Another Mission Accomplished!
May 8th, 2008
Oh boy! We caught ‘im! Some guy. They say he’s the leader of al-Qaida of Iraq. Well, that’s that, I guess, for the Sunni problem. After the Shiia have settled down, everything will be all right and we’ll see an end to hostilities in Iraq. And once things are quiet and nice over there, why not stay a while longer?

Not so fast. This morning, American military officials are denying that’s the guy. Iraqi security forces caught somebody else. Not the al-Qaida leader. Never mind. Back to the conflict, that’s already in progress!

Let’s hope this makes a difference. Wouldn’t it be funny if his mug shot said “Abu Ayyab Al-Masri” AKA “Lenny?”

It was all a mistake. Never mind. Nothing to see here. Move along…
