US smashes Dad’s Army conspiracy against an old communist enemy

For Gods sakes, WHY?

“A plot by pro-American dissidents to overthrow one of the last Asian communist dictatorships has been thwarted by a US undercover agent who posed as an arms dealer.

Prosecutors in California charged ten people with conspiring to stage a coup in Laos, in a plot that recalls an airport departure lounge spy novel.”

Okay, that’s the last goddam straw!

Michael Sullivan, head of the ATF, said: “Fortunately, we were able to disrupt their activities before their plot evolved into a coup against a country with which the United States is at peace.”

That’s the operating phrase. “A country with which the United States is at peace.” So because we’re at peace now with those communist butchers, now no one else can topple a regime that we spent years and many lives in trying to do just that.

I mean, after all, we wouldn’t want them getting mad at us for letting a bunch of Laotian expatriates try to get their nation returned to Democracy. Oh Heavens to Betsy, no.

If that doesn’t prove we have a horde of jackasses running our country now, nothing ever will.
