Subject: Eleven* More U.S. Troops Martyred Last Week In Afghanistan, Iraq

"But John McCain claims that we're winning?"

"Not!"

"Why not?"

"Winning = no bloodshed."

"Is that possible?"

"Not only possible, doable."

"How?"

"The day after Barack Obama becomes our president-elect he announces that upon his inauguration on January 20, 2009, he'll call for a cease-fire in Afghanistan and Iraq."

"Except there'll be a ten week hiatus between Obama's election and his inauguration."

"And ten more weeks of warfare at a cost of 11 martyrs weekly = 110 more of our loved ones martyred."

"Cause of death?"

"The ten week delay."

"The answer being?"

"President-elect Obama demands that lame duck president George Bush put out the call for a truce."

"And if lame duck President George Bush refuses?"

"Yes we can."

1. Martyred? Bizarre choice of language.

What do the American martyrs get?

If moslem martyrs get 72 virgins do American martyrs get 72 skanks?

3. Martyred? Get real.

Whatsamatter, was "fallen", the historically most commonly accepted term used to describe Western military deaths, not holy enough?
