Aqua revolution

Talk about prescience! Long before the Global War on Terror was but a twinkle in Dick Cheney's eye, Our President opined, "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." The Left, with its usual cynicism, guffawed at the boldness of President Bush's Gandhi-like vision and stuck to their policy of appeasement to these finned jihadis. But just as our military successes in Iraq inspired Democracy throughout the Middle East,* it appears the fish, too, has learned the lessons of Saddam's vanquishment, and has ceased its hostilities towards America and enlisted in the cause of Freedom:

A type of fish so common that practically every American kid who ever dropped a fishing line and a bobber into a pond has probably caught one is being enlisted in the fight against terrorism.

San Francisco, New York, Washington and other big cities are using bluegills — also known as sunfish or bream — as a sort of canary in a coal mine to safeguard their drinking water.

Small numbers of the fish are kept in tanks constantly replenished with water from the municipal supply, and sensors in each tank work around the clock to register changes in the breathing, heartbeat and swimming patterns of the bluegills that occur in the presence of toxins.

Christians, this is quite possibly the richest dividends we've been able to reap from our Crusade in Iraq yet. While an alarming number of our fellow "Americans" are buying into Chairman Hillary's doctrine of Bush-hating and Defeatism, it is incumbent upon the rest of us to fight MSM's relentlessly negative distortions of the war effort and embrace the new aquatic members of the Coalition of the Willing. So welcome aboard, fish. I hope you enjoy President Bush's Freedom nearly as much as the rest of us do. Praise Him!

*Well, portions of it, anyway.
