Truth Surge?

I heard on the news Bush is considering a truth surge in Iraq. I think this is a bad idea.

First of all they said the Pentagon only has enough truth for a 7% increase in the truth strength in Iraq. That would stretch the truth dreadfully thin elsewhere, and could cause a truth collapse.

Second of all our country has invested heavily in Iraq and if we suddenly start telling the truth there we might have to write off our investments which would have severe economic consequences for America as well as a loss of overseas prestige.

Thirdly it would set a bad precedent. If we start telling the truth about our progress in Iraq then what would stop us from telling the truth about the federal deficit, global warming, the levees in New Orleans, Homeland Security, tax cuts, or any of the other things that we truthfully can't afford?

Write your congressmen and tell them the Truth Surge is a bad idea.

1. He wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit him in the ass.
Get ready for a whole steaming pile of truthiness...
