Yikes!
It's still today.
Sad to report that there isn't a "Plan B".
Heck, there ain't a "Plan H" nor a "Plan R" either.
The Refugs are just keeping on, and as Vonnegut would say, "and so it goes".
I really coundn't possibly make this up.
You just have to read it for yourself....

All right now...some of you will say, "Hey, DTS, how do we get out of this mess?"
Ok, I'll tell you.
Follow the logic.
Do retired people like to gamble?
Have you come across old folks with nothing better to do than hang out at OTB, or Turning Stone, or Vegas, or even the grandstand at Finger Lakes?
Sure they do!
Ok...and do you think that our brave troops miss their families while they serve a "noble cause" in a far-away land?
My guess is that they miss grandma and grandpa too.
Now, is social security and medicare in trouble?
That's a "no brainer".
So here it is...the solution to the "War in Iraq".
We take all the old folks that miss their grand-sons and grand-daughters and send them to Iraq, where Halliburton gets a "no-bid" contract to construct a great casino right outside the "green zone".
No penthouse suites...the underground bunker would be the perk.
And the ride from the airport to the casino would be a very nice gamble, like betting against an IED going BOOM.
The reunions with families would be worth the risks.
If a few of the old folks get lost, too bad. They've already lived long enough.
It would save those "leeches" from draining social security and medicare from those that really deserve it. Maybe the ones at Walter Reed could have the saved funds directed to their needs.
Yup...you get the picture now. Let's turn Iraq into a gambling destination for the old folks. They have the time.
A plane flight to Iraq would take about as long as one to Atlantic City, right?
Thsi is a solution that makes sense!
Write your congressmen!
Iraq....the new "GAMBLING MECCA"!!!! REUNITE FAMILIES!!!
