Game Over, But Australia & US Will Not Pull Out Until The Job Is Done
John Howard has said the Socceroos loss against Italy was unfortunate, but Australians will not be coming home until the job is done. The US is also out of the World Cup, but George Bush has promised to send more soccer players to Germany to win the next round.
Bush has announced support for the coalition of the willing, with US players ordered to move in to play with England against Portugal at the weekend. 33 players will be on the field, together with tactical air support and the navy on stand-by.
Some of the troops will be transferred from Iraq, which Bush considers to be less safe the more Australia boosts its troop numbers there. Australian armed forces inadvertently killed minders for the Iraqi trade minister – a move that attracted condemnation and a red card, meaning Australia has to sit out the next gun battle in Baghdad.
Meanwhile the US terror alert has gone from “mild panic” to “shit scared” as the missile defence shield is activated to prevent attack by North Korea’s falically named Taepo-dong-1. “Shit scared” is one alert setting before “paralytic” when the President drinks himself into oblivion, before choking to death on a pretzel. Bush also wanted to activate the special cloaking device before being told that that was in Star Trek and didn't exist in real life.
There was disturbing news as well this week about how badly prepared the Sydney CBD was for a terrorist attack. Terrorists have complained about parking restrictions and congestion in the inner city area. A report has also shown that evacuation would be slow because the city centre is surrounded on three sides by water and, even with bombs going off, most people wouldn't pay the toll for the Cross City Tunnel.
