My proposal for a win-win situation regarding the Iraq issue

Saddam Hussein has been very obliging of U.S. wishes in the past when we "suggested" to him that he have at it with some country we didn't care for, like Iran. He also seems to have the habit of hearing what he wants to hear, kinda like the time our ambassador said "we don't care about your border dispute with Kuwait" and he turned it into "you should invade and annex Kuwait."

Knowing all that, why don't we turn it to our advantage? All we'll need to do is strategically rephrase what we told him last time, and instead of "Kuwait" replace that with "France." Of course, since the French swear up and down that Saddam doesn't have any weapons of mass destruction, they shouldn't have any problem warming up to ol' Saddam. After all, if he did invade and conquer France, it'd be a serious trade-up for him. All we'd have to do is get him to swear not to come back to Iraq again once he gets all nice and comfy and installs himself as the great benevolent leader of the cheese eatin' surrender monkeys. The Iraqi people get rid of him, and France gets a dictator who's perfect for the part. He's arrogant, rude, stinky, likes to wear a black beret around, and has a dislike for Americans and anti-semitic streak as big as that of any Frenchman.

Thoughts on my plan?

Holy sh!t!. I think you may have hit on the solution to the world's problem. How to get rid of the French and appease the Iraqi murderer. It's great.

I think you could simplify the invasion of France a bit, though. All Saddam would have to do to take over France is to promise to kick McDonalds out of the country. As an added bonus, he can promise the French people that he won't allow Disney France to sell any Mickey Mouse caps. You know how those frogs hate the big ears.

Nice idea, but there's a bit of a snag: While Saddam has a large army and weapons of mass destruction, he doesn't have a means to project power to other parts of the world; with no means to get his tanks and infantry over to France, the invasion won't work too well. Unless, of course, the French surrender at the first sign of trouble.

Don't forget also that France has a significant Islamic population.

Ahahahahaha God the French and the Iraqis were made for each other. Ahahahah What do you get when you cross a Frenchman and an Iraqi. An X made out to two assholes. Ahahahahahaha. What does an X made out of a Frenchman and an Iraqi mean. Bomb here. Ahahahahahahahahahahaha How do you tell a dead Frenchman from a dead Iraqi. The one with the twiching legs is the Frog. Ahahahahahahaha

Mooney, you really need to find a different supplier for your drugs. You are becoming inarticulaate. Hit the bong again, it might make you feel better.

Not a good plan. Maybe if your plan called for Iraq to invade and annex the West Bank and the Gaza I might agree. They could then kick Israel's ass out and maybe the Palestinians will be happy for the first time since the Jordanians and Egyptians had them under their thumb.

Not a very good plan either then what would we do with the Israelis? You could put all the Israelis on the moon and the Palestinians would call for a Jihad against the moon for shining it's light on their holy lands.

It was a tongue-in-cheek suggestion but when you think about it, it is quite elegant. Iraq invades the West Bank and Gaza; Israel puts up token resistance and pulls back, thereby saving face and getting rid of their settlement problem when they relinquish the land to the Iraqis. The US guarantees border protections for the Israelis according to the 1948 borders, thereby relieving Israel of its biggest worry of being pushed into the sea. Iraq gets to realize its greater influence in the region and the Palestinians are back living under the auspices of their Arab brethren of which they should be happy since, if they are going to be a doormat, they might as well be an Arab doormat.

yeah, maybe this should've been done before the French gave you Lafayette, de Tocqueville's writings, and the Statue of Liberty... by the way, you share the same colours on your flag with them, and that says A LOT...

Flags sharing colors says a lot? Does that mean that Canada is more like Japan than we'd previously thought? :Q

I think we should send over a load of ATOT "pimple farmers" hehe that'll be a real "win,win" for sure :)

Come on Baff, you know not to support things which would be against the Geneva Convention or crimes against humanity. You know how much of a cow that Amnesty International would have if we went through with that plan? My God, that's almost as bad as the person that suggested that we send Celine Dion on tour in Iraq. Think of the children!

vote glenn1/moonbeam in 2004!

Every voter for us gets a cabinet-level position! I'll hold a press conference later to announce that Red Dawn will serve as our Secretary of State.
