Hey John,
Thanks for sharing this with us.  I won't hold my breath waiting for this 
wonderful speech but it sure would be great to hear it and have a president 
have the courage to actually carry it out.
Virgie and Hoshi

>>WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, 
>>DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?
>>
>>My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been 
>>completed.
>>
>>Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our 
>>mission in Iraq is complete.
>>
>>This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American 
>>forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now 
>>to begin the reckoning.
>>
>>Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries 
>>which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. 
>>The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the 
>>countries listed there.
>>
>>The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the 
>>world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing 
>>copies of both lists later this evening.
>>
>>Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those 
>>nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved 
>>during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the 
>>Iraqi war.
>>
>>The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world 
>>Hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.
>>
>>Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.
>>
>>In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money 
>>toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that 
>>note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt 
>>you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the 
>>earth.
>>
>>Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China.
>>
>>I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, 
>>Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring 
>>from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.
>>
>>I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN 
>>diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking 
>>tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and 
>>crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps 
>>have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or 
>>watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of 
>>the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York
>>
>>A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely 
>>to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not 
>>ticking us off for a change.
>>
>>Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government 
>>really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and 
>>infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, 
>>border security. So start doing something with your oil.
>>
>>Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - 
>>starting now.
>>
>>
>>We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for 
>>oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for 
>>decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision , 
>>I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care.
>>
>>It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. 
>>Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn 
>>tootin."
>>
>>
>>Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the 
>>world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the 
>>planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate 
>>homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from 
>>America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe 
>>you and we won't forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You 
>>might want to learn to speak Arabic. God bless America. Thank you and good 
>>night.
>>
>>If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, 
>>thank a soldier.
>>
>>
>>
>>(If you agree with this suggestion, pass this along.)
