The cynical jokes below reflect rather well Bush and Blair's attitude towards invading Iraq:
- "Bush and Blair finally died like everybody else but, at the same time, being together then as they were in life. They reach the paradise's door, but the chief warden told them that they were refused entry and he sent them back to earth as snakes in a forest. Sometime later Bush asks Blair: are we poisonous snakes? Why do you ask said Blair. Because I bit my tongue said the ex-president, bright and smart as ever."
- At a convention in the States three well-known American surgeons are boasting about what they can do. The first one said that a first class pianist had both arms crushed and he was able to repair them to allow him to go on ever at a higher level in his career. The second one said that once a painter was brought to him after a bomb blew up in his face making him blind. He was able to rebuild it and now the painter is working even better that before. Well, said the third one, all you did is very nice but listen to what I was able to do. In Texas a train hit a cowboy and what was left was his hat and the horse's ass. Now he is our president.
- "The Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, and his senior aides went
to the White House to tell the President Bush their forecast of the number
of victims of an atomic strike on Iraq. Mr Rumsfeld tells the President that
ten millions of Iraqi civilians and one bicycle repairman would die. "Why
killing a bicycle repair man", asks the President? "See", says
the Defence Secretary to his aides, "I told you nobody would care about
the ten million Iraqis".
