U.S. TO MOVE TROOPS FROM SOUTHERN IRAQ TO NORTH, AND FROM NORTHERN IRAQ TO SOUTH
Andy Borowitz:
In a bold attempt to confuse Iraqi insurgents, the U.S. will move 10,000 troops from southern
Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker said at a Pentagon briefing today that the plan, called Operation Shell Game by the Army brass, was the Army’s best bet for leaving Iraqi insurgents scratching their heads.”This is the largest mobilization, re-mobilization and mobilization in U.S. military history,” Gen. Schoomaker said. “We believe that the Iraqi insurgents won’t know what hit them — or, what didn’t hit them.” …
Gen. Schoomaker, who paused a full 10 seconds in an earlier press briefing when asked if the United States was winning the war in Iraq — only to answer, “I don’t think we’re losing” — sought to clarify his position in today’s press conference: “Right now I would have to say the war in Iraq is a tie.”
