Peace was achieved in Bagdhad this weekend after US liberation forces advised the Iraqi government call for a complete curfew during daylight hours. No cars. No pedestrian. Everyone had to stay at home as a precaution against the feared bombing of the International Zone.
GW Bush suggested the people of Bagdhad stay the course and order in pizzas for the duration of the no-go period. When told by Donald Rumsfeld that there were no take-out pizza shops in Bagdhad, the president said that then they’ll have to eat frozen pizza. No one bothered to inform the leader of the War on Terror that Bagdhad doesn’t have any frozen pizza.
Ignorance is blessed by more ignorance.
Military leaders are so pleased by the success of this action that they are contemplating a month long curfew for Ramadan, the Muslim holy period of fasting.
“They’re already not eating most of the day. What’s a month? Jesus didn’t eat the entire time he was in the desert.” A leading member of the GOP proclaimed leaving church this morning. “We’ve succeeded at bring peace to Iraq. If the terrorists can’t leave their houses, then they can only blow up themselves. I call this a win-win situation.”
Peace at last and no one had to cut bait and run.
So now the troops are asking, “Can we go home now?”
Maybe before Christmas.
