US outsources Iran invasion to Iranian military
15 Jun 2005 by Glory Sergei

Economists fretting over the snowballing US public deficit were given a fillip today, as the Department of Defense announced plans to outsource the bulk of its planned invasion of Iran to the Iranian military.

All large-scale ground assaults, targeted missile attacks, journalist executions and prisoner humiliations will be farmed out to Tehran in a deal expected to save some 47 billion dollars, revealed Douglas J. Feith, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy.

"It just makes an awful lot of sense," said Feith. "The Iranian army has a good working knowledge of the country, access to high-level intelligence and, if it comes to it, three or four pretty powerful nuclear weapons."

The contract was signed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Iranian Interior Minister Abdolvahed Mousavi Lari. Iran's winning bid was undisclosed, but the Gulf State is known to have fought off strong competition in the tender from Scotland, Peru and Bangalore Telecoms Solutions LLC.
