Can I get a thank you?

06.12.2005

Those two "war mongers" Bush & Blair did it again. They just spearheaded a drive to forgive $55 billion in third world debt, the largest debt relief package in history. Oh, the humanity! But, seriously, I'm waiting to see how the "Bu$h = Hitler" propaganda machine spins this one. For starters, how about not running on the front of The New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC News, CNN — it's fun, you should try it. Kudos to NPR for running a brief blurb; drats for focusing on how it should've been more aid.

Oh, one of the 30 countries to benefit from debt forgiveness? Bolivia. Wiped out almost half.

I'm sure the propaganda will attribute some sort of "corporate cause" to the debt relief. Somehow, it'll be spun as a way for the war mongers to assist the war profiteers. Betcha.
