They Were Clearly Marked, "Not WMDs"
=v= The New York Sun — which nobody in NYC reads unless they've got a hankering for dense, pompous, viewpoints in dense, pompous, prose — broke a story about an alleged shipment of WMDs from Iraq to Syria:
Special Republican Guard brigades loaded materials onto the planes, he said, including "yellow barrels with skull and crossbones on each barrel."
Sadly, No! absolutely made my day with their additional investigative report on the matter:
Then on the Syrian side, government agents gave the Republican Guard big sacks marked '$' and everyone drank from a clay jug with 'XXX' on it.
(Via Sadly, No!)
Then on the Syrian side, government agents gave the Republican Guard big sacks marked �$� and everyone drank from a clay jug with �XXX� on it.
Oh my god, that just brought back a flood of memories of puppet shows and old Hindi religious movies featuring villains with who curl their mustaches with their pinkies and laugh maniacally while achieving universe domination.
