Parody site or not? Tulip/Cedar/Orange/Rose Revolutions and credit?
I came across this site today and it made me wonder why anyone even bothers to make parody sites.

For instance, did you know about the Clear Strategy?:
America Has A Clear Strategy For Victory In The War On Terror.

America Must Fight The Enemy Abroad, So We Do Not Have To Face Them Here At Home. By using every available tool to keep the enemy on the run, America's Armed Forces can ensure that terrorists spend their days trying to avoid capture, not planning their next attack.

The United States Must Deny Terrorists Sanctuary And The Support Of States. By helping friendly governments control their territory and by making it clear to outlaw regimes that providing safe haven to terrorists will not be tolerated, the United States can limit the infrastructure terrorists have at their disposal to plan and carry out attacks.

Mass Murderers Must Not Obtain Weapons Of Mass Destruction. The United States must prevent terrorists from obtaining nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. This must be a global effort involving many countries.

Freedom And Hope Will Defeat An Ideology Of Hate. Through the spread of democracy, the United States can help deny terrorists the ideological victories they seek. Free nations do not support terrorists or invade their neighbors. By advancing the cause of liberty across the world, we will make the world more peaceful and America more secure.


Furthermore, the USA, excuse me, "America", can take credit for all the world's revolutions listed below? These were revolutions?
Since September 11th, America Has Made Great Strides In Winning The War On Terror.


The United States Has Removed Brutal Regimes In Afghanistan And Iraq That Harbored Terrorists And Threatened America. Fifty million people were liberated in the process, and both Afghanistan and Iraq have chosen leaders in free elections.

Across The World, Liberty Is On The March. In the last 18 months, we have witnessed a Purple Revolution in Iraq, an Orange Revolution in Ukraine, a Rose Revolution in Georgia, a Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan, and a Cedar Revolution in Lebanon.


Much more at the website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/response/index.html You decide, Parody or Not?

Purple one--that may've just been Llaweeeee and Chalabi's entries into Baghdad atop Humvees). The rest were farces to establish pro-U.S. regimes for the next phase of Monkey's World War III.
Oh, God, I didn't realize it was from the WH itself!
