BREAKING: Al Qaeda To Apply For Bailout.
Citing the recent drop in the price of crude oil, its resulting impact on revenue to the Bin Laden family, and the general reversal of fortunes of the organization relative to the United States after the election of Barack Obama as President, Al Qaeda today announced plans to seek a bailout under the U.S. government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).


Speaking on a video released earlier today, current Al Qaeda deputy director Ayman Al-Zawahiri announced the organization’s intention to seek bailout protection.

'Economic conditions are such that we will require bridge financing from the Great Satan so that we can continue to provide services to the Great Satan in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and in emerging markets. Once economic conditions have stabilized, we are confident that the Great Satan will be repaid many times over in blood of the Infidel.'

Richard Perle, architect of the Iraq invasion, heralded the decision as one vital to the continued success of the Global War on Terror.

'Our ability to defeat Al Qaeda depends on having a healthy Al Qaeda with an identifiable presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. We cannot allow Al Qaeda to go underground.'

When asked if driving Al Qaeda underground wasn’t the object of fighting it in the first place, Perle maintained that the reporter "did not understand the complexity of asymmetrical warfare."

Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas, former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and longtime Al Qaeda supporter, echoed the sentiments of Perle, and stressed the need to act quickly on any bailout.

1. What would the pentagon do without a financially and economically strong enemy?
Makes perfect sense.
