House of Paine

is this the battle of bagdad ?

  recall algers circa 1956 .....

question:


is uncles latest 
"joint" operation
to cut bagdad
            into a thousand chewable pieces
likely to prove 
a worthy descendent 
of that  Gallic magnum O ?



nope 
or so 
sez tuck the fuck acheson.....


==================================== 


 " we shall not a dirty war make ...."

say that ten times and maybe ....

--------------------------------------------------------
 the frog frying legion

put on a gruesome show in old algers about 50 years ago 

  in less time then 
it takes to make a world cup final 
the " white hat good guys"
piled up 
   a   body count 
of mutilated sraps 
worthy of the top
 latin loopy butcher regimes
                      of all time .....
the cuts
the blood  the  shocks 

hey the fuckin  general
  parts  carvery 

composite the whole stinking mess
and you got a record
  that makes
  70's pinochet look like
                    mister rodgers 
                                 


--------------------------------------------


so
one might ask

has george and company 
got the heavy short hairs
 for a job like that..... ? 

prolly not 

if so 

what's he  been doin
panty waisting 
his time for ?


get it on baby 

NOOOOOW

"but tuck dear...."
i hear you saying


"the  ass hole amerikan public is watchin "

so ?

 those  50's frog brutes
did their damnedest 
with a full court democracy 
watching from
                 home 
       less then 500 miles away 

" oh so it it would be like us 
   beatin up on...
oh ya .... we done that ..."


right

 we done that
and  multo often 

but 
this is Iraq

this is big time different 


this is oil country

we're squattin on black gold here

and right in the middle of the middle
so to speak

iraq
   is not 
some string 
of 
sultry banana plantations


and more to the point

this isn't a colonial last stand

unlike france back then
totering 
on its last imperial legs


uncle plans on a lot more of these ops

he's got 

a REP TO BUILD HERE 

aif he wants clear sailing next time

he tries 
something more then 
just 
a quick and nasty get in get out
                          buzz cut 

times change nations change ...

today 
in this "post colonial " world  


uncle if he loves himself 

enough to want to look kool

 must "seem" to act 

in a  "measured" gary cooper way 

that is 
 
if this op
is one  
  where the mission
    calls for
            stickin  around for  a while

thats especially true


 if as uncle is
you're

 the only
         king hell dog on the planet

you better look kool
 and collected
and 
     only 
            "reasonably " deadly 



uncle can't get  caught
too many times 
running a one stop
 kills all shop

no 
 murder incorporated

which means 

no  "whole village" wipe-outs 


no poison gas 



no obvious boastful
    76 trombone terror details 
of any sort 

at all times
keep it lookin
like
one damn unfortunate colateralization
after another 

and hand out candy bars 

-------------------------
but seriously gang


most of all

and here's where we get to the heart
 of  the "no go"
on  uncle pullin
   an operation algers  II....

there can be 
no  massive black hole
intelligence ops 

      no   huge snatch  spill and kill complexes 

-----------------------------------------------
okay okay

i know i know 

you tender foots

are screaming at your tuck man


  " but but
      what about abu grabble 
     and and gitmo 
and the world wide torture transfer connection "

hey  lady woodstock

calm down here


i guess
  u as yet 
    haven't 
 read up on frog play '56

fine


then 
let me put it this way

pol pot had nothin 
on these razor heads
when it came to

"disolving
         secret networks "

-----------------------

todays lesson?



there are
lower  circles of hell 
dear horatio
now only  dreamed of  
                     by  your bushery 

--------------------------


ps 

"hey .....tuck

if no real clamp and chop

then 
 whats with the big build up ?"

  fair question:


  brass hat PR .....

  
in fact PR first semester 


when nothin from nothin 
leaves only  
dead folks
and big bills 
to pay 

try 
givin the helots back in kansas

a show 

give em 

at least 

the appearence of 
some mother fuckin 
               forward motion 


in this particular application

                   this means

  
 you get 
uncle's rangers
          cobwedin'
          thru  darkest deepest down town bagdad

course 
 uncle's 
makin
the local hires 
take all the close up shots  

lettin'  our kids
lay back ...

lob in the occasional
 heavy tech smart ordinance 


not impressed ?

                                 ass hole ?
