The Onion: Bush To Iraqi Militants: 'Please Stop Bringing It On' |
|
WASHINGTON, DC—In an internationally televised statement Monday, President Bush modified a July 2003 challenge to Iraqi militants attacking U.S. forces. "Terrorists, Saddam loyalists, and anti-American insurgents: Please stop bringing it on now," Bush said at a Monday press conference. "Nine months and 500 U.S. casualties ago, I may have invited y'all to bring it on, but as of today, I formally rescind that statement. I would officially like for you to step back." The president added that the "it" Iraqis should stop bringing includes gunfire, bombings, grenade attacks, and suicide missions of all types.

...the reason this is parody is because we all know Bush doesn't give a shit how many US soldiers or Iraqi civilians die or are maimed in pursuit of whatever the hell he is hell-bent on pursuing...

4. I cringed when he said it last year |

I also liked the article from Condi that preventing 9/11 would have required people to work overtime. Brilliant!
