[George Bush reads a picture book to kids]

Once upon a time there were a bunch of people in a far away land which were part of the Axis of Evil

//(Axis of Evil = nations of Iraq, Iran, and North Korea no wonder they don’t like us)//

They were an imminent threat to our freedom. They had many weapons of mass destruction.

//(No weapons were found)//

They were terrorists. The US valiently liberated the people of Iraq and Afganastan in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

//(70% of Iraqis resent US occupation)//

We were able to defeat the Axis of Evil.

//(we have yet to leave Iraq)// Evil was defeated at home by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act

[Bush stumbles on the word appropriate and looks to Cheney who winks and gives a thumbs up sign]

(Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act = USA-PATRIOT Act which enables the government to violate the privacy rights of American citizens)

Terrorist continued to use homoside bombing tactics

//(homoside bombing = suicide bombings)//

We occasionally had to resort to using alternate procedures to combat these terrorists

//(alternate procedures = torture)//

Some terrorists were committed and sent to Guantanomo Bay. Here some terrorist committed acts of A-symmetrical warfare against us.

(A-symmetrical warfare = suicide)

When our brave men suffered surges (surge = when a mass amount of US soldiers are killed)

we would send home condolence awards to their families.

(condolence awards = money)

We will leave Iraq when the job is done

(the job = ? )

It might not be lies, but it sure isn’t the truth. Know what your politician is saying.
