Just imagine the following scenario: it's the near future, and Bush is delivering his State of the Union Address:
"British intelligence reports 'The Greys,' the alien beings currently occupying the Moon, have attempted to purchase the nation of Niger in an attempt to build the world's largest aluminum tube. We believe that the aliens, in violation of international law, have conducted illegal medical experiments on human beings. Our intelligence indicates the aliens have developed a process to take the raw material collected via anal probes and transform it into uranium. The Greys could then produce a nuclear weapon with enough power to destroy the planet. And without a planet, those who somehow survive the firery destruction of the earth, will be left to drift in the cold vacuum of space, where they will most certainly, at some point, die. They could not scream for help because of the lack of oxygen, which would make screaming difficult. And even if they are successful in screaming for help -- and I plan on giving every man, woman and child in the United States a portable bullhorn -- the odds of someone being around to hear the scream -- like Superman -- is next to zero. We cannot wait for Superman. He's off in that place he goes to. We have to save ourselves.
Although we do not understand the language of the Greys, they, I believe in a sinister fashion, have learned to speak the language of the world, English. We have intercepted a transmission from the Greys. The world needs to hear what they are intending to do. Can someone roll that tape?' (Cheney holds up a portable tape recorder to a microphone): "...we....enough...all...(garbled)...dutch ovens." 'My fellow Americans, the Greys are a threat to us all. To the leader of the aliens, I say this: either dismantle your aluminum tube or leave the moon. If you do not comply, we will use the formerly top-secret 'Star Wars' weapon to destroy the moon. Our scientists tell me that, while the absence of the moon may cause minor problems, the threat of the aliens is a much bigger concern. I'd rather live in a world without a moon than a world with a moon that was home to a race of hostile alien beings. Thank you."
