Bush Administration announces Operation Crushheathen.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Bush Administration announces new Iraq policy - Washington, Sat.

In a surprise move today, President Bush announced a major new combined-arms operation for the Iraq theater before a smaller than usual group of reporters in the Rose Garden. Operation Crushheathen concentrates on a newly identified group of suspected Terrorists in the Middle East. The new group is identified as being of the Muslim faith, Arab nationals living in the 'Iraqi Triangle' a new area of partisan activity roughly equivalent to the size of the former state of Iraq.

As part of the campaign, the US Interim Administration headed up by newly-appointed Halliburton Executive Paul Bremer will be moved to nearest designated 'Safe Zone' believed to be somewhere in Southern Germany. In a percieved reaction to civilian concerns about the rising 'death toll', the primary military aspect of the operation will involve precision bombing strikes by fleets of B-52's on terror 'hot spots' including the cities of Baghdad, Basra and Mosul.

Concurrent with the campaign Central Command will launch Operation Smashfoe, which is expected to target potential terrorist sympathisers in the Middle East region. A giant 'Holding Facility' is to be built to acommodate these partisans, who are identified as being between 3 feet 6 and 7 feet 2, male and/or female between the ages of 12 and 96, although some may be younger. The Israeli government is reported to be very keen on providing a location in the West Bank for these enemy combatants.

When challenged as to the timing of this announcement, at a time when most reporters are at home with their families, a time considered a media 'black hole', Mr Bush responded that 'questions are anti-American'.

1. You know, you can

follow this war just by the "code names" they give each operation. Let's see, the initial operation was called "Iraqi Freedom". Then, we had Ivy Serpent. I forget the rest.

Now, we have "Crush Heathen". Along with "Smash Foe". Great names. Their true intentions are finally out.
