Intelligence: Bush Meant
to Go to War with Iran
Bush intelligence manipulated by administration
SNAPPER McGEE
While visiting the Middle East, Bush attempts to explain to local government which one he went to war with and which one he plans war with in the near future.

Sources inside the Pentagon are now saying that señor capitan Bush easily confuses Iraq and Iran, and though he vehemently hates both countries, meant to go to war with one while appeasing the other with placating words. The trouble is, Bush may have gone to war with the wrong one.
Confirming the reports is recent retired general “Meat” Callaghan, who left his position as a war advisor shortly before the invasion of Iraq began.
“It was the intention early on that Bush meant to go to war with Iran, and all documents were signed to that effect,” said Callaghan Friday, at a local café where this reporter had to buy his soup. “Though the country formed even less a discernible threat than Iraq, the president claimed they had weapons of ass destruction and needed to bombardmentalized. We frankly thought there was some sort of intelligence problem—the president wasn’t getting the right intelligence to his brain. But he insisted there was no mistake, and thought the newspaper headlines reading ‘Iranis Ran From Iran’ would be funny enough to make him crap his pants.”
No one is naming names, but sources suggest that those in the chain of command below Bush rewrote orders under his name to make Iraq the intended target. A quote attributed to Dick Cheney, addressing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, sums up the alleged view of other Bush administration officials:
“I’m tired of him going to war with every country just because he thinks the name is funny. I tried to explain the complicated politics of the Taliban and the possibility they were aiding Al-Qaeda and all he could come up with was ‘Afghanstand sounds like a place where they sell blankets.’ Or when the Syrian ambassador came to negotiate the Iraqi invasion with us and he kept saying, ‘You Syrious?’”
Sources allege that Cheney and company did not fabricate presidential orders, merely “fixed” them. Retired Gen. Callaghan described the situation: “The president is good-natured and sincere enough in wanting to go to war, he just sometimes gets confused by all the dozens of names and funny-sounding words he gets all day. He just knows good countries and bad countries, coalitions and axis of evils—remembering real big issues and gray areas and such is hard. He knows one of those countries has the real bad leader who tried to kill his dad, and that’s the one he meant to go to war with. A good administration knows how to do what the president means rather than what he says.”
Answering the allegations in a press conference, outgoing White House spokesperson Ari Fleischer, clearly showing signs of weariness toward the end of his run, told something resembling the truth.
“The White House cannot confirm such reports without closer study, but yeah, it’s probably true. You know the man won’t go down as the sharpest president in history, I don’t think I’m rattling any expectations to say that much. All these reports about the Bush administration manipulating intelligence in the Iraqi war have it backwards—the administration understandably had to manipulate the Bush intelligence. You don’t want to see this guy try to do long division, you can actually see the brain cells committing hari kari.”
Most reporters, including this one, was so dumbstruck by the forthright revelations we couldn’t think of any follow-up questions.
the commune news is proud as a peacock, but usually ridiculed like a cock pea. Raoul Dunkin is filling in for White House correspondent Lil Duncan (no relation), who is on vacation and seeking to get a part in The Real Cancun 2.
