The Middle East Goes Batty Over The Dark Knight

Satire By John Lillpop


No, not the movie just released stateside and already a box office mega-success!
We are talking about the real Dark Knight who answers to the name Barack Obama.
Obama has expanded his campaign act to the Middle East where he popped in on the troops in Afghanistan, and immediately took on the role of a huge favorite to many of the troops.
Next stop for Obama is Iraq where the candidate has shoved President Bush out of the picture by securing the approval of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki for his (Obama's) plans for withdrawing American troops.

While there, Obama will visit the grave of Saddam Hussein, the man from whom the candidate's middle name was derived.
Later next week, America's Dark Knight will visit Israel and the West Bank where he will show off his considerable flip-flopping skills by "disexplaining" his position(s) on Jerusalem.
On this critical campaign stop, the Dark Knight will also build on his reputation as a "unifier" by keeping the Israelis and Palestinians as far apart as is physically possible.
In a most audacious move, Obama will assert that the Bush-McCain Peace Map for the area is ineffective and in need of immediate "change."
Having solved kerfuffels in Afghanistan, Iraq and between Israel and the Palestinians, the Dark Knight will return home where he will immediately endorse Speaker Pelosi's pummeling of President Bush as a "total failure."
The big question: Is Obama really the Dark Knight, or is he more like the Joker?

Hahaha reminds me of the Japanese who did a commercial with a bunch of people cheering with yes we can signs to a speech that turned out to be a monkey. Apparently they had no idea monkey was considered rascist in the US when referring to a black person :P

Apparently its a 'whistle stop' world tour which includes Pol Pot's grave, Hitler's memorial and some flying lessons in Saudi Arabia given specially by saudi student pilots.

Apparently he wanted to visit Opium farmers in Afghanistan and his PR team stopped him.

They got annoyed after he invited Maryam Rajavi to a dinner party/fundraiser.

Greetings!

Nah, there's no point in visitng dead people; they don't vote. He's got enough work with the living folks. It's satire, but pretty weak. What's more interesing tis that the Iraqi goverment endorsed Obama's withdrawll plan in the Mehr. The US claimed it was a mistranslation. Then the Iraqi government also offered a retraction, saying their endoresement was overstated. However, despite the post-comment manuvering, it seems Malki truly is on the same page as the Obama (an many Americans.)

Hmm, quick question, if the largely US backed democratically elected Iraqi government wants American troops out by such and such date and most US citizens ants their deocratically elected government to pull their troops out by the same date, how can the US continue to stay?

I don't think its fair calling that big gate in Germany Hitler's memorial. Hitler may have built it but its not dedicated to him, a national symbol of Germany and their quite proud of it. Also where is Pol Pot buried?

Hey man chill! Its a 'wind up' for dear Kermanshah1
