Iraq enters a new phase, "Donkey Cart RPG Attacks."
Edited on Fri Nov-21-03 04:01 PM by sgr2
Yes, you heard that right. The weird thing is, I feel sorry for this poor looking donkey.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Nov. 21 — More than a dozen rockets fired from donkey carts slammed into Iraq’s Oil Ministry and two downtown hotels on Friday morning — brazen coordinated strikes at some of Baghdad’s most heavily protected civilian sites that defied a U.S. crackdown.
TWO OTHER ROCKET launchers mounted on donkey carts were found within hours - one 30 yards from the Italian Embassy and another near the Academy of Fine Arts, both in the Waziriya neighborhood north of downtown.
Iraqi police and U.S. troops were securing those weapons, which apparently had not been fired, and U.S. soldiers searched donkey carts on nearby streets.
One man was carried away bleeding from the Palestine Hotel, where many foreign journalists and U.S. workers are staying. No other casualties were reported at the Palestine or the Sheraton Hotel across the street.

4. Hey, I think I know the plan!
Donkeys can be declared the real WMD, thereby eliminating skepticism about why we went to war, and, through association, implicating Dems as an added bonus!
:evilgrin:

7. I'm assuming that in the next 48 hours all donkeys in Iraq will be

slaughtered and all carts destroyed. Kinda fits in with the "Using a sledghammer to crack a walnut" philosophy that the Iraqi command has announced. Shock and Awe everybody. Shock and Awe!

8. And then PETA will invade Iraq putting all donkey abusers on notice!
That could just be "the straw that breaks the donkey's back", ha, ha, ha!

Uh oh, I think I'm making myself ill. Served up too many bad puns today.

We'll be hunting down the donkeys now.....

Funny how we have the most sofisticated techno-military stuff in the world and the lowly Iraqi's are slipping RPG's and explosives through in Donkey carts.......ironic, wouldn't you say?
