Iran Test-Fires Missiles: U.S. Begins Wallet-Rattling

Posted: In small type toward the bottom of the "Mission Accomplished" banner

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As a provocative show of force against Israel and the United States, Iran test-fired seven medium- to long-range missiles and two deadly PhotoShop missiles late last week. The unarmed missiles as well as the non-existent ones were aimed at nothing in particular in an empty desert area inside Iran.

In response, Pres. George Bush immediately spent $500,000,000,000 on nothing in particular to show Iran that the United States means business and is not afraid to waste immense amounts of money on regime change that will eventually backfire as it unfailingly has in the past.

"Iran will be in shock and awe at the amount of money the U.S. is capable of throwing away to destroy their country and then prop up a weak, fledgling, ineffective puppet government. It's even proven that Arab peopleses in Arab countries probably love to be invaded by Americans," said Bush. "Someone told me that."

Bush's so-called "wallet-rattling" met with a swift rebuke from the Democratic-controlled Congress, who told Bush they would not fund his efforts. They then fast-tracked three blank checks to cover absolutely anything Bush wants until he leaves office.

"Now that's what I call 'cut and run,'" Bush said with a smirk. "It's like they cut the checks and I run and buy me some new camouflaged toys to show those Eye-ranians."
