Better Allies Than The French

As usual, the Weekly World News has the story that others are afraid to report. The Administration has won the support of space aliens in its war on Saddam.

While the Bush administration is elated over the aliens' willingness to help overthrow Saddam, some critics remain skeptical about America's newest allies.

"It sounds like Bush is getting desperate," says one skeptic. "Little green men wanting to fight side by side with America? It's like Bush can't get the support of the other countries on our world, so he's counting on getting help from other worlds."

Hey, we'll take our friends wherever we can get them, these days. They sound like a great bunch of folks.

"They love Americans. Everything about Saddam Hussein disgusts them. They want to fight alongside of our troops and drink beer with them when it?s all over."

Chug a lug.

And after what Saddam has been putting the Iraqi people through, the aliens' comparatively gentle @n@l probings will seem like paradise.

I dunno. When they put on that TV show with Edwin Newman as the host a few years back, it kind of gave away the joke.
