The truth can now be told! Sure, there was some embarrassed fumbling early on when Dubya used, then retracted, terms like “crusade” to deal with Middle Eastern terrorism. But everyone knew, despite the denials, that this was all just another religious-inspired rehash of the wars of Christian aggression against the civilized Muslims of Araby.
How do we know? What new clue has finally been unearthed that exposes this dire conspiracy for what it truly is?
Why, it’s obvious. What’s the name of the individual who’s been tasked with the first step in destroying Islam and subjegating the Arab world in some sort of Coulteresque pogrom? Whose name is evocative of the French and German crusaders who event today — well, they couldn’t make it this time, but you can bet that it’s all being done in the name of those long-ago French and German invaders? And what were they named, and by what name are they still known by Arab story-tellers, and who is their modern namesake?
Why, General Tommy Franks, of course.
The truth shall out!
