Iraqi terrorists promise to hand back stolen explosives “one bomb at a time”
The terrorists who have embarrassed the US Government by stealing 380 tons of high-impact explosive from a weapons dump in Iraq have vowed to return it to US military as soon as possible, in gradual, fissible amounts.
“We’ll even drive it up and deliver it right to the front door of their compound,” an spokesman for the Al Karar Brigade promised.
The US had been warned about the large quantity of weapons at the al-Qayaa site by the international weapons inspectors, but the army failed to secure the location during its push towards Baghdad. “I guess we could have destroyed it or something, but our first priority at the time was bombing hospitals and schools,” a US Army spokesman explained.
US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld played down the scandal. “It’s not nearly as bad as it could have been,” he said. “Those terrorists could have been armed by Saddam Hussein – our worst fear, which we went to war to prevent. Whereas terrorists being armed through US negligence is nothing new.”
President Bush says he feels vindicated by the theft of the explosives. “We’ve always maintained that Iraq had stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction,” he said. “While we may not have found any, at least now we know someone has.”
