PutinToon 65 - Iran, Iraq Kiss and Make Up

HUCK FINN COMMENTS: Great news, America. The signs of ending the war in Iraq are here.

Bush missed the key sign. Imagine that. Bush, once again, had the opportunity to repair his broken legacy but didn't recognize his big opportunity. If you've been too busy with the Texas and Ohio primary drama this week, you might have missed it yourself.

President Ahmadinejad of Iran and President Talabani of Iraq, two bitter enemies, met in Baghdad, kissed each other on the cheek and shared lunch. Yes, they kissed each other

on the cheek at least three times. This is wonderful news!

I can't believe Glenn Beck missed it also. This historic event, two men kissing each other after being bitter enemies, is the perfect excuse for Bush to pull the troops out. You have to remember, Iraq and Iran were bitter enemies fighting each other for eight years during the Saddam rule.

Bush should have called a press conference announcing,"They Kissed and Made up. America, we're going home." This could have been Bush's opportunity to take the troops out of Iraq, and save his legacy.

Now, since we must continue to feed the military machine, Bush could take the troops out of Iraq and send them down to Venezuela (Please see PutinToon 54: American Troops Surf to Venezuela).

At last we have a good reason to go to Venezuela.

It's not because Venezuela has the fourth largest oil reserve in the world. The reason is because President Chavez called my president, and yours (If you are an American reader), a 'devil' during a speech at the U.N. General Assembly. This is as great excuse, even better than the WMD excuse used to go into Iraq.

I. Huck Finn, of sound mind and body, would like to offer the following letter for Mr. President Bush:

Dear Mr. President Bush,

I realize your legacy is in a tough position, and basically you are on vacation for the rest of the year. Yeah, we know that you promised to raise campaign money for Senator John McCain, but I don't think John McCain really need you at this point.

I know you've been really, really busy doing things (I don't know what those things are, but I'm sure it's really important stuff). Now that you have restored peace between Iraq and Iran, I, Huck Finn, approve for you to leave Iraq and head toward South America; because we, Americans, support our president blindly, and you have every right to do so because Chavez called you a 'devil.'

Sir, let me repeat: you have every right to pull out of Iraq and head to Venezuela. We have no choice but to go to Venezuela, sir, because we have to feed our military machine. We can't have our military contractors go hungry, for heaven's sake. There's gotta be another reason for another war.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Huck Finn

What would Putin do? Would he have seized the opportunity to back out of Iraq after the famous Iraq-Iran kiss on the cheeks?

Da, that is the question.
