/p> p> GETTING SYRIOUS br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s They Asked for It : /p>

I am waiting for the day when George W. Bush steps to a microphone to say:

"Good evening America, and also to the people of the nations of Syria and Iran. Today our military suffered a technical glitch which sent a few of our armed missiles into the homes of Syrian president Assad and some Iranian mullahs. Fortunately, these 'errant' warheads were armed with only conventional explosives and not 'noookleer' munitions, which would have taken the entire region down as well thousands of your people. For those citizens hurt or killed we're sorry.

"As you may know, occasionally, even the best deterrents sometimes need testing and well, the testing is 'hard work.' If you don't believe us, ask North Korea. We 'really tried' to target them elsewhere but, that's the breaks. The United Nations has informed us that they will be along anytime now with rescue personnel and rebuilding supplies. Missile technology is 'hard work,' it really is. Ask the North Koreans if they think accurate missile technology isn't 'hard work.'

"The good news is, according to our commanders on the ground, they have informed me that they now have the 'problem' fixed, and it probably won't happen again.
