Been Waiting for This

"Mr. Defense Minister, move me 10 battalions to the frontier with Colombia immediately, tank battalions," Chavez said on his weekly TV show. "The air force should mobilize. We do not want war."
-Sean Penn's friend, Hugo

I don't know why but the "10 battalions to the frontier... tank batallions" reminded me of Bob Dylan's 115th Dream:
I ordered some suzette, I said "Could you please make that crepe"
Think Sean Penn will criticize his friend, Hugo Chavez? I'm thinking not. For the Sean Penns, peace is only a device handy for opposing the United States in a conflict without having to admit that you're on the other side. I'll have some battalions, could you please make that tank.
