators is holding an X-PLOSIVE sales event and EVERYTHING!MUST!GO!

"From tanks, helicopters and fighter jets to missiles, remotely piloted aircraft and even warships, the Dept. of Defense has agreed so far this fiscal year to sell or transfer more than $32 billion in weapons and other military equipment to foreign governments, compared with $12 billion in 2005."

That's in addition to the estimated $96 billion in direct sales of less sophisticated weapons bought by foreign governments. For the more advanced weaponry, our peace-loving nation works with U.S. military contractors serving as brokers to procure arms for foreign customers at prices so low, they're ka-RAAAZY!
Here's a leaked copy of the Dept. of Defense's promotional sales video obtained by the DoF from an anonymous source (i.e. YouTube):






So, Air Force deputy undersecretary Bruce Lemkin, what is this semi-automatic SALE-A-BRATION about?

"This is about building a more secure world," he's quoted as saying in the NYT article.

Obviously. The more guns our country can get into people's hands, the safer we're all gonna be.

There's no way that CAN'T end well, right? Oops.

Hey, what's that they say about History? Learn from it, or you get stuck...I dunno...Doing something? I forget.

Anyway, I'm sure there's no chance that the "freedom fighter" we send our Defense Secretary to shake the hand of, and sell a couple of Shermans and Blackhawks to today won't turn into a "terrorist extremist" we're dragging out of a spider-hole by a thick clump of his matted hair tomorrow.

IT'S JUST NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

I can't think about it. I'm having a hard time concentrating over the industrial-level whirring sound of Keith Moon and John Entwistle doing 75,000 and 62,000 r.p.m. respectively in their individual coffins.

That girls with guns video got really interesting at the end when they accidentally shot the camera man.
