THIS JUST IN: Germany to destroy Auschwitz
"Wunderbar idea, herr Bush! It vill be like it never happened! HOGANNNNNNN!!!!"



NOTE: Hard to compare Abu Ghraib to Auschwitz, I know. But if Bush really had a "plan" before he invaded, he would've had Abu Ghraib destroyed FIRST, not turned into his own private gulag.

1. Yay!!! Wonder how the Poles feel about being attacked though?
Auschwitz is actually in Poland now, as Germany had to cede Silesia to Poland at the end of WWII. Hmmmm, this could get interesting?

2. yeah
what the hell was with that? I guess there won't be any crime in the new Iraq and there will be no need for prisons?

4. Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of prisons left...
A veritable plethora of prisons remain, so I wouldn't get my panties in a bunch just yet...Besides, that's the worry of whoever we hand power over to in a few weeks!

9. yeah, the president of Iraq will have to deal with that
whoever the hell that is. I swear he said he would hand power over to the president of Iraq, without any explaination of who that would be. Correct me if I thought I heard that and I didn't. Yeah, though, there's probably still alot of prisons.

10. Agreed...
It is a good time to be cynical, I know I am, but you know, it really grates on my psyche...Unfortunately I do not see the mood changing in the near future, until November, and if Bush and his pals in Congress remain I don't know what I'll do...because that would mean the loss of hope, and without that you might as well be in hell...

6. I thought they already DID destroy Auschwitz?
I thought that the only thing left was, essentially, the basements of the buildings?

Anyone ever been there? Can aomeone illuminate me on this?

Good potential for satire, though, Paragon.
